#80 Covid 19: Construction Copes with the Pandemic


Listen Later

It is by now a topic that sadly needs little introduction. It has impacted everyone in the last year. Changed lives and livelihoods, overturned entire sectors, and altered the global balance of power

Our way of living and working has changed, and only in the last couple of weeks has hope appeared in the distance, as two vaccines appear potentially viable… offering protection in up to 95% of people who receive them.

While this offers us hope that the coming years will be brighter, we are still very much living with the virus. And like every other industry, construction has been affected. Some have been hit worse than others, and this episode we will be looking at the results of some research into how the industry has been coping.

In this episode we have partnered with Autodesk Construction Solutions and will be looking at how construction firms have coped with Covid-19 and how it has exacerbated problems that have been around for longer than the current crisis.

Guests

Amanda Fennell, Head of EMEA Marketing, Autodesk Construction Solutions

Paul Hagan, Director, Churchill Construction

Simon Raddings, Director, Radd Constructions

Supporter

Autodesk is the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry’s partner in the future of design and construction.
