QR: Your team was able to achieve high rates of customer satisfaction during the pandemic, a time of greater scrutiny because clients were at home more. There were also supply-chain delays. What measures did your firm take to maintain client satisfaction?
During Covid, we basically created construction site “bubbles” within our client’s homes to isolate the work areas from the living areas. Another safety precaution included creating external hand washing stations for our staff and subcontractors use. We utilized online scheduling access for our clients through CoConstruct, so the clients would know when there would be activity at their home. We made it a priority for our project coordinators to keep an open line of communication with our clients.
