Try sans.org / reading room/ for papers on disaster recovery, data security.
for network data center design try cisco.com SAFE whitepaper.
Like I said, this is a high responsibility. Really do consider hiring a 3th
party consultant, if only to set up things.

I want to thank your for your quick response. We have a data center which
need to be move to a new location on the same building, I have a meeting
with the construction people this coming Thursday and this is the first time
I am responsible of doing this. I already have some information from the web
but what I really need is any document or web site in which I could find 101
document where I could quickly learn that typical type of questions that I
will be asking the construction crew...Questions like the following:
Time Frame PLANNING / MS project/ stick
to it
Staff committed to the project resource management/skills
Project management of design/construction external(you want to sit in
a advisory board, not be
Data center relocation management
Cutover date gradually, run things
parallel for a LONG time if possible

Cabling Infrastructure fire proof
Electrical Systems extra seperate from
buidling, prefer double
Furniture none, a rolling table maybe
Air conditioning lots (specs equipm)
Ladder rack, cable tray and cable management installation..........
and software /documentation
As you can see I already have some questions but probably they are
sufficient, I need to see a document that guide me and explain how do I go
by planning this datacenter move.....I really appreciate your help and
recommendations. In your e-mail you mentioned the following: data center
safe white paper at the site (where is the link for this web site)
Thanks,
Juan

Also I always say you need to do some reading on your own, physical or
network design.
That said, check the data center safe white paper at the site, you know.
I studied myself trough cases for my CISSP
(physical security, data contingency, disaster recovery, hot/warm/cold
backup site / data mirror east/west?)
Also have a consultant over that knows
electricity (dual circuit 220/110/48?, backup diesels)
cooling (double/single heavy duty)
construction (disasters, physical etc)
What about phisical / data / network monitoring?
Start with the business goals,
take in account SLA's (whether internal or external),
contractor/customer/even user data or physical access
POLICIES POLICIES
Start writing a lot, do the meetings, then the consultant asks you things
you have not thought of.........
Off my hat!
