SPFA has partnered with many related trade associations, such as the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) and National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), to turn up the volume on our collective voices calling for construction to remain operating as an essential business. Some states have been much more restrictive than others. ConstructionDive hosts a map of various operating conditions of each state. NAHB also has a map that works well. Linked below are recent NAHB and NRCA letters and positions that SPFA is supporting. SPFA advocates residential and commercial construction, insulation and roofing, as essential services that can continue during the COVID-19 outbreak on the basis of: Adjacent trades are often operating at a distance naturally on a job site, SPF contractors in particular utilize PPE on the job site adding a higher level of protection, and professional contractors are oriented toward adhering to important safety protocols. For all of these reasons and more that SPFA will be expanding upon in our own industry letter, SPF contractors should be deemed essential elements of continuing construction business, and lessening the industry's negative impact as another victim of the economic impacts of COVID-19.
