Data centres
Hyperscale deadlines, with the conformance to match.
Data centre builds run to immovable hyperscaler deadlines, with brutal mechanical and electrical coordination and a commissioning load few other jobs carry. Outpost holds the program, the trades and the conformance on one record, so the build keeps pace and the evidence keeps up.
Where it leaks
The cost and the compliance leak in the gap.
Outpost holds civil, structural, electrical and mechanical on one record, so the coordination errors that drive rework are caught before they compound.
The deadline does not move
Hyperscaler handover dates are fixed, and slippage tends to surface only when it is already too late.
Coordination is brutal
Civil, structural, electrical and mechanical interfaces are run across tools that never reconcile.
Commissioning chaos
The commissioning and conformance evidence sits apart from the build it certifies.
On data centres
What runs on the record.
Program and forecast
A live program with a rolling forecast against the handover date and critical-path alerts.
Trades on one record
Civil, structural, electrical and mechanical progress and cost against the priced record.
Commissioning records
Captured to the asset and carried into the handover the operator requires.
Conformance trail
Inspection test plans, hold points and tests held against the work they prove.
Built for the program pressure and commissioning load of hyperscale data centre delivery.
