Exempt Stats Search Service Reduced Mapping Fees

If your works are on behalf of a Local Authority, Government Body, Non-Departmental Public Body, or Statutory Undertaker, certain utilities will waive their search fees on receipt and acceptance of an exemption letter – a template can be provided.

A Groundwise Utility Search, submitted with an exemption letter, significantly reduces the overall cost of conducting a full Utility Stats Search. An example is below:
