We manage the IT commissioning process from pre-handover through to day-one operations — coordinating contractors, testing infrastructure and ensuring everything works before the building is occupied.
Without a dedicated IT commissioning process, problems are only discovered after the building is occupied — when fixing them is more disruptive and expensive.
IT infrastructure involves multiple contractors: structured cabling, AV, access control, IPTV, network and telephony. Without one party coordinating them, gaps appear at the interfaces.
A hotel, office or commercial property that opens with non-functioning Wi-Fi, broken IPTV or unreliable network access suffers immediate reputational and commercial damage.
Physical inspection and testing of all installed IT infrastructure against the design intent before the building is handed over.
Powering up, configuring and testing all active IT systems — network switches, Wi-Fi access points, IPTV headends, telephony and AV.
Acting as the single point of contact for all IT-related contractors, resolving clashes and ensuring works are completed to programme.
Complete IT handover pack including as-built drawings, system credentials, warranties, maintenance schedules and training records.
We review the design intent, identify gaps and establish the commissioning programme — aligned with the overall construction programme.
We attend site to power up, configure and test all IT systems as they're completed — identifying issues while they're still easy to fix.
We produce and manage the IT snagging list, tracking all outstanding items through to completion before handover.
We compile the complete IT handover pack and formally sign off the IT systems with the client — documented and ready for day-one operation.
One team responsible for the outcome — not multiple contractors pointing fingers at each other.
Our systematic testing approach catches problems while they're still cheap to fix.
A complete, organised handover pack your FM team can actually use from day one.
Proactive commissioning during the build means fewer items on the final snag list.
Your building opens with IT systems that work — tested, signed off and documented.
We integrate with your existing project team rather than adding complexity.
Ideally, IT commissioning should be planned at the same time as the M&E design — typically RIBA Stage 2 or 3. The earlier we're involved, the easier it is to ensure duct routes, comms room locations and power provision are correct. Engaging at practical completion is possible but more expensive.
We commission IT infrastructure for hotels, offices, residential developments, mixed-use schemes, retail fit-outs and educational buildings. Any project where IT infrastructure is being installed as part of a construction programme.
Both. We work with clients who want independent assurance that their IT systems are delivered correctly, and with main contractors who need a specialist IT commissioning manager to coordinate subcontractors and manage the IT programme.
Get IT commissioning on your programme now — before problems become expensive.
