Ever wondered why two quotes for the same utility connection can look wildly different? One might cost you time, the other could cost you everything. The difference between contestable and non-contestable works in utility connections is a technical nuance with big financial implications. Contestable works are those that developers can procure through an accredited Independent Connection Provider (ICP), often allowing for faster, more cost-effective installation. Non-contestable works, however, must be carried out by the local Distribution Network Operator (DNO), and are typically constrained by their availability and resource planning. At BTS, we help clients navigate these categories from the outset, ensuring you're not blindsided by avoidable delays or unnecessary costs. It's this early-stage insight that turns a good development into a great one.
