As cities across the globe implemented stay-at-home orders and limited public activities, the construction industry (among many others) was contending with a slew of unknowns. Do we need to shut down our jobsites? Where do we find PPE? How do we practice social distancing in the confines of our sites? Despite different governments, geographies, and circumstances, Pavarini McGovern in New York and Structure Tone in Dublin shared a number of strategies for managing the ever-moving targets related to COVID-19—which ultimately helped both companies protect their jobsites, inspire their workers, and help...
