Hi, it's Jackson Digney from Enduro Builders. We're just checking in to let you know that it's business as usual in the construction industry. We've been listed as one of the essential services in the economy, and it's really important that the construction industry keeps going. So if you're thinking of building or you're currently building, you know that your build will carry on unabated. We're here at Kerry Gully today. This house is a bit unique in that it's been custom designed to suit a man in a wheelchair. The homeowner still lives and works in Coober Pedy, and we have been able to stay in touch with him and keep him completely up to the minute on what's going on on site via our online project management system. So this has enabled him, even though he's remote from the job, he knows almost as much about what's going on as if he was living around the corner. We got in an occupational therapist to work with the homeowner, the architect, and us to make sure that as many of the details that are specific to the homeowner's needs were covered in the original design. We've done a lot of different things to make sure that the design and the functionality of the house suit his specific needs. This includes making sure that everything is set at the correct height so that he's able to access all of the parts of the house that you would normally be able to access. Make sure that you follow us on Facebook and YouTube to stay up to date with what's going on at Enduro Builders.
