Singapore Data Centre

Project Overview

This major data centre project in Loyang, Singapore involved the staged development of a 50MW hyperscale facility for a global provider. Delivered in two phases, the design featured twin 5-storey buildings (two shells and a core) to support scalable deployment, cost efficiency, and long-term digital infrastructure needs. Obayashi Singapore was engaged as the design and build contractor.

As the client’s first development in Singapore, the project also served to establish local delivery capability and strategic presence in the region

TBH’s Role

Lenders’ Technical Advisor (LTA) and Independent Engineer:

• Conducted technical due diligence to support lender confidence, reviewing design, cost, programme, and contract documentation.
• Provided local market insights to help the client—new to Singapore—select a capable general contractor and align delivery strategy with local expectations.
• Assessed project feasibility, including benchmarking capital costs and validating construction methodology and sequencing.
• Reviewed statutory approvals, utility connections, and site readiness to identify potential delivery risks.
• Evaluated procurement plans for Owner Supplied Equipment (OSE) and contractor interface.
• Transitioned to Independent Engineer post-financial close, providing progress monitoring, milestone validation, and reporting to lenders through construction.

The TBH Difference

TBH’s involvement gave the client and its financiers confidence in delivering a major project in a new market. As the client’s first Singapore-based development, TBH’s understanding of the local delivery landscape—including trusted contractors and regulatory processes—was a key enabler.

The project was delivered on time and under budget, supported by TBH’s early risk reviews and ongoing monitoring, which ensured transparency and alignment between the sponsor and its lenders throughout the delivery lifecycle.
