mCIC understands the stress involved and detail required in even a minor construction project. Compound this with a 24×7 availability requirement, and the quantity and complexity of systems required in today’s data centers and what you have is today’s typical data center construction project. mCIC has streamlined the data center construction process in order to minimize the interruption to day-to-day operations, while still keeping costs in check.

mCIC will guide you every step of the way, from the first realization that some scope of change is required, to the final systems commissioning and use training.

Whatever avenue you select for the construction of your data center; whether the traditional design-specify-bid-build, or the more modern design/build. Or if you simply need guidance in designing and specifying your data center, mCIC will utilize its ever expanding expertise to get you the up-to-date, state-of-the-art data center you need, and then take the data center to the desktop; providing you with the integrated, and completely manageable facility that makes your job easier, and your company more profitable.

mCIC is committed to excellence in the data center design/build process. Unlike the traditional design-specify-bid-build process, which costs more, takes more time to execute and requires more resources to manage, mCIC Design/Build Data Center Construction Strategy condenses the exercise into a clear and concise process. By integrating both design and construction services, a tighter schedule can be met, costs can be better controlled and unforeseen problems can be avoided. Our proven methodology is designed to minimize the disruption of your business during deployment. These are just some of the many services we offer:

  • Assessment & Planning
  • Design
  • Architecture / Engineering
  • Equipment Sourcing & Scheduling
  • Construction / Installation / Integration
  • Commissioning
  • Operations & Maintenance
  • Monitoring

Our approach to every engagement starts with defining and understanding the project requirements for the data center and identifying the business objectives. This is followed by an assessment and audit of the available assets and inevitable detriments. We then establish the design criteria and create a preliminary design to summarize the associated project build costs.

From this point, the initial design is developed based on the project scope, determined system requirements, and available data center build budget, both time-wise and dollar-wise. A preliminary project timeline is established to minimizing construction time and ensure alignment with the project budget.

mCIC maintains relationships with the industries, ‘best-of-breed’, critical infrastructure suppliers, local architect/engineers and construction partners. This ensures you receive the best possible equipment cost, with the most favorable delivery terms and have it installed by the most skilled craftsman.

We protect your data center budget commitments by offering fixed-bid pricing wherever possible. However, for those projects where the design/build scope cannot be fully defined at proposal time, we also offer hourly rates.

mCIC understands the only acceptable level of downtime is zero. Your job performance and our reputation depend on it.
