WORK-AROUND

CONSTRUCTION BUSINESSES CUT COSTS FOR AN UNCERTAIN SUMMER SEASON

No one was ready for the viral pandemic that brought the world to a shrieking halt for the first few months of 2020. Every industry is struggling to come to grips with this new normal, trying to keep their heads above water when states mandate they close their doors.
