The Fulcrum Group's services are based on our technical proficiencies and ability to understand the capital, performance, and aesthetic demands on an institution's project management and operations groups. Our portfolio of project experience covers a wide range of both building types and market segments, each with its unique set of challenges and objectives. Fulcrum's core services build on this extensive experience and can be successfully applied to virtually any client or project. Below are just some of our most typical services, but please feel free to contact us to understand how the Fulcrum Advantage can be put to use for you.
Building Commissioning
Since the leadership of Fulcrum helped pioneer the concept of building commissioning more than a quarter century ago, we have continued to embrace Comprehensive Commissioning Services as a strategic tool deployed to help achieve one overarching goal — the efficient operation of a building that effectively fulfills its mission. As other parties have entered this field we have seen a precarious shift from this vision to an approach that is too often more focused on documenting its process than on generating results. Today, Fulcrum is proud that our approach to Comprehensive Commissioning Services is still focused on the destination and not on the path.
What You Can Expect of a Fulcrum Building Commissioning Team

- Advocates of a teamwork approach that fosters collaboration amongst the design teams, construction teams, owner and operators;
- Assurance that the integrity of the design intent is maintained throughout construction; and peace of mind that the occupant expectations for turnover, efficiency, performance and quality will be realized;
- Confidence that equipment will be maintainable and able to perform at their designed capacity for their life-cycle; and
- Trust that systems will operate at their optimum efficiencies minimizing annual operating costs.
What You Will Not Get From a Fulcrum Building Commissioning Team
- Documentation of obstacles without advice for solutions;
- Documentation documenting documentation;
- Reports that have more value in the recycle bin than they do in your scheduling plans;
- Reports of deficiencies that are presented after the window for corrective action has passed;
- Talk when you need to walk.
