Typical situation no. 64
An industrial group wants to build its own 8 MW data center for its needs and a few customers. Its real estate team knows building projects but has never built a data center. Management wants to tender for design firms within two months.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- Without a precise brief, design firm bids will not be comparable.
- Redundancy and cooling choices weigh heavily on cost and future operations.
- Long-lead equipment must be anticipated even before detailed design.
WHAT WE DO
- Writing the brief: capacity, phasing, redundancy, cooling, operations.
- Preparation and management of the design firm tender.
- Bid analysis and selection support.
- Early procurement plan for long-lead equipment.
WHAT YOU GET
- A clear brief shared by management and future operators.
- Comparable bids and a reasoned choice.
- A schedule that accounts for equipment lead times.
Typical format: Owner-side assignment, six to ten weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
