Construction Department

The Construction team is responsible for the entire process flow of delivering the physical data centers from shovel ready state through commissioning, working with Sales, Operations, and management along the way.  Construction implements and executes upon the work product developed by the Development & Engineering (D&E) team.  The team also manages Vantage’s build partners to success through technical feedback and review, and actively participating in review of schedule and budget.  Many times, a role like this at other companies is purely oversight.  One thing that distinguishes Vantage is that our construction teams are given the responsibility and authority to directly drive the process.  When compared to external resources, our internal team can ensure the key stakeholders are engaged in the decision-making process to align long-term operational sustainability with value engineering and cost metrics to deliver products aligned with corporate goals.  This approach empowers each member of the team to drive high- impact decisions and even more impactful results.
