Local construction businesses have been particularly hard hit by Governor Wolf’s “stay-at-home” order issued in response to the Covid-19 public health crisis.
Pennsylvania is one of only a few states that has ordered a stop to all active construction (with a few exceptions). Will Giesey, owner of Bellweather Design-Build, who also serves as President of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry for Chester and Delaware Counties, offered his insights on the shut down in a recent Philadelphia Inquirer article. “It’s a balance of managing the risk ofinfection vs. the benefits to all the suppliers, trade partners, homeowners, all the stakeholders that are affected by this,” Giesey said in the article.
Remodeling projects can take months to develop. Despite the shutdown, many parts of the business are able to function from the safety and comfort of our homes. Watch this video for a brief demonstration. We have all of the web-based tools needed to develop designs, write estimates, facilitate material selections, and plan remodeling projects of almost any scope and size. Now is the ideal time to start planning and designing your future project so we can hit the ground running when the shut–down comes to an end.
