The COVID-19 pandemic brought significant challenges for many industries, particularly those reliant on global supply chains and skilled labor. But when asked about the potential impact of such challenges on the Sun Coast Beach Club development, Kevin asserted that they have not experienced any labor shortages. “As of today, we don’t [have a labor issue]. We have a team set up and ready to go, and we’re about to start construction at the end of this month (March).” Regarding materials and supply chain issues, Kevin acknowledges the global problem, but remains confident that the project will not face significant challenges. He explains that they have been working on the development for the past two years, spending considerable time identifying the necessary materials and accessories. This careful preparation has allowed them to mitigate potential supply chain disruptions. “We don’t foresee any challenges because the project has been in the making for quite a while, and we’ve thought through everything carefully,” he says. With a dedicated team in place and careful planning to address potential challenges, the Sun Coast Beach Club development is set to progress smoothly amid lingering effects of the pandemic.
