Construction has been deemed as essential labor during the social-distancing period mandated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite continuing activity on building projects, some construction companies report the situation is still causing drops in revenue that might last for months.

While the building process is being slowed by social distancing, Gibson says projects appear to be getting done safely and at good pace.
