The Owner dragged his feet and did not bring a Commissioning Agent on board until after the construction documents were complete, and construction started. Would the project still have a path for earning the Enhanced Commissioning credit?

Boy, if you read too many of my replies, you would really think I am a negative person! This question comes up a lot…a lot. In general I think the answer is probably not. Early in the program, and mostly under 2.2, we had a few projects that we were able to “catch up” and get the credit, and there were changes made by contract due to our peer review of the CDs. At this point we have no v09 projects that have even asked to go this route. In any case, we were always quite clear there was no guarantee that GBCI would award the credit, but there was value in the work regardless.
Personally I do not think you would get the credit if you started at this point.
