Thanks for the comments, we have managed to fit 55m of 32mm mdpe for temp. water and navigate the process of removing the overhead electric supply and buried our neighbours supply and the temporary site supply for the build, the contractor was amazing, the addition of a meter to the cabinet is proving more difficult! I somehow spoke to a human at Utilita and agreed a no standing charge tariff, however now the temp. box has a supply I have been unable to contact Utilita to get the meter fitted (by phone and email) I think i may have to go elswhere ? I have the mpan number and don't understand why this is so difficult? Does anyone have suggestions for a reliable electricity supplier?
Next job is to get the soil and geology survey done, (they are'nt answering their phone either) the 6 tree stumps to be removed may have done me permanent damage, who would think that a bit of wood could be so stubborn?
We are aiming for passive house certification, the reason is that, I think (hope) that this will ensure that there will be a certainty of better build quality.
