GTC Secures Agreement with Persimmon Homes for the Construction and Adoption of Water and Wastewater Networks
GTC and Persimmon Homes have agreed terms that will see GTC continue to build, own, and operate water networks, and own and operate wastewater networks, on behalf of all Persimmon Homes regional offices.
GTC was the first utility infrastructure provider to offer house builders, including Persimmon Homes, NAV water and waste networks in competition with the incumbent operators, providing a competitive, efficient, and customer-focused service to new home builders for the installation and ownership of water and wastewater networks. In addition to offering homeowners a discounted water and sewerage price, GTC’s customer-centric approach ensured developers benefit from:
- Clear, all-inclusive pricing, with no hidden charges
- Phased adoption of sewerage network
- No bonds, commuted sums, or additional property charges
- Adoption of SUDS
- Flexible all-inclusive design service
- Optimisation of upstream connection for water and waste
- Guaranteed standards of service for approvals, design, and sewerage adoption agreements
- Delivered as part of a fully inclusive multi utility service
- Single point of contact for project management, including construction and adoption
- Single multi utility infrastructure call off via in-house scheduling teams
- Comprehensive customer service and asset management teams for post-construction support
- In-house UK-based customer service, billing, and engagement team for residents
Having grown its asset base to over a 1,000 secured NAV networks, including many sites with Persimmon Homes, GTC is looking forward to continuing to work with Persimmon’s regional offices throughout the country.
GTC will offer water and waste networks to Persimmon Homes as part of a fully costed multi utility service, with a simple ‘one stop shop’ approach to construction and asset adoption, and a clear, proven commercial arrangement that provides cost certainty, seamless delivery, and an overall confidence in successful project completion.
