The _____ _____ is implemented during the construction phase.

• A. Commissioning plan
• B. Construction plan
• C. Testing protocol
• D. Handover checklist

Answer: (A)

The commissioning plan is the document that guides how building systems will be tested, verified, and handed over, so it is put into action as construction progresses. It lays out the sequence of installation, functional tests, responsibilities, schedules, data collection, and acceptance criteria, ensuring that commissioning activities can start as systems are installed and any issues are resolved before occupancy. The broader construction plan covers general construction activities and logistics, not the specific verification and performance testing of building systems. The testing protocol describes how tests are performed, which is a part of the commissioning work but not the overarching plan that is actively implemented throughout construction. The handover checklist is used later in the process to confirm completion for occupancy, not during the construction phase.
