Commissioning Scoping Meeting
The scoping meeting brings together all members of the design, construction, and operations team that will be involved in the commissioning process. In attendance are the respective representatives of the GC, CM, CA, PM, A/E and the mechanical, electrical, controls, and TABxe "TAB" subs Each building system to be commissioned is addressed, including commissioning requirements, and completion and start-up schedules. During the scoping meeting, all parties agree on the scope of work, tasks, schedules, deliverables, and responsibilities and lines of reporting and communication for implementation of the Commissioning Plan. A commissioning scoping meeting is planned and conducted by the CxA before the beginning of construction. Prior to this meeting the CxA is given, by the GC, all drawings and specifications and the construction schedule by trade. The CxA keeps notes from the meeting and distributes them to each team member.
The CxA finalizes the draft Commissioning Plan using the information gathered from the scoping meeting. The initial commissioning schedule is also developed along with a detailed timeline. The timeline is fine-tuned as construction progresses.
