Pre-Design Checklists

Developed by the commissioning team during the writing and development of the owner’s project requirement document [OPR], with documentation submissions during the pre-design phase being defined by these goals.

They will cover all systems, equipment, and components that will be installed, set up, and commissioned on the project.

To make it efficient, many projects will utilize an electronic platform where they will have a standard list of checks that can automatically be populated for the equipment as generally, the checks will be the same project to project.
