Commissioning
At WP3, we deliver commissioning management built on clarity, control and proven technical expertise.
Using leading digital platforms such as Facility Grid and CxAlloy, we give clients and contractors real-time visibility of commissioning progress, inspections and documentation—all through fully integrated, centralised reporting.
Our team combines deep design and delivery experience.
With ASHRAE, CIBSE and BSRIA best practice, acting as both Commissioning Manager (CxM) for contractors and Commissioning Authority (CxA) for clients. This blend of skills allows us to de-risk complex projects and consistently deliver reliable, high-quality outcomes across the UK, EMEA and Europe.
