Who is responsible for Post-Acceptance Phase Document Control?

• A. CxA
• B. Internal Team
• C. Shared
• D. CxT

Answer: (B)

Post-acceptance document control is owned by the internal team—the facility’s operations and maintenance group. Once turnover is complete and the project is accepted, the people who will operate and maintain the building must manage ongoing documentation. This includes keeping O&M manuals, as-built drawings, warranties, and test and commissioning records up to date, controlling versions, and ensuring the right team members have access. The commissioning authority’s role is to verify and compile the turnover package during the project, but the responsibility for maintaining and updating these records over the life of the facility rests with the internal team. The on-site technician or other roles may support tasks, but long-term governance and accountability lie with the internal team to ensure information stays accurate and usable for ongoing operations and future changes.
