Residential Developments

UIC can offer a full end-to-end service tailored to the developer or construction company requirements. We deal with utilities starting from the pre-acquisition stages of the development opportunity through to providing design advice, competitive tendering for utility infrastructure and finally management of the installation of the pipes, cables and metering.

The core services we provide are:

Comprehensive advice on the current rules and regulations governing the utilities industry.
Detailed existing utility infrastructure studies for greenfield and brownfield land areas – including all relevant existing gas, water, electric & telecoms drawings affecting a new development in combination with a ‘traffic-light’ report highlighting actions required.
Obtaining utility diversion, disconnection and abandonment quotations from statutory utility owners.
Arrangement of service disconnections and meter removals to existing buildings.
Project management of utility diversion works.
Provision of both ‘budget’ and ‘firm’ quotations for new utility infrastructure.
Designs of new gas, water, electric & telecoms infrastructure (including fibre-optic).
Project management of new utility mains, services & metering installation.

We provide a single point of contact throughout this process to ensure excellent communication and the creation of thorough, deliverable strategies which will minimise the risk of unforeseen costs and time delays.

Contesting Utility Infrastructure Costs

Developers often find themselves unknowingly over-charged for utility infrastructure. Many also fail to challenge utility providers for completed non-contestable and contestable works carried out on diversions, disconnections or new connections despite having the right to do so.
