Commissioning

Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) has become an integral part of the design and construction of new buildings. As Building Enclosure Commissioning Agent, we evaluate all aspects of the building enclosure system to assure the buildings envelope operates as intended and meets specific energy and code requirements.

As Architects and Engineers we can find the deficiencies because we have designed solutions.

The Bell & Spina Process:

INVESTIGATION

We begin every potential project with a thorough inspection, examining all available documents and schematics -- plumbing, electrical, mechanical, drainage and more.

DIAGNOSIS

After our exhaustive investigation, we diagnose the needs, priorities, and solutions necessary to achieve our client's objectives.

OPTIONS

We always attempt to offer options that may be scalable to budget or performed in stages that allow us to deliver a successful solution without compromising quality.

IMPLEMENTATION

When it is time to commence the construction or remediation, clients are fully informed of the scope, sequence, and style of the approach we will pursue.

SUPPORT

We pride ourselves in providing extended and extensive support as needed from the start of a project through any follow up the client may seek.
