Immediately upon hire, Elford approached the Owner about utilizing innovative supply chain and procurement strategies to offset supply chain disruption due to the global pandemic. Key components of this strategy included utilization of design-assist subcontractors for structural steel, roofing, glass and glazing, drywall systems, mechanical and plumbing systems, and electrical systems. This strategy also included the benefits of securing a substantial portion the workforce in the current construction
