[ FACILITY PROJECTS · DESIGN → HANDOVER ]
Building or commissioning a facility.
A regulated facility is judged twice: once when it is handed over, and again every time an inspector walks it. This page puts SPEQ’s guidance in the order a project meets it, for owners, project teams, and the contractors who build what the owner will qualify.
[ STEP 01 · FRAME THE PROJECT ]
What are we building, and which regulations will the finished facility answer to?
[ STEP 02 · SPECIFY AND DESIGN ]
What must the facility and its systems do, and how will we show the design meets it?
[ STEP 03 · BUILD AND TURN OVER ]
What does the contractor hand over, and will it stand up as qualification evidence?
[ STEP 04 · COMMISSION ]
Does every system work as designed, before anyone tries to qualify it?
[ STEP 05 · QUALIFY ]
Can we demonstrate the facility, utilities and equipment are fit for their intended use?
[ STEP 06 · VALIDATE AND HAND OVER ]
Is the process reproducible at commercial scale, and is the organisation ready to run it?
Building it, not running it?
General contractors, MEP and EPCM teams do not hold the GMP licence, but what they hand over becomes the owner’s evidence. Read what the regulations ask of the building, its equipment and its documents before turnover.
