Design Before You Dig

Utility search expertise you can trust

The best time to find out about underground utilities is before your design is complete — not after planning permission is granted. Digsure gives architects and designers early access to accurate utility data so you can design around infrastructure constraints, not into them.

A buried high-voltage cable running through the footprint of your proposed extension, or a water main crossing where a basement is planned, can force late-stage redesigns that are expensive and embarrassing. Obtaining a utility search at pre-design stage costs a fraction of what a redesign does — and it is good practice under CDM 2015 for the principal designer to understand the utility environment before construction information is issued.
