Utility bills are complex, and errors are common. We find the savings, and you pay nothing unless we do.
Drake Hammond audits utility bills for multifamily, commercial, institutional, and industrial properties nationwide. After 35 years, we know where to look, who to talk to, and what it takes to lower your monthly utility expense.
No savings, no fee. Nothing to pay up front, and money to recover.
Our audits are fully contingency-based. If we don't find savings, you don't pay. It's that simple, and it's a big part of why owners and managers have trusted us for 35 years.
- Risk-free: no charge if we're unable to find savings.
- Comprehensive: a detailed, line-by-line review of your utility accounts.
- Hassle-free: very little is needed from you or your staff.
Two audits, both contingency-based
Lower what you pay the utilities, and recover everything you're permitted to bill back to residents.
Utility Bill Audit
A full, line-by-line analysis of your gas, electricity, water, and sewer bills, looking for incorrect rates, clerical errors, unused credits and exemptions, and alternative energy options.
- Savings come back as refunds or reductions in future bills
- No savings, no fee, and no upfront cost
- Very little needed from your staff
RUBS & Resident Utility Reallocation Audit
We determine whether your properties are maximizing the reallocation of common area expenses to residents. We audit your third-party RUBS and sub-metering vendors to find missed revenue and make sure your resident billing is legally compliant.
- What your property's jurisdiction lets you allocate to residents
- Missed or under-billed reimbursable charges
- Over-allocation or improper charges that could create legal exposure
A simple process. Real savings.
We handle the detailed work so your team doesn't have to. See the RUBS audit process.
