Master
Manuals partners with MacLellan
Master Manuals has teamed up with recognized building expert
David MacLellan
(Building
Standards Institute) to provide California homebuilders
with the most comprehensive, homeowner-friendly documentation
yet.
Master Manuals, in an exclusive partnership
with MacLellan Wolfson Associates, incorporates the performance
guidelines from the popular reference book California
Building Performance Guidelines for Residential Construction
into its Homeowner
Maintenance Manual. With the optional addition of these
guidelines, our homeowner manuals are now even stronger
and help define the division of responsibilities of the
homeowner and builder.

Service
is as easy as 1-2-3
To ensure that our customer needs are immediately met, Master
Manuals Customer Care Department created a dedicated phone
extension that will reach a service rep during regular business
hours.
Customers
need only dial extension 123 to easily
request additional manuals for existing contracts or order
product for new communities, report shipping issues, review
fulfillment needs and other production matters.
"Creating a faster, more direct connection for customers
lets us respond to their needs more efficiently and effectively,"
said Production Director AJ Cataline.
The
extension is staffed during standard business hours (8am-5pm
PT). If a customer needs to leave a message on the extension,
a service rep will return the call that business day.
If the call comes after standard business hours, the customer
will receive a call back on the next business day. The phone
number is 760-746-4000 x123.

And
the survey says...
We
truly believe our customers are our most important asset.
As such, Master Manuals recently activated an online survey
program that solicits opinions on the entire customer experience-from
sales to delivery.
Designed
to help Master Manuals continually improve both product
and services, the survey is offered to customers once a
year and/or 30 days after delivery of a new community's
product.
If you are currently a Master Manuals customer, we invite
you to take the 21 question survey and let us know how we're
doing. If you are not yet a customer, we look forward to
earning your business and proving that our customers
matter!

TIP:
Reduced risk profile can lead to reduced rates
The old adage in the building industry is not if you get
sued, but when. As a result many builders pay significant
premiums to insurance carriers to protect themselves. However,
there are several brokers and carriers that will
consider reducing their premiums if builders use
a homeowner documentation solution that
reduces exposure to risk.
Often, a reduced risk profile can lead to lower insurance
rates because the builder takes preventative steps towards
reducing exposure to CDL and other lawsuits. Master Manuals
maintenance manuals and online archiving service are services
large and smaller builders alike have used to negotiate
more favorable rates.
In fact, one major insurance carrier validated that they
take into consideration "the strength of overall project
management, including Customer Service items such as manuals/archiving
in pricing the wraps."

Did
you know...
25%
of
corporate paper documents are misplaced
and never located. A typical worker spends
an average of 150 hours per year looking
for lost documents. This equates to $2,524
per year for an employee with annual salary of $35,000.
