The Audit on the Roof

Existing rooftop leases at a group of hotels looked settled — until someone actually went up and checked what was there.

The Situation

An owner had inherited a set of long-standing rooftop and equipment leases across several hotel properties. The agreements were treated as background paperwork, quietly renewing year after year with no one reconciling them against what was physically installed.

What We Found

Our physical and contractual audit surfaced a gap between the paperwork and reality: equipment on the roof that wasn't on any lease and was never being billed, liability exposure the owner was carrying unknowingly, and revenue the property was simply giving away.

What We Did

We documented every discrepancy, reconciled the installed equipment against the agreements, and renegotiated and corrected the leases — capturing the unbilled usage, closing the liability gaps, and putting proper terms in place going forward.

The Outcome

The owner recovered revenue that had been slipping away, reduced uncompensated risk, and gained a clean, accurate picture of what sits on their roofs and what it's worth.
