Who is responsible for developing the Cx scope during the Pre-Design Phase?

• A. Project Manager
• B. Architect
• C. CxA
• D. Contractor

Answer: (C)

During Pre-Design, the commissioning process starts by defining what will be tested and verified to meet the owner's requirements. The Cx scope specifies which systems and components are subject to verification, the performance and acceptance criteria, and the tests and data needed to prove it. The Commissioning Authority leads this effort, translating the owner's requirements into a commissioning plan and identifying the verification activities early so design decisions can support successful commissioning. This ensures the design team knows what to deliver and the contractor knows what will be inspected. While the project manager coordinates the overall workflow, the architect focuses on design, and the contractor implements, the responsibility to develop the commissioning scope in this phase rests with the Commissioning Authority.
