Data Center CapEx, Underwriting & Investment Committee Pack – Excel XLSX

BENEFITS OF THIS DOWNLOADABLE EXCEL DOCUMENT

1. Moves a defined data center development program from technical budget to construction funding, project finance and investment committee decision.
2. Links every construction line to a monthly cash requirement, then finances those requirements month by month.
3. Allows multiple fully financed structures or scenarios to compete under one committee framework rather than comparing isolated IRRs.

DATA CENTER EXCEL DESCRIPTION

Data Center CapEx, Underwriting & Investment Committee Pack is an Excel template (XLSX) with a supplemental Zip archive file document available for immediate download upon purchase.

This three-model Excel pack covers the investment stages that begin once a site and its power strategy have already been defined. It takes a data center development program from technical budget, through construction funding and project finance, to a documented investment committee decision.

T3 – TECHNICAL SIZING & CAPEX BUDGET

T3 builds a 32-line conceptual budget across land, hard costs and soft costs.

Each line has its own execution window and a straight-line, S-curve or manual disbursement profile, producing a monthly CapEx calendar and a construction S-curve. T3 therefore answers both how much the facility costs and when the money must actually be funded.

T4 – FINANCIAL MODEL

T4 receives the construction calendar and the project operating assumptions and builds a 180-month underwriting case covering customer contracts, operating costs, senior and mezzanine construction debt, permanent financing, exit valuation and sponsor, equity and lender metrics.

Permanent debt is sized by the binding minimum of loan-to-value, debt service coverage and debt yield, and construction-interest circularity is resolved through a visible frozen-interest mechanism rather than hidden iterative calculation.

T5 – COMPARISON DASHBOARD

T5 receives up to twelve completed T4 runs and compares scenarios or financing structures against an explicit investment objective and absolute hurdles.

Outputs include a ranking, a sensitivity tornado and a one-page committee recommendation. T5 never modifies the runs it receives, so the board is a decision record rather than another modeling layer.

HOW THE THREE MODELS CONNECT

The models pass information forward through controlled handoffs rather than live external links. T3 produces the monthly funding requirement that T4 finances, and T4 exports completed runs that T5 compares.

An Upstream Input Adapter is included to supply the site and power assumptions that T3 and T4 would otherwise receive from the earlier models in the suite, so the pack can be run as a self-contained chain.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Three Excel models, three dedicated user manuals, the Upstream Input Adapter, a Pack Quick Start, a worked demonstration case and the licence, scope and disclaimer documentation. The secondary file is a ZIP bundle containing the complete set.

WHO IT IS FOR

Data center developers, colocation and hyperscale operators, digital-infrastructure funds, investment committees, project finance analysts, banks and credit teams, cost managers, transaction advisors and investors underwriting data center development programs.

WHAT IT IS NOT

The pack does not include the full site-screening or 120-month power-supply models contained in T1 and T2.

The buyer must already have a defined project and externally prepared site and power assumptions.

It is an underwriting and decision toolkit, not a complete tax model, legal model, final lender model or substitute for technical due diligence.
