Introduction to Building Commissioning

Building commissioning is one of the best risk management strategies in the construction industry — because regardless of whether a facility is new construction or under renovation, nothing is more important than the constructability, functionality, and maintainability of a space.

A client-focused, solutions-driven approach to commissioning is one of our team’s greatest strengths at Henderson Building Solutions. We bring value by helping to resolve issues, foster collaboration, and drive projects to completion. Whether we’re acting as an extension of facility staff or training existing personnel on system integrations and maintenance procedures, we bridge the gap between design intent and construction. Whether a building is brand new, looking for a simple upgrade, or has seen better days and needs a full renovation, we can help. In fact, we’re known in the industry for helping solve tough building challenges that no one else can.
