Restoration vs. Construction: Understanding the Difference
Purpose of This Tool:
This one-page resource was developed to help restoration professionals educate policymakers and industry partners on the critical differences between restoration and general construction.
Why This Distinction Matters:
- Recognition as Emergency Responders: Restoration teams are the first line of defense after disasters, requiring fast mobilization and unique skill sets.
- Legislative & Regulatory Impact: Laws and regulations affecting construction do not always align with the needs of the restoration industry. Clear advocacy ensures restoration is properly represented in policymaking.
This tool equips restoration professionals with a concise and effective way to clarify their role and advocate and educate on what role the restoration trade has and help elevate our industry.
