One line of business
323 Commissioning verifies that building systems do what the drawings and the sequences said they would. That is the whole firm. There is no design studio down the hall and no service division waiting to quote the fix — which is a business decision as much as an ethical one, because the moment either of those exists, every finding we write has a second reader inside our own office.
We hold no design contract
We are not the engineer of record on the buildings we commission, and we are not angling to be. When a sequence of operations does not do what the design intent says it does, we have no drawing of our own to defend.
We hold no installation contract
We do not sell, furnish, or install equipment, and we do not carry a controls contract. Correcting what we find never comes out of our own labor, our own material, or our own margin.
We work for whoever is paying for the building
Usually the owner, sometimes the construction manager acting for them. Either way the deficiency log goes to the person who has to live with the building, in the same form we wrote it.
Who you are hiring
Principal recordCommissioning is bought on the strength of the individual who shows up, not the firm on the proposal cover. At 323 those are the same thing, so there is one record here rather than an organisation chart.

I’m Brandt Elledge, founder of 323 Commissioning. For more than 20 years, I’ve worked in the construction industry, building my career from the field up. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to work with owners, engineers, contractors, and facility teams on projects ranging from commercial buildings and healthcare facilities to higher education and industrial applications.
Those years taught me one lesson that has shaped both my career and this company.
Details matter.
The small things that are often overlooked during construction are usually the same things that become expensive problems after a building is occupied. Commissioning gives me the opportunity to help identify those issues before they become someone else’s problem.
That’s why I started 323 Commissioning. Not to create another commissioning company, but to build one that values practical field experience, honest communication, and doing what is right, even when nobody is watching.
Experience and credentials
Numbers to supplyOver the past two decades I’ve worked in construction from the field to leadership. That experience gave me a practical understanding of how buildings come together, and how successful projects depend on communication, teamwork, and attention to detail. I bring that perspective to every commissioning project.

Built on purpose
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”
The name 323 Commissioning comes from Colossians 3:23. This verse is more than the inspiration behind my company’s name. It’s the standard I strive to live by.
To me it means doing the right thing when no one is watching. It means approaching every project with diligence, integrity, and humility, whether I’m walking a jobsite, writing a report, or helping solve a difficult problem. Excellence isn’t reserved for the moments when someone is paying attention. It’s a daily commitment.
My faith shapes how I conduct business, treat people, and approach every opportunity I’ve been given. While not everyone I work with shares my beliefs, I hope every client experiences the honesty, respect, and genuine desire to serve others that those beliefs produce.
At the end of the day, buildings matter because the people inside them matter, and I believe every project deserves my very best.
Beyond the jobsite
Not on the drawingOutside of work, my greatest blessings are my wife, Crystal, and our two children, Baus and Violet. They remind me every day that success isn’t measured only by projects completed or buildings turned over. It’s measured by the people we invest in, the relationships we build, and the example we leave behind.
Whether we’re spending time on our land, riding horses, traveling, laughing around the dinner table, or simply enjoying time together, those moments keep me grounded and remind me why integrity matters in every part of life.
Work hard. Laugh often.
I believe you should be able to enjoy working with the people you hire. Construction is stressful enough. A little humor, a positive attitude, and treating people with respect go a long way toward building lasting relationships. The best commissioning isn’t about finding fault — it’s about building trust, solving problems, and helping every member of the project team succeed.
Where we work
North Texas is home and the majority of the work is here. We take select projects outside the region as well. Nothing about the scope changes with the distance — the same tests, the same log, and the same document set at turnover.
