BMS Commissioning Done Right — The First Time

BMS commissioning is one of the most commonly skimped phases of a building project. When the installing contractor self-certifies their own work, deficiencies are routinely missed — or documented and then ignored. The result is a building that never performs as designed and an owner left managing the consequences for years.

BMS Professional Services provides independent commissioning management — objective, thorough verification that the system has been installed and programmed to specification, every point tested, every sequence proven, and complete documentation delivered to the client at handover.

  • Commissioning plan and test procedure development
  • 100% point-to-point verification against I/O schedules
  • Sequence of operations functional performance testing
  • Alarm and interlock testing
  • Energy management and optimisation function verification
  • Deficiency log management and close-out tracking
  • Complete As-Built and O&M documentation review
  • Owner training and handover support
Common Commissioning Problems We Resolve
  • Contractor self-certification with no independent check
  • Incomplete sequence of operations testing
  • Missing or inaccurate as-built documentation
  • Deficiency lists not closed out before handover
  • No functional test of energy management functions
  • Inadequate owner training on system operation

Frequently Asked Questions

When the same contractor installs and commissions a BMS, there is an inherent conflict of interest — defects may be overlooked or undocumented to avoid cost and delay. An independent commissioning manager verifies that every point, sequence and function operates as specified, providing you with an objective record of system performance at handover and the leverage to require remediation of any deficiencies before accepting the works.
Controls commissioning confirms that individual points and devices are installed, wired and functioning correctly — essentially a point-by-point check. Functional performance testing (FPT) goes further, verifying that the complete system operates as intended under realistic conditions — testing HVAC sequences, alarms, interlocks and energy management functions in integrated operation. Both are required for a properly commissioned building.
Ideally, we are engaged at design stage so we can review specifications, develop the commissioning plan and establish test procedures before the contractor begins programming. However, we can add significant value at any point in the project — including picking up and rescuing a failing or incomplete commissioning process mid-build.
Yes. Retrocommissioning — systematically testing and optimising a BMS that was never properly commissioned — is one of the most cost-effective investments a building owner can make. It typically delivers substantial energy savings and dramatically improves system reliability without requiring hardware changes.
At handover you receive: completed point-by-point verification checklists; functional performance test records for all sequences; a resolved deficiency log; reviewed As-Built drawings and O&M manuals; graphics and trending configuration records; and an owner training completion record. All documentation is formatted for long-term retention and future reference.
