In the Construction Phase, which outcome reflects verification of system and assembly performance?

• A. Increases accountability in submittal process, leading to higher-quality installation
• B. Verifies training completion
• C. Documents verification of system and assembly performance
• D. Includes formal functional testing at completion

Answer: (C)

During the Construction Phase, the emphasis is on confirming that what was installed actually operates as intended and meets the design criteria, and then capturing that confirmation in a formal record. Documenting verification of system and assembly performance creates a traceable record showing the performance results, the tests conducted, and the criteria met, which supports owner acceptance and future operations. This verification might involve functional checks, measurements, and test data that demonstrate the systems perform correctly under defined conditions. While submittal QA, training, and testing activities are important, the most fitting outcome here is the formal documentation that proves the system and assemblies have been verified to meet the performance requirements.
