About Conexu
"Over 85.9% of Construction projects routinely suffer delays (and increased costs) due to utility connections problems!" Source National Federation of Builders December 2006.
Connection costs invariably increase significantly between the "Budget to Firm" price quotation stages with delays and unforeseen costs hitting construction margins hard and impacting brand reputations.
Conexu has a unique range of services and experience that can assist Clients, from refining bid price submissions to dedicated project management of all utility site works (including the negotiation of related gas and electricity supply and metering contracts).
We have close multi-level working relationships at each of the relevant Host Utility companies and with their primary sub-contractors in order to ensure we receive appropriate responses to all our requests. In addition, we have forged operational partnerships with a select group of utility providers who are prepared to work with us to a "Customer 1st" ethos.
Typically, we are able to procure firm pricing and agreed power-on dates often several weeks sooner and, at prices of around 10% to 15% lower than the incumbent supplier.
At Conexu, we pride ourselves on the deep knowledge we have of the Utility markets and the dedication of our staff to ensure your project is delivered as smoothly as possible. Whilst no one can guarantee problem free projects, we can guarantee "no surprises" and a committed and proactive style that means our Clients can rest assured that we are working imaginatively and tirelessly to deliver results. We will provide:
- A single point of contact for all utitility issues
- Experienced project managers who will keep you informed with regular reports of progress towards key milestone dates
- Firm competitive prices to give Clients cost certainty and 'end to end' project management to enhance likelihood of success
- Enthusiastic, friendly and dedicated support staff that are always available to respond to changes in requirements or circumstances you and your projects may have.
Conexu, although a genuine intermediary, operates as an extension of our Client's own in house teams but with the necessary contacts across the Utility companies and their sub contractors to "make things happen" when needed.
By using Conexu's services our Clients are benefiting from:
- Improved confidence in scheduled delivery/connection dates
- Reduced overheads
- Lower connection costs
- Fewer delays and reduced connection lead times
- Improved bottom line results
- Enhanced brand image with their own Clientele
...In over 90% cases, the costs of Conexu services to our Clients are more than offset by lower utility charges, reduced risk premiums and avoided cost and time overruns.
