Covid-19: Impact on the Fiscal Position

I was interested when Mr. Barnes stated: "Excess capacity in construction may create opportunities." I hear what he is saying in respect of the repurposing of labour that had been dedicated to commercial space construction, but we are looking at a stimulus package that will, presumably, include significant capital expenditure on infrastructure projects by the State.
Is that the only assumption behind that statement or is there anything else there?
