Frequently Asked Questions

When should construction companies survey clients?

At major milestones (foundation, framing, completion), post-punch list, and at 6 and 12 months for warranty. Weekly pulse surveys during active construction help too.

What questions should a construction survey include?

Quality of work, schedule adherence, communication frequency and clarity, site cleanliness, budget management, and NPS. Milestone surveys should be 3-4 questions; completion surveys can be 6-8.

How can surveys help with change order disputes?

Regular milestone surveys document client satisfaction at each phase. If disputes arise, you have a trail of documented approval and satisfaction data.

Can surveys track subcontractor quality?

Yes. Include questions about specific trades (plumbing, electrical, finishes) — client perspective supplements your own quality inspections and helps evaluate subs.

How do warranty surveys help win new business?

Warranty follow-ups show clients you stand behind your work. Satisfied clients become referral sources, and the data strengthens your proposals.
