How Sitetracker Delivers Predictable Success in Data Center Construction and Commissioning

The construction phase of a data center project is where plans meet execution. From enabling works through shell and core, interior and MEP fit-out, to testing and commissioning, this phase determines whether projects are delivered on time, on budget, and ready for service. Yet with so many moving parts (contractors, inspections, technical submittals, commissioning milestones) risk is high, and visibility is often low.

Sitetracker gives data center developers the control and visibility needed to deliver complex builds on schedule and at scale. From enabling works to handover, teams stay aligned, progress stays on track, and risk stays in check. Purpose-built for large-scale infrastructure, Sitetracker connects field teams and leadership in one platform—ensuring delivery is predictable, auditable, and on schedule.

Why Construction Needs More Than Scheduling Tools

Generic project management or scheduling software fails in construction because it can’t capture the complexity of real-world execution:

• Change orders, time impacts, and risks are tracked in isolation.
• Vendor acceptance and commissioning workflows lack transparency.
• Inspections and sign-offs are handled inconsistently across sites.
• Close-out and handover drag on without clear accountability.

Sitetracker solves these exact challenges. It standardizes construction workflows, connects schedules to deliverables, aligns field execution with project milestones, and ensures that commissioning and handover are predictable and auditable, allowing teams to move faster without sacrificing control. 

Sitetracker Advantages in Data Center Construction

1. Construction Execution

• Track progress from enabling works through fit-out and capture real-time updates from the field, including photo documentation, inspections, and milestone completion.
• Maintain full visibility into progress, blockers, and budget risk across every site.
• Run inspections, checklists, and approvals systematically with built-in gating (#6 Completion milestone).

💡 Which sites are falling behind on shell & core? Which are ready for practical completion? Sitetracker shows you instantly.

Result: A single source of truth from grading to practical completion.

2. Testing & Commissioning

• Organize commissioning documents, scripts, and checklists directly in Sitetracker.
• Manage submittals, RFIs, inspections, and sign-offs in one structured system—so you know exactly what’s ready and what’s not.
• Track every test, inspection, and sign-off with full transparency so nothing slips through the cracks before handover.
• Develop and log commissioning complete letters, reports, and external sign-offs systematically.

💡 Need to know what’s outstanding for RFS? Sitetracker maps commissioning status to your final milestone gates.

Result: Commissioning that is predictable, auditable, and aligned with operational readiness.

3. Risk, Change, and Vendor Management

• Handle change orders, risk logs, and vendor performance as part of your daily workflow, not as disconnected afterthoughts.
• Track vendor contracts, submittals, and acceptance within Sitetracker.
• Monitor contractor performance across the portfolio with standardized reporting.

💡 Which vendors are behind on deliverables? Where are change orders creating timeline risk?

Result: Issues are surfaced and resolved early, avoiding costly overruns or handover delays.

Sitetracker in Action: Construction Without Surprises

With Sitetracker, developers gain end-to-end visibility and control during construction:

• Change, risk, and time management integrated into daily workflows.
• Inspections, sign-offs, and acceptance tracked in real time.
• Commissioning documentation and external approvals managed systematically.
• Close-out and handover checklists automated to reduce delays.
• Keep track of change orders, vendor milestones, and handover tasks without switching tools.

The result: Predictable delivery, faster commissioning, and smoother handover—driven by real-time visibility, automated checklists, and connected workflows across construction and commissioning teams.

💡 Need to know which sites are still waiting on inspections or sign-offs?
💡 Wondering where change orders are holding up handover—or which vendors are off track?

Sitetracker gives construction leaders real-time answers—without switching tools or chasing down updates.
