a built environment. Furthermore, many have hands-on construction experience,
which gives them invaluable understanding of field conditions and processes
around which a successful commissioning plan must be built.

commissioning is based, as well as the documentation recommendations of Portland

not produce the desired results without an effective Commissioning Authority.
BGCE Engineers are well respected for their project management skills, including
pro-active planning, comprehensive coordination, effective documentation, and
focused quality assurance efforts. Building Commissioning is an important process
to ensure that a building functions as it should in terms of system performance
and life cycle durability.
