The 9 Phases of Data Center Construction Led by Hyuga Kouhatsu Corporation.
Phase01
Initial Planning
The Initial Planning Phase is the first crucial step in laying the foundation for a data center construction project. During this stage, a comprehensive review of various elements such as market research, business objectives setting, technical considerations, financial planning, and legal and regulatory checks is conducted. Market research involves analyzing the balance between supply and demand and collecting data to forecast growth. In terms of technical considerations, the latest technology trends and feasible technical solutions are evaluated to explore the best options. Financial planning includes a detailed simulation of initial investment and operational costs, followed by decisions on funding methods.
We support the comprehensive planning and decision-making process during this initial planning phase to ensure informed and confident decisions for our clients.
Phase02
Basic Plan
The Basic Planning Phase clarifies the specific needs and goals for the data center construction project. During this stage, key activities such as site suitability studies, conceptual design reviews, budget estimation, and legal/regulatory research play important roles.
In the site suitability study, geographic conditions, infrastructure development, and surrounding environments are analyzed in detail to select the optimal construction site. In the conceptual design, the basic design concept for the data center is developed, including initial layouts and equipment placement. The budget estimation involves calculating construction costs, operational expenses, and maintenance costs in detail, evaluating the overall cost-effectiveness of the project.
We support detailed research and planning during this Basic Planning Phase to ensure the smooth progression of our clients' projects.
Phase03
Basic Design
In the Basic Design Phase, the specific design details of the data center construction project are finalized. During this stage, key activities such as establishing design standards, developing equipment layouts, determining equipment specifications, reviewing architectural designs, and refining the budget are carried out.
In the establishment of design standards, design principles such as safety, efficiency, and scalability are clearly defined. In the equipment layout development, the placement of server rooms, cooling systems, power facilities, and other essential components is specifically planned. The determination of equipment specifications involves selecting the equipment and materials to be used, setting quality and performance standards.
We support detailed design work during this Basic Design Phase to ensure that our clients' projects proceed as planned.

Phase04
Quotation Inquiry
The Quotation Inquiry Phase is a critical stage in the data center construction project where quotations are received from construction companies, and the best proposal is selected. We provide consulting services throughout the entire process, from issuing the quotation inquiry to selecting the construction company, receiving and evaluating quotations, to negotiations and contract finalization.
During the quotation inquiry, we create a detailed specification document and present clear conditions to each construction company. In the selection of construction companies, we evaluate candidates based on reliability, technical expertise, and past performance to identify the best partner. In the evaluation and negotiation of quotations, we comprehensively review cost, quality, and schedule to finalize a contract that brings the most benefit to the client.
We guarantee a transparent process from the client's perspective and ensures the establishment of a strong, beneficial contract relationship with the optimal construction partner.
Phase05
Detailed Design and Production Management
In the Detailed Design and Production Management Phase, the detailed design of the data center's building and equipment is finalized, and the manufacturing and procurement processes are managed. During the detailed design stage, we review architectural design, equipment design, and the specifics of electrical and mechanical systems to provide the optimal design solutions. Additionally, we establish the specifications for equipment, formulate quality control plans, assess safety measures, and create cost management and scheduling strategies to develop the project's execution plan. In production management, we work closely with suppliers and manufacturers, ensuring stringent quality control and adherence to delivery timelines.
We offer comprehensive consulting and management to ensure the client's project progresses as planned, ultimately improving the final quality of the completed facility.

Phase06
Construction and Installation
The Construction and Installation Phase is the execution stage of the data center construction project, involving a wide range of activities such as site surveys, foundation work, steel frame assembly, exterior and interior construction, equipment installation, safety management, and quality control.
We provide consulting for overall construction management, supporting the development of construction plans, progress monitoring at the construction site, and the establishment of safety management systems. At the construction site, we facilitate close communication and coordination with various specialized contractors to ensure efficient work progress. Additionally, in quality control, we conduct regular inspections and assessments to guarantee high-quality construction in line with the project plan.
Our consulting services aim to ensure smooth construction progress and the ultimate success of the project, fully supporting our clients to ensure the project is completed on schedule.
Phase07
Trial Run
The Trial Run Phase is the final adjustment stage before the data center begins full operations after construction is completed. We provide comprehensive consulting services during this phase, which includes equipment functionality testing, production line operation checks, safety verifications, efficiency and quality evaluations, operator training, and final adjustments.
During the functionality tests, we ensure that all equipment operates as designed and check for any unexpected issues. The production line operation check verifies that the overall operational flow runs smoothly. Safety verifications involve confirming that each piece of equipment meets safety standards, minimizing potential risks. In the efficiency and quality evaluation, we focus on optimizing performance, and during operator training, we provide training to prepare for actual operations.
We offer full support to ensure that the data center can start operations safely and efficiently.
Phase08
Start of Operations
In the Start of Operations Phase, the data center officially begins its full-scale operation. During this phase, activities such as monitoring initial operations, preparing operational manuals, establishing support systems, and troubleshooting preparations are carried out.
We provide support to address any initial issues or problems that may arise during the start-up, and assists in the preparation of operational manuals. The manual includes detailed procedures for daily operations and emergency responses to ensure operators can perform their tasks smoothly. Additionally, we establish a support system and provide on-site assistance as needed.
We are committed to ensuring the data center operates smoothly and delivers the planned performance by offering comprehensive support throughout this phase.

Phase09
Operational Maintenance
The Operational Maintenance Phase is the stage where ongoing support and maintenance management are provided after the data center begins operations. We assist in ensuring stable operations by offering regular maintenance checks, rapid response to issues, equipment upgrade suggestions, and operational data analysis.
During regular maintenance checks, we periodically inspect the condition of equipment and carry out preventive maintenance. In the event of an issue, we respond quickly to minimize the impact on operations. When proposing equipment upgrades, we suggest optimal improvements based on technological advancements. In operational data analysis, we work to optimize performance based on the collected data.
Through our consulting services, we ensure that the data center continues to operate stably over the long term.
