ABOUT US
Providing best-in-class commissioning services for complex building types.
Adaptive Commissioning Solutions (ACS) is a truly independent, third-party commissioning with offices in North Texas and South Florida. We specialize in commissioning complex building types and focuses on healthcare, higher education, and mission critical markets with projects located in Texas, Florida, and several other states.
ACS emerged out of a desire to service clients with the freedom and agility to provide the best-in-class commissioning service and become the first call a client makes when a trusted advisor is needed. We work with the owner’s best interest at heart.
Adaptive Commissioning Solutions was born through the collective expertise of its three founders: Rodney Ashmore, Kevin Chow, and Michael Scott. All of them bring distinct and extensive experience from their time in the building design and construction industry.

– Adaptive Commissioning Solutions
Cx Scoping Meetings
ACS uses scoping meetings to ensure general contractors are informed of the commissioning activities being performed on the project, durations, and predecessors necessary to start the work. This step gives the construction team what they need in better inform a complete schedule.
Daily Huddle Support
We can provide support for daily huddles during functional performance testing. The day before testing, our team provides the construction team with what equipment will be tested and the related systems that are needing to be fully functional during that time period. This minimizes re-testing efforts that can come from trade partners planning shutdowns for systems while Cx is testing a connected item.
Pull Planning
We can participate in the construction team’s pull plan. Having commissioning involved in this process keeps the commissioning team informed of the inevitable schedule changes and the construction team aware of how those changes will affect the commissioning activities prior to the Cx team showing up onsite.
Proactive Team Integration
When integrated into the design and construction team, commissioning is no longer an afterthought. Communication flows more freely, conflict is minimized and the owner receives a better end product.
ACS LEADERSHIP TEAM
Adaptive Commissioning Solutions was formed by a group wanting to deliver quality service and create a work culture to foster people’s future and grow together.
