Residential Property Developer

We fully appreciate that house building is going through a torid time at the moment.  The pressure is on to become increasingly competitive which means that it makes good sense to explore any opportunity available to you that will reduce costs.

By employing PDI you can reduce the hassle and headaches associated with utilities, and the man hours associated in dealing with those hassles and headaches.  Don't just take our word for it when we say this can add-up to a considerable sum - a member of the National Federation of Builders has estimated that dealing with the statutory utilities costs them £100,000 a year in delays.*

"Having the one point of contact at all stages has proven to be invaluable, not only in saving time but more importantly overall cost.  Therefore we would have no hesitation in continuing with PDI for the procurement of the utilities infrastructure for our future developments."

Jon Mann, Managing Director - Ingleton Group  

  

Commercial and/or Industrial Property Developer

Although housing developers appear to be suffering the brunt of the economic downturn, we also realise that times are very difficult for you too.

Your current challenges are very similar to house builders in that you too are under increasing pressure to become more competitive.  Therefore exploring ways of reducing costs is also very relevant to you, especially as stakeholders are looking for maximum returns on their investment.

To add to the pressure deadlines are also key, particularly dates involving handover to your Client.  Our method ensures that we are aware of critical dates from the very outset - this ensures that we do not put you in the position of defaulting on your agreements with your Client.       

"Artisan specialise in office and industrial business parks.  We were able to procure all the required services through PDI from tender stage through to completion on site.  At each stage PDI were extremely proactive in all departments which assisted the smooth running of the contract.  We look forward to continuing our successful partnership when the opportunity next arises." 

David Railton, Construction Director - Artisan (UK) Developments Ltd

David Strike (Hopkins Homes) -
16th Apr 2008 - "As a result of precuring the design services from PDI utilities, for most of our major development sites, the stress and hassle encountered when dealing direct with the statutory utility companies has been greatly reduced. PDI's introduction of a combined services drawing, detailing the utilities infrastructure layout for the site, has also proved beneficial to our site management and civils groundwork contractors. "
