  • Energy and comfort tuning against the OPR baseline
S6

Retro-Commissioning & Digital Handover

How we work

One project team. Shared programme.

PCM embeds inside your delivery team — chairing trade coordination, witnessing tests, signing off gates — so commissioning stops being the bottleneck at handover.

Pre-Construction Phase

Pre-Construction & Sourcing Services

We help developers, builders, and project managers eliminate post-contract variations early by establishing rigorous commissioning parameters.

01Pre-Tender Stage

MEP Demarcation Matrix

One of the most frequent sources of post-contract variations is duplicate pricing or installation gaps at trade interfaces. We produce a comprehensive MEP Demarcation Matrix during the design stage to define exactly who supplies, installs, wires, and commissions every system interface (e.g., BMS interface with fire dampers, or water-meter pulse wiring).

02Tender Assessment

Pre-Bid Technical Gap Analysis

We audit subcontractor tender packages against CIBSE, ASHRAE, and project specifications. Our team identifies hidden gaps in the contractors' proposed commissioning allowances, testing equipment budgets, and scheduling provisions, ensuring you select the contractor best equipped to deliver.

03Design Verification

Technical Commissionability Reviews

Our design reviews evaluate whether the proposed MEP layout is physically testable. We verify the placement of flow measurement devices, sensor pockets, access hatches, and balancing valves to ensure that when your system is built on-site, it can be regulated under CIBSE Code M guidelines.

PCM Strategy Deliverable

Applying Early-Stage Commissioning Sizing Practices:

Verifying trade interfaces and technical scopes during the pre-design review ensures mechanical plants are not over-specified, saving significant capital expenditure and downstream commissioning energy.

How we engage

Three ways to bring us in. One team mindset.

Developer, builder or trade subcontractor — whoever holds our contract, we configure the reporting line to suit. Choose a path to see who we report to and how we collaborate.

"Independent assurance, owner-side voice"

Contracted directly by the developer, asset owner or fund, we sit alongside your project team as the Independent Commissioning Agent (ICA). We collaborate with the builder and trades — witnessing, reviewing and signing off — while reporting back to you without filter, protecting your investment and securing Green Star / NABERS credits.
