Commissioning
Commissioning for JLW is the most critical aspect of the project development cycle as it ensures that a building and its systems are handed over to operate safely, efficiently and in accordance with the owner requirements. Proper commissioning is not just a testing and verification process and must start early in the project and continue until a comprehensive handover to the operations and maintenance team is achieved.
Our in-house Commissioning Management (CxM) team provides independent building commissioning services on our projects and integrated project solutions for owners, end users and occupiers. Our multi-sector expertise and cross-service capability are focused on all aspects of building services systems — regardless of scale, challenges or complexities, we work collaboratively to enable smarter and better outcomes.
Commissioning is a quality process which provides documented confirmation of proper installation and function of a building’s systems. Correct commissioning ensures the building systems will be set up to meet Owner project requirements and operational needs. The comprehensive commissioning process is based on several industry guidelines and standards including the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), and Building Services Research & Information Association (BSRIA) Commissioning Codes and Guidance Documents, but has been tailored to meet the specific needs of this Owner.
