Apartment Acquisitions

Cost Containment Engineering, Inc., which has many years of experience with utility cost reduction at mult-family properties, can participate in the due diligence process to help buyers understand their options for reducing utility/operating costs at the targeted property:

• Our seasoned engineers will perform an on-site energy and water audit at the property being considered for acquisition. 
• Based on the results of the on-site audit, we  will provide you with a written technical report discussing site specific options, and an analysis of practical improvements for reducing electricity, natural gas, and water/sewer costs, including estimated improvement costs, projected utility cost savings and ROI for each option.  
• You can can utilize our list of potential utility cost saving improvements, and  consider including funding for those improvements in your business plan.  Re-calculate net operating income based on lower utility expenses to understand how these energy & water efficiency improvements would enhance the return on investment.
• This due-diligence activity is particularly valuable when considering older properties which generally tend to have antiquated, inefficient energy and water consuming equipment.

Assist Current Owners Combat Escalating Utility Costs at their Properties

• Our experienced engineering staff will conduct an on-site energy and water audit, followed up with a written technical report identifying specific cost effective measures to reduce electricity, natural gas and/or water & sewer costs.
• Provide advice on specific types of improvements, procedures and equipment retrofits to improve energy and water efficiency at your property, including estimated installed equipment costs and projected utility cost savings.
• We offer unbiased, professional advice and recommendations - we do not sell equipment.  We can help you identify utility cost saving measures and/or select reliable energy and water efficient replacement equipment, without prejudice to a particular manufacturer or installer.
