Soben provided full post-contract services at this two-storey development, working through challenging post-pandemic conditions to deliver a 16MW data centre.
Soben played a key role supporting the delivery of this multi-tenant, two-storey data centre facility in Berlin, Germany, which offers 16MW of IT capacity to hyperscalers and large cloud providers.
The Soben team provided full post-contract services, including engineering project management, cost management and document control, at our client’s campus in Berlin. Setting a new standard for data centre development, we worked to an ambitious, accelerated timeline to take the plot from brownfield to completion in record time, supporting our client’s rapid growth in EMEA.

Access
We only hire the best to deliver world-class cost, time and quality outcomes. All of our Managers have previous senior leadership experience within large contracting organisations.
Delivering on our promises
Working through challenging post-pandemic conditions, Soben successfully navigated remote working restrictions and unprecedented supply chain issues, employing our team’s project management expertise, technical engineering knowledge and creative problem solving to deliver for our client.
With different tenants due to occupy the building upon completion, the team was faced with a set of complex engineering and project management challenges, managing various sets of different requirements for the commissioning and handover of the site.
Where culture meets quality
We understand the complexity of major infrastructure projects, the need to manage expectations of multiple stakeholders. Our data centre specialists are committed to delivering efficient, cost effective, and future-proofed results.
Soben offers something different – a combination of the best consultancy practices, with real-life hands-on commercial experience in delivering major construction projects.
During the project, Soben went above and beyond on a number of occasions to meet key deadlines which have required longer hours and multiple tasks to be prioritised. We would highly recommend Soben to other Clients as they offer an all-round first-class commercial service.
