The fact is building professionals and their suppliers are taking all the necessary precautions of social distancing seriously by changing their daily routines with other trade partners on the job sites. As one Illinois builder, Nelson Builders informed their partners, “…it will not mean business as usual. We want to be responsible in our actions and make sure we are doing our part to limit the spread of the virus.” It’s quickly becoming common practice for every workplace still operating to stay clean, inspected, protected and crews scheduled for proper distancing.

At Woodland, we’re taking all necessary precautions while we’re busy supporting local builders as they do their best to keep their projects on track. The show must go on.
