Common use of the term ‘commissioning’, refers to the process of qualifying design intent in the construction. Monica Mathis-Mack starts the interview by telling us more about the company’s commissioning programmes and something of their background in this vein. “Not many people in the commissioning industry realise, this term is a naval coined term, referring to the study, testing, training and qualifying of new military technology and the organised and systematic process in which this vetting is completed. “Our commissioning programmes provide the added value of positive construction team building, job safety, proactive/progressive problem solving to bring the customer the best quality service. We like to build re- lationships with the client to understand the nuances, and consideration that are important to them. We want to know the expectation of clients, so we can set the standard. “We founded this company about 4 years ago, so we’re still new to the in- dustry. However, I have over 10 years of direct commissioning experience across industries and have worked for military, government, healthcare, mission critical, industrial and commercial organisations.” In terms of what sets M3T Cx Authorities LLC apart from other compa- nies in the industry, this can be summed up by the following points: • Their primary business and central focus is 3rd party commission- ing. It is their mission to provide their clients with dutiful attention, exemplary expertise and the best possible end-results. • The company has over 10 years of experience in the testing and commissioning field, with formal accredited engineering and US Navy military-trained commissioning education. • They specialise in the total building commissioning of highly techni- cal, complex and specialty facilities. • They understand the nuisances of healthcare, laboratory, industrial (oil and gas) and mission critical commissioning projects. • They provide risk management to clients through concise docu- mentation of job site conditions, clear communication of construc- tion progress and design functionality and systematic reporting of compliance of project goals. Monica explains her positive thoughts on the company winning the 2017 US Small Business Awards - Best Small Business in Texas category and some of the wider industry issues. “We are truly appreciative and excited just to be considered. It’s a wonderful feeling to be recognised for doing something you love. I am excited about the exposure this award gives us for the wider industry. However, we will use this opportunity to attract additional clientele, grow the firm’s relationships with great existing clients, educate on the benefits of this services, as well as, develop our growing business internally. “In terms of wider industry challenges, I believe that our biggest market in- hibitor is lack of familiarity and education about the commissioning industry in general. Features like this help to create awareness and highlight the need for commissioning in construction to aid in risk management, to prove functionality of design, to test operations of installations and to confirm integration within an infrastructure in the design and construction industry. “M3T works hard to educate on the principles of building commissioning and how the industry can be used to help protect commercial real estate investment. We also teach clients about the commissioning process specific to the jobsite.” The Benefits of Commissioning M3T Cx Authorities LLC provides commissioning excellence, by developing custom-tailored, customer- oriented commissioning (Cx) programmes, with the added value of construction team building, job safety, proactive and progressive problem solving to bring the customer the best possible quality service.
