Owner's Representative & Advisory Services
Independent representation of the owner's interests in building systems, from concept through occupancy — a set of services focused entirely on protecting owner value.
- Owner's advocate for building systems (MEP) throughout design and construction
- Independent review and second opinions on building systems for owners
- Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) development and facilitation
- Basis of Design (BOD) review for alignment with owner goals
- Design and construction oversight from the owner's perspective
- Building systems quality assurance and performance advocacy
Systems Integration Advisory
Getting a building's systems to work together as one — HVAC/BAS, fire protection, lighting control logic, low-voltage and telecom, access control and security, and the software and networks that tie them together. We don't design the systems; we help you decide what you truly need them to do together, advocate those expectations to your design team, and verify the result. See how systems integration works →
- Define what the owner really needs the systems to do together
- Surface capabilities and possibilities you may not know to ask for
- Advocate integration expectations to the design team early, when they can still be designed in
- Cut through vendor and platform pitches on the owner's behalf
- Commission the integration — verify the systems actually talk and behave as promised
Commissioning Services — By Project Phase
Commissioning carried through the full life of the project, keeping design intent aligned with the owner's requirements at every stage.
Planning & Pre-Design
- Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) development and facilitation
- Commissioning scope and planning
- Early goal-setting for systems performance, energy, and outcomes
Design Phase
- Commissioning-focused review of engineering documents (design reviews)
- Basis of Design (BOD) review against the OPR
- Commissioning specifications for the project documents
- Verification that design intent supports the owner's requirements
Construction Phase
- Commissioning submittal review
- Installation, startup, and readiness verification
- Functional performance testing of building systems
- Issues log tracking and resolution to closeout
Occupancy & Post-Occupancy
- Seasonal and deferred functional testing
- Systems manual and O&M documentation verification
- Owner and operator training verification
- Warranty-period review and end-of-warranty check
Existing-Building Commissioning
Tuning and verifying the buildings you already operate — restoring and sustaining performance over time.
- Retro-commissioning (RCx) of existing buildings
- Re-commissioning of previously commissioned buildings
- Monitoring-based and ongoing commissioning
- Building systems performance assessments and tune-ups
Code-, LEED-, and Program-Required Commissioning
Commissioning that satisfies regulatory, certification, and program mandates — with the documentation to prove compliance.
- State energy code–mandated commissioning
- LEED Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning
- Federal and agency-required commissioning
- Documentation to support code compliance and green-building certification
General Contractor & Construction Support
Independent commissioning and building-systems support for contractors delivering high-performing MEP systems.
- MEP systems review and constructability support
- Submittal and coordination support
- Startup, testing, and turnover support
- Independent verification of installed systems performance
