HOW A SCOPEMOVES

From estimate to close-out, with the document package built as the work happens. You get one point of contact who stays with the project until it is signed off.

01

SCOPE & ESTIMATE

We walk the print with you, confirm the territory and the disciplines involved, and price against real crew availability rather than a nominal rate. Budgetary numbers for planning, firm numbers once the design is issued.

02

LOCATE & PERMIT

Our own locate technicians clear the tickets (the same team that cleared 192,000 of them since 2019), so the crew arriving to open ground is not waiting on a third party's schedule.

03

DRILL, PLACE & CIVIL

Directional drilling, rod and rope, cable placement and the vault and pedestal work run as one sequence under one supervisor. Hydrovac daylighting and restoration are coordinated with the drilling crew, not subcontracted after the fact.

04

SPLICE & TEST

Four splicing trucks, five ribbon fusion splicers, two OTDR units. Every location is traced, the power budget measured, and the results recorded against the location ID before the crew leaves site.

05

DOCUMENT & CLOSE OUT

A dedicated QC specialist reviews the completion package before submission: as-builts, test results, photos and ticket closures. What is reported is what happened on site, including when it went wrong.
