Building Resilience: Why construction contractors should develop a harm statement in response to COVID-19
Baker Tilly’s podcast series for contractors responding to COVID-19 and preparing for a rebound
As your company reacts and changes to address all the new rules and regulations resulting from COVID-19, you’ve likely already incurred additional costs beyond what was expected. From work-from-home expenses to new technologies, all current and future costs should be documented in a harm statement. This statement serves as an inventory of past costs and expected future costs from a contractor’s COVID-19 response. Join special guests, Tony Ollmann and Jim Miller, as they discuss why a harm statement is especially important in today’s environment, what costs should be documented and what contractors should be considering regarding the impacts to future revenue.
