Even though it is likely that key team members (i.e. CM, A/E, CxA) will not be on
board at this stage of the project, completion of a project specific roles & responsi-

for commissioning. This initial roles & responsibilities matrix will be updated and
confirmed during the design and construction stages once these team members
are contracted.
The following definitions apply to the Roles & Responsibilities Matrix:
Lead (L) = Direct and take overall responsibility for accomplishment
Support (S) = Provide assistance

Participate (P) = Take part in the activity (i.e. attend the meeting, etc.)

Verify (V) = Confirm the accuracy or completeness of the task
