Communication is Key to Managing Material Shortages

By Cass Jacoby, RCS Reporter.  

Still feeling the effects of COVID-19, the construction industry needs a platform that makes it easy to communicate and stay in the loop. 

We are well into 2021 and the construction industry is still feeling the impact of Coronavirus restrictions. Amidst the post-pandemic boom, severe shortages on materials are becoming the newest challenge to the industry. Supply chains disrupted by lockdowns, tariffs and other factors caused delays and limited availability on top of surging prices.  

Given the massive disruption, communication and resourcefulness from roofing professionals is more important than ever. As the material shortages continue, what becomes increasingly clear is that communication with a team, across departments and with the customer, is paramount to managing these historic shortages.
