Partial Shutdowns • Social Distancing • Employee Absenteeism • Employee Turnover • Personal Protection Equipment • 
Safety Measures • And more... 

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 ongoing projects, there may be issues with crew continuity, material delays and construction means-and-methods — particularly related to social distancing, safety and personal protection equipment (PPE). The results are possible critical path delay, loss of labor productivity and financial damages.

This recorded webinar focuses on the impact costs primarily related to increased job costs due to labor and lost productivity issues. Using a workshop approach, this webinar will provide a practical tutorial where attendees are provided specific steps and tasks needed to assemble a comprehensive and reasonable cost proposal, including sample tables and calculations. An Excel spreadsheet will be provided for attendee use in developing their own cost models. Owners and construction managers will learn more about the COVID-19 implications and will be in a better position to understand and negotiate any claims for lost productivity costs.

Listen in on this exclusive event with recognized scheduling and labor productivity experts Bill Schwartzkopf, Don Harrington and Dave Halligan as they provide valuable insights into the realm of lost productivity identification, measurement and cost calculations.

This exclusive recorded webinar reviews the various productivity impacts that have emerged as a result of the Coronavirus, examine methodologies that might apply in the measurement, quantification and pricing of these impacts, including…

• Three-pronged approach for recovery (forward pricing, actual costs, lost productivity calculations).
• Documentation - what documentation is needed; types of documentation, how to incorporate/present into a proposal, etc.

• Review of the various categories of lost productivity identified as unique to the Coronavirus including social distancing, effect of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), safety measures - employee health checks at start and stop of shifts, special precautions for handling materials, impact on learning curves due to shutdowns, mobilization/demobilization, mothballing/restoring equipment and supplies, impact due to delayed inspections/non-inspections, permitting, utility company and other third-party participants, smaller crews due to sick or symptomatic employees, and disruption due to sick or symptomatic supervision and key employees.
