Commissioning is the process of verifying and documenting that a building’s sub-systems are designed and installed per the owner’s project requirements and in accordance with the architectural and engineering specifications. In addition to mechanical, electrical and plumbing, building systems but may also include telecommunications, security, fire alarm systems, structural systems and building envelopes.

B&R utilizes a step-by-step Cx approach and plan that begins during the project design phases and continues through post-construction. Cx can also be an important component of achieving LEED points and status. Cx services provide a quality-based process with documented confirmation that building systems are planned, installed, tested and operated in compliance with industry standards and defined objectives.
