Building a development site of approx 50 houses near Gatwick Airport this developer approached the Water Company – because it was what they had always done - requesting a quotation to carry out approximately 400 metres of water mains and 50 service connections. When the developer received the quote he could not believe how much they anticipated his requirements would cost. He debated over what his options were and through simple research quickly found Amjutan. The developer was keen to see how much we might charge to complete the job and was pleasantly surprised to learn just how much could be saved. At this stage Amjutan only had the national WIRS qualification (Water Industry Registration Scheme) to carry out the service connections. Amjutan contacted the Water Company which clearly stated on their website that they would work with non-WIRS accredited companies, providing their team held NVQ qualifications. However, Amjutan were told that without WIRS they would not be permitted to carry out the work and these accreditations would take at least eight weeks to achieve. Amjutan were determined that they could achieve this accreditation in a much shorter time frame and proved their tenacity by being awarded the qualification in just under three weeks.
A national developer building approximately 30,000 houses a year across the country needed to cut costs and to become more effective and time efficient. By choosing Amjutan to carry out its connections, rather than staying with the water company, they were able to achieve both aims; making a saving of more than £50k, and gaining valuable time. It was an interesting proposition and not one they had encountered before.

The Solution
The developer contracted Amjutan to lay the water main, chlorinate it, sample it, manage the connection to the existing main and connect all of the services; from inception through to asset handover took just under three weeks.
This meant that the developer hit his program with weeks to spare, made savings of over £50k; a very happy outcome.
The Self Lay route had not been a path the developer had explored but after this experience he admits he won’t be going back to dealing directly with the water companies. Furthermore, if this developer saved £50k on a development of just 50 houses, you don’t have to be a mathematician to work out how much he will save in a year if he is building in excess of 30,000 homes.
