How data centres flip the cost hierarchy
Data centre construction is dominated by power, cooling, resilience and operational systems costs rather than the building structure itself. This flips the typical commercial construction cost hierarchy.
Why it matters: Electricians and HVAC technicians are likely to see stronger demand and higher-value contracts on data centre projects as these systems dominate budgets.
How data centres flip the cost hierarchy
Data centre construction is driven primarily by power, cooling, resilience and operational systems rather than the building structure itself. This shifts where costs and priorities sit compared to standard commercial builds.
Why it matters: Electricians and HVAC trades are central to data centre projects, which demand complex power and cooling systems. This changes scope, sequencing and contract value compared to typical commercial work.
