Know what the utility will actually require — before you commit.

The situations we're built for

If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Before you buy

You're evaluating a site and no one has confirmed the utility can actually serve it.

Mid-project, stalled

The utility has gone quiet, your crews are idle, and every week costs you money.

Public agency

Your CIP is stuck between departments that don't talk to each other.

New service

A new electrical service or upgrade needs sign-off before permits can move.

Why the read is different

We've sat on the utility's side of this conversation.

Brandon, Principal, WillowWoods
23Years Inside SCE & SDG&E Territory

Brandon founded WillowWoods after over two decades managing utility coordination, service planning, design, construction standards, and leadership within the utilities. That means the requirements you're navigating aren't a guess to us — we know which ones are firm, which are negotiable, and which decisions early in a project quietly set its final cost and schedule. Now that same insider read works your side of the table — not interpreting the utility's requirements after the fact, but getting ahead of them to keep your timeline as short as the utility will actually allow.

"Most agents can sell you the land. Very few can tell you whether the utility infrastructure will actually support your vision."

— From a WillowWoods client engagement

An AI-forward project management methodology. Built on the utility's own internal processes — the same ones used from inside SCE and SDG&E — to maximize your project's throughput and keep it executing, with structured, client-facing status reporting instead of waiting for someone to remember to call.

Land

We read the site before you're committed to it.

Parcel constraints, easements, and agency jurisdiction assessed alongside utility capacity — not after the purchase agreement is signed.

Infrastructure

We know which requirements are firm.

Two decades inside the utility means we can tell you what's negotiable and what isn't — before it costs you a redesign.

Strategy

We keep the whole project moving.

Utility, agency, and design team coordinated toward one schedule, so decisions don't stall in someone else's inbox.

How a project moves

Five phases. One point of contact the whole way through.

01

Intake

Situation, site, and stakes reviewed in one call.

02

Utility Research

Capacity, circuit, and requirements confirmed directly.

03

Agency Coordination

Utility, agency, and design team kept moving together.

04

Resolution

Roadblocks resolved before they cost you schedule.

05

Handoff

A clean, documented path into construction.

In production this route advances as you scroll, with a live callout at each phase — shown here in its resting state.
