WHY IS THIS MPE's PROCESS?
In 2022, rising inflation and supply chain issues complicated MPE's new service installations. As a result, frequently, new services needed to be redesigned (creating additional invoicing and slowing the process). Our current process should resolve some of these issues.
BENEFITS TO THIS NEW PROCESS
- Improved accuracy of our estimates and load sheets
- Requiring you to complete a state inspection before sending you a contract reduces the need for multiple invoices
- This process helps MPE ensure more timely construction
