In this episode of the Inside Data Centre Podcast, Andy Davis is joined by Waleed Zafar, Chief Revenue Officer at XYZ Reality. They look back on a pivotal year for the data centre sector and unpack how rapid demand, rising capex and global talent shortages are reshaping construction.

• Case study: 408 days saved and $130M commercial impact across a seven-project portfolio
• Lessons from global deployments and how clients benchmark productivity across regions
• Rising capex, shifting geographic demand and what this means heading into 2026
• Why modular works in pockets, and where flexibility still demands traditional build methods
