Design and Build

When building a new data centre or modifying existing centres companies have normally relied on a single trusted supplier to provide all elements of the design and build. This can also include all of the supporting electrical and services infrastructure. Too often this approach will limit your choices to "what that trusted supplier sells or to whom they have partnerships with. This can lead to a situation where you are not benefiting from the rapid development in products and services available on the New Zealand market.

The staff at Interface Works have been involved with computer room audits, design and building services for over 30 years, across New Zealand, Australia and the Middle East. This experience has shown that in many cases, specialist advice may be required to ensure that critical items such as footprint, electrical and infrastructure design will meet not only current anticipated growth requirements but also that they must be designed to be expandable without disrupting normal data centre activities.

By involving Interface Works Limited in the initial design and implementation phases we will ensure that all suitable suppliers of products and services will be appraised for the various elements before work commences. In many cases this approach while offering the best fit for purpose will also save considerable amounts of capital.

Our experience and knowledge of computer room design and where necessary peer review process helps us catch mistakes that might otherwise go undetected until after construction is completed.
