Navigating the Covid-19 Pandemic as a construction business

2020 was a year like no other, and the construction industry was not immune to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses were forced to navigate a rapidly changing landscape, including sudden shutdowns and decreased demand for services. In this blog post, we’ll explore how one construction company navigated the challenges posed by the pandemic and ultimately found success.

The beginning of the pandemic was uncertain and scary, with the mayor of Kansas City cracking down on non-essential workers. In this uncertain environment, the construction industry was deemed essential, allowing companies to continue working. However, as the pandemic took hold and the economy struggled, many clients began to cancel projects, leading to decreased demand for services. The company was able to keep its head above water by pivoting to stormwater management work, which was deemed essential and allowed them to continue operating.

As the pandemic continued, business began to pick back up. The company and its competitors all had to reduce their budgets and make plans for who to lay off in the event that things did not improve. But as it turned out, people started calling again, and the company was able to jump on new projects and see success.

It was not an easy road, and the company experienced its share of stress and uncertainty. But through it all, they were able to remain resilient and ultimately find success in the face of the challenges posed by the pandemic.

This blog post serves as a testament to the resilience of the construction industry and the importance of adapting to changing circumstances. By pivoting to new work and staying agile, companies were able to weather the storm and emerge on the other side with newfound success. It’s a lesson that can be applied to any industry and serves as a reminder of the importance of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.
