SERVICES
At Apex Network Planning, we deliver high-quality, agile survey and design solutions to support telecoms network deployment across the UK. With a focus on value, precision, and innovation, we work with clients across ISPs, engineering firms, and infrastructure partners to drive efficient, scalable connectivity.
Fibre Network Planning
We specialise in full-fibre (FTTP) and FttX network design across rural, suburban, and urban environments. Our services include route planning, duct and chamber design, cabinet siting, and customer premises connectivity with full compliance to
Openreach PIA, local authority, and private network standards. We focus on fast mobilisation and reliable, build-ready outputs that reduce rework and enable smooth delivery.
Survey & Design for MDUs, Business and New Developments
We provide comprehensive site survey and telecoms design services for multi-dwelling units (MDUs), commercial premises, and residential developments. Our work supports fibre installation from first fix through to completion, ensuring alignment with developer requirements, wayleave constraints, and service provider specifications. We bring deep experience working with housing developers and utility partners on new build and retro-fit designs.
Dark Fibre & Backhaul Design
Our team designs resilient dark fibre and backhaul networks to support high-capacity inter-site connectivity. Whether delivering core fibre infrastructure, POP-to-POP routes, or third-party leased routes, we prioritise redundancy, route diversity, and future network scalability. Designs are tailored to meet carrier-grade performance and infrastructure resilience standards.
As-Built Capture, Network Auditing & Recovery Planning
We deliver precise as-built drawings, telecoms network audits, and recovery planning services to support operational decision-making, compliance, and asset management. Our expertise is particularly valuable during mergers and acquisitions (M&A), where accurate asset records, GIS validation, and audit reporting help buyers assess network quality, coverage, and investment risk. We also support recovery of undocumented or underperforming networks to restore service value.
Legacy Network Migration & Upgrade Planning
Apex supports the transition from legacy copper and hybrid infrastructure to full-fibre networks. Our planning services include asset mapping, phased migration strategy, upgrade path design, and customer transfer planning — all aimed at minimising disruption, protecting service continuity, and enabling scalable fibre expansion.
Diversionary Works - Statutory Undertaker Telecoms Support
We offer end-to-end support for telecoms diversion projects linked to highways schemes, utility upgrades, and private development. Our services include C2/C3/C4 responses, feasibility studies, stakeholder coordination, and detailed design — delivered in alignment with HAUC guidance and statutory undertaker requirements.
CAD & GIS Drafting Services
We provide telecoms-specific CAD and GIS drafting across AutoCAD, QGIS, and client-native systems. Our drafting outputs are clean, accurate, and tailored to your build standards, whether for FTTP, dark fibre, or legacy upgrade projects. We also offer drawing conversion, quality assurance, and support for cross-team drafting workflows.
Telecoms Engineering & Management Consultancy
Our consultancy services combine engineering depth with real-world delivery experience. We support clients with network strategy development, delivery model optimisation, team structuring, and process design. We also advise on vendor management, build programme planning, and quality assurance for live network environments.
Process Optimisation, Training & IT Tooling
We help planning teams work smarter with structured process reviews, workflow automation, onboarding tools, and technical training. Our services are designed to support consistency at scale, reduce design rework, and accelerate new team ramp-up. We also develop custom templates and IT tools to streamline telecoms design and delivery.
