1.1  Organising the Commissioning Process

1.1.1  The organisation of the commissioning process should flow from the structure put in place for the management of the project, for which an Investment Decision Maker/ Project Owner and Project Director will have been identified. It is essential that an appropriate commissioning structure is established to meet the requirements of the commissioning function.

1.1.2  As the scheme moves into the commissioning phase, the individual appointed as the Commissioning Manager may be:

•  the existing Project Manager;

•  the existing Project Director;

•  a new Commissioning Manager working to the project/programme development manager (with the Project Director remaining responsible for the construction project); and

•  a new Commissioning Manager appointed by and working to the Project Director.
