If you are a contractor or a client, here is the information that you need to know:
YOU ARE A CLIENT
You can carry on with your quote process but you must prioritize remote ways of communicating. For example, you can communicate with contractors through video calls or send them pictures by email to help them present a detailed quote. Here is more information on this subject: Renovation projects in the time of COVID-19
YOU ARE A CONTRACTOR
Unless the work is considered an essential service, you cannot meet with the clients to present a quote or to carry out the work. Here are 2 articles that could help you in the current situation: 3 tips to present quotes remotely and Guide to financial assistance programs for Canadian businesses
HERE ARE THE PROJETS THAT ARE CONSIDERED AS ESSENTIAL SERVICES
These projects can still be carried out in the current crisis (check with you provincial authorities to make sure this applies):
- Plumbing issues that keep the system from working correctly;
- Electricity problems that affect the way the system works;
- Repairs that must be made to fix a dangerous problem (bulging brick wall, broken window, broken door, water infiltrations, natural disaster);
- Heating problems;
- Issues with locks.
