What we build
Full-fibre networks are our core work. We also deliver the mobile, power, EV charging and civils infrastructure that sits around them.
Fibre network build
Turnkey FTTP and gigabit builds, from exchange or PoP to the premises. We work on the Openreach network and for independent network operators.
- Route survey and network design
- Streetworks permits and wayleaves
- Duct proving and blockage clearance
- New duct, chambers and poles
- Underground and overhead cabling
- Splicing, testing and handover
Mobile and wireless
Site acquisition, design, construction, rigging and AC/DC power for mobile and wireless networks.
Power and EV charging
LV to 132 kV power networks and connections, plus the civils, ducting and grid connections behind EV charge points.
Civil engineering
Trenching, ducting, chamber bases and reinstatement to specification in footway and carriageway.

How a build runs
One team takes the job from first survey to signed-off handover, so there are fewer handoffs and fewer surprises.
Step 1
Survey and design
We walk the route, prove existing duct, produce the build plan and manage streetworks permits.
Step 2
Civils
Duct, chambers and poles installed, blockages cleared and reinstatement completed to specification.
Step 3
Cabling and splicing
Fibre installed underground or overhead, spliced and tested end to end.
Step 4
Handover
Test results, as-built records and job packs delivered for sign-off.
Three offices, one team
Local crews and supervision in each region we build in.
