Who coordinates the commissioning process through the commissioning plan, commissioning meeting, and schedule?

• A. The Owner
• B. The CxA
• C. The General Contractor
• D. The TAB Agency

Answer: (B)

The commissioning authority leads the entire commissioning process by driving the plan, running the commissioning meetings, and managing the schedule. They create the commissioning plan, which lays out the scope, required tests, responsibilities, and deliverables, so everyone knows what must be verified and when. They chair the commissioning meeting, bringing together the owner, design team, and contractors to review progress, resolve open issues, and confirm readiness of systems for testing. They also shepherd the schedule, coordinating test dates, retests, and handover milestones to ensure the work progresses in a logical sequence and aligns with the project timeline. The owner defines project requirements and approves outcomes, and the general contractor and TAB agency perform their roles within that framework, but the overall coordination across plan, meetings, and schedule rests with the commissioning authority.
