Customer Complaint & Issue Resolution for Site Preparation

The Customer Complaint & Issue Resolution workflow provides site preparation contractors with a dependable method for managing client concerns. It covers recording complaints, inspecting excavation or grading work, assigning corrective actions, and verifying resolution. Managers confirm completion and document each step for accountability. By standardizing this process, site prep companies reduce conflicts, enhance customer trust, and prevent recurring issues. Clients benefit from timely communication and effective corrective actions. Teams gain accountability through documented follow-ups. With this workflow in place, site preparation contractors can strengthen professionalism, improve service quality, and deliver projects more reliably while handling complaints consistently.
