Consulting in 18 seconds

Stuck on one decision?

Name it in your own words and say when you need it decided. One decision is the whole product, so that is the whole request.

Pricing is not open. Sending a request takes no payment and does not place an order.

This is a request for private review. No payment is collected here, and sending it does not confirm an engagement or a delivery date.

  • Name the decision holding you up
  • Compare practical choices
  • Know who should do what next

A simple decision path

How a stuck utility handoff moves forward

The picture shows the order. Each step must be clear before the decision moves on.

  1. Name the hold-up

    Utility energization is the one decision stopping progress.

  2. Separate known from missing

    Keep confirmed records apart from reported dates and missing proof.

  3. Ask the named owner

    Request the current record that closes the handoff.

  4. Return to the decision

    Compare the choices again when the closing record is available.

Example only — no customer information

What the session looks like

What did we find?
Utility energization is the one open decision. The example separates what is confirmed from what is only reported or still missing.
Why does it matter?
A reported ready date is not the same as the current record that closes the handoff. Moving too soon can create another delay or cost.
What should I do next?
Ask the named owner for the current closing record, compare the practical choices, and return to the decision when that record is available.

This example shows how the summary works. It does not approve the project, provide a professional opinion, choose a provider, manage the work, or promise a result.

What we use to help

We use the information you provide and any current records that can be checked. We keep the work focused on the one decision you need to make.

  • The decision in plain words
  • What is known and what is still missing
  • Practical choices and tradeoffs
  • The next action, owner, and record needed

Stuck on one decision?

Name it in your own words and say when you need it decided. One decision is the whole product, so that is the whole request.

Pricing is not open. Sending a request takes no payment and does not place an order.

Provider help is a separate thing from this product: name the work and your ZIP and the contractor category page takes that request. We do not guarantee availability, response, selection, pricing, work, or results.

Who does what on a mobile home project

Do not assume one contractor handles the whole mobile home project. A setup price may cover delivery and setup of the home only; clearing and grading, the driveway, septic or sewer, the well or water tap, and the power service can each be a separate job with a separate crew. Ask each one, in writing, where their work starts and stops, and whose work has to be finished before theirs can begin.

The power hookup for a mobile home usually involves three parties, not one. An electrician installs the service, meaning the meter base or pole and the line to the home's panel, under an electrical permit; your county or city inspections office inspects it; and the power company connects the meter only after that inspection is passed. Ask the setup crew whether their price includes any electrical work, and get the answer in writing.

A setup price can leave out work the home still needs before anyone moves in: permits and inspection fees, grading, the driveway, septic, the well or the water and sewer taps, the power service, the heating and air connection, skirting, and the steps at each door. None of these is wrong to price separately. What matters is that each one is on somebody's list, with a price and a name beside it.
