The full FTTP lifecycle. One accountable team.

From first survey to final test, we deliver every stage of fibre-to-the-premises build in-house. Survey, TRR, cabling, CBT installation, splicing, and testing — all to Tier 1 spec, with photographic evidence and PON-level traceability on every claim we submit.

The survey is where the programme is won or lost.

A sloppy survey is how FTTP programmes go out by three weeks on every street. We treat the survey stage as the most important part of the job, because every decision downstream — civils routing, cable budgets, chamber selection, customer access — is made from this single document.

Our survey teams use standardised TRR templates that match the claim-pack format of every Tier 1 framework holder we work with. Surveyors are scored on output accuracy after civils start on site.

  • Route surveys for new-build and overbuild FTTP programmes
  • Technical Route Records (TRR) produced to Openreach / CityFibre / alt-net spec
  • Customer-access surveys including MDU and cottage-style properties
  • Full photographic record of the route, tied back to the survey map

Cable pull, blown fibre, and CBT installation at Tier 1 spec.

Our cabling teams work across overhead and underground networks, with current active accreditations for the major UK FTTP build programmes. We install CBTs, splice sleeves, and loose-tube cables with full label compliance and PON-level traceability from day one.

We are careful about how we sequence cabling against civils. Our project managers run joint sequencing meetings with the main contractor so that cabling crews arrive when the civils are genuinely ready to receive them — not a week before, not a month after.

  • Loose-tube, blown fibre, and drop cabling on Openreach / alt-net frameworks
  • CBT installation, labelling, and asset registration
  • Pole-top and chamber work including climb-trained teams
  • PON-level traceability recorded at cable pull, not retrofitted later

Every splice logged. Every test recorded. Evidence before invoice.

This is the stage where most claim packs get kicked back. Missing OTDR traces. Unreadable splice photos. Inconsistent labelling against the asset record. Our splicing and testing teams run a single disciplined workflow that closes all of those gaps at source.

Every splice is photographed at the loss measurement and tied back to the PON asset ID. Every OTDR trace is saved against the drop reference. Every claim pack is QA'd before it leaves the office.

  • Fusion splicing with in-field loss measurement and photo log
  • Bi-directional OTDR testing at handover with saved traces
  • End-to-end customer activation testing where in scope
  • Full PON-level evidence pack delivered with every claim

"The claim packs from Rise go through on first submission. That does not happen with most of our other delivery partners."
