| Commissioning & Turnover | The commissioning & turnover phase of a civil construction project is the final stage of the project and involves testing and verifying that all systems and components are working correctly and as per the design intent |
| Commissioning – Key Activities 1) System testing | All systems and components of the project, such as electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC, are tested to ensure that they are functioning correctly |
| Commissioning – Key Activities 2) Performance testing | Performance testing is carried out to ensure that the project is meeting its design criteria and specifications, including energy efficiency and environmental performance |
| Commissioning – Key Activities 3) Operational readiness | Operational readiness tests are carried out to ensure that the project is ready for occupancy and meets all safety and regulatory requirements |

| Circular Economy 1) | Circular economy in construction refers to an economic system where resources are kept in use for as long as possible, waste is minimized, and materials are reused or recycled at the end of their life |
| Circular Economy 2) | This approach contrasts with the traditional "take-make-dispose" linear model of resource consumption, where resources are extracted, used to create products, and then discarded as waste |
| Circular Economy in Construction 1): In the context of construction, the circular economy involves designing buildings and infrastructure that can be easily disassembled and reused or recycled at the end... | of their life. This may involve using materials that are easier to recycle, such as timber or steel, or designing buildings that can be easily deconstructed and their materials repurposed |
| Circular Economy in Construction 2): | Other strategies for implementing a circular economy in construction include reducing waste during construction by using prefabricated elements, reusing existing buildings or materials, and using materials that have a low environmental impact |
| Circular Economy in Construction 3): The circular economy in construction has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry, which is a significant contributor to... | greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption. It can also provide economic benefits by creating new business opportunities in the recycling and repurposing of materials |
