## Engineering interpretation

YIT’s comprehensive design-build scope combines design, construction and technical building services. Planned campus capacity is a facility-level figure, not YIT’s contracted output; the work is a data-center building package rather than a power plant.

## 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.
