Hello experts,
i'm not sure about the independence of the CxA at enhanced commissioning for a projekt lager than 50,000 ft2.
Is the CxA allowed to be a member of a subsidiary firm of the builder-owner?
The CxA will not be involved in any design or construction tasks.
Thank you very much for your help.

It all depends on what you mean by "Owner/Builder". If the company is truly the owner of the building, then anyone that is qualified by experience to be a CxA from the owners organization or a subsidy can do the work.
However, if this is a design/build process, where the building will be immediately sold or leased to another user, then please read my post below. They have clarified that the CxA can be contracted through the builder, but cannot be from that company or be a subsidy.
