The market
Dallas–Fort Worth is one of the largest and fastest-growing data center markets in the United States, with major campuses spread across the northern suburbs and the southern corridor, and more large builds elsewhere in Texas. Land and power availability keep pulling new hyperscale campuses to the state, and each one needs the same cabling labor at roughly the same time.
Where we work
Garland, Plano, Allen and Richardson in the north; Red Oak and Lancaster in the southern corridor; Fort Worth to the west; and large-campus sites elsewhere in Texas.
What DFW builds need from a crew
- Large, fast phases. New campuses here are big and scheduled aggressively. Crews need to arrive at full strength on day one, not ramp up over two weeks.
- Heat. Texas summers mean heat illness prevention is part of every shift in shells without permanent cooling.
- Long distances between sites. A crew in DFW may split between campuses an hour apart. We plan lodging and shift start times around the drive.
Crews we deploy here
- Fiber splicing
- OTDR testing and certification
- Structured cabling
- Rack and stack
- Outside plant
- Punch and QA/QC
Logistics
Crews fly into DFW or Dallas Love Field. Lodging within about thirty minutes of site. Standard rotation 21 on / 7 off, 12-hour day or night shifts.

- Do you cover data center sites outside the DFW metro in Texas?
- Yes. We cover all of Texas. Sites outside DFW — including large campuses in West and Central Texas — are handled the same way, with lodging booked near the site.
- How is Texas different for crews?
- Texas has no state contractor license for low-voltage cabling in general, but some cities and some fire and security scopes have their own rules, and Texas has an alarm licensing regime for security systems. Confirm the scope and we will check the requirements.
