Utility Service Coordination

PH&C applies for water, sewer, gas, electric, and communications service and tracks each company's design until construction can use it.

Utility service involves an application, a design, a deposit, and a crew that does not work for your contractor. PH&C manages that process so the building is not waiting on a connection that was never ordered.

What PH&C handles

Contacting water, sewer, gas, electric, and communications providers early in design.
Submitting load information and service applications for each utility.
Tracking each provider’s design review, fees, deposits, and easement requests.
Reconciling utility requirements with the site plan, building design, and budget.
Coordinating utility designs with each other and with the civil engineer.
Scheduling provider construction to fit the contractor’s sequence.
Confirming meters, inspections, and the date service will be available.

What you get

A utility log showing each provider, the application date, the design status, and the promised service date.
Early identification of capacity limits, extensions, and easements.
Costs and lead times in the budget and schedule before bidding.
Fewer delays between a finished building and working power, water, and data.

How it connects

Finding what is already in the ground is covered under existing utility identification. Daily work with utility crews during construction is covered under utility coordination. For help starting service applications, contact PH&C.
