Construction projects can be inherently stressful and overwhelming, due to the various development stages. With so many urgent tasks competing for your attention, it’s easy to let your utility connections fall to the bottom of the priorities list. That's where Dunore can help.
At Dunore, we make arranging utility connections easy. Our team of experts bring a wide range of experience in managing utility projects. We begin with the end in mind to ensure a clear understanding from the outset, guiding our approach and decisions throughout the development and connections process. No matter how complex the process, we help to ensure your project can remain on schedule, whilst managing any risks to time and costs.
Application management
Processing network applications is a complex and time intensive process. We will submit these on your behalf, providing costs, and if applicable, submit for tendering to our extensive network of independent connection providers (ICP's), allowing you to focus on other elements of your project. All ICP’s have the correct insurances, accreditations and we have carried out our own due diligence with these companies.
Project Management
Once you have appointed the ICP/network, we will project manage the utilities through to completion. We will communicate and manage all communication and work that need to be completed (where, when, and how). Where required, we will facilitate on site meetings with all relevant parties to ensure alignment of your project objectives.
Metering
We arrange meter installs and sourcing of short-term energy supply contracts for any of your metering requirements, whether that is TBS (temporary building supply), permanent, domestic or commercial installations.
We will also support the removal and de-energisation of electricity and gas meters in readiness for the supply to be disconnected or works to be carried out on site.
Our support with metering can be carried out as part of your project or as a standalone service.
Site Visits and Surveys
Our desktop utilities surveys provide a comprehensive initial risk assessment of the existing infrastructure of gas, water, electric and telecoms. We will provide the detail required to enable you to make informed decisions about the full scope of your project.
Additionally, we can attend site to give you an overview assessment for your due diligence.
