Setting up a company from nothing, mobilising a crew across the country, and how you actually make money once you are there.

What a data centre crew really costs

Every contractor compares quotes on the hourly rate. It is the wrong number. What actually sits inside a charged hour, why the cheapest quote is the most expensive by week six, and the one cost nobody puts on the invoice.

Worker housing: what a data centre crew actually needs

Two men to a room, a kitchen six can cook in, forty minutes from the gate.

Frankfurt: who actually builds the data centres?

Two days at Data Centre World, and the question nobody on stage could answer.

Who will build Europe's data centres?

Three days where the industry talks in megawatts. The best half hour was about concrete.

"Romanians are the largest foreign workforce on Europe's construction sites. Most of them are invisible: a rate per hour on an agency invoice, a bunk in a house nobody inspects. I know these men because I was one of them at sixteen. I am building the name they stand behind."
About
I am Romanian, based in Dublin. I started on a construction site at sixteen and stayed on the tools long enough to learn what a good foreman looks like and what a bad one costs.

Europe's data centres have more money than hands, and everyone building them knows it. My work has followed that build wherever it goes. I started in the UK, ran my own crews in London, then moved into data centres: as Commercial Director at AAC Group I set up companies in Germany, the Netherlands and Finland, so Romanian crews are employed locally, housed properly, and kept on site for twelve months rather than six weeks. Frankfurt, Dietzenbach, The Hague, Helsinki. I know the compliance, the cost and the people in each market, and wherever the next data centre breaks ground, that is where we go.

That experience now runs through my own company, RTB Workforce, built on the same model across Europe, and I intend to make it a European name.
