What phase is the initial Cx Plan developed?

• A. Pre-Design Phase
• B. Construction Phase
• C. Post-Occupancy Phase
• D. Design Completion Phase

Answer: (A)

The initial Cx Plan is developed in the Pre-Design Phase. This early stage is when the project’s goals and requirements are defined, and it’s essential to outline how commissioning will be carried out, what will be verified, who is responsible, and what the schedule and deliverables look like. Creating the plan at this time ensures that the commissioning scope and verification activities are integrated with design decisions and procurement from the start. The plan is intended to be a living document that evolves as design progresses and construction unfolds, but the foundation is laid before design details are finalized. The other phases come later in the project timeline (construction executes the plan, post-occupancy verifies performance, and design completion occurs after design) and would not be the point at which the initial plan is established.
