COVID-19 has affected the construction industry in many ways. This is most prominent when it comes to construction delays due to labor and material shortages, travel restrictions and the loss of face-to-face contact with clients, but that’s not holding the Gulfstream team back in any way. Through state-of-the-art builder software to streamline the process, Gulfstream Homes is able to keep clients updated on the current status of their projects, and with modern technology advances, the team is able to meet virtually with clients, so that all parties remain safe. Only working with high-quality subcontractors, limiting workers on the job site and maintaining a 5:1 ratio of jobs per superintendent, the Gulfstream team is ensuring that home building continues on the Island safely and efficiently.

Gulfstream Homes (www.gulfstreamhomes.com) recognizes that amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic, safety is a top priority, which the team takes very seriously. With a celebrated reputation in the area of building exceptional homes, the Gulfstream team excels with its Gulfstream Advantage, which features a suite of services, like design consultation, lot selection and floorplan customization to enhance the building experience. Through increased safety measures, the home builder has been able to continue on with building on Marco Island, while keeping clients, even those who live out of the country, updated on their home’s progress.

Michael Peel, Co-Founder of Gulfstream Homes, speaks about the challenges and how the team has overcome them.

“We have always been one of the more efficient builders in Collier County in our 23 year history, and we recognize that building quickly is good for us, our customers and our neighbors. Due to the challenges posed by COVID-19, we had to take extra steps to ensure safety on our job sites through more use of technology to communicate with our clients, limiting the number of workers on-site and always ensuring that we’re adhering to all safety and health mandates. Through this, we were able to continue on with some prominent projects on the Island, “ he explains.

As the State of Florida continues to be under a Stay at Home mandate, single-family construction remains essential and is not subject to this mandate. Because of this, construction is continuing, but procedures and protocols have been put into place to ensure the safety of all involved in building and buying these homes. Gulfstream Homes is restricting work on all its home sites to one vendor at a time with the Field Managers scheduling the subcontractors accordingly. While onsite, the Gulfstream team is asking all subcontractors to wear protective masks if possible and if available. Field Managers are also available via mobile phone; however, in-person meetings are being discontinued until further notice. If a Gulfstream team member is present with a client onsite, both parties are requested to wear protective masks if possible.

Gulfstream Homes (www.gulfstreamhomes.com) is also rolling out a new virtual way for clients to set up meetings and tour their homes under construction from the comforts of their homes. Through Skype and FaceTime, as well as phone calls and distance-in-person consultations, clients are able to schedule sales and contract appointments with the Gulfstream team. This will help to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, yet will help clients and prospective clients to be able to continue on with their home project.

Michael Peel, Co-Owner of Gulfstream Homes speaks about this new process and how it will impact the home building industry.

“As an essential business, we have a responsibility to our clients and our team to remain safe. We appreciate all cooperation with these new policies, and we hope to keep our jobsites on schedule and without significant delays. Through new practices and procedures, we are happy to be able to assist our clients with their home building projects during this difficult time,” he explains.
