Metra

Scaling a construction company through smart property inspections

Project Background

Metra is a prestigious real estate development company with over 68 residential projects delivered across Mexico. One of their challenges was ensuring consistent inspection processes and quality control before handing over properties to clients. Incidents of missed repairs or undocumented defects were generating friction with new homeowners and undermining brand trust. AmpleMax partnered with Metra to digitize the inspection process, empower field engineers, and collect actionable insights to guide contractor management and customer satisfaction.

We helped Metra elevate customer satisfaction and operational quality through a digital platform for property inspections and issue resolution.
