For construction, didn't impact us for current operations.

All of our work considered essential.

A lot of the of people don't realize with construction all depends on our backlog.

We won't see how it effects based on koe vit or months from now.

Six months from now, seven, eight month.

I can't tell you the monetary impact it has had.

It has improved health and awareness on site.

Also we have goals.

Goals to go and build and construct projects for our clients who want us to build more.

>> think about it.

With everything going online, everyone stuck at home.

Need for brick and morter places became less and less essential.

People still have to live.

Coronavirus isn't going to last forever.

Neighborhood and communities still flourishing.

What is the typical scale if the mural behind you is any indication?

>> yeah, we like to set a time and time again.

We consider ourselves dynamic.
