PRICING BUILT AROUND YOUR FIRST RESULT

Price one building. Prove the value. Scale only when it holds.

Know the subscription, deployment scope and any hardware cost before work begins. The first site then gives you the measured evidence - not a sales forecast - for deciding whether to scale.

The estimate is free. A site survey turns the range into a defined scope.

Know what you pay for - and when.

Every proposal separates recurring software, one-time deployment and optional devices. That makes the first-site cost clear and keeps a missing meter from becoming an open-ended integration budget.

The platform

A recurring subscription for the connected sites, metering points and workflows you approve. Your quote shows the commercial unit, included modules and support level before signature.

Recurring Portfolio scope Modular

Deployment

A one-time scope for survey, integration or retrofit, configuration, commissioning and training. Deliverables, dependencies and acceptance criteria are agreed before site work begins.

One-time Quoted up front Defined deliverables

Hardware - only where the data is missing

We start with compatible meters and systems already on site. Any reader, sensor, gateway or meter that must be added is listed separately by site and device.

Optional Itemised Site-specific

The final number depends on site count, metering points, selected workflows, connectivity and retrofit gaps. Savings targets are validated on your own readings; they are not guaranteed before measurement.

Make the rollout decision with your own building data.

The first site is a controlled commercial decision: price the work, agree what success means and measure the result before the subscription expands across the portfolio.

Survey

Document the existing meters, systems, access and retrofit gaps; return a fixed pilot scope with exclusions and customer responsibilities.

Pilot

Operate for the period agreed at scoping, against agreed data-quality and outcome criteria.

Rollout decision

Show the measured result, recurring scope and remaining site assumptions; expand only when the business case holds.

Get a useful range before the site survey.

Share the portfolio size, approximate metering-point count, target workflows and known systems. We will return an indicative range and show which assumptions move it.

  • Number and type of buildings.
  • Approximate electricity, water, gas and environmental metering points.
  • Outcomes required: monitoring, control, tenant billing, maintenance, reporting or compliance support.

Indicative only - not a binding offer. The site survey confirms the final scope and price.

FAQ

Eight pricing questions answered before procurement asks.

Why is there no universal price list?

The cost changes with sites, metering points, integrations, workflows and retrofit gaps. We can still give you an indicative range from a short portfolio brief, then price the defined scope after survey.

What does a pilot include?

Your proposal should list the survey, connection or retrofit work, platform configuration, commissioning, training, support, measurement period and acceptance criteria.

How much does the first-site pilot cost?

Volts does not publish a price. Send your site count and metering scope and we will come back with a scoped estimate.

Do we have to buy hardware?

Only where compatible existing equipment cannot provide the required data or control. Every added device appears as a separate, site-specific line in the proposal.

What will we know before approving a rollout?

You should have measured data quality, the agreed operating outcome, ongoing subscription scope, remaining integration gaps and a site-by-site rollout assumption set based on the first building.

What happens if the pilot does not prove the case?

You keep the agreed pilot outputs and decide whether to stop, change scope or extend measurement. Any minimum commitment, notice period and equipment ownership term is written into the pilot agreement before it starts.

Who usually pays - and can it sit in the service charge?

The buyer may be the owner, operator, tenant or utility-service provider. Recoverability through a service charge depends on the lease, local rules and the benefit delivered; obtain property and legal advice before allocating it.

How does pricing change as the portfolio grows?

The quote shows the additional site, metering-point, workflow and support units that increase recurring cost, plus any one-time deployment per site.

Put a number on the first defensible step.

Tell us what you operate and what must change. We will separate software, deployment and optional hardware so you can approve one site without committing the entire portfolio.
