SHELTER in PLACE POLICIES & CONSTRUCTION:

GUIDANCE for CONSTRUCTION  DOCUMENT RELEASED by CITY OF AUSTIN 

Today, both Austin Mayor Adler and Travis County Judge Eckhardt released their respective Stay Home - Work Safe orders in response to concerns about COVID-19.  The City of Austin order is here and the one for Travis County is here.  

Despite numerous conclusions by industry experts that those orders both deem all construction as "critical infrastructure" and therefore allowed to continue, the City has now issued an official guidance document  that restricts commercial and residential construction activities except in very limited situations.  

Having just received this document we have not had time to prepare any further guidance for you at this time, but we will send you an update as soon as possible tomorrow.  
 

Sincerely,

Phil Thoden
President and CEO
