Bartlett Cocke General Contractors realizes the critical importance of the
closeout and commissioning process and how it can affect the overall
success of a construction project. We work with owners and design professionals to effectively manage the closeout and commissioning
process and to ensure fulfillment of all regulatory requirements for a
complete and operational building. We provide a complete closeout and
commissioning program that successfully transitions the project to the
client and ensures that all project components and systems are operational.

While most of the requirements for closeout and commissioning occur near
the end of a project, Bartlett Cocke General Contractors does not wait until
we have achieved substantial completion before addressing these items.
We have created a process that addresses closeout and commissioning very early in the planning stages of a project and integrates closeout and
commissioning into the project discussions throughout the life of a
construction project. Our “Start-to-Finish” Program takes closeout and
commissioning into consideration from the beginning of a project during pre-
construction and keeps closeout and commissioning a critical agenda item
through final completion.

Building owners and managers have become increasingly concerned
with the efficient operation and maintenance of their facilities. Bartlett
Cocke General Contractors has developed a total building commissioning
management plan to assist the owners and design professionals we
work with achieve, validate and document, that the performance of the
total building and its systems meets the design needs and requirements
established. Total building commissioning includes the checkout and
performance of all building systems and components including mechanical
systems, electrical systems, life safety, testing and balancing, and indoor
air quality.

Bartlett Cocke General Contractors strives to closeout and commission our
projects within 60 days of achieving substantial completion. We begin the
closeout and commissioning process during pre-construction and include
the owner and design professionals in the process. This is a significant
culture shift for the construction industry; which currently achieves
substantial completion, completes the punch list, submits operation and
maintenance manuals and turns over as-built drawings sometime before
the close of the warranty period.
