The President of the main property developers’ associations in the country, Madrid’s Asprima and the national APCEspaña, Juan Antonio Gómez-Pintado, has minimised the impact that the coronavirus, and the State of Emergency to combat it, are having on the construction sector. According to Gómez-Pintado, it is only in Madrid, where the most cases are currently being recorded, where activity at building sites has been affected, with a decline of between 20% and 30%.
“Building sites are most affected in Madrid, followed by Barcelona and Levante, where the degree of contagion is less. In Madrid, builders are working at 70% or 80% of capacity and in the rest of Spain, it’s business as usual, with no impact being felt, “said the President of the property developers’ association in a virtual meeting organised by Grupo Iberinmo.
