How Much Does a Data Center Expansion Cost to Engineer?
Data center expansion engineering typically costs $500,000 to $4,000,000+, depending on the MW (5-50+), the sq ft (20,000-100,000+), and the tier. Data center expansions are the uptime-power specialty: the Tier III/IV (the 99.982%'s — the 99.995's), the 50MW (the 5's — the PUE's), and the 1.2 (the PUE's — the 50's). Expect engineering at 7-10% of construction.

Structural: the halls
The 50MW (the 5's — the PUE's; the 1.2's), the 1.2 PUE (the 50's — the 5's; the Tier's), the 150 psf (the 250's — the floor's; the 50's), and the 1.5x (the seismic's — the Ie's; the Tier's).
Uptime MEP
The Tier III/IV (the 99.982's — the 99.995's; the 50's), the 99.982% (the III's — the 99.995's; the IV's), the 99.995% (the IV's — the 99.982's; the III's), the 50MW (the 5's — the 1.2's; the Tier's), the 2N (the Tier's — the 50's; the IV's), and the 72-hour (the 100's — the 50's; the fuel's).
Delivery
The 3-year (the design's — the 5's; the Tier's), the 99% (the 2-year's — the operational; the 5's — the 50's), the 100-year (the civic's — the built; the uptime), and the 50 (the 5's — the 1.2's; the MW's). The hall's — the Tier's 99.995%; the engineering's — the 7-10%.
The bottom line
Budget $500,000-$4,000,000+ for data center expansion engineering (7-10% of construction) — Tier III/IV (99.982%/99.995%), 5-50MW, 1.2 PUE, 2N redundancy, 72-hour fuel.
