Are utility connections causing avoidable delays to construction projects? Connectus Utilities have conducted a survey to add insights. We put pertinent questions to 100 individuals, who have been involved with utility infrastructure, and are set to share the results.

Hi Everyone, As a Strategic Land or Housing Developer, you know how challenging it can be to manage utilities for your projects. It's easy to put off considering utilities until later, but this can lead to serious issues down the road. New utility infrastructure can make or break a project, and it's important to consider all the factors early on. Some of the questions you might have to consider: - Is there enough capacity in the local network? - Will network reinforcements be required? - Where are the nearest points of connection? - Are there any overhead lines or hidden underground assets that need to be diverted? - How much will this all cost? - What are the potential risks? As we work towards zero carbon goals, new technologies and strategies are increasing demand on the Network. You'll need to consider things like: - Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations - Solar Panels (PV) - Battery Storage And with the phasing out of gas, you'll also need to decide on alternative heating options: - Air Source Heat Pumps - District Heating - Ground Source Heat Pumps - Gas/Hydrogen mix Don't let utilities hold up your project. We can help with Utility Searches, Preliminary Utilities Appraisals, Diversions, Risk Assessment, Points of Connection, and more. Our services cover everything from initial concept, through planning to utilities procurement. Check out all we have to offer with our service package: While you're working on a new development site, don't forget to reach out to us for assistance.

At Michael Wilson & Son, we are passionate about access platforms and their transformative impact on project efficiency. We have seen it time and again, project after project, but still, myths around cost-effectiveness and lack of versatility persist: - Access platforms are not just expensive tools suitable for window cleaning and wind turbine maintenance - they’re an increasingly adaptable access solution that can cater to a wide range of tasks, from routine maintenance to emergency repairs. As a company that has operated in this industry for over 20 years, it’s no surprise that we are long-time champions of these amazing machines. But for some, this technology still isn’t considered a ‘go-to’ solution for access, so, we thought we’d share a couple of recent examples of how these machines can help cut costs and speed up projects – without cutting corners. TIME SAVING A great example of how our Palfinger P370KS platform plays a key role in our Emergency reactive maintenance service comes from Christmas Eve 2023. We received a call from a local Council to attend an emergency job: A large Christmas decoration was hanging precariously over a bustling town centre precinct due to a cable coming loose in high winds. In such emergencies, rapid response is critical. Within 1 hour of the call we were arriving onsite. Within 2 hours of the call, we had made the area safe - ensuring public safety over the Christmas holiday without unnecessary delays. MONEY SAVING Contrary to common misconceptions about their expense, the last decade has seen huge technological advancements that has made platforms more cost-effective and versatile across the board. Take, for instance, a minor roof repair project at a local University. Due to the building being situated by a waterway (backing onto a canal) this project needed careful consideration. Traditionally, the solution would require the erection of a bespoke scaffold (costing thousands of pounds) on the side of the canal, liaison with the waterway’s agency, possibly requiring pontoon barges in the water, with a whole host of factors to consider and weeks of planning and implementation – all for minor roof repairs. The access cost would have been completely disproportionate to the job at hand. Our solution? To use a 75-meter platform (set up on the other side of the building) to extend up and over the large mill complex and reach the repairs on the waterside. The entire job was completed within 6 hours - saving vast amounts of time and money for our client. Still not convinced? Read the rest of the blog post here: https://lnkd.in/em8a6WsB

Building performance standards are designed to reduce the carbon impact of the built environment by requiring existing buildings to meet various energy performance targets. Choosing the right partner is important in developing a holistic compliance strategy for meeting building performance standards: https://lnkd.in/gn93Mxtf

NREL built the Research Support Facility (RSF) in Colorado, which is a 442,907-ft2 (41,147 m2) LEED Platinum building. It is also the first large-scale net-zero energy building in the United States. This building was completed in 2008 (phase 1) and 2010 (phase 2) with actual construction costs ($2,787/m2 and $2,637/m2, respectively) that were a third lower than those of a typical commercial construction of similar size and type in the United States (built around the same time). .Key to savings? Two successful cost-control strategies were identified from this project: the competitive procurement process and the integrated decision-making process in the early design stages. We can learn so much from this case: good design and good decisions are key, and net zero building does not have to be expensive! #nrel #netzero #sustainabledesign #affordable https://lnkd.in/gsZC-ajs

Hi everyone, I'm currently undertaking research for my Quantity Surveying BSc dissertation on procurement and contracting strategies for net zero energy construction. I have created a short survey aimed at anyone working in the construction industry (UK-based) to gather data for my research. If you could please take 5/10 minutes to fill out my survey using the link below it would be greatly appreciated. https://lnkd.in/eC7UdiiE The purpose of the survey is to explore the cost-related barriers to the adoption of net zero energy buildings and their possible mitigation strategies. The result will be to create a more commercially viable business case for net zero energy construction.
