Frequently asked questions

  1. Why are the B2B reports based on quantative telephone interviews?

The B2B target groups in the construction and installation industry don't respond well to online surveys. Furthermore, there are no reliable panels that can provide solid and representative samples for these target groups. Furthermore, by conducting the interviews by phone and in their native language, we are able to screen the respondents to ensure we are talking to the right person and probe much deeper than is possible with online research.

  1. How many interviews are conducted for these report?

This depends on the research, but overall, we conduct between 100 and 200 interviews per country per report for the B2B market studies and about 600 interviews per country per report for the B2C reports. We ensure representativeness and reliability in all our reports.

  1. What key trends are covered in these reports?

Depending on the research, key trends are monitored in our quarterly, biannual, and annual reports. These trends reflect the most important marketing topics, like orientation behaviour, buying behavior, prefabrication, sustainability, BIM, and many more. Because all of the research has a very long track record and most topics are repeated every two years, we can also show the trendlines.

  1. How can we get acces to the reports?
