Video: Chris Cooper on surge in construction advisory services amid Covid-19

Formed in 2019 by Chris Cooper, GIGS Advisory was set up mainly because of Cooper’s passion for “positive impact commercial and contract management can have on not just a single project, but an overall business”.

On Covid-19 affecting global economies: “No one has experienced these circumstances before. I have lived through recessions, ups and downs, but this [Covid-19] feels different.

“A majority of the people are in this together, because this is really unprecedented, and people are trying to work it out together.”

“The industry as a whole takes this experience and adapts and looks at new ways of working.”

“People are taking the advantage to do refurbishments. So instead of doing it when they have to actually turn away customers, they are doing the planned work , which they were going to do may be in the Summer or during the quieter times, now.”

“There is adversity, but there is also an opportunity.”
