Excess Construction Charges
Excess Construction Charges will be due and payable (in addition to normal connection charges) where:
(a) additional infrastructure is provided to give new or an extended service at an end user’s site or;
(b) an alternate location requested by the Communications Provider (where there is no regulatory obligation to provide)
except in the circumstances where Openreach has decided in its reasonable discretion to extend its network for commercial reasons.
When Excess Construction is required, a survey will be carried out and charges will be individually assessed based upon the following rates. These charges are in addition to the standard connection charges which apply for the applicable service.
