Guide to Lodging a FREE beforeUdig Enquiry

Lodging an enquiry is a simple process, which can be done in three ways:

  • Online via the beforeUdig website;
  • Mobile website for Android phones or iPhone app;
  • By calling 0800 248 344 (freephone and is available during business hours).

Lodging an enquiry online is a simple process. If you are new to the beforeUdig service, just Register as a new user first.

Receiving Information

  • Plans are the most common form of information you will receive (generally within two business days) from infrastructure owners detailing the location of their assets.
  • These plans DO NOT come from beforeUdig.
  • It is important NOT to proceed until you have received the relevant information from all asset owners affected by your project.
  • If the scope of your work changes or the validity date(s) of plan(s) expire (varies between asset owners), a new beforeUdig enquiry must be submitted.

Should you require further information, assistance or have not received plan(s), please contact the asset owner directly with the details provided on the Enquiry Confirmation Sheet.
