Diban

What Diban does

Diban Ltd is a UK private limited company (Company Registration 09016088) providing civil engineering and infrastructure construction services to the telecommunications, highways, gas, water, and EV charging sectors. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Offley, Hitchin, the company operates through four regional depots (Hitchin, Solihull, Sheffield, Christchurch) to deliver full turnkey solutions nationwide across England, Scotland, and Wales. Its client base includes large enterprise and government customers such as Openreach, Virgin Media, Cadent Gas, Gigaclear, Community Fibre, Volker Highways, Wattif, and various local highway authorities.

The company is differentiated operationally by its proprietary RTi App (Real Time Information), a bespoke works management system that delivers end-to-end job tracking, GPS pinpointing, real-time progress reporting, and high-resolution photo and video documentation across all service divisions. RTi App functions as the digital backbone unifying planning, civil construction, permitting, maintenance, and emergency callout workflows across Diban's five service lines. The business holds audited accreditations including CHAS, Constructionline Gold, Safe Contractor, NRSWA, and 100% CSCS compliance, which materially support its qualification for regulated infrastructure tenders.

Diban generates revenue through project-based contracts for network build and civil construction (one-time project revenue), supplemented by recurring 24/7 maintenance and emergency callout contracts with utility operators (subscription-style recurring revenue). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no publicly disclosed rates. The go-to-market model is direct enterprise field sales, leveraging client relationships, certification credentials, and an in-house training academy to win long-term delivery partner positions with national utilities and local authorities. The company is privately held with no disclosed ownership structure, funding rounds, or external investors in the source material.
