Management | Construction and QAR Services

TDX Power Services (TDX) approach to Owner Representation Construction Management and Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) services, is a “start-to-finish” dedicated single-point of contact with the Owner, for the purposes of managing schedule continuity, institutional history, and effective project completion. We provide the “checks and balance” between the Owner, the Prime Contractor; and, the Design Engineer. Our managers have 18 to 20 years of working experience as a minimum; and, understand the “design/build” philosophy approach.

Our Construction & Program Management is tailored to the specific needs of the Owner and/or the Project, following established guidelines for Owner Representation Construction Management methods https://www.cmaanet.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/Owners%20Guide.pdf. Some of the many challenges that are facing Owners who are implementing hydropower and in-water construction projects can include:

Through direct participation with the Owner’s “decision making process”, TDX construction managers provide expertise, counsel and recommendations regarding:

• The effective use of available or remaining funds/budget to complete a specific task, or entire project scope,
• Provide recommendations (based on industry experience) for “means or method approach” for effective delivery and completion of a specific task or phase on the project,
• Optimal or alternative scheduling option(s) for conflicting logistics, long lead times (port-to-port delivery), seasonal constraints, labor issues, etc.
• Strategies to avoid schedule delays, scope creep, change of conditions, or claims,
• Alternative contracting or procurement options for time sensitive products, equipment, machinery, vendor selection, self-performance, etc.
• Constructability review(s); and, value-added engineering support & assistance on the discovery of bad ground, force majeure, or other unforeseen conditions not anticipated by either the Owner and/or the Design Engineer.

As part of our process, TDX’s construction management team completes the administrative tasks of the construction project. By delegating these day-to-day tasks to the TDX construction team, it allows the Owner to concentrate on the much “larger duty” of effectively managing the entire project (and the related politics). These day-to-day tasks include:
