Flooring Commissioning is a quality-focused process that reduces the risk of flooring failure and warranty denial. Owner-hired, independent verification and documentation, from design through turnover, confirm that the flooring installation is compliant with specifications and manufacturers' requirements.
It reduces the risk of flooring failure and warranty denial.
Because installation instructions are not followed.
Something was done incorrectly during installation, or the Owner cannot prove it was done correctly.
The Owner. CertiFloor® has no contractual, employment, ownership, or financial relationship with the contractor, installer, distributor, or manufacturer on the project.
Before flooring submittals are approved. Requirements Alignment is the first activity, and conflicts are cheapest to fix before material is ordered.
Specification Section 01 91 23.73 goes in Division 01, and the Owner engages CertiFloor® directly.
No. CertiFloor® verifies and documents compliance by observation and Continuous Monitoring. It does not perform testing, approve or reject work, direct means and methods, or stop the Work.
New construction K-12, higher education, healthcare, and hospitality facilities.
All Division 09 flooring: resilient flooring, carpet, wood flooring, tile, terrazzo, and fluid-applied flooring. Division 03 sealed, painted, and polished concrete does not qualify for Flooring Commissioning.
Written notice from CertiFloor® that preinstallation verification is complete for an area and flooring type. Installation, including moisture mitigation, primer, patching, and leveling, does not begin until it is issued.
Unattended, automated recording of air temperature and relative humidity at fixed intervals, from material delivery through Substantial Completion. Sensors do not rely on building power or internet. Manual or spot readings do not count.
The Final Cx Report at Substantial Completion: findings and installation compliance, the Issues Log with resolution status, progress reports and photographs, Continuous Monitoring data, substrate test reports, and the manufacturer's post-installation requirements for continued warranty validity.
You don't get the floor you specify. You get the floor you verify.
