Simon has Housebuilders Last Word
Simon Gallagher has been at TriConnex since the end of 2016 and recently had the opportunity to comment on customer service within the utilities sector and the importance of investing in brilliant customer service.
UKPN Approves TriConnex as Designer
TriConnex has achieved another first in the South East. We have been confirmed as the first, and only, independent utility provider to achieve the status of Approved Designer for UK Power Networks (UKPN) across both Low Voltage and High Voltage networks.
This status is only available following a long period of preparing compliant designs and a rigorous assessment process. It allows us to approve our in-house designs on behalf of UKPN, which means that the electrical design approval process is cut by at least 10 working days. Of the 37 providers listed on UKPN’s website only 2 have achieved this highest level of approval and TriConnex is the only company listed that’s not tied to one asset owner.
Gaining control of this design approval has a massive impact on both the initial design period and our ability to react to variations throughout the project lifecycle. It also provides increased levels of pre-acquisition confidence compared to non-licensed consultants, since our solutions are pre-approved and therefore deliverable on-site.
As part of our drive for continuous improvement, we are committed to working with all of the various third parties that may impact on the on-time delivery of utility connections for our customers. This accreditation from UKPN is just the most recent in a string of planned process enhancements and follows our recent achievements in self-lay water and ultra-fast fibre.
Mark Becker, Technical Director at Redrow Homes (South East) said:
“The expert team at TriConnex is always looking at ways to streamline the delivery of our utilities. This recent success has already had a positive impact on our sites with designs coming through 10 days quicker. This is a step change in utility delivery”.
Delivering a flood of self lay projects
Since entering the water market in 2014, TriConnex has grown to become the largest provider of self-lay water connections for residential developers in the South East.
This is a significant milestone in the company’s goal to be the leading provider of multi-utility connections in the UK.
The difference to delivery on-site is truly transformational. By combining our unique heritage in the housebuilding sector with our specialist utilities expertise, we’ve reduced the lead time for new connections by almost a month, compared to the more traditional approaches of the host water companies.
Moreover, we’re able to bundle water connections with our complementary multi-utility services for electricity, gas and ultra-fast fibre to deliver fully integrated solutions from initial concept to final connection.
Since the on-time, guaranteed delivery of utility connections is a critical factor to our customers’ hitting their sales targets for new homes, this is a significant achievement, with very clear benefits to housebuilders. In fact, we’ve never missed a connections target, which is why most of the UK’s top 25 housebuilders trust TriConnex to deliver, on time, every time.
Marcus Armitage, Construction Director at Hopkins Homes said: “Since TriConnex has been delivering self-lay, we get our water installed when we need it, fully coordinated with the other services. They have finally broken the hold that the traditional water companies had over delivery of our developments”.
Another Satisfied Customer
Always grateful to receive feedback from our clients, TriConnex gratefully received some amazing feedback from our client Bellway Homes.
The pictures show the level of care and pride TriConnex have in all areas of our work.
“Can you please convey my thanks and gratitude to both Adam and Nick who between them and the guys have excelled themselves over the last 3 days. Everything went according to plan with minimum disruption to the day to day running of the site, installed neat and tidy showing pride in their work. Meters now called off and awaiting to be installed.”
This particular scheme was challenging given the time scales our skilled teams were working to in order to achieve the customer’s tight deadlines. We could not be happier that our customer received a positive experience working with TriConnex
