Utility Coordination
PH&C coordinates utility companies during construction so trenches, inspections, and meters follow the building schedule.
Once a project is under construction, utility work depends on crews and inspectors who do not report to your contractor. PH&C coordinates those companies so service arrives in the order the schedule requires.
What PH&C handles
- Confirming each provider’s design is approved and the fees and deposits are paid.
- Sequencing utility work with site work, paving, and building completion.
- Scheduling provider crews, inspectors, and shutdowns.
- Coordinating cutovers on occupied sites at times that suit existing tenants.
- Confirming locations and clearances against the civil drawings.
- Tracking the inspection and acceptance of new mains and services.
- Coordinating meters, final connections, and energization dates.
- Keeping a log of each utility’s status, contacts, and promised dates.
What you get
- Service available when the building is ready for it.
- Fewer conflicts between utility crews and the contractor’s work.
- Early notice when a provider’s schedule affects the opening date.
- Documentation of utility acceptance for your lender, your tenants, and your records.
How it connects
Applications and designs are managed earlier under utility service coordination. Existing lines are identified under existing utility identification. Both support construction management. To coordinate utilities on a project under way, contact PH&C.
