Get to Market Faster: How Metal Buildings Speed Up Data Center Construction

The Race to Build Critical Digital Infrastructure

Data centers power our digital world. As businesses expand online and cloud computing grows, demand for new data centers has never been higher. In this industry, delays cost money. Every day a data center isn’t operational means lost revenue for your business.

This is where pre-engineered metal buildings from Butler Manufacturing™ deliver a major advantage—cutting construction time while maintaining quality.

Why Traditional Construction Can’t Keep Pace

Conventional building methods struggle to match the tech industry’s rapid timeline:

  • Design changes cause cascading delays
  • Labor shortages slow progress
  • Supply chain problems leave crews waiting for materials
  • Weather disruptions halt work entirely

Even after completing the main structure, teams still need time for installation of HVAC systems, electrical infrastructure, and specialized equipment. This adds to the inefficient design process of conventional construction, and you lose out on the efficiency offered by metal buildings.

How does a PEMB compare?

The Butler Building Advantage

Butler® buildings offer a modern solution that removes many traditional construction roadblocks.

These pre-engineered metal structures arrive ready for assembly with precise engineering that ensures components fit together perfectly. Factory-fabricated parts reduce on-site modification while streamlined installation requires fewer labor hours.

The result is consistent quality that meets strict data center standards – exactly what mission-critical facilities like yours demand.

Built for Speed Without Compromising Quality

The biggest advantage of Butler buildings is their assembly speed. Unlike traditional construction that requires extensive framing work, these structures arrive ready to erect.

Pre-cut, pre-drilled components eliminate time spent measuring and modifying materials on-site. After organizing the building parts, which also arrive in the order of assembly, a well-trained team can efficiently erect your entire facility faster than ever before.

Your data center takes shape in days or weeks rather than months.

Cost Control When Every Dollar Matters

With construction costs constantly rising, budget management is crucial. Butler delivers value through high-strength steel optimized for durability and precise fabrication that minimizes material waste.

You’ll also benefit from faster construction that reduces labor costs and shorter timelines that cut financing expenses. These combined savings make a PEMB a smart investment for data center developers focused on both speed and budget.

Engineered for Data Center Performance

Data centers demand controlled environments for optimal equipment function. Butler Buildings® excel by offering:

  • Superior insulation systems
  • Durable, weather-resistant exteriors
  • Structures designed to support heavy mechanical systems
  • Precision engineering that maintains tight environmental controls

These features create the stable environment servers need to perform reliably.

Ready for Tomorrow’s Technology

As technology evolves, data centers must adapt.

Butler buildings provide the flexibility to grow with your business by supporting easy structural modifications and accommodating additional server rooms when needed. These versatile structures allow for infrastructure upgrades and enable capacity expansion without the major disruptions typically associated with conventional buildings.

Your facility can evolve alongside your technology requirements without the headache of traditional building methods.
