  • Certainteed - Job Quotes

    10/04/2011 - 17:43 by rkephart

    In review of our business practices and policies for bringing products to
    market, we have noted a significant increase in the amount of job quote
    requests and find the process to be inefficient and administratively
    burdensome. Accordingly we find it necessary to cease all job quotes
    immediately.
    Recognizing there are outstanding job quotes, we will require all existing
    projects be confirmed with a firm purchase order or written notice of intent
    by October 14, 2011. This policy will be strictly enforced.
