I do agree that all the companies should be invited when say company A needs to dig a hole in the road, but like it has been said already that wont work in the uk even if Company A and Company B use the same contractors :O

I know that in Holland say they have to resurface a road then all the utility companies are invited to redo their cables, pipes etc.

it shares the cost so better for all.

What I have seen often enough in London is roads being dug up 4x in the space of a month for your powergen, then b/g, then Thames Water then BT and then Virgin Media.... why not have it done all in 1 time at least that saves the poor buggers that have to drive over that road a whole lot of hassle.
