Keeping procurement on track for a national data center program

We joined the program in January 2020, supporting data center projects across the U.S.

Our work included:

• Preconstruction estimating and benchmarking
• GC selection and monthly pay app reviews
• Quantity surveying and project controls
• Design optioneering and carbon reduction strategies
• Business process mapping and supply chain integration
• Contract management
• Invoice validation
• Data analytics

Alongside technical delivery, we focused on integration. The client made it clear that cultural fit mattered. We aligned with their ways of working and built trust across every level of their organization.

“Over the past 18 months, Currie & Brown has been outstanding,” said the client. “They give us clear benchmark costs based on our master design and keep them up to date as the market and design change. Their cost dashboards help us compare data across projects, and we use them a lot when setting budgets and negotiating GMPs. These tools are now a key part of how we manage costs. Most of all, their team is open, easy to work with and always collaborative. I see them as a vital part of how we’re keeping up with rapid growth.”

Data center construction is fast-paced and fiercely competitive. Delays are costly. Budgets are tight. Our consistent approach to benchmarking and project controls helped reduce risk and improve delivery speed.

We also gave the client better tools. Custom dashboards and cost analytics supported stronger decisions at every stage.

These facilities support the continued rise of AI, virtual reality and the connected world. They keep people and businesses powered, productive and ready for what’s next. We helped make that future possible, with a calm, consistent and collaborative approach.
