Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

dear Sir,

a.TESTING & COMMISSIONING is rquired for all the system listed above i.e u have to connect all the systems above with an activity name "TESTING & COMMISSIONING" at the end.
b. Depends on the built up area of the building , nos of flooors how much resources u have and all .
c. It can start after the set up for the system has been completed personally i prefer this activity at the end of completion of the set up.
d. Power distribution is needed for all the listed systems.
for a copy of my project u can mail me deb.icd@tajnet.com
i may be late to reply as will move out on vacation
regards
deb
