BMS Advisory · Defects liability period
Commission your BMS properly. After the warranty year, it's too late.
Your building management system has just been handed over. Everything seems to work — but nothing has really been tested. And every week of warranty that passes is one less recourse.

Month 8 of 123 open defects
The problem
A poorly commissioned BMS stays a problem for 10 years.
10 yrs
of drift, discomfort and overconsumption — for lack of testing in time.
Why it happens
Few defects raised at handover
Limited or theoretical testing
Building still barely occupied
Faults stay invisible
What it produces
Control drift
Growing discomfort
Lasting overconsumption
Dependence on the maintenance contractor
And above all: once the warranty year is over, no recourse left.
Our approach
Test, verify, document — before the warranty year ends.
01
Technical verification
As-built docs vs. field reality vs. BMS views
Key BACS decree requirements & control logic
Interoperability checks
02
Data & metering
Sub-metering: faults, consistency, usability
Gaps between raw data and reporting tools
03
In-operation testing
Scenarios: occupancy, comfort, time schedules
Automated tests every Monday to catch deviations
Defect reports + fixes prioritized within the warranty year
