About Us
The Company
Founded in 1996 by Diane de Mailly, DDM is a utility submetering design, installation and reading/billing service company specializing in commercial and multifamily properties. Our mission is to provide the tools and services necessary for multi-unit properties to efficiently recover utility costs from tenants. Our unique proprietary software enables an approach to billing that allows managers and property owners to tailor tenant billing directly to tenant leases and according to regional time-of-use rate schedules. We are passionate about the environment and have found that when tenants are responsible for the cost of their equitable share, overall utility usage decreases, benefitting everyone. DDM is headquartered in Southern California with satellite offices in Oregon and Connecticut. With this national footprint DDM is well positioned to meet the growing needs of our core markets.
