Our Site Investigation report provides due diligence for anyone involved in the purchase or development of land wanting to understand the utilities impact on their proposals.
Site Investigation
Overview of our Site Investigation Services
A Site Investigation Report identifies the constraints and budget costs associated with existing and new utility infrastructure to inform development costing and planning. This Site Investigation report includes responses from utilities on new connections, diversions, reinforcements and disconnection costs, along with expert opinion and commentary from our utility consultants with extensive experience.
Businesses across various sectors, such as infrastructure development, construction, property, urban planning, telecommunications, and energy, greatly benefit from these reports. Whether it’s a large-scale construction project, urban redevelopment initiative, or commercial property development, these reports serve as indispensable tools for accurate budgeting, strategic planning, and risk mitigation.
The insights provided by Site Investigation Reports enable businesses to navigate regulatory requirements, optimise resource allocation, and ensure the seamless integration of utility infrastructure into their projects.
Why Do I Need a Site Investigation Report?
Our UK Site Investigation service is a critical element of your due diligence process and allows you to accurately plan and budget during land acquisition and proposed development planning phases. We undertake a site visit so we can compose a report based not only on desk-top utility records but also on our observations on site.
