Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Institute of Architects posted guidelines that the city of Austin is mandating for architects and builders to ensure the safety of workers and the continuation of building projects that are currently in progress.

The precautions are as follows:

Requirement for workers to wear face masks

Maintaining a 6-foot distance from each other

Staggered shifts for sites with more than 10 workers

Daily COVID-19 briefings to reiterate safety requirements

Hand-washing stations and restroom facilities placed at least six feet apart

No-touch trash cans and single-use, disposable paper towels provided

COVID-19 Safety Monitor personnel

These mandates apply to the construction of new-build homes. Here at Waterloo we are taking measures to show these homes to you, in a safe, reliable, and productive way.

We are utilizing technology to provide virtual home tours, and practicing safe showing techniques such as wearing appropriate gloves and masks and maintaining 6ft distance while in the home. We are also working with title companies to handle closings remotely.
