The presence of COVID-19 is having a big impact on the construction industry. The two primary impacts on construction projects from COVID-19 are suspension and lost productivity. For projects that are suspended or slowed, there is the potential that idled workers will not return to their projects. For onboarding projects, there may be issues with crew continuity, material delays and construction means-and-methods – particularly related to social distancing, safety and personal projection equipment (PPE). The results are possible critical path delay, loss of labor productivity and financial damages.
This three-part online training program touches on these issues and includes discussions of the latest COVID-19 advisories issued by the US Government that may require action on the part of construction managers and contractors in order to preserve rights and obtain relief as to project schedules. In most cases, contract terms and conditions will continue to be enforced, and as such, contractors need to be aware of notice deadlines, the content of notices and ways to measure schedule and labor productivity impacts.
