While tradespeople and construction workers in Australia are still allowed to operate during the coronavirus shutdown, the sector is experiencing heightened volatility.

While tradespeople and construction workers are still allowed to operate during the coronavirus shutdown, the sector has seen heightened volatility. While the demand for some trades has risen, others are losing business rapidly."We've certainly seen quotes and new orders come off, to the tune of around 30 to 40 per cent," he told SBS News.Maintenance and repair jobs are dwindling, with residential customers increasingly unsure about letting tradespeople onto their properties.

CEO of Master Builders Australia Denita Wawn is calling on governments to step in and back new infrastructure projects to cover the shortfall. "For us to continue to work we will need more support, and we would much rather governments provide stimulus support to our industry as opposed to subsidies for those who cannot work."

The health advice also allows home visits, and glazier Adrian Grocott says those working in construction are well aware of the importance of maintaining safe practices. "Of all people, tradies are well-versed in the practice of assessing risk and establishing work methods to manage that risk," he said.People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others and gatherings are limited to two people unless you are with your family or household.
