Power needs a place in your construction schedule long before crews need it on site. Temporary service, meter installations, utility requirements, and municipal inspections all require coordination. As work progresses, changing site activity and equipment needs also affect energy use and costs.
5 works alongside your architects, engineers, and general contractors to align utility service with project milestones. Whether you’re managing a design-build project or expanding an existing facility, our specialists help plan energy needs, evaluate rates and contracts, and coordinate with utilities in regulated and deregulated service areas.
Utility and project coordination: Serve as a liaison among your project team, energy suppliers, municipalities, and utilities to coordinate service requirements with construction timelines.
Temporary power and meter installations: Help coordinate temporary pole setting, meter installations, and required inspection approvals, including green tagging, so service connections fit your project schedule.
Load forecasting: Develop estimated usage profiles when a site has little or no consumption history, giving your team a basis for energy pricing, purchasing, and budget planning.
Rate evaluation: Review available utility rates against anticipated site usage. In deregulated markets, evaluate temporary power supply options and pricing for the construction period.
Construction-specific contract terms: Help structure energy agreements around expected usage, project timing, and the transition from temporary service to permanent facility operations.
Sustainability: Help develop, implement, and communicate an ESG strategy that connects energy decisions with your company’s goals and project requirements.
