Owner's-side leadership from site selection through commissioning.
Delivery teams change from one phase to the next. We stay with the owner through every handoff and plan each phase around when power will be available.
What a thin owner's team costs.
Weak planning and unclear ownership consume capital long before a project is visibly in trouble. Our job is to keep the approved plan and the field in step, and to say so early when they drift.
PMI puts the capital lost to poor planning and execution at 9–11%. CII reports that 70% of capital projects miss cost or schedule targets by 10% or more.

Case studies of PMC-led programs report schedules about 20% shorter than programs without an owner's-side team.
Case studies of owner-backed, PMC-led planning report about 25% higher productivity and about 10% lower cost.
Our team brings more than 85 combined years of experience in data center deployments totaling over $75 billion.
Site selection & due diligence
Site selection commits far more than the cost of land. Power availability, interconnection timing, permitting, water, and fiber all decide when a campus can operate. We lead the owner's diligence with power first and quantify the development risk on every shortlisted site.
A site you can finance, with power timing and development risk quantified before you commit.
Design & engineering oversight
The design has to match the power that will be available and the capacity the owner has actually sold. We govern the owner's requirements and basis of design, then test every major decision against cost, schedule, and lifecycle.
A design sized to the power you will have and the capacity you have sold.
Procurement, fabrication & contracts oversight
Long-lead power equipment now sets the schedule for most campuses. We shape the procurement strategy early, qualify the vendors, and track fabrication and logistics against the required-on-job dates in the owner's schedule.
Long-lead power equipment ordered in time, with alternate sources identified for the riskiest packages.
Construction oversight
The owner's leverage changes once construction starts. We govern the EPC or GC against the baseline, manage the interfaces between power, building, and IT, and review every change for cause, price, and entitlement.
Fewer construction and power-driven delays, and every change priced before it is approved.
Commissioning & start-up oversight
A data center cannot enter service until its systems perform together. We plan backward from the ready-for-service date, sequence testing around actual dependencies, and close issues only when the evidence meets the owner's criteria.
Ready-for-service (RFS) on the committed date, backed by IST results and complete turnover records.
One team across every phase.
One owner's-side team from development through operations. We build cost and schedule baselines a lender can review, and we can tie our fees to the targets you are measured on.
Cost management
- Independent cost estimating and validation
- Lender-approved cost baselines
- Structured contingency governance
- Forecast-to-complete reporting
- Change order challenge and validation
Incentives tied to achieving or beating cost targets while holding scope and quality.
Schedule management
- Integrated master schedule
- Critical-path monitoring with a lean production system
- Interface management between power, building, and IT
- Long-lead procurement integration
- Schedule risk analysis
Incentives tied to hitting milestones and raising schedule problems early.
Who we work for.
Data center developers and platform sponsors
Owner's-side governance from site diligence through operations, with the same controls and reporting on every site you add.
Hyperscale, AI, and enterprise offtakers
Independent assurance that committed capacity arrives on the date and at the cost the business planned around.
Lenders, infrastructure funds, and capital partners
Validated cost baselines, structured contingency governance, and forecast-to-complete reporting you can underwrite.
OEMs and supply chain partners entering the market
What hyperscale buyers expect in qualification, factory testing, and delivery dates, from people who have run those programs.
Three ways to engage us.
Full program leadership
CorePhase establishes and runs the owner's program office, including governance, controls, execution leadership, and commissioning.
Owner's team augmentation
Senior program directors, schedulers, cost managers, and commissioning leads embedded in your organization and working under your badge.
Controls and assurance
We establish independent baselines, reporting, risk management, and procurement tracking for programs led by other delivery teams.
