Name: Joe Bousquin Construction Dive
Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-bkzq@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Construction Dive
Deadline: 5:00 PM PST - 23 November
Query:
Several construction projects that were already underway have
gone dark due to the uncertainty created by the COVID-19
pandemic. Now that we have promising preliminary results about
vaccines, what will the path forward be for getting projects off
the ground again? What are the impacts of shutting a project
down in the first place? Once you stop construction mid-stride,
what are the hurdles to getting it started again? How hard is it
to get the workers you had on the project back onsite? What
about scheduling conflicts if those subs have booked other jobs?
What about the financing that is funding the project? What is
the risk, once a project shuts down, that it may never get
started back up again? What are the best practices for making
sure that a project that is stopped eventually resumes? Are
there any other aspects of this topic you'd like to highlight?
I'd like to hear from construction professionals about the
implications of stopping a project that's already started, and
the best ways to get work started again once it has stopped.
Please contact Joe Bousquin at jbousquin@industrydive.com.

I'm writing a magazine article about disaster-prone homes for a

they're selling a home that's either been through a natural
disaster or might be at risk of one in the future; 2) how agents
can disclose information in a way that is responsible and
ethical, but also doesn't tank the potential sale; and 3) what
strategies can help agents market/sell disaster-prone homes,
given their inherent challenges. No phone pitches, please. Note:
Deadline listed is for accepting pitches; interviews will take
place subsequently.
Requirements:
I'm looking for marketing experts who can discuss marketing
strategies, legal experts who can discuss required disclosures
(which probably vary by state) and real estate agents who can
