Who Should Attend: This course is designed for:

Project planners and schedulers
Project controls professionals
Construction managers
Project managers
Owners’ representatives
EPC and general contractor personnel
Electrical and mechanical package managers
Professionals transitioning into data center projects
Basic familiarity with Primavera P6 is recommended. The course focuses on applying P6 to data center construction rather than teaching every introductory software function.

What Participants Will Learn by the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Understand the complete data center construction lifecycle.
Develop a practical EPS, project, WBS, and activity structure.
Translate data center scope into measurable schedule activities.
Sequence civil, structural, architectural, MEP, technology, and commissioning work.
Identify major interfaces between utility power, substations, generators, UPS systems, cooling systems, and white-space deployment.
Apply appropriate activity relationships, constraints, calendars, and coding.
Establish contractual, construction, energization, and turnover milestones.
Recognize the major drivers of the data center critical path.
Organize the schedule by building, area, system, trade, contractor, and turnover package.
Status the schedule and communicate progress, delays, float, and forecast completion.
Use the schedule to support management reporting and project-control decisions.

One-Day Course Outline

Module 1 — Data Center Project Lifecycle
Module 2 — Building the P6 Schedule Framework
Module 3 — Data Center Construction Sequencing
Module 4 — Long-Lead Procurement and Equipment Delivery
Module 5 — Electrical and Mechanical Systems
Module 6 — White Space and Technology Deployment
Module 7 — CPM Logic and Critical Path Development
Module 8 — Commissioning and Turnover
Module 9 — Progress Updating and Schedule Controls

Hands-On Exercise: Participants work with a representative data center schedule to:

Review the WBS and activity-code structure.
Identify missing scope and incomplete logic.
Sequence selected civil, electrical, mechanical, and commissioning activities.
Connect long-lead procurement to installation need dates.
Calculate the schedule and review the critical path.
Update selected activities using a defined data date.
Evaluate float, forecast dates, and potential schedule risks.
Produce a practical filtered or grouped P6 layout.

Participant Takeaways: Participants receive:

One-day course presentation
Data center scheduling reference material
Example data center WBS
Construction-sequencing guidance
Certificate of completion

P6 Data Center Planning & Scheduling
Data center projects demand more than a basic construction schedule. They require precise coordination of civil, structural, architectural, electrical, mechanical, technology, and commissioning activities—all while managing aggressive completion dates and complex system dependencies.
This one-day, industry-focused Primavera P6 course teaches participants how to develop, organize, sequence, update, and analyze a realistic data center construction schedule. Using the data center lifecycle as the framework, participants learn how major scopes of work—from site preparation and underground utilities through energization, integrated systems testing, and turnover—should be represented in P6.
The course combines practical Primavera P6 techniques with real-world data center construction sequencing, helping schedulers create schedules that are credible, measurable, and useful for project execution.
