Building Training and Commissioning

As construction nears completion, Congress readies your key personnel to take over daily use, operations and maintenance of your facility with thorough training on all major building systems.

Early in our Pre-Construction Strategy process, our construction professionals address exactly the types of systemsour clients require, how they will use each system, and develop training and orientation in step with those needs. During construction our client is trained to use and maintain those elements accordingly. Congress‘ team conducts detailed testing and inspections on each component and system, providing absolute certainty that each one functions as intended.

To smooth the transition into ownership and daily operations, we invite your operational and maintenance staff to hands-on training sessions of each building system with operating and maintenance manuals which are also videotaped for your staff's future reference.
