Most project reviews focus on what happened during construction.
But the biggest cost drivers often originate much earlier, through decisions around rack density, procurement sequencing, design maturity, and utility connections.
In Episode 3 of our Data Center Beyond The Rack series, Yoan Guyon, Managing Director at gbc engineers, examines six common reasons data center construction projects exceed their budgets and explains why successful projects prioritize planning as much as ex*****on
Inside the article:
โ
Six root causes behind data center budget overruns
