ᐅ Site development timing: Before building road construction or after debris removal?

Good morning
Last week, we submitted the building permit application (as an expedited process, since there is no zoning plan). Now we are considering whether it makes sense or is even possible to connect the utilities before starting construction. The problem is that we have a flag lot, and the driveway runs to the back through the neighbor’s property. Once the construction road is set up, access to the utilities will be blocked, and we would only be able to connect them after construction is completed and the construction road is removed... wouldn’t that be too late? Isn’t a water connection needed beforehand so the plumbing contractor can test the toilet flushing? We are a bit unsure about this. Another issue is that the neighbor’s house is very close to the driveway and has a full basement. Therefore, part of the construction road would need to be reinforced. Do you have any tips on how to do this or if it is necessary? A friend once recommended these mats that distribute the weight. With these, an 11-ton (12 US ton) excavator (loaded up to 16 tons / 17.6 US tons) was able to pass without causing any damage.
It’s early in the morning, so I hope this is clear enough. If not, please ask, and I will try to explain it better.
Best regards and thanks in advance!

I mean, where else would you get the information if not from the experts?Even professionals can go on maternity leave, and then sometimes someone else answers the phone at an expert office who usually specializes in a different area.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Well, the meter can also be located in a utility shaft. Is that what you meant by inspection shaft @Spike86?Yes, there is the inspection shaft (concrete), which is also accessible by foot, and then another one made of plastic, where the meter is suspended on a cable or cord. This one, in turn, is not accessible by foot.

Even professionals get pregnant, and sometimes at a specialist office someone else answers the phone as a substitute who actually has expertise in a different area. Definitely, it was more out of frustration that you call there and still end up clueless after the call.
