Buildings can be designed perfectly, but the real world is a different story. We understand that things change before, during, and after design. Whether your site conditions change, equipment changes, or usage changes, we can perform full quality assurance and functional testing on all equipment and controls systems to ensure your building design intent and efficiency stays the same.
Buildings are complex organisms made up of thousands of moving parts which need to operate in sync to perform effectively and efficiently. With a full line of commissioning services to ensure your building, and money, is operating efficiently contact Rae McLean & Associates to hear more about how we can help you.
Building systems are complex in nature and require a liaison between the engineering design team and the contractors on site.

We offer full construction administration services for our projects which include: shop drawing reviews, site progress reviews, progress claim reviews, change notice reviews, and on-site meeting consultations. Our business doesn't end at design, allow us to help oversee all projects through to completion.
