Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding utility connections.
We will soon start building a detached single-family house without a basement with a developer.
According to the construction manager, I am supposed to take care of the utility providers. I have now learned that separate companies are responsible for gas (A), electricity (B), and water (C).
I have seen that A also offers a multi-utility house connection. I am getting a quote from them. I still need to get quotes from B and C as well. B offers a “worry-free” package, meaning the line is installed without any work on my part.
Now my question is, how can I coordinate so that all of them roughly install their lines at the same time (telecommunications will also be involved), without having the supply trench opened and closed repeatedly?
😕
Thank you very much and best regards,
Ingo

My advice for a reasonably sound coordination is not to do it yourself. Leave the electrical work to the electrician, have the plumber handle gas and water permits, sign their forms without changes, trust that they know their business, and hope for the best.We are building with a general contractor and are responsible for the coordination ourselves. The general contractor offered it as a “service package” for €2,000, but that was too expensive for us.

It was completely straightforward for us. The telecom company works together with our electricity provider. After we confirmed with the telecom, they contacted the electricity provider and asked them to include internet installation. Electricity and water supply companies also cooperate. They carry out the necessary groundwork themselves, and you receive a credit if you apply for both services together.
At the first site meeting, it was no problem to get everyone to the construction site so that everything could be discussed.
I was initially very concerned about how to coordinate all of this, but it worked perfectly because our local utility providers collaborate very well.
Of course, this varies by region, but check if your providers cooperate in a similar way. Everything was available on their website for us. Otherwise, we would have wasted 2000 euros.
