MBook · MEP & Electrical

Construction ERP for MEP & Electrical Contractors

MEP and electrical packages are measured in running metres and points, often as a subcontractor inside a larger job. MBook handles both sides — the measurement chain when you certify subcontractors, and the RA bill when you claim from the main contractor — with margin computed against the parent BOQ line.

The problem

What mep & electrical contractors deal with today

Cable and tray measurement is disputed

Running metres claimed against metres verified is argued on printouts, and joint-measurement deductions are lost.

Back-to-back margin is invisible

What you certify to a sub against what the client certifies to you is not tied to the same BOQ line, so margin is a guess.

Retention and free-issue slip

Retention held and free-issue material recovered come off manually, and errors favour the other side.

Shop-drawing holds stall billing

Approvals pending on panel rooms and terminations sit in email, disconnected from the measurement.

What MBook gives you

Built around mep & electrical work

Measurement chain with joint measurement

Submitted, site verified, QS verified, PM approved — with disallowed lengths recorded against the reason.

Back-to-back margin on the BOQ line

Subcontract rate sits against the client rate on the same item, so let-work margin is computed, not entered.

Retention, advance and free-issue

Payment certificates take advance recovery, retention and free-issue material off before GST is added.

Issues tied to measurement

Shop-drawing and material holds live in the issues register with a due date and schedule impact.

In practice

An electrical contractor certifies a cabling package through the measurement chain — 280 m disallowed pending termination — while claiming its own RA bill from the main contractor; margin falls out of the client rate less the subcontract rate on the same BOQ line.

Common questions

MBook for mep & electrical

Does MBook handle both claiming and certifying?

Yes. You claim from the main contractor with RA bills, and certify your own subcontractors through the measurement chain — both against the same BOQ.

How is back-to-back margin computed?

The subcontract rate sits against the client rate on the same BOQ line, so margin on let work is derived, not entered by hand.

Are retention and free-issue handled on certificates?

Yes. Payment certificates deduct advance recovery, retention and free-issue material before GST is applied.
