Right Decisions Before Capital Is Committed
Most data center investment decisions are made before the hard questions have been asked. Site risks are unquantified, regulatory hurdles are unknown, and financial models are built on assumptions rather than evidence. Our data center planning services change that.
Four Services Across The Full Pre - Design Lifecycle
Each service targets a specific stage of the decision making journey. They can be engaged individually or as a sequenced programme.

What Makes Our Planning Outputs Different
Generic feasibility reports require further validation. Ours do not. Every deliverable is bankable, AHJ-ready, and certification aligned from day one.
Planning Engagements We Run And For Whom
Different clients come to planning with different objectives.
A Structured Six - Phase Engagement
Every planning engagement follows a structured process with clear decision points. Clients are never committed to full scope before understanding preliminary findings.
Mobilisation
NDA, SOW, site access, data room established.
Interim Review
Preliminary findings shared for client sense-check.
Ongoing Support
AHJ submissions, investor queries, regulatory follow-up.
Scoping
Project type, use case, site shortlist, and desired outcomes defined.
Field & Desk Work
Surveys, sampling, utility data, financial modelling, analysis.
Delivery
Final reports, stakeholder debrief, Q&A and recommendations.

A standard DC Project Feasibility engagement takes six to eight weeks from scoping to final DPR delivery. Timelines extend when projects involve multiple sites or specialist sub-studies such as geotechnical surveys.
Yes. The DPR is structured to meet the documentation requirements of leading infrastructure lenders and institutional investors, including the financial model, risk register, and AHJ compliance package.
A full technical site DD includes physical field surveys, laboratory sample testing, drone surveys, geotechnical investigations, and digital data analysis — far beyond what existing data sources alone can reveal.
Yes. Technavious has delivered planning engagements across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, the UK, and the United States, deploying our partner network alongside our in-house team for local regulatory knowledge.
A planning engagement creates documented project intelligence that flows directly into design and certification.
DC Design & Engineering
Clients with approved feasibility move directly into the Decision Accelerator Pack or Detailed Design & Execution Pack.
TIA 942C Design Certification
Clients who receive TIA/ISO compliance checklists in the feasibility report frequently engage for formal design certification immediately.
Brownfield Retrofit Design
Upgradation Consulting clients with confirmed upgrade roadmaps move directly into Detailed Design (Brownfield Retrofit).
