The construction industry will not be spared from impact by COVID-19. As is any other business in the middle of this global crisis, we are diligently seeking to understand how our operations and customers could be affected. After initial review, we determined that a disruption to the global supply chain of construction materials is most probable.
Approximately 30% of construction materials in the United States comes from China, including products like ceramic tile, sinks, lighting fixtures, nails, and screws. Depending upon materials selected for a custom home project, the origination of COVID-19 in China could result in the delay of these materials getting to construction sites. Selecting materials that are sourced domestically would be a viable and relatively simple solution to this potential problem.
Whatever the impact, we promise to work diligently to ensure that our customers are completely satisfied with the end result of the construction of their dream home.
Stay healthy, take care of your family, and lend a hand to your neighbor during this challenging time. Additionally, keep calm and wash your hands.
