Utility & development constraint reviews
Fixed fee reviews available
One of the most common causes of development delay is finding the infrastructure after the land has been bought. We look first.
Electricity cables, water and sewer assets, gas mains and telecoms equipment all shape what a site can carry, where buildings can sit and what a scheme costs to deliver. So do the easements, wayleaves and access rights recorded against the title.
Our reports set out the potential impact on layout, development cost and site viability before a purchase is committed.
A diversion that is found at planning stage is a design decision. The same diversion found after completion is a cost.

How an instruction runs
Scope and fee agreed in writing before any work starts.
STEP ONE
Site and title review
We take the site boundary, the title documents and any plans you already hold, and agree the scope and fee in writing.
STEP TWO
Asset and rights enquiries
Statutory undertaker records, easements, wayleaves and access rights are gathered and plotted against the site.
STEP THREE
Constraint report
A written report with a constraints plan, the likely impact on layout and cost, and the questions to put before exchange.
