REITs & Property Companies

Utility management, tenant billing, and three-tier reconciliation for REITs and large property funds. Our experience includes supporting multi-tenant portfolios across listed funds and large landlords.

Proof point

Multi-tenant portfolios

water leak loss avoided

Proactive monitoring catches undetected leaks across multi-tenant portfolios before manual reads would have.

REITs and listed property funds have the most complex utility-management profile in the industry, and the highest expectations from tenants. Every meter has to bill correctly, every solar installation has to be reconciled against grid supply, and every tenant has to be able to defend the invoice they received.

What “end-to-end” actually means here

For each building we manage:

  • Field: installations, comms retrofits, single-line diagram drafting.
  • MRO: continuous smart-meter readings, daily integrity checks, monthly energy balancing.
  • Billing operations: tariff strategy, monthly bill generation, flat files into the landlord’s system or direct tenant invoicing, back-billing, query management.
  • Analytics: three-tier Performance Reports per site, with the kWh and Rand reconciliation that REIT portfolio managers actually use.
  • Insights portal: profile graphs, balance breakdowns, fault logs the property manager can pick up.

The kinds of portfolios we support

Our experience includes supporting multi-tenant portfolios across listed funds and large landlords:

  • Multi-tenant precincts and malls, smart electricity + water + effluent metering with tenant-facing reconciliations and water-leak alerts.
  • Mixed-use campuses, complex load-clipping reconciliation across solar, gas, generator, and council supply.
  • Bulk-metered residential and retail assets, bulk metering and council-bill verification.
  • Operations support across listed REIT and large property-fund portfolios.

What the property manager actually gets

The Performance Report ships in two views at month-end:

  1. Executive Summary, KPIs and percentage-based metrics for portfolio managers and Heads of Utilities.
  2. Detailed Utility Breakdown, utility-by-utility, three-tier balancing showing under-/over-recoveries in Rand terms, ready for operational follow-up.

What we see and what we do

The patterns we recognise, and the playbook we run.

What usually goes wrong

  • Three-tier balancing (council bill / check meter / tenant meter) that nobody actually runs at month-end
  • Solar feeding into common areas, landlord absorbs the cost without realising it
  • Tariff misapplication on municipal accounts going unnoticed for months
  • Water leaks detected 30-40 days late through manual reads
  • Move-in/move-out billing reconciliations slipping through the cracks
  • Tenant disputes that can't be defended because the readings are estimates, not measured

How we help

  • Performance Reports with three-tier reconciliation on both kWh and Rand at every month-end
  • Single-line diagrams that make the reconciliation possible, energy flow validated end-to-end
  • Algorithms for load clipping, tenant-specific generator consumption, and multi-source attribution
  • Real-time leak detection, faster leak detection across multi-tenant property portfolios
  • Tariff review and optimisation every year, with reseller margins reset against the latest NERSA position
  • Dedicated operations lead per portfolio, same person, year one and year three
