Why it matters to you

If it holds up on a hyperscale build, it will hold up on yours.

A selection of projects from founder Richard Batson's career across mission-critical, aviation, and healthcare construction. A few clients remain unnamed under active NDAs — but every project taught the same disciplines, and each one ties back to what matters in your home.

Owner's Representative · 1.2 GW+

Stargate Abilene Data Center Campus

Senior Project Manager & Owner's Representative · Crusoe · Abilene, TX

Programmatic oversight of development and construction across an eight-building hyperscale campus exceeding 1.2 GW — auditing critical-path schedules, budgets, design, procurement, and commissioning across prime contractors, and delivering executive-level reporting straight to the owner.

For your home: this is owner's representation at the highest level in the industry — the exact role, focused entirely on protecting one owner's interests. Yours.

Hyperscale Data Center · 40 MW

QTS Hyperscale Data Center Campus

Lead MEP Manager · Adolfson & Peterson · Fort Worth, TX

Led the full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scope of a 300,000-sf, 40 MW data center — building the detailed schedule, enforcing QA/QC, managing budget and change, and driving commissioning readiness against an owner's exacting standards.

For your home: the same scrutiny of systems, costs, and quality that protects a 40 MW facility — pointed at the systems and budget of your home.

Hyperscale Data Center · 60 MW

Confidential Hyperscale Data Center Campus

Lead MEP Project Manager · Ryan Companies · Plain City, OH

Led the full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scope of a 200,000-sf, 60 MW data center building from preconstruction through commissioning — owning MEP budget performance (cost tracking, forecasting, and change management) and enforcing hyperscale QA/QC protocols, including OFCI receiving and First-of-Kind inspections.

For your home: the same budget ownership and quality verification that governs a 60 MW build — keeping your costs honest and confirming the work is right before it's covered up.

Healthcare

Dell Children's Medical Center — North MOB

Aviation · LEED Gold

Salt Lake City International Airport — North Concourse

MEP Project Engineer · Austin Commercial · Salt Lake City, UT
