Building Services PASS (BSPASS) assessments are conducted through site inspections, desktop assessments and record checks against defined standards by the relevant Project Team (PT) members and Independent Teams (IT). The BSPASS is implemented on three types of building services (BS) installations, namely electrical, fire services and water pump, as well as lift and escalator installations. For these three installations, we have the same BSPASS Framework and adopt very similar Scoring Methodology for assessing the performance of individual contractors. BSPASS assessments comprise:
Project Team
A Project Team is composed of building services engineer and building services site staff, who are responsible for the supervision of the project and conducting the BSPASS assessment of their project.
Independent Teams
Independent Teams are dedicated teams composed of building services engineers and building services inspectors to conduct independent BSPASS assessments.
Works Assessment
Works Assessment measures the standard of works produced by the contractor during the construction stage. Assessments are conducted on site at quarterly intervals by both the Project Teams and Independent Teams.
Substantial Completion Assessment
The Substantial Completion Assessment measures the standard of works and system performance of the installation produced by the contractor at the substantial completion stage. The assessments are conducted on site by Independent Teams.
General Assessment
The General Assessment measures the contractor's standard of and effectiveness in site management, including management, organization, resources, progress, safety and environmental protection. Assessments are conducted at quarterly intervals by the Project Teams.
Assessment on Management, Resources and Documentation
The Assessment on Management, Resources and Documentation measures the contractor's management structure, resources, coordination, control and documentation.
Programme and Progress Assessments
The Programme Assessment is conducted mainly by referring to the adequacy (i.e. the comprehensiveness and updateness) of the Contractor's programme. The Progress performance is conducted by using two basic complementary "tools"(i.e. against the programme and against the milestone dates) to evaluate the actual progress achievement in the period under assessment in a more complete and wider perspective.
Safety and Environmental Protection Assessment
The Assessment on Safety and Environmental Protection measures the contractor's site management on the safety and environmental protection aspects.
Maintenance Period Assessment
The Maintenance Period Assessment (MPA) is used to assess the contractor's performance on a project during the Maintenance Period following certified completion. It measures the contractor's performance during the maintenance period, including the progress of completing outstanding works and rectification of defects, response to emergency repair, routine maintenance, etc. Assessments are conducted at quarterly intervals by the Project Teams.
