Our commissioning efforts typically include involvement across all project phases — design, construction and startup. By participating actively throughout the life of a project as a strong owner-advocate, our commissioning professionals contribute to the project's success and serve as a conduit of communication and problem-solving among all parties.
Our professionals have commissioned more than $12 billion in new construction. We offer services across our network of offices, with experience merging commissioning information in major design platforms, including building information models, CxCT and computerized maintenance management systems.
We have team members with all relevant commissioning credentials, from organizations including the AABC Commissioning Group (ACG), ASHRAE and the U.S. Green Building Council. The team's extensive experience informs your project with industry-leading best practices designed to reduce your costs and maximize your results.
Verifying and Documenting Facility Systems
Commissioning is a systematic process of verifying and documenting that your facility and all of its systems and assemblies are planned, designed, installed, tested, operated and maintained to your project requirements. Our goal is to turn over a building that delivers, or exceeds, the performance and energy savings promised by its design.
Ideally the commissioning process begins before the design phase, continues into the warranty period for a minimum of one year after construction, and prepares your operations personnel to take on the job. Our commissioning services can be provided independently or bundled with our full spectrum of planning, design and construction services.
Case Study
Correctional Facility Commissioning
Burns & McDonnell
Our firm served as the commissioning manager for the ground up design and construction of a 33-building correctional campus with a comprehensive array of supporting facilities and infrastructure, housing 3,600 inmates and providing more operational space for prison staff. This new campus project is the largest construction project ever undertaken by the State of Utah.

Operational and Cost Benefits of Early Commissioning
Burns & McDonnell
Engaging commissioning and startup staff early in the project life cycle and detail design helps to minimize potential startup and operational risks. A comprehensive turnover, commissioning and startup plan sees to it that all aspects of a facility, power plant, refinery or electrical substation function as expected.
