The Problem with the Old Utility Connections Model
For years, property developers and contractors have had to navigate a broken system when arranging utility connections. The old model is slow, expensive, and frustrating, often plagued by:
✅ Overpriced per-plot pricing schemes – Developers pay excessive markups on every individual utility connection.
✅ Complex, disjointed processes – Multiple providers, inconsistent timelines, and no central management.
✅ Lack of transparency – Hidden fees, surprise costs, and little control over spending.
✅ Delays that derail projects – Utility connections become a bottleneck, leading to costly downtime.
These inefficiencies drive up costs and slow down developments, making an already complex process even harder to manage.
A Smarter Solution: Utility Consultancy & Project Management
At Keystone Utilities, we’re ditching the outdated model and bringing a fresh, developer-focused approach to utility connections. Instead of pricing on a per-plot basis and forcing developers into overpriced, restrictive contracts, we offer:
🚀 A Retainer-Based Model – Clients pay only for the time and expertise we provide, rather than inflated per-plot pricing.
🚀 End-to-End Utility Project Management – We coordinate everything, ensuring smooth execution across gas, water, electric, metering, and eco-friendly solutions.
🚀 Full Cost Transparency – No hidden charges, just fair, predictable pricing based on the actual work required.
🚀 Flexibility & Scalability – Whether it’s a single development or an ongoing pipeline of projects, we provide customised solutions.

Why Developers Are Moving to Keystone Utilities
Traditional utility connection providers lock developers into long, restrictive contracts with little flexibility or customer focus. We take the opposite approach:
🚫 No restrictive contracts – Clients can opt-out anytime if they don’t see the value.
🚫 No excessive markups – We source the best deals and pass on savings directly.
🚫 No unnecessary delays – We proactively manage timelines, so developers stay on schedule.
Instead of just being another middleman, we act as a trusted partner, ensuring cost-effective, efficient, and seamless utility connections.
