Data Center & Critical Infrastructure

Data Center Construction in Central Florida

Central Florida is a growing data center market with strong connectivity and a central position on the peninsula. The work demands tight control of power, cooling, and uptime in a hot, humid climate.

TCG delivers powered shells and full fit-outs under design-build, with in-house MEP engineering for power and cooling and self-performed insulated metal panel envelopes that hold thermal performance against Florida heat.

Scope

What We Build for Data Centers

Power & Redundancy

Utility service, switchgear, UPS, and N+1 to 2N redundancy.

Precision Cooling

CRAC and CRAH systems and hot and cold aisle containment, sized for Florida heat.

White Space Fit-Out

Raised floor or slab, cabinets, busway, and structured cabling.

Generators & Switchgear

Standby generation, paralleling gear, and fuel systems.

Security & Access

Mantraps, access control, CCTV, and hardened perimeter.

IMP Envelope

Self-performed insulated metal panel shell for thermal control.

Recent TCG Project · Completed Fall 2026

300,000 SF Data Center Support Campus, North of Dallas

TCG erected and insulated three 100,000 SF pre-engineered metal buildings for the staging and storage campus of a new data center north of Dallas, Texas. Building 1 went from start of steel erection to sign-off in 41 days, and the full campus finished 30 days ahead of schedule.

Enclosed data center support building under light towers at night north of Dallas — Enclosed and dried in

On a data center campus the support buildings come first: staging, equipment storage, and laydown have to be dried in before long-lead electrical and mechanical gear arrives for the data hall. Crews ran early morning and night shifts under light towers, with roof panels, wall cladding, and insulation moving in parallel instead of in sequence.

TCG brings the same schedule-first crews and PEMB and IMP self-perform capability to data center projects in Orlando.

Scope: PEMB steel erection, roof and wall panels, and insulation
Use: staging and equipment storage for a new data center campus
Schedule: parallel crews on extended shifts
Result: 300,000 SF delivered 30 days early

FAQ

Data Center Construction FAQ

What recent data center work has TCG completed?

TCG most recently erected and insulated a 300,000 SF data center support campus north of Dallas, Texas: three 100,000 SF pre-engineered metal buildings for a new data center’s staging and storage campus. Building 1 went from start of steel erection to sign-off in 41 days, and the full campus finished 30 days ahead of schedule in fall 2026. TCG brings the same crews and self-perform capability to data center projects in Orlando.

How much does a data center cost in Orlando?

Central Florida data center costs run roughly $315 to $640/SF for enterprise builds and $540 to $1,350/SF for Tier III, with redundancy and power density driving the number. Try our AI estimator.

How do you handle power and cooling redundancy?

We design and build to your tier target, from N+1 to 2N, with UPS, paralleling switchgear, standby generation, and CRAC or CRAH cooling with hot and cold aisle containment sized for Florida heat.

Does Florida's climate affect data center design?

Yes. High heat and humidity increase cooling load and make the building envelope critical, which is why TCG self-performs insulated metal panel shells for thermal control.

Why design-build for a data center?

Design-build keeps power, cooling, and construction under one contract, which is essential for uptime-critical work and shortens the schedule.

How long does a data center take to build?

Powered shells can move in 8 to 14 months, with fit-out adding time based on tier and density. Orange County permitting adds 4 to 10 weeks.

Do you self-perform the building envelope?

Yes. TCG self-performs insulated metal panel envelopes, which deliver the thermal control and durability mission-critical shells require.
