Construction testimonial challenges

Every construction team we talk to runs into the same testimonial problems. Boast solves some, ignores others.

Construction projects are major financial commitments and clients need to trust you before signing a contract

Bid differentiation is difficult when competitors quote similar prices — reputation becomes the deciding factor

Project delays and cost overruns in the industry create a default skepticism about all contractors

Completed projects speak for themselves visually, but clients can't see the professionalism behind the process

How VideoTestimonials solves them

What you actually get in VideoTestimonials that Boast doesn't fully address for construction.

Collect client testimonials at project completion, move-in, or one-year follow-up to capture lasting satisfaction

Embed testimonials on service pages (residential, commercial, renovation) to match client stories with prospect needs

Build a Wall of Love with project photos alongside client videos for a complete portfolio-plus-reviews experience

Include video testimonial links in proposals and bid packages to differentiate on trust, not just price

FAQs for Construction

How do I get testimonials for large projects that take months?
Collect testimonials at project milestones (groundbreaking, framing complete, move-in) and again at the one-year mark. This creates a narrative arc showing your reliability throughout the process.
Can I use testimonials from commercial clients for residential marketing and vice versa?
You can display both, but segmenting is more effective. Feature residential testimonials on residential pages and commercial ones on commercial pages, for example with a hand-picked Wall of Love for each.
Can I transfer my Boast videos to VideoTestimonials?
Yes. Download your videos from Boast and upload them to VideoTestimonials. We support all common video formats.
Does VideoTestimonials support NPS surveys like Boast?
Yes. You can include NPS rating questions in your testimonial collection forms alongside video and text prompts.
Is VideoTestimonials easier to use than Boast?
Our users consistently report that VideoTestimonials is more intuitive with a modern interface, drag-and-drop form builder, and simpler widget configuration.
