The setup process is simple. Simply fill out the appropriate online form for payment either for payment by credit card or to be invoiced for payment via check, EFT, or wire transfer (CBE Partners: please login to the partner portal to setup your complimentary surveys). We recommend implementing the survey at least six months after occupants have moved in (and twelve months is better). The core survey categories are included in all surveys, and we can assist you with adding modules or developing new questions if you are interested in digging deeper into specific building features.
For details about fees please see this PDF of occupant survey costs and options.
If you have questions about starting a survey, please email us at lehrer@berkeley.edu.
