Who attends meetings related to Cx activities in the Pre-Design Phase?

• A. Project Manager
• B. Architect
• C. Contractor
• D. CxA

Answer: (D)

In the Pre-Design phase, the commissioning process is set up and the person responsible for guiding those activities leads the related meetings. The CxA (Certified Commissioning Authority) is the one who attends and chairs meetings to establish the commissioning plan, define acceptance criteria, and align the project’s requirements with how it will be tested and verified later. This early involvement ensures the Owner’s Project Requirements and the design intent are understood and incorporated from the start, setting up a clear path for verification and performance testing as the project progresses. While other roles like the Project Manager, Architect, and Contractor may participate in these discussions, the meetings specifically focused on Cx activities are led by the CxA to ensure commissioning stays integrated throughout design.
