On the Job
Project Management
With our highly experienced professional team overseeing the process, you can be sure that your project will be fully implemented on time and on budget, and your meters are accurately installed and successfully commissioned. In order to eliminate unaccounted for delays or cost increases, new requests and changes to a project are managed through a Request for Change (RFC) process.
In addition, we procure the appropriate meters based on each building's unique needs. We design a robust communication infrastructure that enables 100% building coverage as well as data collection and delivery.
S-E-04 Verification
VIP is accredited by Measurement Canada to perform S-E-04 meter installation verification inspections, ensuring that meters are correctly installed.
Meter Installation & Commissioning
Our dedicated team creates detailed drawings specific to the property to guide installation teams, and we ensure they are well-trained and equipped to implement submetering systems correctly.
We then conduct rigorous tests and inspections to ensure that all of your devices are working properly and communicating with the Meter Data Management System.
Staying On Top
Proper Documentation
Documenting documents properly and keeping them organized and up-to-date is one of the biggest challenges companies face in implementing submetering systems. VIP automates workflow processes to deliver consistent, high-quality data free from human error every time.
Every party involved in delivering submetering projects works on a centralized ERP system, where everything is properly catalogued. This means you don't have to worry about missed steps, errors, or misplaced or out-of-date documents and certificates.
These documents, which include detailed drawings, specifications, and other relevant information, are kept organized and easily accessible to clients whenever they're needed, and nothing gets lost.
Auditing Existing Submetering Systems
If potential problems with previously implemented submetering systems are keeping you up at night, you're not alone. VIP is here to help. Our team is accredited to audit and identify errors in existing submetering systems so they can be corrected and you can rest easy.
