Data Center Design
& Construction
Here at JB STEEL®, we know you want only the best storage for your custom data centers, and we specialize in making that happen. Cost-effectively and on time.
Data Center Construction Contractors for Mission-Critical Facilities
JB STEEL® designs and delivers data center facilities built to keep pace with rapid digital growth. From site preparation and secure foundations to steel erection and envelope installation, we self-perform the trades that impact uptime, cooling efficiency, and schedule certainty. Our DESIGN‑ASSIST™ approach brings clients, engineers, and our trades to the table early, so you don’t just get a building, you get an operational asset ready for today and scalable for tomorrow.
We Do It All
Power-Ready Shells
We build tilt-up and steel-framed structures designed for high electrical loads, thermal stability, and long equipment life.
Secure Foundations
Our ACI-certified concrete teams pour large footings, vibration-resistant slabs, and underground vaults with precision.
Pre‑Engineered & Hybrid Roof Systems
Pairing PEMB efficiency with tilt-up walls gives you scalable spans with speed—ideal for modular server expansion.
Site Development & Utilities
We self-perform civil scopes including grading, drainage, ductbanks, and primary conduit runs—keeping critical trenching on schedule.
Structural Steel Fabrication & Erection
In-house steel detailing, fabrication, and erection provides total control over framing tolerances and sequencing.
Design-Assist & Early Trade Coordination
We use BIM models during preconstruction to align MEP pathways, floor loads, access control, and cooling systems with the building shell from day one.
Why Choose JB STEEL® for Data Center Construction
Better Builders. From Civil to Steel.
Since 1970, JB STEEL® has delivered complex industrial and commercial facilities across the Western U.S., combining civil preparation, structural concrete, steel fabrication, and erection under one contract. That same integrated approach is what today’s data center projects demand: clear spans, reliable power, precise cooling, and zero tolerance for downtime.
Our DESIGN-ASSIST™ process brings owners, engineers, and our self-perform crews together early to:
- Detect clashes and optimize MEP-heavy layouts in 3D before ground breaks
- Incorporate field-driven schedules that anticipate critical path activities
- Reduce change orders by ~30% and accelerate delivery by up to 12 weeks
Licensed in 10 states (with Nevada pending), and recognized twice as Metallic Building Company’s Builder of the Year, JB STEEL® has the proven track record and scale to make your next data center—or any mission-critical facility—an operational asset from day one.
What to Expect (Our Process)
Here’s how our process works:
- Preliminary Site Review – We walk the site with you, reviewing access, soils, utilities, and layout constraints.
- DESIGN‑ASSIST™ Phase – Using your programming data, we coordinate shell geometry, slab specs, and load zones with MEP trades.
- Permitting & Mobilization – While permits are in process, we prep submittals, lock in long-lead steel, and schedule our crews.
- Self-Performed Construction – We handle grading, foundations, panel casting, steel erection, and envelope installation—no handoffs.
- Turnover & Closeout – You get a clean, code-compliant facility ready for racking, cabling, and commissioning.
Customer Testimonials
"JB STEEL® designed and built our new facility in Medford, Oregon seamlessly and met our timeline. They were great to work with every step of the way; from guiding us through frustrating permitting issues to implementing our requested mid-project design changes and finally keeping up with consistent communication to ensure we were updated on the progress of the job. All of their team members were the upmost professionals to work with and always provided needed information to us that ensured an on-time project completion. We appreciate their hard work and definitely look forward to working with them again!"
"JB STEEL® recently designed and constructed a beautiful new building for our property and were an absolute pleasure to work with. They understood our unique vision and executed it perfectly, met our standards of quality, and did it on all a very tight timeline."
"We make a lot of changes and we need them to be on our team, not opposing each other but walk through it together to figure out a solution. We put them through the wringer and they delivered. We re-engineered two or three times; it was a long ways from home, and they made it happen on several levels."
