Commissioning Audit
John Herbert
Director
Kelcroft's commissioning audit is the real time
process to verify that the building delivered at
handover has been properly tested, commissioned,
and is operating as intended.
We are the independent eyes and ears for the entire
commissioning process, starting from auditing the
contractors commissioning plan, then fieldwork, and
T&C record keeping.
The goal is ensuring that after building commissioning
is complete, the engineering systems operate in accordance
with the design intent.

The construction of buildings is somewhat unique in that
each building is different, and each has different set of
complex engineering systems. And in Asia, all commercial
buildings have air conditioning systems, however the type
and configuration varies from building to building, so each
is an individual project.
The commissioning processes for a building using VRV air
conditioning is different to commissioning a building with
a 3000kw central chiller plant being one obvious example.
The range and capacity of the engineering systems installed
in modern buildings is vast, therefore person responsible for
auditing the commissioning work needs an enormous range of
knowledge to effectively oversee the process, and if necessary
correct any errors during the T&C processes.
And under modern construction contracts, all the duties and
resposibilities rest soley on a single Contractor, so its rather
difficult to understand the T&C processes until after
handover, when the T&C records are provided for review,
in practical terms is too late. Therefore, auditing the
commissioning work should be carried in real time.
Engaging Kelcroft for real time commissioning audit provides
piece of mind, knowing that whole T&C process is independently
monitored, from the commissionability study, commissioning plan,
site work,through to record keeping.
Its important to choose commissioning auditor with the right
knowledge and deepth of experience. International experience dealing
with a range of E&M systems would be critical. With our
knowledge we can also help the contractors complete the T&C work
in complex environments.
Our international experience including UK, Middle East, and Asia,
our work troubleshooting MEP problems, and our body of energy
audit work that provides a unique range of skills and knowledge
to offer real time, independent auditing for building commissioning.
Ultimately, the whole commissioning process should be audited in real time
to ensure smooth handover and energy efficient operation for further
