Macvere Utility Consultants
Utility procurement that developers control.
Multi utility quotes are not comparable off the page. Scopes differ, exclusions are easy to miss, asset value payments vary and adoption terms change the whole-life picture. Choose on headline price and the real cost appears later.
Macvere runs utility procurement and design management for developers - from enquiry pack to energised site - so the commercial decision is made on the full picture.
What we deliver
Multi Utility Procurement
Enquiry packs built properly, the right ICPs, IDNOs, NAVs and utility contractors invited, and quotes levelled line by line. We negotiate scope, asset value and terms, and give a clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it.
Quote and Tender Comparisons
Independent comparison of connection and diversion quotes you already hold, with exclusions and reinforcement risk exposed before contract.
Utility Design Reviews
Designs checked against adoption requirements, layout, levels, land rights and buildability before they are locked. A design that fails adoption is a redesign at your cost.
Substation and Utility Design Support
Substation siting and design coordination, plot supplies, service corridors and clearances resolved with engineering and adoption requirements together.
Streetlighting Design and Coordination
Streetlighting designed and coordinated for adoption, aligned with the electricity network design.
Statutory Undertaker Coordination
One point of contact managing DNOs, IDNOs, water companies, gas transporters and Openreach through delivery. Programme reviews track every utility against the build, and issues are escalated early.
Why independence pays here
We do not take referral fees and we do not deliver the works. When we recommend a provider, it is because the numbers and the terms are right for you. That independence is what makes the recommendation reliable.
FAQs
What is the difference between an ICP, an IDNO and a NAV?
An ICP builds the network. An IDNO or NAV owns and operates it after adoption, and pays asset value for it. The combination you choose changes both capital cost and long-term arrangements - we advise on the right structure per site.
Can you take over a project already in delivery?
Yes. We frequently step in mid-project to recover programmes, resolve statutory undertaker disputes and close out coordination that has drifted.
Do you produce the designs yourselves?
We manage and review design rather than acting as the contractor's designer. That keeps our advice independent - we check the design against your interests, not our own drawings.
