The Company<\/h2>\n

Founded in 1996 by Diane de Mailly, DDM is a utility submetering design, installation, and reading\/billing service company specializing in Commercial, Residential, and Multi-Family 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. With a national footprint, DDM is well positioned to meet the growing needs of our core markets. We are proud to be a certified Green Business, as well as a CPUC Woman Owned business in California.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ddmmeter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/company-image4.jpeg” title_text=”Architect at work” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”29px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Catamaran||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_2_font=”Catamaran||||||||” header_2_font_size=”35px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
