A tower company sought help managing operating expenses across its portfolio. Management wanted to identify costs that could be reduced, amounts that might be recovered, and vendor arrangements that warranted a fresh review. The need combined detailed analysis of records and contracts with an understanding of tower operating economics.
Our approach focuses on property taxes and vendor spending. The tax review reconciles assessments with company records and identifies potential corrections and refunds in coordination with tax counsel and other specialists. The vendor review examines maintenance, insurance, utilities, professional services, and other cost categories, benchmarking pricing and terms to identify opportunities for renegotiation, consolidation, or competitive bidding. Tenant cost pass-throughs and billing practices are also considered.
The objective is a prioritized cost management program that helps leadership pursue opportunities, track savings and recoveries, and strengthen oversight of recurring expenses.
