Effective construction site management during and post COVID-19
Jack O'Regan
Associate Director
Africa
When the pandemic first hit East Africa in early March, the majority of developers hibernated their projects due to supply chain disruptions and isolation measures put in place by governments across the region. These caused delays on programmes, loss of efficiencies and cost implications.
More recently, with the realisation that the situation is unlikely to change in the short term, clients are taking action now to safeguard against the impact of site closures in the near future.
Together with the Kenya Property Developers Association we hosted a webinar on effective management of construction sites during and post COVID-19 where we explored the perspectives of a developer, contractor, architect and project manager on how to effectively manage construction sites during and post COVID-19.
Associate Director Jack O'Regan hosted the webinar and was joined by:
- Arthur Adeya – Technical Director, Centum Real Estate
- Mutua Mutuku – Managing Director, Symbion Architects
- Jayant Raghwani – Senior Project Manager, Laxmanbhai Construction
- John Mulatya – Associate Director, Turner & Townsend
