Mission-critical construction packages
Data Center Construction Estimating
A data center estimate separates building, electrical and cooling packages. Show who supplies major equipment and account for power distribution, cooling interfaces and commissioning scope in the responsible package.
Data center bids can mix owner-procured equipment, contractor installation and separately scoped commissioning. We organize electrical, mechanical and building packages so those interfaces can be reviewed before comparing vendor proposals.
Check phasing and connection boundaries for active facilities.
What the scope can include
- Electrical distribution and backup systems
- Cooling equipment and piping
- White-space and support spaces
- Equipment procurement and commissioning
What to send with your plans
Send one-lines, equipment schedules, cooling diagrams, phasing requirements and the owner-furnished equipment matrix.
Frequently asked questions
How is future expansion treated?
Separate the initial build from future capacity, and identify enabling work such as spare conduits or equipment pads in the current scope.
Can the estimate distinguish phases or suites?
Yes. Break out quantities and equipment by the phase or suite established in the documents and identify common infrastructure that serves multiple areas.
