Clear Pricing and Reliable Reporting for Social Housing Drainage
We understand the need for correct pricing systems and reporting tools. At Metro Rod, we work with third-party systems that are unique to individual housing associations and have also developed our own reporting tools to give you a transparent view of all work undertaken.
Our enhanced reporting shows where costs are incurred so we can recommend intelligent solutions to reduce drainage problems and drive savings.
Integrating SOR (Schedule of Rates) codes with your internal systems and our enhanced reporting tools is what makes Metro Rod the preferred drainage contractor for many social housing associations.
