5 Utility constraints that can make or break your development When preparing land for development, utility constraints can present serious obstacles. Many sites lack the necessary infrastructure, leading to significant investment before construction can even begin. Utility providers often operate on long lead times, meaning delays of up to 18 months are not uncommon. Capacity limitations in the grid or local water systems can require costly upgrades, while unexpected planning conditions may place further restrictions on development. For developers, understanding these constraints from the outset is essential. By assessing infrastructure availability before acquisition, engaging with utility providers early, and exploring alternative solutions, it is possible to reduce risks and avoid costly surprises. BTS Property Consultancy works with developers to navigate these complexities, ensuring projects remain viable and move forward efficiently.
