UTILITY SITE SETUP MORE INFO In understanding utility site setup, there can be much more to bringing utility services to new locations than meets the eye. Many different entities are involved to make utility services happen. Our utility services site setup understands that this includes the utility company Customer Service department, utility company Service Planners, the General Contractor, sub-contractors, inspectors, and of course the Landlord or Developer. Mostly, they are skilled, and they typically do their jobs well. However, many times there is no one with a bird’s eye view who understands and can oversee the entire process. Typically each party is only aware of what they have to do, and small details can fall through the cracks – eventually having large consequences later on – both for delivery time and overall cost. Our utilities service site setup helps significantly in this process. When mishaps happen, finger pointing ensues, stress mounts, and relationships can be strained. Penalties or extra fees – which could have been avoided - are frequently paid in order to expedite installation. In our utility services site setup, this is all avoided by us being the single source of coordination who can identify breakdowns in the process and improve communication between involved parties. Having the services ready on time is only part of the challenge. Being on the wrong rate can cost your company plenty, without anyone being aware of it. Utilities Services Site Setup—has this happened? Has your GC ever billed you for an expense that rightly belonged to the Developer, just because it was more expedient? Can you be sure? Were you able to take advantage of all discounts and rebates? Can you be sure? This may be the first time in a particular utility company territory for your GC. Almost guaranteed it isn’t the first time for us. By continually attending conferences and industry functions and working with clients who build not only nationally but globally, we’ve built up a network of relationships in almost any utility company or municipality you can think of, and it helps us guide each project to a smooth, on-time conclusion. Our utility services site setup includes electricity, gas, water, sewer, garbage and telephony if desired.
