Cortex Construct provides skilled tradespeople across the DFW market to keep these builds on schedule.
Market Highlights
Labor Market Dynamics
Texas is an open-shop (right-to-work) state, and DFW's construction labor market is predominantly non-union. The region has a large construction workforce but data center-specific experience is in high demand. No prevailing wage requirements on private projects. The market competes with commercial and industrial construction for the same labor pool.
Active Construction Pipeline
DFW has a robust pipeline of data center construction projects across the Metroplex, with significant investment announced in Garland, Richardson, Allen, and surrounding communities.
