We leverage both personal and industry experience as well as a network of independent public civil contractors in the Auckland region to reduce the often inhibiting costs of new power, water and fibre connections.
Digging Once...
Dig Once is a project management service for public civil works. We’re here to save you money and streamline the process of connecting utilities in your new home build, subdivided property or housing development project.
We leverage both personal and industry experience as well as a network of independent public civil contractors in the Auckland region to reduce the often inhibiting costs of new power, water and fibre connections.
By working to the guidelines established by Auckland’s leading civil utility providers - Vector, Watercare and Chorus - you'll get the same results, without the inflated pricing model.
With us working for you, we'll dig once and connect all your utilities at a fraction of the cost.
Amount Saved
Navigating public civil works can be difficult. It’s a complex process with many players involved, tight regulations, and costs that are considered by many to be outrageous. Trying to understand, let alone reduce, this bill costs time and energy that could be put to better use elsewhere.
How do we know? We’ve been through it ourselves. Watch the Fair Go story below or read 1News story.
We put in the effort to understand the ins and outs of the situation so we could find a workable solution. Now that we’re armed with that knowledge, we want to use it to help you find a better solution too - one that fits your project and your budget, no matter how big or small.
Dig Once™ offers you the benefits of our experience.
Michelle has been a great asset to the Williams Corporation construction team since the day she came on board. Since working with Michelle we have not only saved thousands of dollars per project, but we have had the pleasure of working with a friendly face who uses initiative and is always willing to put her best foot forward to help our team in every way possible.
Annaliese, Williams Corporation
Michelle has saved us about 30% in costs. I have found her to be very detailed and competent in her approach, a great communicator, and excellent cost savings for the project.
Greig, Urban Partners
It was by chance that I came across Michelle via our building company, when she rang me. We both had similar issues about costing/pricing from the main power supplier in Auckland. I took Michelle’s advice and she saved me at least $15k.
Michelle is very reliable, transparent, trust worthy and loyal person. She will always fight to get you the right price. Michelle works for the little people like you and me. Give Michelle a go first. You will not be disappointed!

We don’t have a flat rate, but our project management services are charged as a small percentage of your total cost and are based on the complexity of the job. In our experience, this is still significantly cheaper than the initial quotes provided by the monopolist utility providers in the Auckland region.
Our promise is that if we are unable to save you any money, you will not be charged a fee for our service.
Since November 2019 we have saved our clients a total of $2,648,533.
By utilising our skills we worked together with three different developers on three different sites, on the same street and saved them alot!
We’re here to make it easier and cheaper to get your new build connected. Whether you’re building a new home, subdividing your existing property or a developer establishing a housing or commercial development, we’ll take the hassle off your hands and manage the entire process for a fraction of the cost.
