A WEEK WITH BIA
Dear Member:

The novel coronavirus has unarguably changed the way we do business. It has been and will no doubt continue to be a challenge.

Our industry has been given tremendous responsibility. When the Governor defined our industry as essential , he put trust in us to continue to provide desperately needed housing while keeping our employees and the public safe and healthy.

Recognizing our great responsibility, we must ensure the safety and cleanliness of our jobsites. We saw our members develop preventative jobsite sanitation protocols overnight, which have been in effect now for weeks. Feel free to use our simple recommendations if you need help. I implore you to use caution daily and follow your company safety guidelines with militant precision. We cannot afford to lose our vigilance; the public is counting on us.

This week, BIA was quoted on job safety and the essential work being done by the homebuilding industry in Commercial Observer , click here to read the article.
