Consulting & Project Management

Smart-metering strategy and programme management for municipalities, utilities, property portfolios and large infrastructure environments. We support improvement plans, revenue assurance, AMI rollouts, operating-model design, vendor coordination and benefits tracking, strategy with an operations team behind it, not just slides.

What a typical engagement looks like

1. Audit. A site visit and desktop review to establish the current metering infrastructure, the tariff structures, the billing accuracy, and the revenue leakage. Output: a defensible baseline.
2. Improvement plan. A phased rollout that includes meter replacements, retrofits, comms upgrades, data-acquisition wiring, billing-system integration, and the operating model behind it.
3. Business case. Capex, opex, and the recovery profile, modelled against your tariff and your portfolio so the numbers stand up to board-level scrutiny.
4. Programme management. EPMO-style governance, capital project assurance, vendor management, and the field-services coordination that gets meters from a stockroom onto a wall.
5. Benefits tracking. Tracking the realised vs forecast savings month over month, with the reconciliation evidence, so the programme is held to its business case, not just its installation schedule.
