Where Precision Engineering Meets Expert Execution

Davies Engineering Group offers a full range of construction services, providing the right level of support, involvement, or leadership to best suit your project’s unique needs. From administration, to management, to commissioning, we’re happy to discuss the best partnership approach for your project.

Construction Administration (CA)

Proper Construction Administration (CA) is critical to the safe and successful completion of any project. DEG’s Construction Administration service manages tasks like contractor compliance to engineer specifications, submittal reviews, verification of materials and conditions, and more—all to protect the integrity of the project, and the safety of all parties and the general public.

An example of our CA services:

Receive, track, and respond to RFIs
Conduct or attend construction meetings
Review project schedules, schedule of values, submittals, pay applications, and other documents and contracts
Conduct site inspections and produce reports identifying any work not in conformance
Provide necessary assistance in reviewing contractor change order requests
Produce, review, and back check punch list(s)
Review contractor as-built documents and produce final record drawings
Assist in collecting and reviewing O&M materials, warranty materials, and other closeout documents
Provide warranty period support and coordination with contractors and vendors as contracted

Construction Management (CM)

Davies Engineering Group can provide staffing for Construction Management (CM) on our project designs, whether you have a small- or large-scale project need. Our group of experts can help you scope, schedule, and budget for any engagement.

An example of projects using DEG’s CM:

24-hour coverage chiller replacement, over the course of one weekend
Production plant expansion, over the course of several years

Engineer-Led Commissioning (CX)

For a more hands-on engagement, Davies offers Engineer-Led Commissioning (CX), which is typically managed by a registered professional engineer with both design and commissioning experience. While the level of commissioning can vary significantly from project to project, DEG specializes in tasks such as “hands-on” start-up and functional testing of complex systems, including controls, as well as commissioning for USGBC LEED® projects.

The following are steps included in the comprehensive process:

Develop pre-design and design outlines and documents incorporating the system operation intent desired by the customer. Include systems commissioning procedures in the Technical Specifications. Specify what systems will be tested and verified, how, and by whom.
Develop systems design objectives to meet the specific requirements for design and testing of the systems.
Provide third-party peer review at various points during the design process. The target of this review process is the following:
- Implementation of DID and OPR documents
- Identify constructability issues and design flaws
- Improve the sequence of operations
- Equipment selection review
- Document completeness checks
Provide installation, pre-startup, and startup checklists with ease, thanks to our powerful, flexible database which optimizes sorting flexibility and report generation.
Review the operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals to ensure completeness and coordinate training.
Either perform the systems commissioning or observe contractors performing it per the commissioning procedures outlined in the specifications. Verify systems operate as intended in the design documents. For projects with multiple phases, provide commissioning services to allow the customer to meet target move-in dates with commissioned systems.
Provide a project action item list that identifies equipment and system deficiencies and help drive the project team to a solution and resolution.
Follow-up on the action item list to verify completeness and re-functional test where required.
Provide seasonal and differed functional testing.
