The design and construction marketplace has and will change. Clients want buildings that work. Commissioning is vital to prove that the building performs satisfactorily. Practice posits that commissioning takes place during the whole construction period and does not finish until at least one year after turnover to the owner. It is also argued that formal documentation and proof of performance is required as part of the turnover documentation. Alternatively this cannot happen in a organically growing building--things are always changing. Both sides of the argument must be understood to write good work scopes and contract documents.
