Building Commissioning

Ensure your building performs flawlessly from the start. Our comprehensive commissioning services verify systems are properly installed, rigorously tested, and functioning precisely as designed—guaranteeing your facility delivers optimal performance from day one.

Maximize Your Building’s Potential

Effective commissioning is fundamental to project success, ensuring your mechanical and electrical systems meet design specifications while enhancing occupant comfort and significantly reducing operational costs. Through our collaborative approach, we forge strong partnerships with clients and project teams, working together to deliver engineering solutions that consistently exceed expectations and create lasting value.

Dunham is the partner you need for superior commissioning results. Our advantage lies in our team of highly qualified, certified commissioning agents working alongside seasoned design engineers—all with hands-on commissioning experience. This unique combination allows us to bridge the critical gap between theoretical design and practical field installation expertise, particularly with complex building controls. We offer comprehensive flexibility, providing third-party commissioning of other firms’ designs, commissioning our designs, or participating on design teams where another agent commissions our work.

Because we participate in all sides of the commissioning process–designing, reviewing, and verifying we understand how to navigate the relationships across teams. Our responsive, team-first approach ensures that the commissioning plan provides value to the building and facility staff longer after completion.
