Overview
Businesses today are increasingly dependent upon their mechanical and electrical systems. As the potential for lost profits due to business interruptions increases, the reliance on critical mechanical and electrical systems increases. Successful projects require skillful and thoughtful integration of these critical systems through the design, implementation and commissioning process.

AKF's Commissioning Group provides testing and commissioning services that follow a systematic process of ensuring all building systems perform interactively according to the design intent and the Owner's operational needs. Our success is achieved by commencing the process early on in the design phase, documenting the design intent and continuing through construction, confirming acceptance and the warranty period, and providing actual verification of performance.

Our Commissioning Group is thoroughly committed throughout the process and has extensive experience in commissioning various types of facilities, including financial, commercial, central plant and tenant fit-out. The key to our successful commissioning is clear and consistent communication. Having published articles in HPAC, the ASHRAE Journal and other nationally recognized technical publications; our team has established a level of written and verbal communications expertise that is unmatched. Therefore, a great deal of our efforts are focused on clear and consistent communication of project plans, activities, change orders and commissioning results to all affected parties. Our track record proves our success in unifying design and construction teams in the pursuit of construction excellence. Clear communication means giving construction personnel the information they require to correct deficiencies and prevent them from recurring in the future. Our clients rely on us to be on site early-on to diagnose initial signs of potential problems and resolve and document issues in such a manner to avoid re-occurrence. This fast action and our ability to diagnose system troubles and determine responsibility helps to resolve these issues efficiently and effectively. Our Commissioning services include:
