Modern PMIS for AI Data Center Builds

The industry’s first modern PMIS built for data center and energy buildouts — powering what’s next.

Every megawatt, on one schedule of record. Cost, cash flow and the colors of money roll from the hall to the campus to the portfolio. Turnkey for that program. Configurable after go-live.

The scope is the full build-out: shell and civil, the data hall, the substation and the generator yard — then the work orders and master agreements that maintain them. TerraForge does not clear an interconnection queue. It records the status, the megawatts and the draw. The Operations Wall is the review screen, not the system of record.

Owner-side PMO

Built for owners who carry the schedule risk.

Energization is the date that matters. The owner carries the exposure between the campus build and the power build.

One schedule of record, from the portfolio to the hall. TerraForge does not clear an interconnection queue, and it does not shorten a lead time.

  1. 01

    Every megawatt, on one schedule of record.

    Critical path, baseline and float live in Schedule Manager. Primavera P6 comes in by XER or XML and updates in place.

    Schedule of record

  2. 02

    Control the long-lead path before it controls you.

    Transformers, switchgear and generators move on their own clock. A late delivery shows up as slippage, and as a draw.

    Long-lead on the record

  3. 03

    Roll up every campus, phase, and hall.

    Organisation, program and project share one cost arithmetic. The portfolio dashboard reads budget, committed, spent and forecast.

  4. 04

    Find any record. Open it. Come back.

    Global Search opens the live record — an asset, a project, a schedule, a drawing or a contract — and returns you to the results.

    Give PMO and finance the same numbers, every week.

    Freeze a cash-flow baseline. Compare the forecast to it. Actuals are approved payment applications.

    A bid prices a frozen bill of quantities and drafts the contract from the award.

The exposure

When energization is the date that matters.

Time to power is not a construction duration. A moved energization date is a financing problem as much as a site problem.

The owner’s PMO sees that date, the long-lead commitment, and the cash-flow consequence in one place. It does not get a project through an interconnection queue.

Turnkey for day one. App Builder publishes the next form after go-live.

The full build-out

Energy and the campus. The shell and the hall. Then the work that keeps them.

TerraForge is the owner PMIS for the whole AI data center build-out, not the IT fit-out alone. Power, the shell, the data hall and the maintenance that follows energization are records in one portfolio.

Energy with the campus

Power sits on the same portfolio as the hall.

Substation and generator yard are asset categories, next to campus, data center and data hall. The facility profile holds contracted and operational megawatts, utility feeds, generators, cooling and PUE.

The state record holds the primary utility, the ISO, contracted megawatts against what is operational, and interconnection status from not filed to energized. That status is the owner’s record of the queue. TerraForge does not clear it.

Shell, civil, and the hall

The shell package and the fit-out are one program.

Takeoff can load a shell bill by cost code into the bid. Civil is a works category on the master agreement — the site and the foundations travel with that package, not in another system.

The data hall is its own asset and its own project: white space, racks, gross area, and the fit-out that prices racks, PDUs and heat rejection. One cost sheet rolls both.

After energization

Maintenance stays on the asset.

A work order is raised on the campus asset after energization — switchgear PM, fuel polishing, a generator ATS transfer, infrared thermography, or corrective and warranty work — and assigned to a supplier.

Completing it charges the actual cost to an approved master agreement, once. Those agreements cover power, cooling, fiber and fire and life safety. ERP sync sits on the agreement. Ball-in-Court lands in My Tasks. Vendors do not sign in to the work order.

Portfolio, campuses and assets

How an owner runs it

Organisation, state, program, project, asset.

A dashboard sits on each. Cost sheets roll and segment. The wall is only the organisation dashboard, on a screen.

The operating system

The records behind the build.

From the wave, to the campus, to the hall, to the contract, then the work that keeps the asset. Each link is a working record — not a slide.

  1. 01

    Capital program

    Budget first. Then the contract, the change, the application, the schedule of values, the draw, and the date. Funding Manager follows for owners who separate sources.

  2. 02

    Portfolio control

    The owner’s view of the wave: campuses, money, MW and risk, with a cockpit for the room.

  3. 03

    Program delivery

    Primavera P6 comes in by XER or XML and updates the same schedule in place.

  4. 04

    Project execution

    The hall itself: drawings and takeoffs, the controlled document set, RFIs and the field record.

  5. 05

    Maintenance

    After energization, work orders on campus assets draw against approved master agreements for power, cooling, fiber and fire and life safety.

  6. 06

    Bidding

    From a secure vendor bid to the contract the award becomes.

Funding Manager and the Fund Sheet — for owners who keep sources apart — are on Solutions, after budget, contracts, cash flow and the schedule.

Portfolio cockpit

The Operations Wall is the review screen for the wave.

Presentation mode walks a portfolio review through six frames. Campuses, MW, cost and energization risk go on the wall. Program delivery and project execution stay on the records — the cost sheet, the Gantt, the bid, the RFI.
