Every building is holding money it cannot show you.
We advise owners, investors and managers on every utility their buildings use, and then run the result. From grid connection and procurement through metering, funded plant and occupier recharging, to the strategy that holds a portfolio together.
Where a building leaks money.
Six places between land assembly and year five of operation. Most of them are decided before anyone is watching the bill, and none of them show up on a monthly report that only reproduces what the supplier said.
- The connectionCapacity agreed at design stage, paid for every day afterwards whether it is drawn or not.
- The contractTendered on unit rate alone, so the two-thirds of the bill that is network, policy and margin goes unexamined.
- The invoicePaid because it arrived, not because it matched the contract that was actually signed.
- The meterRead late, read wrong, or not read at all, so consumption is estimated and the estimate becomes the record.
- The rechargeApportioned by floor area rather than actual use, which is neither accurate nor defensible when an occupier asks.
- The assetMeasures that would pay for themselves deferred because nobody has the capital budget this year.
Measure, manage, save, reinvest.
Utilities treated as a circular asset rather than a passive cost line. The saving from one turn funds the next, which is why the loop closes rather than ending at a report.
Most arrangements stop at step two. The invoices get checked, a report is produced, and the saving — if anyone identified one — needs a capital budget that does not exist. So nothing is reinvested and the cycle does not turn.
The fourth step is what makes the other three worth doing. A measure funded out of the saving it creates needs no capital decision, which is why it actually happens.
Measure
Every supply, meter and contract on one data model. A baseline you can argue from.
Manage
Invoices validated, disputes run to settlement, occupiers recharged from real reads.
Save
Tendered on the whole cost stack, not the unit rate. Capacity and consumption together.
Reinvest
Funded plant paid for by the saving it creates, at no capital cost to the client.
Every step evidenced.
What one joined-up service looks like from the moment a bill arrives to the moment an occupier is recharged. These are rows in the platform, not estimates.
Two hundred and twelve buildings, on one data model.
Every one of them with its supplies, meters, contracts and occupiers attached, from a London office floor to a heat network in a residential scheme.
The concentration is London and the South East, with work running from the central belt down to the south coast. 133 of the 212 carry a coordinate on the platform today; the rest are being geocoded as their records are completed.
Five things, and the platform underneath them.
Usually bought from four different firms who never speak to each other. We do all of it from one data set, which is the only reason the numbers reconcile.
Utility Bureau
Every invoice checked, every meter accounted for, every occupier recharged correctly.
What the bureau doesProcurement
Energy and water tendered across the whole market, with the margin disclosed on every line.
How a tender runsEnergy as a Service
Decarbonisation infrastructure funded from the saving it creates. No client capital.
The two instrumentsGrid & infrastructure
Connection and capacity strategy for large loads, data centres and development sites.
Grid advisoryESG & compliance
MEES and EPC triage, option appraisal, the cost-cap ledger and the deadline behind it.
Compliance workThe platform
One data model behind all of it. Every figure traces to a read, a clause or an invoice.
See the platformOwners, managers and the people who answer to them.
Family offices and private wealth, institutional and corporate owners, property, asset and investment managers, engineers, developers and construction.
Residential, offices, retail and shopping centres, hotels, airports and data centres. UK-wide, with work in Europe and the Nordics. The consolidation is the point: you deal with us, we deal with the markets.
- Landlords and investorsCost control across a portfolio, and evidence for every figure before the auditor asks.
- Managing agentsWe sit behind your client relationships as the utilities engine. Your brand on the documents.
- Developers and BTRConnection, metering and resident billing designed in at acquisition rather than retro-fitted in year two.
- OccupiersA charge you can see the working for, and a statement that answers the obvious question first.
Written down, before you ask.
Bureau
A fee per supply or per unit, with the platform included. No separate software licence.
Procurement
A disclosed margin, the same on every offer we put in front of you. You see it on each line of the comparison.
Advisory and projects
Scoped fees, shown against the saving or the capacity they are intended to secure.
Energy as a Service
No fee to the client. The measure pays for itself out of the saving it creates.
