Description
Description | The US data centre construction boom is driving regional capacity constraints, rising construction costs, and growing demand for skilled labour. The value of data centre construction put-in-place will surpass traditional office spending in 2026 and is set to grow to 4.5% of total US construction activity in 2030. The geographic concentration of activity in key hubs such as Virginia and Texas is testing local supplier markets and pushing up construction costs. Skilled trade labor shortages are a key constraint for project delivery, with workers transitioning to data centre projects doubling their wages. |
