At three points: mid-project milestone check-ins, immediately after the final reveal, and 3-6 months post-completion to see how the space is living.

What questions should an interior design survey include?

Design satisfaction, communication quality, budget adherence, timeline accuracy, and NPS. Mid-project surveys should focus on alignment and communication.

How can surveys help with budget conversations?

Budget perception questions reveal how clients feel about spending vs. value received. This data helps you set expectations earlier and frame costs more effectively.
