What Do We Need? Questions In Advance? Any Measurements? Product Recommendations?

With a video remote quote you will need to have an internet connection and either a webcam or a mobile phone or tablet with a camera. Additionally, you will need a tape measure, usually somewhere around 3 or 5 metres will be enough. The design specialist will walk you through taking the measurements and you will be able to provide real time video of the works which you require. Once the remote quote session has ended the design specialist will arrange for your fully detailed quotation to be sent to you electronically.

With a telephone remote quote the process is exactly the same process as detailed for a video remote quote without the video aspect. If you have a mobile phone you may be able to supply images from its camera either after or before the call, if not, don’t worry, our design specialist should be able to get enough information from you in the call.

Why Customers Increasingly Prefer Video Calls Over On-Site Visits

In the modern digital era, video calls and online meetings have become a convenient alternative to in-person on-site appointments for many customers. There are several key reasons remote video consultations may be preferred:

For New Build Home Projects If you're in the planning stages of a new build home, video calls allow you to connect with window and door experts remotely to start the design process. Online meetings mean you don't have to take time off work or make a long drive to the showroom for initial consultations. Everything from measuring, material selection, color choices and pricing can be discussed virtually at flexible times.

For Busy Working Professionals Replacing windows or doors is a big project, especially if your home is older. But taking multiple days off work for an on-site survey, installation, etc. may not be feasible. Video appointments with a measuring technician, installer, or designer allow working professionals to schedule consultations outside of regular business hours. Meetings can take place early morning, evenings or weekends to accommodate your schedule.
 
For Parents and Families For parents juggling both work and childcare responsibilities, video calls provide flexibility around their family's routines. Rather than coordinating an on-site visit between naptimes, feedings, school drop-offs and more, a video call can be booked during pockets of free time. Shorter remote meetings may also be easier for parents to step away for compared to hour-long in-home surveys or installations.
 
Post-Pandemic Preference After nearly two years of lockdowns and restrictions due to COVID-19, many customers have grown accustomed to remote meetings via video calls. What may have seemed impersonal before 2020 is now a convenient way of life. Customers recognize the time and hassle saved by handling consultations online. wait for home visits only when absolutely essential.
