How we help real estate and construction teams decide with confidence

A residential project runs for years, and budgets are fixed before the first shovel hits the ground. The question is not whether you will sell the units, but at what pace and at what price. Market research with MKOR tells you who the real buyer is for your location, what stops them at the site visit, and how you stand against the developers next door.

We work with developers, general contractors, and construction manufacturers, turning market and buyer behavior data into concrete choices: price, unit mix, sales message, launch calendar.

Project validation

A badly sized property investment cannot be fixed in marketing. We verify real demand, accepted price, and interest by segment before budget approval, through opportunity studies and concept and brand testing for project name, positioning, and sales materials. Example: the opportunity study on the logistics parks market for MasterBuild, where we quantified demand before the development decision.

Developer perception

Buyers don’t just choose the apartment. They choose who builds it. We measure how your developer brand is known, what associations it carries, and how those numbers move between launches, through brand awareness studies and continuous brand tracking. For B2B audiences like investors, contractors, and institutional partners, we add in-depth interviews to the standard awareness measures.

Buyer profile

Who is actually buying in your project? The investor who puts it up for rent the next day, the young family on a first mortgage, or the expat relocating from another city? We separate them through consumer profiling and usage and attitudes research, so you can see who visits, who signs, and who walks away at the down payment. Real work: the Romanian real estate investments study, segmented by purchase motivation.

Sales strategy

Between the first click on your website and a signed contract there are dozens of touchpoints: forms, showroom, call center, document delivery. The mortgage application is signed online at 2 a.m., long after your sales office has closed. We map the full route and identify where buyers drop off, through consumer experience research, then translate findings into an operational plan through marketing strategy.

Housing trends

Younger generations want something different from a home: energy efficiency, space to work, access to services within fifteen minutes. We measure these shifts and feed them into innovation and forecasting when you plan the next phase, or into a fresh market opportunity analysis when you evaluate an adjacent category, from materials to ventilation systems.

Common questions about real estate and construction research

How do you validate a residential project before launch?

We start with a market opportunity analysis on the target catchment: expected demand by price segment, the likely buyer profile, and direct competition within a 3 to 5 km radius. We follow with concept testing on sales materials, project name, and positioning, run with a financially qualified sample. The output is a clear recommendation on unit mix and list price.

What does a perception study for a real estate developer include?

A standard study measures spontaneous and aided awareness, brand associations, reputation on the dimensions that matter (quality, on-time delivery, trust), and a side-by-side with 3 to 5 named competitors. We run it as a one-off through brand awareness research or on a continuous basis through agile brand tracking, with semi-annual waves. For B2B segments we add in-depth interviews with partners and investors.

How do you measure buyer preferences for new apartments?

We combine consumer profiling with qualitative interviews and conjoint analysis, so you can see how buyers weigh price against location, surface, finishes, and developer reputation. Where the project already has traffic, we add consumer experience research in the showroom and across the digital journey, to find out where decisions get lost. See it applied in the Romanian real estate investments study.

How much does an opportunity study for an office project cost and how long does it take?

A quantitative opportunity study takes 4 to 6 weeks and starts from a few thousand euros, depending on sample size, geographic coverage, and the number of segments analyzed. A wave of brand tracking runs in 3 to 4 weeks. For an accurate quote, send us the project details and we’ll come back with numbers.
