ITB coordination
Multidisciplinary coordination of HVAC, electrical and building automation — so the building actually performs as designed at handover.
ITB — integrated technical building installations — is about ensuring that the disciplines coordinate and that the final delivery is tested as an integrated whole, not as isolated handovers.
Our role
- Coordination between RIV, RIE and RIA throughout the project
- Clarify interfaces where responsibility is traditionally unclear
- Checklists and documentation requirements per discipline and milestone
- Test plans: component test, integration test and full system test
- Commissioning, functional testing and documented handover
Phases
- Early phase: requirement setting and cross-discipline descriptions
- Detailed design: coordination of drawings and functional specifications
- Construction: follow-up of disciplines, inspection of suppliers' applications
- Commissioning: testing, tuning and functional documentation
- Handover: documented protocol, follow-up during the operational phase
What it prevents
- Systems that are correctly designed but not installed as a coherent whole
- Faults that only appear during the operational phase and become expensive to fix
- Conflicts between contractors over who owns which interfaces
We can act as the ITB lead for the client or as a neutral coordinator for the main contractor. The goal is the same: documented, functioning systems from day one.
