Choose the right perspective
Match the person's level to your question: someone who managed individual builds day to day suits questions about contractors, schedules and commissioning, while a director or executive suits questions about site selection, portfolio planning and team structure. Also consider whether your project is a single facility or a multi-building campus, and pick someone whose roles match that scale.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you structure contracts and oversight with general contractors on a data center build?
- 02What most often delays a data center from being ready for its first customer, and how do you prevent it?
- 03How do you coordinate power, cooling and commissioning work so that each phase of a campus comes online on time?
