Over the last four weeks, Engineered Systems has tracked the results of two Clear Seas Research surveys that examined how architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms and mechanical systems companies are navigating their way through the coronavirus pandemic.
The results of the third wave of this survey are now in, and the data, collected April 16-20, paints a more optimistic outlook that its predecessors.
In the most recent survey, 30% of AEC companies announced they intend to temporarily suspend employees (with or without pay) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an 8% decrease from the April 2-6 survey, and a 10% reduction from the March 24-26 results.
As time ticks on, and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, Engineered Systems remains committed to providing the most up-to-date, pertinent information possible to help facility managers and consulting/specifying engineers manage their operations during this unprecedented time. The quotes included in this article were provided by those completing the survey. We hope you find this study worthwhile.
A total of 416 AEC companies and 93 mechanical systems representatives responded to the April 16-20 survey. Cumulatively, across all three surveys, representatives from 1,068 AEC and 261 mechanical systems companies participated in the survey.
