High-quality commissioning goes a long way when
it comes to ensuring that every system is
operating in accordance with construction
documents and specifications. Right from reducing
costs to making sure that the building meets all
quality requirements and standards, commissioning
offers significant advantages that make it vital
for the success of every construction project.
Thanks to the rising level of sophistication in
buildings, tighter construction schedules,
growing focus on energy efficiency and other
factors, commissioning has assumed an even more
prominent role in todays fast-evolving
construction industry. Despite all the obvious
benefits, commissioning, unfortunately, is often
an afterthought in many construction projects.
Lets take a look at the five most common
misconceptions that, at times, make builders
ignore commissioning.

• Commissioning is unnecessary Far from it! On the
  contrary, commissioning is a significant step in
  making sure that a building is constructed in a
  way that fulfills the expectations of the owner
  as well as the occupants. It can greatly improve
  the overall performance of the building. Also, it
  helps prevent many major issues by identifying
  and correcting problems in the initial stage.
• Commissioning is costly and time-consuming There
  is no denying the fact that commissioning can
  involve some upfront costs. However, in the long
  run, it can help save money by identifying and
  correcting problems before they become huge and
  insurmountable issues. Also, it can result in
  lower energy bills over time by making the
  building more energy efficient. By using a
  reliable commissioning management software, the
  time and cost of commissioning can be further
  reduced.
• 3) Commissioning is only for mechanical and
  electrical systems Over the past two decades,
  the scope of commissioning has grown
  significantly. Today, it is not just restricted
  to mechanical and electrical systems but
  encompasses many additional building systems such
  as plumbing, fire protection, and control
  systems. Ultimately, the scope of commissioning
  varies from project to project and depends on the
  attributes of a particular project.

4) Commissioning is only for new and large
projects While commissioning is more common in
large construction projects that have big and
complex buildings, it is useful in projects of
all sizes and is equally important in small
renovations. Many people associate commissioning
with new projects. However, it can also be
performed on existing buildings to improve their
performance and make them more energy efficient.
Also, commissioning is not just restricted to
commercial buildings but can be applied to all
types of buildings including residential and
industrial buildings. 5) Commissioning is a
one-time event Commissioning is a continuous
process that occurs throughout the complete
lifecycle of a building. The role and scope of
commissioning extends beyond the initial
commissioning during construction. It also covers
ongoing commissioning to ensure that all the
systems continue to operate as expected. It is a
process that involves ongoing testing,
monitoring, and maintenance to ensure that
systems are operating at their optimal
performance.

Commissioning can save a building owner from many
potential future risks and problems. It ensures
that the facility continues to operate as
intended. These days, most of the challenges
associated with commissioning can be overcome by
using a high-quality construction commissioning
software.
