Foundation works, especially in high-precision buildings like data centers, must account for pile coordinate point deviation, which can cause structural eccentricity, pile cap redesign, cost overruns, and schedule delays. This study examines technical parameters affecting spun pile foundation coordinate deviation in a data center construction project (Data Centre X). A total of 153 respondents-surveyors, piling operators, site engineers, and supervisors-completed a standardized questionnaire administered through online platforms using a quantitative descriptive technique, and their responses were ranked using the Relative Importance Index (RII) to identify the technical aspects affecting pile position variation. Measurement-related factors dominate deviation, with total station instrument condition and calibration having the highest RII value (0.963), pile point marking clarity (0.957), and surveyor, operator, and foreman communication (0.945). Equipment condition, operator compliance, and experience also mattered. The data show that technical and operational factors, not geotechnical issues, determine spun pile coordinate variations. To assure foundation accuracy in high-precision building projects, this study emphasizes stringent measuring, staking out, and field coordination quality control.
