Data Center & Manufacturing Construction Estimating in Georgia
Estimates for data centers, manufacturing plants, EV and battery supplier facilities, and process buildings across Georgia — for design-builders, GCs, developers and owners.
What drives the cost of a data center or manufacturing plant?
These facilities are driven by power, cooling and process systems more than by the building shell. Data centers are often budgeted per megawatt of IT capacity because electrical (switchgear, UPS, generators) and mechanical cooling make up the majority of cost. Manufacturing plants depend on process piping, utilities, foundations for equipment, cranes and specialized floors.
Overview
Complex Facilities, Clear Numbers
Metro Atlanta has become one of the country’s fastest-growing data center markets, and Georgia continues to attract major manufacturing investment. We estimate the building shell, sitework and infrastructure in detail, with equipment and process allowances clearly defined.
