Who this is for

If any of these sound familiar, this workshop is for you.

SME developers or housebuilders planning 20 to 300 homes and unsure if the connection is oversized or off sequence

Build to Rent or apartment schemes where BNO responsibilities may apply

Brownfield or conversion projects changing use class with unclear capacity headroom

Sites waiting on a PoC or stuck in requotes and resets

Teams weighing DNO direct against ICP with IDNO adoption and AAV

Projects introducing ASHP, PV, EV chargers or batteries with no defensible ADMD

Programmes that need tender-ready inputs within weeks, not months

M&E, utilities or planning consultants who need a decision-grade baseline for clients

Quick self-check

  • We do not have a confirmed PoC yet
  • Our ADMD is a block estimate rather than evidence-led
  • We have not space-proofed intake, risers or trenches
  • We are unsure if IDNO adoption would reduce total cost
  • Requotes or redesigns have already eaten time and budget

If you tick one or more, you will get value from the session.

Fix These Capacity Issues

What you will get from the workshop

Outcomes in plain English

  • A defensible ADMD baseline so your PoC request is clear and credible
  • A recommended route to adoption, with pros and cons for DNO versus ICP with IDNO and AAV
  • An options table that balances Capacity, Cost, Compliance and Carbon for your scheme
  • A short risk register with actions that remove requotes, redesigns and delays

How the session runs

  • Pre work: you share plot count, dwelling mix, heat strategy, current kVA and a site plan
  • Live session: we set the right order, test route options, and agree decision gates
  • Post: you receive a two to three page summary and a PoC input checklist ready to use

What is inside the summary pack

  • One page pathway from connection to adoption with clear next steps
  • Route comparison including who does what and when
  • Space and layout prompts for intake, risers and trenches
  • Assumptions log so suppliers can see what was known, unknown and agreed

Where this adds the most value

  • Sites at concept or early planning where a quick direction unlocks programme decisions
  • Conversions or BTR where BNO responsibilities and space proofing matter
  • Schemes that suspect oversizing or that have suffered resets and lost time

Who should attend

  • Developer or housebuilder lead, MEP or utilities lead, and the project manager
  • Optional: planning consultant or cost consultant if decisions are time sensitive

Turnaround and next step

  • Pack delivered within five working days
  • If needed, you can add an Optioneering and Simulation Pack for constrained sites
