Who pays for gas and electricity during the build?

The build has completed, so I didn't want to bug them to ask for money - especially if they're not meant to pay the bill.

Hey,
Just received a small gas bill, for the period during construction. Rudely, they're threatening to cut off my supply - even though it's the first notice.
