NC-v4 EAc1:Enhanced commissioning

Envelope CxA within the engineering company part of design team?

Hello,

We want to use a building envelope CxA that is an employee of the same firm that is responsible for the engineering of the building. The project is a design build and we are following the 10244 interpretation. The enhanced CxA will not be a member of the design team as required by the interpretation. The building comissioning agent will report directly to the enhanced comisionning angent. However, I am wondering if the CxA agent would then be considered "independant" or if someone from an external firm would have to do the envelope comissionning?

Thank you

The interpretation 10244 does not release a project from the requirement for an independent firm for enhanced. It only allows the contract to go through the contractor with specific requirements and conditions. The independence for enhanced is always a different firm.
