In recent months, nearly every aspect of society has been
affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The construction industry has
not been spared. Globally, businesses and economies have been
brought to their knees and, in an ultra-globalized world, a tangled
web of risks and challenges for employers, contractors and other
stakeholders in the construction industry have emerged.
COVID-19 has not, broadly speaking, rendered construction
projects impossible to complete, but it has drastically slowed them
down and caused delay and disruption, even if only because supply
chains have been severely disrupted. Depending on the region, many
projects have even been stopped, usually however, with the
intention to resume work at a later date.
