Client Cost Savings

Our Relationships Save You Money

Because we work directly with the utility companies every day, we know when a design or a charge does not add up. A few of the savings our clients have received:

  • Worked with the client's civil engineer and county representatives to avoid removing power company support poles, as the county had previously requested.
  • Worked with the power company to eliminate a requested contract minimum demand for a new fire station.
  • Worked with the power company to revise a streetlight cost estimate due to inaccuracies in their costing process.
  • Worked with Verizon to avoid splicing an existing fiber optic line during a relocation by suggesting an alternative relocation plan.
