  1.  The commissioning management services company is in direct contract with the owner of the building and it acts as an independent, 3rd-party representative who ensures that the entire commissioning phase is completely unbiased and follows best practices while working towards achieving the project requirements of the owner.  The commissioning authority bears the responsibility to assist the project team during construction, acceptance and design phases, which ensures that the project achieves success, but without being dependent on the construction and design teams, so as to maintain objectivity.  The commissioning process needs the commissioning authority to develop testing procedures, data forms and checklists, and record performance criteria.

  5.  Accuracy, efficiency, comprehensive verification and unbiased view are to name a few of the reasons why reputable commissioning management services stress on completing commissioning documentation.  Contractors are made fully aware of their tasks and responsibilities. Installers know that they have the time to concentrate on their work and building owners have the reassurance that their project is being commissioned by a dedicated team of experienced professionals.
