COVID-19 has impacted every community across the country, but how do the new coronavirus restrictions affect home building?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Department of Homeland Security has deemed housing a part of our nation\u2019s \u201cessential critical infrastructure workforce\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local authorities have always had strict guidelines for builders to abide by. Today, in a world impacted by COVID-19, these rules have been enhanced in order to protect everyone on the construction site, as well as our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Collins Builders, we didn\u2019t wait for the government to give us the word. Even before the \u201cshelter in place\u201d ordinance from the COVID-19 outbreak, we made it a priority to take all the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe, from our team of employees to our subcontractors, to our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognize our responsibility to the community, which means preventing further spread of COVID-19. We have rolled out training sessions and adapted policies to be in step with the current climate, ensuring that we\u2019re keeping everyone as safe as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Steps We’re Taking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jobsite Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our job sites are following the recommended safety protocols and continuing to closely monitor safety, as we always have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual Meetings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are offering virtual meetings with new clients, as an option, to discuss their projects from the safety of wherever they may be. Since we typically use technology for many aspects of our business, the only thing that has changed is that we are speaking and seeing each other more often through a computer instead of in person. Everything else is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Trade Partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are reaching out to our trade partners to make sure that they are okay and training them on the help they can get to keep their businesses operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect Time for Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is actually a great time to meet with us to discuss your project because we have more time right now to devote to each client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction companies have quickly ramped up their safety measures. Building sites have been orchestrated with precision \u2013 mandatory social distancing, regular washing of hands, and the methodical scrubbing down of all of the surfaces are just a few things that Collins Builders is doing to keep everyone safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if the question you\u2019ve been wondering is whether you can hire a building contractor to take on your project, the answer is yes. We will continue to design and build new custom homes<\/a>, just with stricter measures in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always important to do your research on any custom builder before hiring them, but now it\u2019s even more important than ever. So, when moving forward with your build, there are a few things that you\u2019ll need to keep in mind when considering a building company that not only meets your requirements and standards but also takes extra precautions to keep health and safety first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
