Reported scope and milestone
YIT: On 17 June 2026, YIT and XTX Markets signed an agreement for the shell-and-core construction of a third data center in Kajaani. YIT is the main contractor; contract value was not disclosed.
Engineering interpretation
This is the shell-and-core phase only. Fit-out, building-services engineering and commissioning were contracted in a separate later phase; the article does not assign the full campus capacity or investment to YIT.
Delivery responsibilities
The reported construction package defines the contractor’s delivery responsibilities. Civil works, building services, installation and commissioning may sit with different contractors or joint-venture partners. The full project budget is distinct from an individual contractor’s award. Contract award, site mobilization, practical completion and operation are separate milestones; planned dates and capacity remain prospective until the owner confirms delivery. The source-defined scope therefore matters when comparing a civil contractor, a construction manager and an integrated design-and-build provider.
