What are some recommendations that you can provide clients as part of a larger overall strategy that enables them to maximize their efforts during this time?

With the COVID-19 restrictions in place, and with construction slowdown, there is still much to be done in preparation for when these restrictions are lifted. We are working with all parties to educate them on virtual meetings, including Zoom and Go To Meeting.
