Hi, I have read through the comments and understand the requirements for the Enhanced Commissioner to be a 'disinterested' or 'independent' body. However, I am experiencing a grey area on the project I am working on. The project already has an Independent 3rd party reviewer for MEP during design. Can the role of this 3rd party reviewer be extended to include enhanced commissioning responsibilities (assuming they meet other obligations, such as experience, etc)? The Independent 3rd party reviewer is contracted through the design firm (i.e. my company) and currently reports to us. This can be changed so that they report to the client directly. Many thanks in advance for your thoughts. Lesley

Lesley, I don't see any reason why your reviewer can't also perform Cx. Do you? You can reference the other requirements in the DD section of the Checklists tab above on LEEDuser. Sounds like they meet the requirements.

I agree with Tristan. As long as they meet the other requirements, then they would be the logical CxA. They can be contracted through the design team as long as they have first reporting responsibility to the Owner.
