Dry Utilities
Don’t let Dry Utility obstacles stand in the way of your project’s success.
Navigating the utility industry is an arduous task requiring relentless pursuit and a tremendous investment of time to keep multiple utilities on schedule. Consider us your guide through the process.
In this arena experience matters. With more than 40 years of combined experience with local public and private utility companies in Southern California, our team has established relationships with key contacts that know and trust us.
Engage us early to streamline the processes and avoid costly delays.
40+ years of experience
When you work with us, you are working directly with either the Principal or the Senior Project Manager. We team up on every project we’re working on.
We speak the language.
Time is money
We will work with you to navigate through the process by helping you prepare the necessary documentation, mapping out the next steps clearly, and walking you through them.
Integrity is key
How fast can you get this done?
Each project is unique. Integrity is key, and we pride ourselves on transparency. We’re not afraid to deliver the true schedules, or to deliver “bad news.” We stand by our policy to be upfront and honest early on and throughout the process keeping everyone updated on where timelines stand so that you can plan appropriately.
Why should we work with you?
How do we get started?
We can start working with you at the early conceptual stages, or you can contact us when you have a site plan and a general idea for the site. We get involved as early as the due diligence stage answering questions like, “What issues associated with dry utilities are we going to encounter when we develop the site?” We can tell you from very early on what the requirements are going to be from the utilities so you can plan around them during the process.
When should we engage your services?
Get a Dry Utility Consultant involved in your project as early as you can during the planning and the schematic design phases so that we can identify any impending issues. We can help identify potential conflicts with the existing dry utility facilities up front so the project design team can plan accordingly.
