What was at stake.
The contractor schedule ended at substantial completion. Commissioning was shown as one bar per hall. The tenant's contract dates depended on integrated systems testing passing, and nobody could see how far along it was.
What we did.
Beck Franklin's role: commissioning-level scheduling. We advise and measure; the contractor builds.
Commissioning in P6
We broke commissioning into Levels 1 to 5 for every hall, with each test tied to the equipment and systems it needed.
Test readiness
A weekly readiness report showed which tests were ready, blocked or failed, and why.
Hall by hall
Each hall was reported as its own path to ready for service, so one hall could not hide inside a campus average.
Tenant reporting
The owner shared a summary with the tenant each month based on the same data.
What the team delivered.
A data hall earns nothing until it passes integrated testing. We scheduled to that line, not to the building finish.
