Clients

  • SPS Mechanical’s ability to retain clients is related directly to our belief that what helps our clients grow and prosper will eventually benefit SPS Mechanical.
  • Our long-range view of client relationships allows us to make the infrastructure investments required to support such relationships. It is clear to us that the "continuous improvement process" must extend to our clients.

Suppliers

  • Relationships with our suppliers have been longstanding. Currently, SPS uses a limited number of suppliers for both equipment and materials needs. By keeping the number of suppliers small we feel that we can have both the benefits of competitive bidding to be a SPS vendor and provide a vendor partner with sufficient long term volume to justify the level of service we require at a competitive price.
  • We encourage our vendor Partners to be proactive in bringing new and innovative products and techniques to our attention for evaluation.

Employees

  • Many of our employees have over 10 years of experience in this field.
  • Training employees to perform the job function is continuously emphasized.

Estimating

Purchasing

  • Our process generates a matrix and materials list for every house plan.
  • The builders issue a Purchase Order and job start/selection sheet to confirm location, model, selections, options and pricing for a house.
  • Vendor Purchase Orders are generated from the materials list.
  • Purchase Orders to most vendors are electronically created to insure that the most recent revisions are reflected on the Purchase Order.
  • The result is consistency across models.

  • Invoicing is customized to each customer’s specific requirements.

When complete, each manager and installer signs off.
