A recent web presentation from Principia Consulting looked at “what if” scenarios for COVID-19’s impact on building products demand and residential construction activity.
The company compared its pre-COVID projections for net manufacturer revenue across eight building product categories, to the same in a scenario in which federal social distancing guidelines continue for 75 days (or until May 30.) The finding: 91% of those pre-COVID projections can be expected in the new scenario.There eight categories showed very little deviation, ranging from 89% to 92% of the pre-COVID scenario.
