Construction in the COVID-19 ERA

Part I of DWK’s three-part webinar series investigated how COVID-19 affects different aspects of district construction projects – from planning to related property, environmental, and regulatory issues to contractor claims. Join our panelists as they discuss the impacts of COVID-19 and strategies for effectively resolving those impacts.

COVID-19 Impact on Construction Project and Capital Facilities Program Planning

The panel discussed the impacts of local county orders and social distancing requirements, and strategies for adapting district planning and procurement in a legally compliant and efficient way.
