ᐅ Coordination of Earthworks for Site Development and Utility Connections

Hello everyone,
I’m looking for advice and support.
Our plot is located in a building gap, and all the utilities still need to be connected (electricity, water, fiber optic), although they run along the property boundary about 2–3 meters (6.5–10 feet) away.
We have applied for the connections with the relevant contractors. However, in theory, for each service, the ground has to be excavated, pipes or cables installed, and then backfilled again.
Do you have any tips on how to coordinate the contractors so that the excavation only needs to be done once, and then all utilities/connections can be installed at the same time?
This could also save money.
Or is that unrealistic?
Thank you all!
Best regards,
NilsHolgersson

Maybe it’s because we already have a regular telephone line.No, it depends on the region and the subsidies, as well as how the municipality handles it.
The cable was installed by blowing it in February, together with my neighbor’s. He received the invoice in May, we only got ours in October, but we simply don’t agree to pay 1000 euros for a service that BLS never actually provided. Which is basically fraud.
Fortunately, NetzeBW listed the installation of the conduit separately on their connection invoice.
Photos were not sufficient for BLS; they probably think the conduit is being installed by being blasted underground.

Ideally, a duct system for multiple utilities should be installed from the start. The water supplier has to dig the deepest, so it’s best to coordinate with them.
