Technical expertise and hands-on support throughout design, construction, and operations.
Building Commissioning
Advantus has provided building commissioning services since our inception. We work closely with owners, designers, and contractors throughout design and construction to verify that building systems are installed, tested, and performing in accordance with project requirements and operational goals.
Our commissioning process helps identify and coordinate resolution before turnover, supporting reliable system performance, efficient operation, and a smoother transition to building occupancy.
We often use CxAlloy, a cloud-based commissioning management platform, to support checklist completion, functional testing, issue tracking, and project documentation.
