Services:
Cost Management & Quantity Surveying
As digital transformation accelerates, organisations are increasingly relying on advanced data-intensive technologies to stay efficient, competitive and connected. Data centres are crucial for securely housing, powering and protecting this vital digital infrastructure. The sector is experiencing significant growth to meet surging demand and escalating expectations of performance, reliability and security.
NEXTDC is one of Australia’s leading data centre providers with a growing network of centres across Australia’s major cities. Since 2020, WT has played a critical role in supporting NEXTDC’s data centre portfolio expansion, including projects in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, and Darwin.
Delivering consistent and cost-efficient solutions nationwide
As a trusted advisor to NEXTDC, we have developed a deep understanding of our client’s specific needs and challenges and we have been able to bring a consistent approach to each project. Across our national offices, our experts have worked seamlessly to deliver comprehensive cost management and advisory services, from initial feasibility through to project completion.
By leveraging data from multiple NEXTDC projects, we’ve been able to benchmark costs effectively despite regional variations in subcontractor rates. Our value engineering expertise has enabled us to introduce efficiencies and identify savings, helping keep projects on budget and on schedule even with the newly developed technologies and infrastructure.
Mastering the technical demands of data centres
Data centres are complex environments, constantly evolving with new technologies and infrastructure requirements. For these facilities to operate successfully and remain resilient, it’s critical that their technical specifications are fit for purpose and robust, including state-of-the-art electrical systems, cooling and mechanical mechanisms, fire safety, and advanced security measures. Our understanding of these technical requirements, their cost implications, and the options for fulfilling them efficiently have helped NEXTDC to achieve the desired outcomes for each centre.
Collaborating with NEXTDC’s project teams, engineers, contractors and suppliers, we have explored innovative construction options to drive cost efficiency, and speed to market.
NEXTDC and its partners are driving technological innovation, connecting every corner of Australia to cutting-edge digital infrastructure to transform the way we live and work. We look forward to continuing to offer NEXTDC our commercial, cost and technical expertise as it rolls out more quality data centres to secure Australia’s digital future.
