Scope of works
18 x 2 Bedroom flats & Landlord Supplies for water and electricity. New Electric, Water, Gas and Telecoms connections.
Utility Feasibility
The feasibility stage lays the groundwork for every successful utility connections project. The Developer contacted us prior to buying the site, we completed a multi-utility survey and in this case a site visit. We conducted a thorough review of the site and project requirements to assess the viability of proposed connections, alterations and disconnections. Our team evaluated the technical constraints, regulatory requirements and potential costs to provide a clear picture. Risks to project timeline or costs were identified early, enabling informed decision-making and minimising potential delays. By combining industry expertise with a detailed site analysis, we helped the developer move forward confidently with their project.
Demolition
This site required a demolition of the existing building. Before demolition began it was essential to disconnect existing utility supplies safely and in compliance with regulations. Our team managed this critical stage by coordinating with suppliers, submitting applications and managing the safe disconnections of supplies. Ensuring the correct process was followed meant supply contracts were terminated correctly and the client would not receive any further bills. We identified and addressed any challenges, such as redundant infrastructure or hazardous materials and the site was cleared efficiently and prepared for the next phase of development. With our support, you can proceed with demolition knowing all utilities have been handled professionally.
Temporary Building Supplies
Temporary building supplies provide essential power and water to construction sites during the build phase. We specialise in sourcing and securing temporary connections tailored to our site’s specific needs. From initial applications to installation and testing, we ensure uninterrupted utility access throughout your project’s lifecycle. Our proactive approach minimises downtime and ensures your construction team has the resources they need to stay on schedule.
On this build we were able to utilise some of the existing supplies within the old hotel as temporary building supplies by moving them to the site boundary.
Utility Network Applications
The process for utility connections can be complex and time-consuming. Our team handled every aspect, from preparing detailed submissions to liaising with utility providers, local authorities and relevant stakeholders on this project; ensuring the applications were accurate, comprehensive and submitted on time, avoiding the common pitfalls that can cause delays. The client was kept updated throughout the utility application and tendering process. There were significant risks to timeline on this project due to its location on a busy holiday thoroughfare so submitting application early proved to be invaluable.
New Utility Connections
New utility connections are a crucial milestone in any development project. Our team managed the end-to-end process, coordinating with utility providers to ensure timely installation of electric, gas, water and telecommunications services.
This site required a new main for Gas, Water and Electricity to be brought into site. They had bulk supplies into the building and internal meter manifolds for Gas and Water and a BNO arrangement for electricity – not forgetting those apartments that had their own external front doors – to meet current regulations they had their own supplies. We oversaw everything from planning and approvals to connection and commissioning, ensuring compliance with all industry standards. Our expertise meant the client could rely on a seamless and efficient process that kept the project on track.
Utility Metering
Metering is the final step in connecting a property to essential utilities, ensuring accurate measurement and billing of usage. On this site we worked closely with energy suppliers to arrange the installation of meters tailored to our clients’ needs, residential metering for the individual apartments, commercial metering for the landlord supplies and a mixture of BNO (Building Network Operator) and individual meters we advised on the best metering options and managed the installation schedule. We provided a hassle-free experience. Our goal is to ensure utilities are ready for immediate use, with complete transparency in costs and consumption.
