My main concerns are:
• Will I need consents from the neighbours (and for what exactly)?
• Is any of the concrete or tarseal going to have to be smashed/cut or can they use existing conduit (if there is any, I’m not sure)?


Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

InstallerUFB: Because you live down a right of way things are a little bit different than if the UFB communial network went past your gate.
I would suspect that when you get a visit from the Chorus contractor to come and scope your job - if there isnt a suitable duct/s that can be used to provide connection/s for you and your neighbours then your job will be put on hold and sent back to Chorus for there action -
You will find my reply to similar question Here http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=135&topicid=122127
If there is a suitable duct then the installation team will have to dig up around your pillar (the Grey mushroom terminal) to access it and the end of your service conduit to install the ribbonet tube from the pedistall to the side of your house.
In both cases there will be concrete/seal abd grass dug up and reinstateted.
IF you PM me your actual address ill take a look at the network plans for you
lucky015: Just a quick question, On that which may also be of interest to OP.
In the case of a ROW situation does a tech normally show up and complete a quote type assessment or do they normally only show up when intending to proceed with the work?

Asumeing its Chorus UFB
If your address is obviously down a ROW (with more than one house down the ROW - this also includes mutipule subdivided sections -) then usualy the job is intercepted before it ends up being sent out to be scoped and is sent to Chorus concents and then on for design and build before going to he installer - if it isnt obvious then it will be sent out for scopeing (and hopefully this is done before install date) and they have to send it back
but even sometimes the job goes to concents (concent is given) but is still sent out for the install teams to scope the job because it isnt obvious that design & build work is required and they might then send it back to have design & build work done befor they can procced
a rule of thumb is
1 possible End User connection -> Install team handle the civils work
2 or more End User Connections -> Design & Build teams handle the civils work before the install teams take over
lucky015:
Yes, This is Chorus UFB.
So most likely up a shared driveway (2 houses up a long driveway) they would request consent first?
My main reason for querying this is that you mentioned existing ducting may be able to be used which may be able to sidestep requiring consent from the neighbors.

floydbloke: When the fibre was laid in the street they left quite a mess on the grass verge that was never put right, until the neighbour herself ended up forking out money for topsoil and grass-seed. She is now, justifiably, reluctant to sign the consent form in case they make more mess.

DarthKermit:
Could you perhaps gaurentee in writing to her that you'll pay to put it right should they leave a mess again?
