Data Center Advisory

Owner's Engineer and detailed engineering for large-scale AI and hyperscale data center campuses.

RKBF advises owners and developers of large-scale AI data center campuses — from concept through construction and handover. Acting as Owner's Engineer / Owner's Representative, we protect the owner's interests across 30+ engineering disciplines, coordinate multidisciplinary design, manage procurement and contracts, and drive quality, schedule, and cost from programming to final commissioning. Projects span the full campus: the data center itself plus its substation and grid connection, on-site photovoltaic (PV) generation, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and optional natural gas generation.
