Services Commissioning
Management (SCM) 

Commissioning isn’t a phase. It’s a discipline. BASE works with builders and head contractors to plan, manage and deliver commissioning before handover risk starts to compound.

THE ROLE

What Services Commissioning Management actually does

Commissioning sits at the intersection of every major building system: mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, fire, BMS, lifts, AV, ICT, security, controls, converged networks.

Each subcontractor has its own scope, program and pressure. Without a dedicated commissioning manager, gaps build quietly and surface loudly. Usually at handover. And usually when there is no time left. 

BASE prevents that.

We work inside the builder’s delivery team to create the commissioning framework, manage the sequence, coordinate interfaces, track progress, and resolve issues before they become late-stage exposure. 

What we deliver

Serviceability & Design 

We find commissioning risk while it is still cheap to solve.

• Serviceability management
• Design reviews
• Services coordination oversight
• Value management input
• Programming advice

Services Management 

We coordinate the systems that need to work together, not just beside each other.

• Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and fire services
• Lifts and vertical transport
• AV, ICT, security and converged networks
• BMS and controls integration
• Digital twin and building systems input
• Subcontractor sequencing
• Technical oversight

Commissioning Management 

We give the project a live commissioning spine.

• Commissioning plan creation
• Testing matrices
• Witness testing schedules
• Readiness reviews
• Defect and issue management
• Progress reporting
• Documentation review
• Accreditation support

Delivery & Handover 

We help the project reach handover with evidence, not excuses.

• On-site coordination
• Systems integration
• Operational verification
• Soft Landings support
• Handover documentation
• Post-handover operational upgrades 

Our approach 

Early. Systematic. Resolved. 

BASE starts by defining the commissioning path. We map what needs testing, who owns each step, what evidence is required, when each system has to be ready, and what happens when it isn’t. 

We use dashboards, inspection reports, readiness trackers and progress reporting so the project can see the truth early.

Issues do not sit in meeting minutes until they become claims. They get owned, tracked and resolved.

Why builders bring us in 

Because late commissioning surprises are expensive

A commissioning issue found early is a task. The same issue found at handover is a delay, a cost, a dispute, and a reputation problem. 

BASE helps builders protect program certainty by making commissioning visible early and manageable throughout delivery.

We don’t arrive when the problem has already become handover pressure. We arrive early enough to prevent it.

Handover pressure starts long before handover. Bring BASE in early and give commissioning the structure it needs.
