What do I need to do?
The build methods used for category 3 can have a greater impact on your property so we need to get consent from all neighbours before getting started. Fill in the consent form included with your notification pack and send it back to us. Once all consents have been gained, we'll be in touch to let you know when we plan to start work.
CONSENT FORMCategory 3 build methods for ROWs
Whether your shared driveway consists of two dwellings or twenty, there’s some work we need to do in shared areas of the property so you and your neighbours can connect to fibre. You will have received a notification pack from us outlining the work we’ll do, including build methods, to bring fibre from the street and along your driveway. Find out more about the category 3 build methods.
VIEW EXAMPLESThe installation process for ROWs
When the work in your driveway is complete, we can connect you. Every property is unique, so there may be a few extra steps involved in getting fibre to your place. No matter where you live, we need to complete the following steps to get you connected:
Agree your install plan
Our technician will walk you through the best installation method for your home and you’ll need to sign a plan agreeing for Chorus to complete this work.
Build your fibre
We build the fibre from the driveway to a small box on the outside of your house called an external termination point. You don’t need to be home but we’ll need to be able to reach you by phone.
Connecting you
We can then connect the fibre to another small box called the optical network terminal (or ONT) inside your house. You will need to be home for this visit as we’ll be working inside.

FAQs
If the work proposed at your place has been classed as a category 1 build, or you disagree with our decision regarding a category 2 build objection, in some instances you are able to take the matter further via a third party disputes resolution process. More information can be found here.
