Electrical Estimators should be considering allowances for direct and indirect disruption.
It can impact you and your business in several ways, internally and externally.
Covid Internal Factors
Internally your workforce and management resources may be prohibited from moving freely or forced to self-isolate.
Covid External Factors
Construction Site will have additional precautions to follow, these may vary by site and are bound to impede your working day, it may be that the procedures prevent between 5% and 20% of the work being carried out normally.
This could be twofold, restricted space to work to maintain social distancing and hygiene measures taken to restrict the spread.
You may also experience supply chain/sub-contractor interruptions due to manufacturing delays or transport and shipping delays.
