Data center construction scheduling

Data center construction scheduling, from groundbreaking to commissioning

Data center projects move fast, run many trades in parallel and end in a commissioning sequence that leaves no room for error. Plan104 was founded by a scheduler who has planned large data center and infrastructure projects, and we build schedules for that pace.

What makes data center schedules different

Hyperscale and colocation campuses combine aggressive delivery dates, long-lead electrical and mechanical equipment, phased buildings and halls, and integrated systems testing at the end. The schedule has to connect procurement, construction, energization and commissioning in one network, and it has to be updated often enough to keep pace with the site.

Phased baselines

Buildings, data halls and utility scope broken into phases with clear handoffs and milestones for each turnover.

Long-lead equipment

Generators, switchgear, UPS, transformers and cooling equipment tied to the installation and energization sequence.

Commissioning sequencing

Level 1 to level 5 commissioning activities planned as part of the CPM network, not as an afterthought.

Crew congestion control

Our platform flags when two activities need the same space at the same time, before crews run into each other.

Live site simulation for data center projects

With hundreds of people on site and thousands of activities in the schedule, a printed lookahead is not enough. Our construction operations platform plays the schedule as a simulation of the real site, hour by hour, with every crew and every name on the model, so supervisors see conflicts before the shift starts. Explore the platform.

Scheduling services for data centers

We provide baseline development, schedule updates, recovery schedules, lookahead planning and time impact analysis in Primavera P6 for general contractors, owners and specialty contractors on data center projects across the United States.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have data center scheduling experience?

Yes. Plan104 was founded by a CPM scheduler who has planned large-scale data center and infrastructure projects for major contractors and owners across North America.

Can you include commissioning in the schedule?

Yes. We plan commissioning levels, energization and integrated systems testing as part of the CPM network so turnover dates are realistic.

Do you support projects outside Colorado?

Yes. We support data center projects across the United States from our Denver office.

Can the platform be used without your scheduling services?

Yes. Teams can use the Plan104 construction operations platform on its own, our scheduling consulting on its own, or both together as a bundle.
