Zenith delivers comprehensive commissioning services through a collaborative, process-driven approach that aligns all project stakeholders throughout design, construction, occupancy, and the warranty phase. We partner with owners, the design team, contractors, and operators to coordinate, verify, and document each phase of the commissioning process. Our team manages commissioning planning, functional performance verification, documentation, issue tracking, and clear stakeholder communication to ensure building systems are properly tested, integrated, and operating in accordance with project requirements, design intent, and operational objectives. Our commissioning services include:

• New Construction Commissioning
• LEED Fundamental Commissioning
• LEED Enhanced Commissioning

CAN/ULC 1001 Integrated Systems Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems (“S1001”) is included in the BC Fire Code, BC Building Code, and National Building Code. Testing to meet the standard is required for occupancy, repeated at 1 year, and then at intervals not exceeding five years. Additionally, where modifications to the fire protection and life safety systems affect system integrations, integrated testing of the affected integrations is required.

Zenith is a ULC-certified S1001 Integrated Testing Provider for Integrated Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems – Complexity Level 4 (most complex) and provides Integrated Testing Coordinator services to meet S1001 requirements. We develop cause-and-effect matrices, prepare and manage the integrated testing plan, coordinate with project teams, review documentation requirements, lead the construction team through the testing plan, and prepare the required testing report. We do this for:

• Initial testing for occupancy
• 1-year testing
• Periodic testing

The Value We Deliver

Our goal isn’t simply to complete commissioning.

We manage the commissioning process so projects finish successfully. So our goal is to deliver buildings that operate reliably from day one while helping project teams reduce risk, protect schedules, and maximize the value of their investment. The result is:

• Better coordination among project teams
• Reduced risk and fewer project issues
• Improved system performance
• Better-performing buildings
• Greater confidence at handover
• Better documentation and knowledge transfer
• Improved equipment reliability and lifespan
• Energy savings and lower operational costs
• Improved occupant comfort and satisfaction
• Long-term operational success

We believe better buildings are created by better teams.

That’s why we invest as much in communication, collaboration, and trust as we do in technical excellence. Every project is an opportunity to raise the performance of both the building and the people delivering it.

This commitment reflects our mission of helping projects and people reach their highest potential through integrated, high-quality commissioning.

Zenith is comprised of commissioning specialists in mechanical, electrical, controls, and fire and life safety disciplines with experience in the commissioning and integrated testing of complex building systems and equipment.

We have over 70 years of commissioning experience in commissioning management in healthcare, institutional, industrial, laboratories, schools, mixed-use, residential, retail, commercial and government projects.

Whether you’re planning a new development or managing a complex construction project, Zenith Commissioning provides the leadership and expertise to help you deliver a building that performs as intended.
