Commissioning of ventilation, water and building services systems — handover, witnessed and validated.
Independent commissioning of mechanical, electrical, public health and HVAC systems across new build, refurbishment and complex retrofits — to BSRIA, CIBSE and Soft Landings. One team, one set of records, one accountable engineer from setting-to-work through to PC.
Commissioning of Mechanical, Electrical & Public Health Systems
Commissioning is where a project either lands cleanly or unravels. Done well, it's an engineered process: setting-to-work, static checks, dynamic balancing, performance validation and handover — every step witnessed, every result documented. Done badly, it's a clipboard exercise and the client gets a building that doesn't deliver the design.
Birmingham Water Solutions provides independent commissioning of mechanical, electrical, public health and ventilation systems on new-build and refurbishment projects across the UK — at scales from a single AHU to a 60,000 m² hospital.
We work directly for owners, main contractors and M&E contractors. Our default is BSRIA-aligned with Soft Landings where the brief calls for it — and we don't sign off anything we haven't witnessed.
From our Birmingham base we provide mechanical, electrical and public-health commissioning across Birmingham and the West Midlands, and on projects UK-wide.
When you need it
- You're about to take handover and need independent commissioning rather than self-witnessing
- Your programme is tight and you need a team that can mobilise in days, not weeks
- You need commissioning of HVAC, water systems, BMS and dosing in one accountable contract
- You've inherited a part-commissioned system and need a competent gap-fill plus close-out
- You're delivering under a Soft Landings framework and need a partner who understands it
- Performance testing has flagged a defect and you need diagnostic commissioning to resolve it
What's included as standard.
A typical engagement covers every line below. Where your scope needs more — multi-site rollout, white-label delivery, framework KPIs — we build it on top of this baseline.
Setting to Work
Witnessed plant start-up, isolation checks, electrical verification, BMS point-by-point validation.
Pre-Commission Cleaning Coordination
Coordination of BG29 cleaning (in-house) and integration with the wider commissioning programme.
Water System Commissioning
Hydronic balancing, flow/temperature validation, dosing, sample evidence to BG50, written scheme handover.
Ventilation Commissioning
AHU performance, filter integrity, supply/extract balancing to CIBSE Code A, fire-damper witnessing.
Performance Validation
Setpoint hold, response, alarm validation, BMS witnessing, design-intent verification and seasonal commissioning.
Handover & Evidence
Witnessing records, commissioning data sheets, O&M-ready evidence pack and post-occupancy seasonal review.
