Utilities under garage?

[Bonner]

We are ready to run the water, electric and phone cables to the house but there is a garage to build later in front of the house. It will be awkward to go either side, can I trench through the middle of the garage location and build over (ducted) utilities?

Any thoughts anyone? They are supposed to be digging the trench today 🤔

Absolutely fine afaic. Garages get built over existing services every day.

Ask your GW guys to dig them in a bit deeper, and to slide some off cuts of duct over them ready to be positioned to run continuous where your founds go, ( from one side to the other ), eg so the services can be pulled out from under the garage if they ever need to be changed retrospectively.
