Dewick & Associates specialise in the preparation of clear, structured, and technically robust Commissioning Plans for construction and building services projects across all sectors.

Our in-house Chartered Engineers and Technical Writing Team develop detailed commissioning documentation that defines the required procedures, system responsibilities, testing protocols, inspection requirements, and commissioning sequences necessary to verify that installed building services systems operate in accordance with the design intent, regulatory requirements, applicable standards, and project performance criteria.

Commissioning Plans: Technical Overview

A Commissioning Plan is a structured technical document that defines how building services systems will be tested, inspected, coordinated, and verified throughout the construction process It establishes the procedures, responsibilities, testing requirements, and performance criteria necessary to confirm that mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, fire, lighting, and control systems operate in accordance with the design intent, applicable standards, and project requirements.

Dewick & Associates’ streamlined documentation process supports the full commissioning lifecycle, from early-stage planning through to final verification and handover. Our in-house Chartered Engineers and Technical Writers prepare clear, coordinated Commissioning Plans aligned with regulatory requirements and recognised industry guidance and standards, including:

This ensures commissioning activities are compliant, consistent, and aligned with recognised industry standards.

Content

Commissioning Plans are tailored to the specific scope, complexity, and staging requirements of each project. The document is typically structured to provide a clear framework for managing system verification activities, coordination responsibilities, programme sequencing, and compliance records throughout the commissioning process.

Typical content may include:

Commissioning Plans may also include seasonal commissioning and post-occupancy tuning activities to verify and optimise system performance under real operating conditions. These services can also be delivered separately as part of a Building Tuning Plan 

Commissioning Plans vs Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs)

It is important to distinguish between key commissioning documents:

Dewick & Associates provide both coordinated Commissioning Plans and pre-populated ITPs to ensure a complete and structured commissioning framework.

Format

Dewick & Associates deliver professionally prepared Commissioning Plans in flexible formats tailored to project and client requirements, supporting regulatory compliance, coordinated system commissioning, and effective long-term building operation.

We typically provide fully structured digital Commissioning Plans via PDF distribution or through our cloud-based document management platform, nucleus, ensuring secure access, efficient collaboration, and streamlined handover management.

All pricing is developed on a project-specific basis, reflecting the scope of works, system complexity, and delivery requirements, providing a scalable and cost-effective commissioning documentation solution for projects of all sizes.

Integration with Building Performance

Commissioning Plans form part of a wider building performance strategy and may be aligned with:

This ensures that system performance is not only verified at handover but supported throughout the operational lifecycle.
