Construction in the COVID-19 ERA

The arrival of COVID-19 has affected school and community college districts in significant ways. 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

This webinar covered how COVID-19 is affecting important construction planning activities like building your team of key construction consultants (Architects, Construction Managers, Program Managers), and implementing various project delivery methods (Single-Prime/General Contractor, Multi-Prime, Lease-Leaseback, Design-Build). 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.
