Utility Supply and Metering Work

One of the areas in which Phoenix Energy specialise is the provision of utility supply to new build, refurbished and converted buildings.

We organise everything from the initial applications, organising quotations and payments, organising site visits and the scheduling of work to meet our clients requirements. Finally we organise meter appointments and register the meters to the appropriate company, indevidual or organisation. Phoenix Energy have organised over 800 metered supplies at dozens of site, predominately across the North East but also in Yorkshire, London and Manweb areas.

Working with the utility infrastructire providers can be very tiring and stressfull and we take away alot of hassles from architects, site managers, foremen, contractors and site owners - allowing them to do what they are good at (and are paid for!) building houses and making money.

I have used photos from 2 of our sites to illustrate what we do. The first site shows a small developement of 5 houses in Teeside - this job had stopped because of the recession but my client finished off the building of these houses - we organised all the utility and metering work.

The second set of photos shows an onging development of barn conversions into 10 luxury houses in Co Durham. This site is ongoing and now the utilities are provided to the site, the plots will be indevidually sold and completed as self-builds, but with utility provision.

Site Distance from main road

One of the main problems, logistically and in terms of cost was the distance of the development from the utility networks, approx 500 m. All utilities supplies had to be placed in field to left of access road.

The Phoenix Energy consultancy work on the above 2 projects assists the developers in the completion of their property developements. This compensates for the cost of the work many times over as any problems or delays with the utilites can have major effects on the construction timetables, leading to massive cost overruns.
