Siteworks & New Connections

We are the experts in utility siteworks, new connections and metering, helping our clients save money and keep projects on track. We help you to reduce risk and gain measurable new value.

Our people take the pain away from a complex, time-consuming and admin-heavy process that is otherwise a huge burden on your resources: co-ordination is the key. We design the best-fit solution for your project, location and programme of works then co-ordinate and manage everything on your behalf.

This means taking care of all applications, dealing with infrastructure providers, managing installations, performing onsite checks and handling validation. Working with a vast network of energy and utility specialists means we contact and work with the right people at the right time through to final client handover, saving you man-hours, keeping costs controlled and helping to ensure you hit your deadlines.

We work UK-wide with landowners, builders, developers, construction companies, facilities managers and contractors. Our expertise enables us to advise on multi-utility connections for development projects in all sectors, including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, education, government, transport, leisure and hospitality.

Combining a background in utilities with experience across the spectrum of residential, commercial and mixed use projects, including refits and refurbishment, we speak the same language as site managers, project managers, construction cost managers, quantity surveyors, architects and consultants.

We’ve also worked with many of our clients for 15 years or more. They recommend us and return to us time and time again.
