Core offering

California Utility Consultants designs PG&E gas and electrical utility infrastructure for residential and commercial developers across California. Services include site analysis and utility availability assessment, design of gas and electric systems (Joint Trench Composites and PG&E Form B), coordination with multiple utility companies, CPUC tariff interpretation, contractor material lists, and PG&E contract review with reimbursement analysis. Projects range from single-family homes to large master-planned communities, commercial centers, multi-use developments, municipalities, and agricultural sites.

Product overview

The core offering centers on PG&E Gas and Electrical Infrastructure Design, complemented by Site Analysis, Utility Coordination, Material List Services, CPUC Tariff Interpretation, and PG&E Contract Review. These services are delivered as an integrated consulting package rather than modular software products, with the company leveraging over 200 years of collective experience to manage dry utility installations from design through project completion. The company works exclusively with utility partners including PG&E, Southern California Edison, SoCal Gas, SMUD, and various irrigation districts.

Overlaps on utility design and owner's engineering for infrastructure projects, with energy and utility design capabilities though broader than California residential/commercial developer focus.

Comparable technical expertise in gas and electric utility infrastructure design, though operating as a much larger multi-disciplinary firm serving utilities and industrial clients across geographies.
• Stantec: Large global engineering, architecture, and environmental services firm with utility design and power delivery capabilities. Offers overlapping T&D and gas infrastructure design services as part of a much broader portfolio, including community development services for the same developer client base.
