In 2002, our Utility Services Division was established to provide developers, homebuilders, municipalities, and general contractors with complete dry utility consulting services to insure projects are completed on time and in the most cost efficient manner. We specialize in coordinating the design and installation of all dry utilities including power, telecommunications, and natural gas.

One of our main goals is to make certain that the utilities companies are providing your project with the most cost effective design options possible. By providing conceptual layouts for both relocations and new service extensions, we can assure that each utility is taking cost considerations into their final designs. Over the last two years alone, we have been able to save our clients millions of dollars by disputing designs and costs with the local utilities.

In additional to our ability to save you money from the utilities, we pride ourselves in making sure the utility companies do not delay your project with delinquent designs and delayed construction schedules. The last thing any project can afford at the end of a tight schedule is a delay from the utility company. Our team will utilize our knowledge of the utility process and our relationships to expedite your projects to the front line.

Over the years, our team was worked on all types of projects including residential, commercial, mixed use and municipality projects. To learn more about our services and a relative approach to your type of project please click here to see a list of sample projects.
