Data Center Construction

A data centre brings together many trades. As general contractor, we coordinate the delivery of the building and technical infrastructure through to commissioning with documented load and functional tests – with clear interfaces, documented quality and future operations in mind.

General Contractor for Sustainable Data Center Construction

Our experience gained through demanding data centre projects informs the turnkey delivery of your construction project. We place great emphasis on professional execution and meeting the agreed schedule for your new data centre, server room or IT office building. Benefit from 25 years of experience in IT and IT infrastructure.

Our experienced, interdisciplinary team delivers a tested, ready-to-operate turnkey data centre. From the design stage, we consider your requirements, site conditions and intended assessments, such as ISO 22237 or ISO 27001, Blue Angel or Uptime.

We provide a specialized focus on the use of the latest planning methods such as Building Information Modeling and the creation of a digital twin for your new data center, as well as sustainable construction processes.

Environmentally Friendly Design and Sustainable Construction

Data centre design affects material use, energy demand and future adaptability. We therefore consider the building, IT infrastructure and operations together.

Materials, manufacture, transport and construction activities affect environmental performance as well as operations. Coordinated design accounts for technical interfaces and can reduce avoidable dismantling. Project-specific environmental assessments need a clear scope and traceable data.

We select materials against technical requirements, availability and documented properties. Recycled and renewable materials are considered where they fit the protection and use concept.

Sustainable Planning and Organization

Modular prefabrication and coordinated planning can simplify construction and reduce avoidable rework. We coordinate specialist trades, logistics and suppliers around agreed milestones and future operations.

We assess circularity against specific products and material evidence: which components can be maintained, replaced, reused or recycled? This does not imply that every material is harmless or that the entire project is certified under a circularity standard.

Environmental, economic and social aspects are assessed within the agreed project scope. If a building certification system is intended, we define criteria, responsibilities and evidence in advance.

Standards such as ISO 15392 can guide assessment of sustainability in buildings. The specific project requirements and applicable rules remain decisive.

General Contractor or Management Contractor

The High Knowledge team is available to you both as a general contractor and as a management contractor. If you would like to involve existing local partners and suppliers in your new construction project, we can also take this into account. We will always find the right solution for your project.
