How to Deliver Data Centers on Time Using Visual Data You Can (Actually) Trust

The leaders running your capital program know the problem. Site data exists. Whether it reflects what's actually happening on the ground is a different question.

Data center construction and program controls teams are managing progress across portfolios that span dozens of sites, multiple time zones, and construction phases running simultaneously. The challenge is consistent across organizations: collecting data isn't the problem. Trusting it is.

This session is for the teams responsible for closing that gap. We'll go beyond the business case into how data center organizations actually stand up reality capture programs.

What we'll cover:

• Reality capture across the construction lifecycle – aerial maps for civil progress, 360 walks for in-wall conditions and pre-pour verification, and ground robotics for large-footprint sites
• How capture integrates with existing project controls – not as a separate workflow, but as the verification layer on the ones already running
• Validating KPIs with objective site data – confirming milestones are met before validating progress payments, verifying material delivery, and flagging out-of-sequence work before it becomes a change order
• Remote visibility at scale – how portfolio owners and owner's reps stay current across sites they can't walk every week
• Standing up a program – capture standards, frequency, data ownership, and consistency across multiple GCs and trade partners
• AI on top of capture data – automated progress tracking, safety detection, and condition documentation without manual image review
