Data Center Construction in Frisco, TX

Mission critical data center shells and support facilities for the growing DFW tech corridor.

Data center construction in North Texas has accelerated dramatically as the DFW area becomes a major hub for computing infrastructure. These facilities require construction approaches that differ significantly from standard industrial buildings. Power density, cooling infrastructure, security requirements, and operational reliability all drive specialized design and construction methods.

The structural requirements for data centers exceed typical warehouse construction. Floor loading for computing equipment, ceiling heights for cable management, and structural provisions for rooftop mechanical equipment all require enhanced building systems. We construct data center shells and support buildings designed for these demanding requirements.

Site infrastructure for data centers includes substantial electrical service, backup power systems, and cooling water or air handling capabilities. Underground infrastructure, transformer pads, and generator foundations all require precise construction to support facility operations. We coordinate with electrical and mechanical contractors to ensure infrastructure construction meets operational requirements.

Security and reliability considerations influence construction methods and sequencing. Data centers often require construction phasing that allows portions of facilities to become operational while expansion continues. We develop construction approaches that support these operational requirements while maintaining construction productivity.

Scope Typically Includes

  • Building shell construction with enhanced structural capacity
  • Site infrastructure for power and cooling systems
  • Generator pad and transformer yard construction
  • Security perimeter and access control infrastructure
  • Raised floor preparation where specified
  • Fire protection systems
  • Site work and paving
  • Coordination with critical systems contractors

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of data center projects do you construct?
We construct data center shells, support buildings, and site infrastructure. This includes hyperscale campus development, enterprise data centers, and colocation facilities throughout the DFW area.
How do you address the power and cooling infrastructure requirements?
We coordinate with electrical and mechanical engineers during preconstruction to understand infrastructure requirements. Site work includes provisions for electrical service, generator installations, and cooling systems based on facility design.
What construction schedule should data center developers expect?
Data center shells typically require 10-14 months from groundbreaking depending on size and complexity. Fast-track approaches can compress schedules where project requirements demand accelerated delivery.
How do you handle phased construction for expanding data center campuses?
Phased construction requires careful planning to avoid disruption to operational facilities. We develop construction sequences that maintain security perimeters, avoid utility interruptions, and minimize noise and vibration impacts.
