Dear BD+C Readers,
During the past two weeks, we've heard from a handful of AEC firms about their measures to reduce the risk of infection from COVID-19 while maintaining business operations and keeping their clients' projects on schedule and budget.
We'd like to hear from you on how your firm is handling business operations and projects during the coronavirus outbreak.
Can you please take three minutes to complete this eight-question blind survey? The results will be published this week on BDCnetwork.com.
TAKE THE AEC BUSINESS IMPACTS FROM COVID-19 SURVEY
Thanks!
