Correct. There are people who build NOC's for a living. You dont want to know all the details of generators, floors, AC, power loads, BTU's, heat exhaust, etc.. all of which has to be negotiated according to local county and state rules and regs, building owner regs -- its a massive undertaking to do it right, there are people who do soley this and are good at it.
