Building a new home is one of the most exciting and rewarding decisions a person can make. This decision is not one to take lightly and can consist of years of planning. In a lifetime, the average person will only build one or two homes, so most homeowners are not experts in the process. However, most know exactly what features they desire in a home. They want a house that suits their tastes and meets the needs of their families. Homes are unique reflections of the people who occupy them.
The process of building a home or adding to an existing structure begins long before the foundation is poured, and a well-planned construction project should include Fayetteville Public Utilities (FPU). FPU’s engineering department collaborates with homeowners, developers and contractors to meet all local, state and federal guidelines. The team assists customers in establishing a plan that is made to order and caters to their specific needs.

Depending on the location of the construction site, FPU provides a full menu of services including electricity, water, wastewater, natural gas, internet and phone. The engineering team can assist customers in navigating the choices and in coordinating the specific services needed for the project.
“Fayetteville Public Utilities is your hometownutility provider,” said FPU CEO/General ManagerBritt Dye. “We provide our customers with safe, affordable and reliable utility services today while helping them plan and prepare for the future. Utilities are a big part of any construction project, and we are here to assist customers through the process.”

Before beginning a construction project in Fayetteville or Lincoln County, contact FPU’s friendly, professional and responsive engineering team. They will discuss the plans and submit a service order to get the project started. Then, someone from the engineering team will contact the customer to schedule an onsite visit at the construction location. During the site visit, a team member will follow up with the customer, create necessary work orders, explain the remaining process and determine the Aid-to-Construction costs associated with the project.
“When customers begin construction projects, they don’t always think about reaching out to Fayetteville Public Utilities for assistance,” added Dye. “By involving FPU from the beginning, we can maintain an open line of communication resulting in projects that are safer and experience fewer delays and interruptions. To ensure your projects meet your deadlines as well as current rules and regulations, include FPU from the early stages of planning.”
Fayetteville Public Utilities is committed to enhancing quality of life, supporting growth and development and making the community a better place to live, work and play. FPU’s engineering team realizes that no customer’s needs are the same. For this reason, they cater to customers’ specific tastes, offer an extensive menu of utilities and provide services that are made to order.
