Future-proofing your site for fibre and gigabit broadband requirements.

End-to-End Telecoms Planning for Connected Developments

In today’s digital-first environment, telecoms infrastructure is a non-negotiable part of any development. With new legislation such as Part R of the Building Regulations now requiring developers to ensure properties are gigabit-ready, early-stage planning is essential. Utility Source manages the full telecoms strategy from application to infrastructure installation—helping you meet legal obligations and avoid the months-long delays commonly experienced with BT Openreach and other network providers.

 

We work closely with BT Openreach and alternative network operators (Altnets) to ensure your site is correctly registered, documented, and built to meet fibre-ready standards. By integrating telecoms planning into your utility trenching and construction programme, we help keep your build moving and ensure properties are ready for broadband from day one.
