The impact of the COVID-19 emergency including containment efforts have created challenging situations for many Atlanta businesses, both initially and through reopening. During the first weeks of forced business closures and shelter in place orders, individuals and businesses were required to significantly change everyday patterns. Not only were local stores, restaurants and gathering places closed, but many did not want to risk going out for fear of infection. As the weeks passed businesses were challenged with difficult decisions about how to manage payroll and other expenses without revenue. For those who survived, the next challenge has been finding a path forward in a time of uncertainty. Although deemed an essential business, the construction industry has faced similar challenges from cancellations to a reduced number of new projects available. In fact, the latest Associated General Contractors (AGC) Coronavirus Survey results reflect a trend of continued project cancellations in contrast to increased hiring. To help clients, prospects and others, Wilson Lewis has provided a summary of key information below.
About the Survey
The survey was conducted online between June 9th – 17th and includes 635 total responses. The survey included businesses focused on building construction, highway, utility, federal and other types of construction projects. The survey is part of an ongoing series conducted by the AGC.
