Operations Maintenance Staff

• In the build environment, facilities operations
  and maintenance (OM) personnel are the
  uncelebrated heroes, who work behind the scenes
  painstakingly to ensure that buildings perform
  optimally at all times. They are the ones who
  make sure that the occupants of the building are
  safe and comfortable, and that systems and
  equipment are maintained well.
• As per general expectations, building OM is a
  costly affair. In fact, its the biggest cost
  incurred in owning and operating a facility over
  its entire lifecycle. Thankfully, building
  commissioning management companies may ease the
  owners cost burden specific to OM while
  lessening the learning curve of OM personnel,
  provided that they are included in the turnover
  phase.

How to Build Turnover

• It is crucial to include OM personnel in the
  design and planning phases of any new building
  project particularly, for the development of
  the Owners Project Requirements. Their
  contribution is important with respect to
  verifying system capabilities, offering feedback
  on unexpected maintenance-related problems, and
  giving insights into how end users will actually
  use the building.
• For instance, if the building is a college or
  university dormitory, OM personnel could easily
  predict that the end users will consume large
  amounts of hot water.
• These types of ideas can help facilitate the
  design and fulfil end user needs while ensuring
  that systems are just as complicated as they need
  to be.

Documentation for Vendor Contact

• The commissioning services and management agent
  examines documentation for vendor contact
  information, warranty, troubleshooting matrixes,
  replacement part availability, completeness, etc.
  The documentation package basically transfers
  project-related knowledge to the professionals
  assigned with the task to ensure that the
  building performs well.
• This documentation package should ideally
  include
• As-built plans
• System-level OM manual
• Construction test plans reports
• Owners project requirements and basis of design
• Final report of commissioning
• Systems manual

Takeaway

• Operations and maintenance professionals add
  value to the construction and design of buildings
  they will be operating and maintaining in future.
  Therefore, its important to have their inputs
  early on in the project. The opportunity to
  partner with them during the turnover phase is
  probably the last chance for commissioning
  management companies for ensuring a positive
  effect on the long-term health and performance of
  any building.
• Knowledge of the building-specific systems,
  equipment and controls can be shared with OM
  personnel in the form of a well-structured
  turnover documentation package, a user-friendly
  systems manual and an exhaustive systems training
  material.
