Building Services Commissioning and Systems Handover

A building is only finished when its services actually work together and the client can operate them safely. This course covers the commissioning of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, integrated testing, and the assembly of a complete handover pack. It is written for African projects where handover is often rushed and buildings are occupied before systems are proven.

What you will be able to do

  • Plan a commissioning programme aligned to the construction schedule.
  • Coordinate pre commissioning checks across services trades.
  • Witness functional and integrated system performance tests.
  • Compile operation and maintenance manuals and as built records.
  • Manage snags, defects and outstanding items at handover.
  • Run client familiarisation and demonstrate system operation.
