Anyone know how construction is going to feel this or if projects will be allowed to continue?

We won't be impacted much this year

We've heard rumors of the city shutting down inspections which will essentially force us to stop but so far we've been getting them.
I think they will be allowed to continue but I think new construction is going to take a nosedive. Hopefully only temporarily but who knows how long that will be.COSCAG67 said:

For what it is worth, we have had 10 months of design backlog evaporate over the last week. Nationals appear to be pulling back and holding onto their cash for the time being.
People are cautiously optimistic that we will restart some of them in Q3.
Time to buckle down.
The same applies to commercial construction, but since Austin has specifically noted most construction as non-essential and the Fed hasn't made a declaration, we're still stuck with what the AHJ says.law-apt-3g said:
Steve's opinion of essential more of an outlier. DHS weighs in with residential homebuilding.

We are still working to make our major commercial projects safe to abandon, but that takes time beyond the 3 days given. It's not as simple as packing up and going home.

My house is standing unbuilt with thousands of dollars of lumber on the ground under tarps. The framing crew "cleaned up" and left Friday morning.
What can we do to move Adler? I'm going to have to pay interest on this loan indefinitely if they suspend as long as he wants. It's ridiculous that he can stop everything county wide as the mayor; my house is in Lakeway ETJ.
