However, while RCL is a highly popular and successful construction firm, that’s not to say that it hasn’t faced its challenges – Especially in the form of the covid-19 pandemic, which plungedmany contractors into one of themost testing times in history. As countries across the globe introduced lockdowns and other restrictions, supply chain management was affected badly. During the early months of the pandemic, many contractors were unable to source basic materials, such as sand, cement, and bricks, while also suffering from labour shortages. For example, in the UK, a national shortage of plaster led to significantly increased costs at one point. RCL was fortunate that it had good contacts and suppliers and that its workflow was only affected minimally. Having shown its resiliency when it comes to facing challenges and completing projects, it’s easy to see what makes RCL Builders such an award-winningbusiness.
