Design Audits
Core PMC offers a wide range of design audits for new or existing facilities to ensure that they comply with local and international standards.
Our audits interrogate the compliance of all MEP systems and sub-systems against current regulations, highlighting any areas that could enhance the operational performance, energy consumption, buildability and commissionability of the installation. Furthermore, in collaboration with design teams we are able to implement strategies for potential “phased handovers” by influencing the construction sequence to lend itself to the early onset of commissioning.
Our aim is to oversee the implementation of these changes to ensure a fit for purpose, code compliant installation for the end user.
