Additional Info Regarding Sectional Titles

Once in operation, commercial and residential property developments faced the same financial management challenges when it comes to revenues collection management. Whether the need is for prepaid meters for commercial or for residential schemes, specification of prepaid meter systems enables developers to reduce their costs in provision for the supply of utilities to the development. By application for bulk-metering services developers can significantly reduce costs associated with individual section metering.

Furthermore, the installation of a prepaid meter in each section ensures an improved level of financial management once the scheme is in operation. With this in mind, the value of properties within the scheme are more attractive to private and investor buyers who realize that a significant portion of the risk associated with the revenues collection management of the scheme has been obviated.

Specification of our prepaid meters and metering solutions also obviates the costs associated with meter reading charges that are customary in such schemes. This results in reduced costs to the scheme and hence the individual section owners. Once again, the combination of prudent financial management from the perspective of revenues collection management for utilities combined with reduced costs makes the scheme more attractive from the immediate perspective to any buyer, adds value to the product and improves marketability of the scheme.
