Who Doesn’t Like The Feeling of a Job Well Done?

Johan Bohlmann and Alex Rogers AC•Tech Field Operations

S

pecifier, contractor, architect, installer, project estimator, material purchaser, product manufacturer, building owner. We all feel the satisfaction when a project comes together as planned ... and our reputations go up a notch. That’s why AC•Tech puts so much emphasis on actually, physically “being there” when it counts.

It’s one thing to manufacture specialty coatings that have been engineered to perform. It’s quite another to invest in the technical expertise and field experience necessary to make these coatings actually meet the FIELD performance SPECIFIED. It’s one thing to provide a toll-free number to respond to problems and warranty claims after something goes wrong. It’s quite another to work with a specifier to design an appropriate system, to counsel a project manager in the most cost-effective application

protocol, and to train installers to overcome an unexpected concrete slab issue before it cascades into a catastrophic flooring failure.

So, we may advertise that AC•Tech “specializes in preventing excessive moisture, alkalinity, and oil contamination from causing commercial flooring failures in renovation, remodeling, and tenant improvement projects.”

And we may try to hype our industry awards for product and process innovation in moving moisture mitigation to Division 3 in ground-up, fast-track construction projects.

But, our measure lies in our attitude. We believe that helping everyone to do it right the first time is what builds success, reputation, and that “atta boy” feeling when all is said and done. And who doesn’t like that feeling?

EDITOR’S NOTE

by Michael J. Pallerino

Burn baby, burn

I

can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven over that bridge in the

extensive damage in both directions, collapsing 100 feet of the interstate’s northbound lanes. Seven hundred feet of 30 years I’ve lived in Atlanta. On one of the most heavily travelevated highway would have to be demoleled stretches of road in the country (yes, that’s a fact, folks), a ished and rebuilt.

All in all, the Georgia Department of massive fire started by a homeless man and his crack pipe caused Transportation (GDOT) estimated that the reconstruction effort would take at least the bridge on Interstate 85 to crumple to the ground in a several months.

What’s a city to do, right? “prime-time- bonafide-ready-made-headline-grabbing” mess.

For an inside look at one group’s story that worked on the book, check out “Rising Up – The fast track to rebuilding Atlanta’s I-85 bridge,” on page 185.

But for how long? And at what cost? To the scores of commuters (my youngest son included) who were helplessly, but safely, trapped for hours in the mother of all rush hour traffic nightmares, those questions didn’t seem important in the moment.

That would come later. The long-term “transportation crisis,” as Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed called it, would become the talk of the town. It wasn’t just I-85 that would feel the burn. Other local, state and regional arteries would be impacted, too. The fire caused

Following the first week after the collapse, crews working round the clock completed the heavy demolition and hauled away 13 million pounds of rubble.

It started with clean up. Following the first week after the collapse, crews working round the clock completed the heavy demolition and hauled away 13 million pounds of rubble. Construction kicked off immediately thereafter.

With crews and inspectors working non-stop, C.W. Matthews, the firm tasked with tackling the daunting task, finished the rebuild one month ahead of schedule. All told, six weeks from start to finish.

The day after the unveiling, my son, one of the many sidetracked during the collapse, called me to see he was rolling across the new structure on his way to work.

For an industry that prides itself on tackling even the most daunting of tasks, they were great words to hear.

The disruptors How Spence Diamonds is redefining the U.S. jewelry game

L

ast year, when Canada’s leading diamond jewelry retailer entered the U.S. market, heads turned. With splashy new stores in

Austin, Texas, San Jose, Calif. and Scottsdale, Ariz., it now is America’s best new secret.

The retailer’s innovative store concept combines a fun, transparent and educational experience in an open and bright environment.

Add this to its breakthrough product offering, namely its Artisan Created Diamonds™, and Spence Diamonds is the Apple of the jewelry retail game.

Founded in 1978, Spence is vertically integrated with offices and design studios in Antwerp, Belgium and Vancouver, Canada. Over the years, it has been recognized as one of Canada’s “50 Best Managed Companies” by the National Post, as well as one of the country’s “Most Admired Corporate Cultures” by Waterstone Human Capital.

Today, Spence is the only U.S. retail store where consumers can learn about and choose between traditional stones and new Artisan Created Diamonds, carrying a wide array of diamonds for engagement rings and in numerous exclusive jewelry designs.

Commercial Construction & Renovation sat down with Melissa Gallant, manager, New Store Development & Operations, to get a look at what the future holds for jewelry retail.

THE DISRUPTORS experience while educating them on various aspects of the company and its product.

Walk us through how and why it designed the way it is?

In designing our U.S. store concept, it was important to us that we reinvent the jewelry store shopping experience. The industry is experiencing slowed growth with many retailers looking dated. We really wanted to revive the image by creating a very unique shopping experience.

I think the two things that stand out the most is our use of technology through digital displays, smart glass and a paperless system. As well as our open bridal cases, that allow our customers to reach in, and try on any ring they like (they are prototypes) without feeling intimidated. We have married style with technology.

with like-minded contractors, mandating onsite recycling, manufacturing processes, to shipping fixtures in re-usable/recyclable materials. Although it is impossible to be perfect, we consider the impact of everything we do.

Talk about sustainability. What are you doing?

We are proud of our Artisan Created Diamonds, which are more sustainable, ethical and of better quality than mined diamonds. By creating these diamonds in our American-based manufacturer, we can guarantee that its origin is conflict-free. We are also able to minimize our environmental footprint by removing the intense impact of traditional mining.

From a store perspective, we are changing our operational processes to allow for paperless systems, installing water filters instead of giving out bottled water, using manufacturing processes that reduce waste while building long lasting fixtures and, of course, always looking for ways to improve.

Take us through your construction and design strategy.

With the opening of our first three U.S. stores, I was a one women team (internally).

So, it was really important that I create a close working relationship with my GCs, architect and suppliers. We all became a team, working together in unison.

The design of the stores is really still a work in progress. We took what we knew worked in the Canadian stores and combined that with our vision for the new U.S. concept, to create what we call Spence 2.0. We are constantly reviewing feedback and looking at ways we can improve for the next store.

Over my career, I have been lucky enough to work with some amazing contractors, so when I joined Spence they were excited to be a part of a new and exciting project. I really lean on them to help me keep the project on track and on budget. They have been great in finding ways to continue to improve our design and processes as well.

What’s the biggest issue today related to the construction side of the business?

For me, I’m extremely passionate about the environment and so the footprint construction leaves is an issue. I do everything I can to reduce this on a job site. From working

THE DISRUPTORS What is your growth plan?

What areas are you targeting?

We are hoping to add 40-50 stores to the U.S. market. We intentionally don’t have a rigid set of parameters for these locations at this point, as we want to review all variables on what has and hasn’t worked with the first three locations. Our presumption is that we would target hip, urban, mixed-use centers.

What trends are you seeing?

What do you see as some of your biggest opportunities moving ahead?

Thanks to the successful launch of Spence Diamonds in the high-traffic locations of San Jose, Calif., Austin, Texas and Scottsdale, Ariz., the company intends to open stores in other major U.S. markets during the next several years.

Spence also sees its Artisan Created Diamonds as the future of diamond jewelry. In being ethical, sustainable and higher-quality option, Artisan Created Diamonds have the potential to be the primary choice of purchases.

Are you optimistic about what you see in the retail sector?

Yes. Although the industry is continuously changing, I don’t see it going anywhere. I find it exciting. The consumer is evolving, shopping experiences and expectations are changing, and this keeps us on our toes.

It means we have to get creative, try new things and think outside the box. Building a store is building a store, but when you have to reinvent your approach, it keeps you engaged.

Why did you pick the locations you did for your stores?

There were a lot of long conversations about where was best to enter the U.S. market, to sum it up, our target market is there, the right real estate opportunity presented itself and it made sense from an operational perspective.

Retailers are really stepping out of the traditional model and mixing things up.

Spaces are becoming not only a place to shop, but a place to hang out and be social. I’m also seeing a lot of pop up and mobile shops that are allowing retailers to reach consumers beyond the traditional bricks and mortar. Change is happening and it is very exciting.

What is the secret to creating a “must visit” retail experience in today's competitive landscape?

Uniqueness, innovation, surprise. People are tired of the same old thing, they want something that is different, inspires them and really connects with them.

What’s the biggest item on your to-do list right now?

Prepping for the next round of stores. We have a lot of work to do to prepare for a successful rollout. I am lucky enough to be leading the charge with a fresh slate and an exec team that really supports me. I want to lay all the ground work now so that when they hit go we are ready to create the most beautiful diamond store experience possible.

Describe a typical day

My days are all over the map right now. I can typically be found reviewing RFPs, tending to maintenance requests, reviewing feedback, redesigning/ reengineering store elements, and creating process and procedures. I’m also working on improving our Canadian stores through an LED lighting retrofit and renovation planning. And, of course, there is always time to stop and check out a diamond or two!

Spence has re-written the rules on diamond shopping. Customers are free to browse at their own pace, thanks to our open showcases of designer prototypes and upfront pricing.

Our GIA-certified consultants educate and help find the perfect diamond that meets your needs. We even have a lounge at every store, where shoppers can relax or toast to their purchase.

At Spence, we want every customer to have an engaging and enjoyable experience.

Another distinctive feature about Spence Diamonds is our Artisan Created Diamonds – identical to mined diamonds in every way, but created in a plasma chamber instead of being dug out of the earth. These diamonds are physically, optically and chemically identical to the finest mined diamonds, but they are substantially larger than mined diamonds at any given price point. CCR

One-on-one with...

Melissa Gallant

Manager, New Store Development & Operations Spence Diamonds What’s the most rewarding part of your job?

Turnover day. I absolutely love seeing the final project come together and the amazement on the teams face when they see the store.

What was the best advice you ever received?

Don’t take sh*t personally. Filter through it and take the real message out. It’s hard when you are in the thick of a project, pouring your heart into it and people are commenting and giving you their feedback. Being able to step back and see it for what it is helps you keep perspective.

What’s the best thing a client ever said to you?

You are one of my favorite PMs to work with because you get it done.

Name the three strongest traits any leader should have.

Honesty, patience and empathy. Combine these three traits and you have a truly inspiring leader. Someone who communicates clearly, concisely and often motivates you to do your best all the time. They challenge you by setting high but attainable expectations and give you the support, tools and training to accomplish greatness.

What is the true key to success for any manager?

Their team. Fostering the right team of well supported, engaged and passionate employees will help lead any manager to success.

What’s your favorite vacation spot and why?

Tofino. My boyfriend, Scott and I go camping there every year with the dog (Vegas). We stay at a beautiful spot on the beach and spend the days exploring, relaxing and playing with the dog. It is pure bliss for all three of us.

What book are you reading now?

I don’t read a lot of books after work because they make me fall asleep. But my latest Netflix series is Riverdale. The characters are based on Archie Comics and it’s filmed here in Vancouver. It’s very dramatic (haha) and is fun to watch.

How do you like to spend your down time?

When I’m home. With my boys. Scott and I are parents to a dog (Vegas) and a cat (Earl). They are the loves of our lives and the best to come home to after a long stressful day.

We live in a beautiful city, so getting out and enjoying it as much as we can. Trying a new restaurant (there are so many), biking, sipping a cocktail on a patio, checking out a festival or when it’s rainy (which it is a lot), cozying up and watching a movie.

If I happen to get some spare time on the road, I like to get in a ball game. I love baseball and find it fun to check out the different stadiums. It’s so much nicer than sitting in your hotel room. And if I’m lucky, I can sucker my GC into coming with me. Go Red Sox!

editor’s note

Dream big, bet big, leave it all on the field

Michael J. Pallerino

There are a lot of lessons to be learned from the entrepreneurs who put everything on the line to walk through the fire that too many others fear.

100

CRAFT BRAND AND MARKETING

Nearly 20 years after Kevin Plank started making T-shirts in his grandmother’s Georgetown basement, his entrepreneurial legacy is one for the ages. Craft brewers take note.

There are lots of takeovers from an entrepreneur who defied all odds when he decided he would take on the big boys at a game (sports performance apparel) they already had a stake in.

Sports performance apparel, beer, does it really matter what it is?

What matters is how you tell the story of your brand. What matters is how your customers view what you do, how you do it and why.

Here’s a nugget from Plank’s book of beating the big boys at their own game. One of Plank’s tenets for running his company revolves around three statements.: “This is what I heard.” “This is what I think.”

“This is what we’re going to do.”

The founder and CEO of Under Armour encourages all of his people to use this approach in tackling their responsibilities.

Plank’s strategy is about making sure people’s voices are heard. Did I hear you? Did I understand your meaning? And then, he says, clarity.

Everyone must have a voice, and everyone deserves clarity. These are the tenants of leadership and culture that increase performance, satisfaction and speed.

Today, in case you haven’t noticed, Under Armour has leapfrogged every single one of its competitors, including Nike, whose revered Swoosh once dominated the sports apparel, performance and footwear market.

The secret lies in betting big. Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose. And while Plank will admit he doesn’t always have all of the answers, the key is giving it everything you have.

As Plank says, “I don’t have to be right. I just want to win.” It doesn’t have to be his idea. He just wants the best idea. And then his team will bring it to life.

There are a lot of lessons to be learned from the entrepreneurs who put everything on the line to walk through the fire that too many others fear. “We must protect this house.” That’s the slogan Plank and company built their reputation on.

I remember sitting with Plank in a trade show booth in Atlanta during the early years of his company. He spoke openly and honestly about his mission to make a name for his brand in the then highly competitive sports apparel performance market. Back then; he said all he needed was time and patience for his vision to play out.

It worked. And in a time when craft beer is all the rage, it just might for you, too.

Book Rec The Power of Little Ideas: A Low-Risk, High-Reward Approach to Innovation

By David Robertson To survive, companies must move beyond incremental, sustaining innovation and invest in some form of radical innovation.

That’s what conventional wisdom says.

“Disrupt yourself or be disrupted.”

In “The Power of Little Ideas,” authors David Robertson argues there’s a “third way” that is neither sustaining nor disruptive. This low-risk, high-reward strategy is an approach to innovation that all company leaders should understand so that they recognize it when their competitors practice it, and apply it when it will give them a competitive advantage.

Robertson provides illustrations of some well-known companies, including CarMax, GoPro, LEGO, Gatorade, Disney, and others, use this approach to stave off competitive threats and achieve great success. He outlines the organizational practices that unintentionally torpedo this approach to innovation in many companies and shows how organizations can overcome those challenges.

For leaders in the craft brew marketplace seeking strategies for sustained innovation, “The Power of Little Ideas” provides a logical, organic and enduring third way to innovate.

The percent of consumers who say they want brands to be honest in their social media posts, according to “The Q2 2017 Sprout Social Index.”

The report also shows that consumers want brand to be helpful (78 percent), funny (72 percent), trendy (43 percent) and politically correct (39%).

Interestingly. 39 percent say they want their brands to be more snarky. That’s one to raise a glass to.

They second that emotion What grabs your consumers' attention? What makes them want to be a part of your brand?

According to CustomerThermometer's "Connecting with Companies" report, 65 percent say they emotionally connect with a brand that makes them feel like it cares about people like themselves. The report, based on data from a survey of 1,000 adults in the United States, also says that 55 percent make an emotional connection when they feel like the brand is making a positive difference, while 45 percent say they connect when they feel like the brand gets them.

branding

By Kate Zabriskie

The real meaning behind what customers tell you (or don’t)

Your customers talk to you. But do you listen? I mean, really listen. When it comes to customer service, especially in the world of craft beer, what people say and what they mean are not always the same thing. Unfortunately, too many brands are listening impaired when it comes to getting to the heart of their customers’ messages.

There's just way too much of that "I’m-just-looking-I'll-get-backto-you" mentality. But do you understand what people mean when they say this? On the surface, sure you do. But do you really get your customer’s intended meaning?

Well, you'd better, or else you're going to lose out to the next cool craft beer brand.

The good news is there’s hope. With some practice and a little bit of discipline, you can ratchet up your service and grow your relationships.

Slowing down and focusing on what others need versus what you can provide is the first step. The second is to listen for a few key phrases and appropriately respond. The following are a couple of the most common red flags to which you should pay attention:

When customers say “maybe,” they often mean “no” Maybe we’ll place an order in six months. “Maybe” may mean never. When you hear that word, keep asking questions. Don’t wait six months and then act surprised when no order is forthcoming.

You have your customer or prospect’s attention now and a chance to both clear up some misconceptions and make a sale or at a minimum to understand why he is resistant.

• I understand you’re on the fence and ordering now isn’t in your plan. Between now and the time when you might order, how will you get ABC done?

• When you place an order six months from now, tell me a little about how it can improve your mix.

• What other brands have you considered?

Any of those follow-up questions will give you some insight into the other person’s needs and decision process.

Notice too, those questions aren’t “salesy.” Your follow-up questions – and you, for that matter – should show a genuine interest in your customers and their concerns.

The better you understand people and what motivates them, the more likely you’ll be able to help if there is a fit or to get a straightforward answer if there isn’t. The point is, when you hear “maybe,” investigate.

What in the world does "fine" mean?

In the same lane that the vague “maybe” occupies is another phrase that communicates very little. You’ve heard it before and probably used it yourself, and that’s the word “fine.”

"How is everything?"

"Everything’s fine."

Maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t. You can’t know unless you do a little more digging.

People often will say “everything is fine” in lieu of “go away” or “totally horrible, but I don’t

The better you understand people and what motivates them, the more likely you’ll be able to help if there is a fit or to get a straightforward answer if there isn’t.

feel like engaging in conversation about it.”

If you find yourself getting a lot of “everything’s fine,” make subsequent inquiries. At the same time, try to determine if you’re setting yourself up to hear this “tell-nothing” response.

By that, I mean “how is everything,” is a C-minus question to begin with.

If you ask something specific, you’ll learn more. When you ask what they like most about your beer, it's hard to answer with “fine.” Instead, you’ll most likely discover what your customers liked and what they didn’t.

When customers ask “why,” they are usually expressing displeasure of some sort

Why does my favorite distributor only offer one choice of your beer? Why aren't the others offered? Too often, service and salespeople miss the real meaning behind these inquiries.

Listen for “why,” and respond with something better than “I don’t know” or “you’ll have to ask my manager.” Although your customers aren’t jumping up and down with steam coming out of their ears or carrying gigantic flags with the word “why” emblazoned across them, somewhere lurking behind these questions are people on their way to unhappy.

Imagine a busy traveler on a tight schedule in a city unfamiliar to him. He hasn’t seen his own bed in two weeks, few of his daily flights have followed his published schedules, and he’s missing another one of his kid’s ball games.

Strategic thinking Inside the new game board for craft beer

By Eric Balinski

CRAFT BRAND AND MARKETING

MAY/JUNE 2017

CBAM-MAG.COM

Back on April 7, Jim Koch, the founder of Boston Beer, wrote an opinion piece in The New York Times. His article discussed beer industry consolidation forming the two worldwide players MillerCoors and InBev, as well as the implications for craft brewers and consumers. Koch ultimately fears: “Beer lovers won’t have the broad range of choices they have today.”

Koch’s article recognizes the craft beer industry is changing and perhaps the glory days of craft beer are over. Sure, better antitrust law enforcement and Department of Justice aren’t protecting craft brewers enough, but the real threat to the craft beer industry is if brewers fail to accept the changing landscape and then fail to build a strategy that adapts accordingly.

The value of developing a strategy is that it accounts for the changing dynamics. It should force a brewer to rethink what it is doing. The strategy process intent is to discover insights that enable a company to go in new profitable directions.

Strategy is about determining what you are going to deliver to customers, with your limited resources. Strategy defines the what, and more important, it is the focal point to deploy your resources.

An effective strategy should do two things: • Determine exactly what you are going to deliver to customers- both the product and customer experience • Subsequently allows alignment of your brewery, its staff, your marketing and

your capital to focus on delivering the product & experience you decided was important to your customers The challenge for most companies is figuring out how to do it?

While the process can be complex and never very linear, one of the most challenge aspects is in discovering fresh insights to build a new strategy around.

To discover fresh insights, start by grasping three core principles that allow you to see new and interesting aspects of your customer’s world: 1. Right Mind-Set – Get yourself in the right mindset by not wasting one moment thinking about the way the industry was. It’s not that way anymore, and it is never going back that way. Focus on creating a new revolution.

The goal is to help everyone recognize customer enjoy your brew, enjoys it in a number of ways and for different reasons.

2. No Beer – Put down the beer, the answer not in the glass. Yes, your love of beer led you to creating a brewery and a business. But the answer to figuring-out a strategy is not in your product.

As tempting as it is to believe you will invent the next great brew, the likelihood of achieving it is as likely as the SEC breaking up Miller-Coors or In-Bev. 3. M ake a Difference – Your insight into people is central to developing a successful strategy. This notion should echo in your brain… “How can we make a difference in our customers’ lives.”

Reinventing your invention Here's an example of what I mean. Take Yeti® coolers, the high performance ice chest that cost ten times more than an Igloo® or Coleman® cooler. In just over 10 years, Yeti grew to over a half billion dollar market leader and reinvented the cooler category.

Yes, it is a superior product – its coolers are "virtually indestructible" and the ice last practically forever.

This reinvention came by having a clear understanding of user lifestyle, in this case, a fisherman standing on anything to give them more height on the bow of a small fishing skiff to better spot fish.

CRAFT BRAND AND MARKETING

105

With space being scarce on a skiff, choosing a dedicated casting platform or a high performance cooler strong enough to pull double duty improves what the fisherman can do on a small skiff.

The insight for developing Yeti coolers came from its founders, Ryan and Roy Seiders, because they lived the life of fisherman/ outdoorsman who put serious demands on their equipment.

Maybe you already have insight like the Seider brothers. If so, act on it. Otherwise here is how you can develop unique customer insights for your craft brewery.

Step 1 Create a small team of your own people who actually have been around your customers. Do not involve any customers during this step (yes, I realize this sounds internal focused, bear with me).

There is no formula or software that will spit out what you need to do. It takes intuition and gut feel based upon your insight from this type of exercise.

Step 4

Ask each person to describe what they "see" and "hear" when watching customers enjoying, buying or talking about your brew. Create exact descriptors of what everyone sees or hears. Make no interpretations as to what anything means.

This will be hard for people so try this. Have everyone think of their brain as a video camera. You want them to hit playback, without any editing. People should only describe “exactly” what they have personally heard or seen.

Ignore anything that sounds like: someone said this or told me that, or I think this is what’s going on. Don’t let people interpret what they think they saw or heard. Force them to use “playback only.”

Summarize the descriptors of each type of customer, with a name that everyone on the team identifies as that customer type.

Don’t be surprised if you have three, four, or five different customers’ types.

If you have dozens of different customers, go back to Step 3 and ask what so some of the types have in common and reduce the number of groups to 3 to 5.

The goal is to help everyone recognize customer enjoy your brew, enjoys it in a number of ways and for different reasons.

The second goal is to identify common customer types is so you can effectively focus your resources. You effectively deploy a strtagy do this if you have dozens of customer types.

Step 3

Step 5

What should start to emerge are different patterns of what people are doing and saying. These are likely very different customer type showing themselves, so next name the different customer types.

Example: Beer snob – the person who painstakingly tastes a beer. Or maybe Party Person – the one who seems to go from beer to beer with little deference for what they are drinking.

Identify unique insights with what you learned. Looking separately at each group, ask these questions: • What really matters to these people?

Step 2

106

In this step, there are no wrong behaviors or bad customer type, nor should you be judging what anything means. Your job is to capture what's going on and try to group common behaviors styles of people.

In all likelihood, you will see multiple types. If you only see one type, keep pushing the team for anything else they saw or heard. Did anything look or sound unusual? You have to prime their minds to remember difference their brains recorded.

• Why does it matter?

• How well do we currently deliver what matters most to them?

• What can we do to make their life better?

• Why would they be better if we did this?

There is no formula or software that will spit out what you need to do. It takes intuition and gut feel based upon your insight from this type of exercise. It is likely to take multiple sessions before the light bulbs come on showing new insight, but they will show up.

At the point of frustration, keep going back to Step 5.

In closing, how did Yeti make a fisherman on a small skiff life

The value of developing a strategy is that it accounts for the changing dynamics. It should force a brewer to rethink what it is doing. better? Instead of buying a dedicated casting platform, the Yeti cooler became a structural platform costing about the same as the old platform and freed up deck and floor space.

Secondly, because the brothers knew a long day on the water historically meant warm drinks and maybe spoiled food or caught fish, their coolers kept ice for days making for a far more enjoyable day on the water.

Inside Brewdog’s strategy to revolutionize the craft beer experience

By Michael J. Pallerino

Two guys, a dog and slogan for the ages. If you want the snapshot of the Brewdog story, let's start there. Bored with the industrial-styled lagers and way too stuffy ales of the UK beer landscape, James Watt and Martin Dickie decided to take matters into their own hands.

The high school friends from Peterhead, a fishing town northeast of Scotland, traveled slightly different paths to reach craft beer nirvana. Watt studied law and economics in Edinburgh, while Dickie attended the prestigious school of brewing and distilling at Heriot-Watt University.

The convened at a time when the craft beer market needed them most. Inspired by the slogan that drives them, “Love Hops and Live the Dream,” Watt and Dickie began producing craft beer under the monicker, Brewdog, back in 2007.

BrewDog was one of Britain's first breweries to pioneer a new wave of hoppy, American-style "craft" beers, inspired by breweries on America's West Coast, most notably Stone Brewing and Ballast Point of San Diego. To note, its Punk IPA is one of the most popular and recognizable brands of British craft beer.

CRAFT BRAND AND MARKETING

109

Their recipe – and innovative marketing strategies – continues to pay off. Today, there are 50 BrewDog Bars in the United Kingdom and overseas, a rapidly expanding brewery in Scotland, more than 400 incredible crew members, and 35,000-plus “Equity for Punks” shareholders.

And the beat goes on for the brewer that is known for, among other things, marketing initiatives such as dropping taxidermied “fat cats” over the city and driving a tank to the Bank of England.

CBAM sat down with Watt, captain and co-founder, to get his take on the never-ending story that is Brewdog.

What is the BrewDog story from a brand perspective?

Martin and I realized that we were bored of the industrially brewed lagers and stuffy ales that dominated the UK beer market. We decided the best way to fix this predicament was to brew our own beer.

BrewDog was born in Martin's mom's garage in 2007. We started off brewing tiny batches of craft beer, filling the bottles by hand and selling the beers at local markets across Scotland and out of the back of a beat up van. In 2008, the business started to take off – people liked our brews and we persuaded the banks to give us money to buy tanks and a proper bottling machine.

What do you see as your biggest opportunity moving forward?

There are tons of new opportunities on the horizon for BrewDog. We're thrilled about continuing our global expansion in the US and the UK, which includes launching projects like our crowdfunded DogHouse craft beer hotel in Ohio and our new spirits distillery LoneWolf. We're also working on plans to build new breweries in Australia and Asia.

What's the biggest item on your to-do list right now?

Ten years later, we've left the garage for our own brewery in Ellon, Scotland, and are about to open our first U.S. brewery in Columbus, Ohio. We currently export to 60 countries and have 50 global bars.

Our biggest mission when we set up BrewDog was to make other people as passionate about great craft beer as we are. That is still our mission today, and it's at the heart of everything we do.

The first item on our to-do list is opening our new Stateside brewery in Columbus, Ohio. Once it's open and running, we're going to get our new sour brewing facility and the DogHouse hotel off the ground.

Our dream with the DogHouse is for craft beer fans to enjoy a vacation with a difference – to be fully immersed in a world of beer and come away loving craft beer more than ever. During their stay, DogHouse guests will enjoy a range of amenities from a hot tub filled with our Punk IPA to beer spa treatments and the finest beer cuisine. We're going to make it the "hoppiest" place on Earth.

What is today's craft beer consumer looking for?

Describe a typical day?

Like us, today's craft beer drinker is looking for an alternative to bland "corporate beers." That's where we come in. We are completely dedicated to brewing the best craft beers we possibly can and elevating the status of beer.

At BrewDog, there's no such thing as a typical day. With that said, everything we do from day to day is designed to bring us closer to our mission of making other people as passionate about craft beer as we are.

Define your consumer. What are they looking for?

BrewDog fans don't fit into a particular category or definition. They're

110

people like us, who just love craft beer and are looking for something exciting made with soul and a purpose.

CRAFT BRAND AND MARKETING

MAY/JUNE 2017

CBAM-MAG.COM

Tell us what makes the BrewDog brand so unique?

We've embraced our punk mentality and we aren't afraid to push the envelope with our marketing or our beer. Our community is incredibly important to us and we're always looking for ways to keep them involved with the brand and the way we do things.

That's why we've launched programs like "Equity for Punks," which lets people in the UK and the U.S. invest and own part of BrewDog. "Equity Punks" also earn amazing, money-can't-buy rewards like lifetime discounts, free brewery tours, a say in how we run the company, tickets to our annual general mayhem (a business, beer and music festival exclusively for our shareholders), and more.

We’re also not afraid of a challenge. In the past we've brewed up some standout beers like the "End of History," which tapped out at 55 percent ABV and was the world's strongest and most expensive beer. It even came packaged in taxidermied stoats and squirrels, making a bold statement about beer as art and science.

Taking on societal norms surrounding beer helped us pave the way for a changing landscape for both beer and beer’s consumption in the UK, and we’re excited about where the scene has landed today and where it will go next – in the UK and beyond.

What should people expect from BrewDog moving forward?

Expect the unexpected. We're always going to be out there making waves, unsettling institutions and testing the limits of what's possible in craft beer.

Expect the unexpected.

We’re always going to be out there making waves, unsettling institutions and testing the limits of what’s possible in craft beer.

What's the most rewarding part of your job?

The most rewarding part of our job is redefining people's perceptions of what beer really is, putting craft beer on the map, and showing people how rewarding and amazing beer can be.

What was the best advice you ever received?

When Martin and I were still in the garage, we had a chance encounter with the late, great beer writer, Michael Jackson. He tried our beer and told us, "Boys, quit your jobs and start brewing." The rest, as they say, is history.

Error of Creation Is it the new product or new experience?

By Eric Balinski

Throughout history, people have always invented new products.

The U.S. is known for its ingenuity and inventiveness. The files of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office are filled with success stories, and even many times more stories of failed attempts.

No matter the outcome, the thirst for new is innate in many people.

Last month, the Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) brewery in Milwaukee came back to life. While the brand name has been around since 1889, when a private investor took control of the company in 1996, it closed the founding operation in Milwaukee and relocated the brand to L.A. In September 2014, PBR was sold to a private equity investor group that made the decision to reestablish a Milwaukee operation by opening a small brewery, restaurant and a bar in a church that Pabst once owned. Pabst also opened an innovation center to address the future of Pabst and beer.

This story hit me in a couple of ways. First, I went to Marquette University back in the heyday of PBR and the beer industry in Milwaukee. Not only was PBR in full swing, so were Miller, Schlitz and Blatz brewing companies also going strong with headquarters based in Milwaukee. I was there when the drinking age was 18 years old, too.

Back then, it was not unusual to have one or all of the local brewers drive a beer truck up onto our campus and let the beer flow freely.

I fondly remember the brewery tours we took; especially at Pabst where at the end-of-tour we enjoyed bottomless glasses of beer in Sternewirt Pub. Those were the days – and when I acquired my thirst for beer.

Second, the story bewildered me when Pabst’s CEO, Eugene Kashper said, “This is really going to be an innovation laboratory for us.” My first thought was, innovation in beer – weird? How many

more styles, types and flavor do people need?

Though a new beer is intriguing, it raises a more important question for any craft brew business.

Is it more critical for a company to focus on product innovation or to create a superior customer experience? Most people would argue both are equally important.

And yes, theoretically that’s true.

But if you had to bet your resources on only one – a better product or a better customer experience – for your company’s long-term success, which would you chose?

Do you want my answer?

Since I'm about to give you my perspective, here 's a bit more on my background. It is not based on having worked in a brewery, or even in the beer industry, though I have tremendous credentials enjoying beer.

My view is based on having worked on both new product creation, as well as creating new customer experiences. As the lead marketer on GE’s Living Environment House in the late ’80s, this research project developed innovative new products for home construction and living.

Along with 53 partner companies, many ideas were developed and showcased, such as the first home automation system, smart toilets and high performance window systems. Many of these ideas now are in consumers' homes.

Later in life, I advised companies in very mature industries, with lots of competition, tight margins and declining prices. Most of these companies dreamed of a new product to free them from the commoditization of their industry.

114

CRAFT BRAND AND MARKETING

Here's what I have learned. Though there are plenty of companies in mature industries who spend big on finding the next unicorn in their industry, I rarely saw them succeed. This is not to say they didn’t invent new things, some of which were pretty cool with seductive features.

Typically, these products enjoyed little commercial success, as well as became financial disasters because they were poorly grounded in making a real difference in the customer’s world. Where there was success to be found in mature industries was in discovering something to make a difference in the customer’s world.

This might mean something such as faster turnaround on product orders to completely reconfiguring the entire customer experience so a customer got more bang out of a product.

As such, I'd always bet first on creating better customer experiences as a growth strategy. The reason is, as any industry matures, including craft brewing, the entire industry tends to become more product focused to the point of ignoring customers and what’s going on in their lives.

In the meantime, customers are going about their lives, often looking for better or more meaningful ways to live it. The opportunity for growth in maturing industries comes from working to better understand the day in the life of the customers and to figure out how they could enjoy what the company makes in new and interesting ways.

A new customer experience is far more likely to be achieved because the constant societal change is always presenting new situations to create new experiences.

Woo me away...

Here's an example of what I mean. In our home, we cook and entertain frequently. This puts us in the grocery store multiple times every week to buy fresh. We have a nice store nearby, with the typical store elements: produce section, deli counter, fish and meat counter, pharmacy, bakery, etc.

Recently, we were in the Wilmington, N.C., area contemplating our escape from New Jersey’s taxes. Our realtor mentioned the local grocery store, Lowes Foods, had a craft beer and wine bar inside the store. I don’t think he was ready for my reaction, as I grilled him mercilessly with questions about Lowes.

Sure enough Lowes’ Beer Den existed. I was able to try four brews for free, then buy a pint to go about shopping with my cart’s cup holders to assist – what a concept. Honestly, I don't remember what beer I drank that day, but I knew Lowes had delivered to me an awesome customer experience, in probably my future grocery store.

Betting the company’s future on the next big thing is a powerful urge, often yielding little success. Don’t get me wrong, a company that has been as successful as PBR has been in the past 21 years, would be on the top of my list as a candidate to invent such a new beer.

Lowes Foods – Multiple craft beers on tap to enjoy while shopping. Note cup holder in front of cart.

And I will surely try it when and if it comes out. Craft brewers with weaker balance sheets could also be the one to come up with that new brew. Or all of these folks could get blind-sided by a home brewer. But in a maturing or mature industry, it's ridiculously hard to beat the odds of failure with new products, with greater down side then up.

For my money, I would not make this error of product creation as a pathway to the future, but rather invent the next great customer experience, such as what Lowes is doing.

A new customer experience is far more likely to be achieved because the constant societal change is always presenting new

situations to create new experiences. The added benefit of focusing on customer experience is it would also increase the novel insights needed to invent a great new product.

For my tastes, enjoying beer is all about the experience with friends, food, and fun.

Metal Tackers How to get creative with your brand Take a look around – tackers for beer advertising are everywhere. Painted metal signs have been used for the purpose since the 1890s. They’ve been around so long that they are considered collectable by beer enthusiasts, antique memorabilia collectors, and even Americana museums.

Lone Star tacker – Tackers are easily rendered with cutaway sections. They also can be sized as large as 40x60 inches.

New Glarus bottle cap tacker – Three-dimensional metal forming techniques with print overlay.

Laser-cutting equipment has diversified metal fab tech.

It’s easy to take for granted the brand potential of metal tackers. Sure, most of us know that tackers are the entry-level building-block item of a POS sign and display portfolio.

And rightly so. They are inexpensive, widely-available, durable and utilitarian.

Pabst “vintage” tacker – New production, old style.

Sierra Nevada tacker – Highresolution, multi-color print. Excellent example of contemporary design and printing technique.

Substrate selections are more abundant than ever.

Including composites of metal and plastics combined.

Here are a few selections which we hope will inspire you for adding pizzazz to your own POS sign portfolio. We challenge you to get as creative with your tackers as you do with your beer creations and their labels.

Rahr & Sons tacker – Use of corrugated sheet for dimensional interest. Old-school look, new tech.

El Jimador tacker – Substrate options offer a range of surface specularity. Inks are also available in a range of gloss levels. Including metallic inks.

Standing tall Signature structures add diversity to iconic downtown Chicago skyline

By Jeff Alexander

I

n a city as dense as Chicago, new building projects often have very limited space to make their mark. From its iconic skyline that

features the colossal Willis Tower, formerly Sears, to the vast swath of buildings throughout downtown and along the Riverwalk, the Windy City presents a difficult, yet exciting playground in which architects and developers can create.

But for new hotels, Chicago offers an even stiffer challenge, featuring countless historic accommodations and lodgings that have graced the city for over a century.

The new Hilton Garden Inn in the North Loop of downtown Chicago faced these obstacles, and had many additional buildings to compete with, including its landmark neighbors, the Chicago Motor Club and the Seventeenth Church of Christ Scientist.

With the desire to standout, GREC Architects were called upon to help make a statement and put the signature stamp of Hilton on Chicago.

Architects David Ervin and Ryan von Drehle knew they would have a very compact build site in which to erect such a prominent structure. The 26-story hotel spanning 96,000 square-feet needed a way to not only differentiate itself among the sea of other hotels and buildings lining the riverfront and downtown area, but also fit into the mix aesthetically.

MAY : JUNE 2017 — COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION

STANDING TALL The solution was to incorporate modern design elements into the building that complemented the hotel’s surroundings, including the unmistakable Chicago River. “We thought about murals and maps, ideas that were more representative, but ultimately the building’s location, as a part of the Chicago River system, became our inspiration," Ervin says.

The result is a remarkable piece of artwork that utilizes five shades of complementary grey. The custom 10,000 squarefoot exterior metal mosaic façade faces the river, and was created to be an abstract representation of sunlight reflecting on the surface of water.

With the desire to standout, GREC Architects were called upon to help make a statement and put the signature stamp of Hilton on Chicago.

GREC Architects used images of pixelated glints of sunshine, colorful mosaic tiles, and modern art throughout the inspiration and design process to construct the perfect representation.

General contractor Walsh Construction teamed up with G&L Associates, which supplied Formawall Dimension Series CENTRIA metal panels for the exterior. Selected for both their sleek aesthetic appearance and strong performance features, Formawall Dimension Series panels provided the perfect exterior product to make up the Hilton’s façade.

STANDING TALL embossed exterior, the panels provide an alluring complement to the structure’s overall design scheme.

Coated in five custom grey shades of Valspar’s Fluropon® coatings, Midnight Blue, Stonewall, Sabre Gray, Sleigh Bells and Horizon, the panels provided the team with the necessary medium to achieve their desired aesthetic. The grey hues were chosen because they mixed the designers’ modern inspirations with a classic color palette that will never go out of style.

The architects knew they needed the variety of panels to work together and find a coating that would retain the many different individual colors and preserve the integrity of the mosaic for years to come. Fluropon was chosen both for its superior

Additionally, this cohesive wall acts as a frame for the existing church and enables a unified experience to be had by those walking the block, as the building fits in seamlessly among the other structures.

This contemporary, multi-colored façade juxtaposes the base of the building, which is made of limestone and aims to reference the historic Chicago Motor Club, another of the hotel’s immediate neighbors. This statement structure was recently converted into a hotel itself, yet remains an art deco gem in the city.

GREC Architects again took this into consideration and matched materials to ensure a smooth transition from building to building.

Another seamless transition can be seen on the building itself, as the eye-catching mosaic blends seamlessly with the three other sides of the building. These sides were also composed of Formawall Dimension Series CENTRIA metal panels and coated in Valspar’s Midnight Blue shade of Fluropon, adding flow to the facade.

As mentioned earlier, even though the mosaic was designed to stand out, it needed to match aesthetically with the other components of the building and appear as a cohesive part of the structure. The use of the Midnight Blue hue across the entire building allows for unity among the different aspects of the building.

Although great emphasis was placed on its exterior, the interior of the Hilton Garden Inn completes the modern and ambitious design. color retention and resistance to chalking when exposed to the different weather elements.

These features will help keep the color mosaic of the hotel’s western façade vibrant and protected through the harsh winters and humid summers that frequent the Midwest.

The western exterior serves more than just an aesthetic purpose – because of the narrow build site and existing fire codes, no windows could be placed on the western side of the wall. Additionally, the owner of the property, Magna Hospitality Group, elected not to purchase the air rights above one of the hotel’s neighbors, the Seventeenth Church of Christ Scientist.

Consequently, if a new building were to be constructed in its place, the western windows of the hotel would be blocked by new construction. To overcome these issues, the metal panels were constructed as a focal point of the design and most certainly make up for the missing windows with their dynamic appearance.

Inside out beauty

Although great emphasis was placed on its exterior, the interior of the Hilton Garden Inn completes the modern and ambitious design, offering 191 total guestrooms, a business center, bar area, lounges, and more.

All meticulously designed by architects to provide a luxurious and comfortable stay for business professionals and families alike, the design was not without its own set of challenges.

Without any windows to work with on the hotel’s western front, GREC architects needed to be inventive with the interior room design, in order for each bedroom and suites to feature a flood of natural light. With a fair bit of ingenuity, the western rooms were designed to access light from the north and south sides of the building, in order for the magnificent metal exterior to fully function in tandem with the interior.

The new Hilton Garden Inn officially opened its doors on Oct. 1, 2015, adding to the roster of more than 625 Hilton hotels worldwide. With the help of a range of colors, coatings and inventive design, Chicago’s Hilton Garden Inn accomplished its goals of becoming a memorable building in the Chicago skyline. It leaves an impression along the riverside and provides a welcoming space for the thousands of guests that will pass through its doors every month. CCR

Seeing Y the light How window film can benefit and modernize your building’s exterior

By Michael Mancini

ou can’t see it in most cases, but it’s there, working 24 hours a day helping people in your community live better lives in many ways. We’re talking about window film, which helps provide comfort to building inhabitants by reducing heat and glare, as well as blocking the sun’s harmful UV rays.

It also saves money by controlling a building’s energy consumption – keeping heat out in summer months and retaining heat in the winter. Window film offers an added layer of safety by holding together broken glass during a natural disaster or intrusion.

It also gives any commercial facility a modern, updated look.

Most films are applied to the interior surface of a glass window in a home, school, commercial building or car. There are many different types of window films, each providing unique benefits in safety, comfort and aesthetics.

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2017

SEEING THE LIGHT Take the Ellis Building in Sarasota, Fla., which recently looked to window film to bring their facility into the modern age.

The Ellis Building is a 12-story high-rise located in on the West Coast of sunny Florida. The commercial building was considered “ultra-modern” when it was first built back in 1968. But much has changed since then – hairstyles, clothes and, of course, building design.

And thanks to a recent boom of modern high-rise construction in the area, the Ellis Building stuck out like a sore thumb.

The building’s decision makers knew the Sarasota landmark needed a facelift, the main question was – how and what solution?

How do they modernize the building in a cost-effective way while staying true to its architectural integrity?

the design firm hired for renovation. The building owners were just as impressed, and the first major commercial construction project in downtown Sarasota since the 1920s officially had been modernized.

The benefits of window film

For the Ellis Building, the application of window film created a modern, uniform look on all of the windows. And there are many other benefits that window film can add to your project's bottom line:

Aesthetics

Window film is a flexible, adaptable product that can help maintain the unique aesthetic appeal of any commercial building. It doesn’t stand out, but rather effortlessly blends in and enhances the style of the exterior.

Many manufacturers also offer decorative films that add a little extra style to interior glass. You often can achieve the look of etched glass at a fraction of the cost with decorative film

Today’s safety films are marketed and thoroughly tested for improving glass performance for safety glazing, intrusion, extreme weather conditions and blast mitigation.

UV protection

Window film blocks up to 99 percent of UV rays, and reflects up to 80 percent of the sun’s energy. This was a very important benefit for the Ellis Building property managers, as they wanted to provide comfort to employees working in the building and relief from the hot Florida sun. Blocking UV rays helps reduce glare on computer screens, and protects and prolongs the life of furniture, carpets, artwork, draperies and woodwork.

Ellis building before They also had to account for the hot Florida sun when renovating. The initial plans included washing the façade to restore the luster of the marble columns, painting faded and chalky metal window frames, and replacing all windows – all 38,000 square feet of glass.

But with that much glass, re-glazing was not a cost-effective option. The team investigated alternative solutions and decided on a scratch-resistant window film from Madico. The decision best met the unique needs of the project and presented numerous benefits.

"I think (Madico) has taken 30 years off the age of this building,” says Bryan Lawson, director of construction for Benderson Development,

132

Energy savings

Per the International Window Film Association (IWFA), the return on investment is higher for commercial building owners when renovating with window film verses any other method. Up to 30 percent of any building’s cooling and heating load is lost through windows.

Installing window film will reduce the stress on a facility’s HVAC system as it’s designed to keep heat out, even during the hottest of summer days.

Window films help reduce electricity consumption by over 200,000 kilowatt hours each year, saving thousands of dollars in cooling costs. Over time, window film goes a long way in conserving energy for facilities of all sizes. Many states, including Florida, also offer energy rebates for professionally installed window film.

SEEING THE LIGHT Safety and security

Safety and security is an important benefit for commercial buildings with ground floor windows. Glass is an inviting target for vandals intent on mischief or worse. With professionally installed safety and security film, should an intruder attempt to enter through the window, they’ll be delayed.

The safety film holds the glass together and prevents it from shattering, delaying the intruder’s entrance, and allowing local authorities to get to the scene in a timely manner. In the event of a natural disaster, window film also limits the amount of dangerous glass shards flying around the area.

Per the International Window Film Association (IWFA), the return on investment is higher for commercial building owners when renovating with window film verses any other method.

As with any safety measure, there are limitations to what the product can do. Today’s safety films are marketed and thoroughly tested for improving glass performance for safety glazing, intrusion, extreme weather conditions and blast mitigation.

But while films can reduce glass hazards upon initial impact and slow the intrusion process, with repeated impacts they will eventually allow access, as do many anti-intrusion products.

Next steps

Window film is a cost-effective product that can give a commercial building a fresh new look. A professional film installer can assist you in selecting the best film product for your unique building and needs, with a professional installation helping make a lasting impact, benefitting the project for years to come.

The High Life How the Twin Peaks brand is making restaurants fun again

By Michael J. Pallerino

A

scratch kitchen. The ultimate bar experience. Oneof-a-kind happy hours. Late-night fun. Oh, and the food. When you enter a Twin Peaks restaurant,

you're getting everything you want – and much more.

Billed as the "ultimate sports lodge," the Twin Peak brand was founded in 2005 in the Dallas suburb of Lewisville. Today, with more than 80 locations in 25 states, the brand continues to amass a serious crowd of followers.

With its bevy of HDTVs and “name-your-sport-and-we'll-get-it-on mentality,” 29-degree draft beer, made-to-order menu and the vaunted Twin Peaks Girls, it's a value proposition you cannot afford to miss out on.

After being acquired by La Cima Restaurants LLC, the chain’s largest franchisee, in October 2016, the brand continues to reach down for that something extra in the expansion game.

To get a feel for where the brand is heading, Commercial Construction & Renovation sat down with Paul Stevens, director of Design and Construction.

Give us a snapshot of the Twin Peaks brand?

expect made-from-scratch food, watch sports on the best HDTVs and sound system in the industry and enjoy 29 degree draft beer. You'll also be surrounded by the playful and energetic Twin Peaks Girls, which are there to make your experience special.

Picture all of this with a mountain lodge environment as your backdrop. We use heavy wood timbers, antlers, hand carved tables, comfortable seats, fire pits and man caves to complete the experience.

What type of consumer are you targeting?

The ultimate guy’s guy – the sports fan who wants to catch the game, drink freezing cold beer, grab a bite from a great menu and soak up the whole Twin Peaks experience with a group of friends.

As we grow across the country, developing good groups of regional GCs will be really important for our franchisees.

How does the design of your restaurants cater to what today's consumers are looking for?

Our front of house is designed with sports viewing in mind. Seating is mindfully put together so that every guest in the restaurant has multiple views. They never miss a play. The booths are wider, the aisles are larger, and the tables are oversized and communal. This is intentional. It makes groups of people comfortable when they come in for any big game with their friends. Many of our restaurants incorporate patios and outdoor fire pits to take advantage of taking the fun outdoors when weather permits. Who doesn’t love a great patio?

Walk us through how and why it is designed the way it is?

Because our business is bar-centric from an energy standpoint, we start with the bar and cascade the TVs out and over from that point in the space. Getting the right size and placement of the bar in the restaurant to maximize energy and views is the critical backbone to our brand.

From there, we try to provide multiple seating options via size, height and type. We maximize internal height when we can and insert as many oversized wooden features as we can fit into the building. We want authentic finishes that reflect what every person would want and expect to see in a lodge – stone, rough cut wood and thick live edge table tops.

138

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2017

Take us through your construction and design strategy.

Many of our restaurants are conversions of previous restaurants. A lot of times in these circumstances, we can get the most bang for our buck with a conversion of an existing restaurant that has good bones to it. When we can be certain we can fit our kitchen and oversized bar into the building and make it not be recognizable as to what it used to be and really make it our own, we go that route. We have also developed ground up restaurants in many markets.

The route we take really is dictated by opportunity and economics.

What's the biggest issue today related to the construction side of the business?

It’s somewhat different between corporate development and franchisees developing their restaurants. Corporately, we have multiple GCs who we bid to that we know can perform. We rarely go outside of who we know.

Sometimes, in busy construction markets like we see so much of these days, we find that smaller contractors are chasing the bigger projects. Lower bids can be enticing to try an unknown entity, but it rarely works out without a delay or some unforeseen cost impacts. We will venture out of our comfort zone a little less than our franchisees will for cost savings, but only if we have the manpower to manage in a detailed way.

Talk about sustainability.

What are you doing?

Mountain lodges scream “green” in a different kind of way, because we frequently are trying to bring nature inside the building

with the oversized openings to our patios.

We focus on energy efficient systems and LED lighting. By the way, beer poured at near freezing has an incredible yield, so it’s safe to say we have a very low amount of beer waste.

What do you see as some of your biggest opportunities moving ahead?

As we grow across the country, developing good groups of regional GCs will be really important for our franchisees. We will always continue to work on our kitchens and buildings in order to maximize their efficiency and effectiveness.

We are starting to roll out a new kitchen engine that promises to reduce our ticket times and heart of house labor, while maintaining or bettering our service and food standards when the food hits our consumers plate. The chance to constantly learn, grow and evolve is one of the biggest opportunities we have as a brand.

COMMERCIAL KITCHENS What's the biggest item on your to-do list right now?

Are you optimistic about what you see today in the marketplace?

Our systems haven’t previously been set up for large scale development. We are in a position now where we have large portions of the country still to develop. Many are great markets with unlimited potential. This requires us to continue to build our staff, our vendors and our consultants up to be able to give ourselves and our franchise partners the ability to build these markets out as efficiently as possible.

There are a lot of really good restauranteurs in play these days. The specialty guys are eating everyone up, because although they only do a few things, they focus on doing them very well.

The brands that don’t understand this reality and keep their eye on quality and a superb experience are going to wither and die.

Describe a typical day.

What is the secret to creating a "must visit" shopping environment in today's competitive landscape?

Our goal is to always create both an environment and an experience that makes people want to share it with their friends and coworkers. Our Twin Peaks Girls are the best brand ambassadors in the business.

What is today's consumer looking for?

Today’s consumer focuses on the quality of food and service more so than ever before. Almost everything else is simply window dressing.

We attempt to insert as much fun into the equation as we can.

First off is 100 emails, followed up with meetings with operations, facilities, franchisees, vendors, moving on to site visits, diving into plan analysis, budgeting the next thing, developing the coordination of a roll out, ending with conference calls, and repeat.

Tell us what makes your restaurants so unique?

Twin Peaks is fun. It’s fun to be at, fun to design, fun to develop and fun to work for as an employee. If you can’t have fun creating mountain lodges filled with HDTVs from every angle and beautiful Twin Peaks Girls who serve the coldest beer and really great food, you honestly aren’t trying hard enough.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job?

Making something that is really complicated simpler for someone is what drives my team. If a member of my group can help a franchisee be more successful by developing easier or quicker, that is my reward. If we can build more restaurants because we chose a better site or spent less because of coordination, I am happy. Opening night, when all the hard work that the development and operations team has put in comes together and a restaurant is filled with happy people enjoying themselves is pretty special as well.

What was the best advice you ever received?

I had a boss tell me years ago that I should overlook small things to find people who are authentic and have character. I have always tried to surround myself with people, vendors and consultants with value systems that align with mine. At the end of the day, you are only as good and as trustworthy as they are.

How do you like to spend your down time?

I like to get my hands dirty in my garden or wet a line fishing.

Anything that involves quiet and attention to one thing suits me best in my off time. The constant battery of multiple inputs that is required to be successful in development, design and construction need to be offset after hours or I would lose my sanity.

And as if that’s not enough, many municipalities have food service codes that mandate a minimum water temperature be used for specific cleaning processes.

It all adds up to a colossal domestic hot water load. Red Robin restaurants, known nationwide for its gourmet burgers, can use upward of 20 gallons of hot water per minute when running at capacity.

Most restaurants are similar; Red Robin locations aren’t unique in the amount of hot water it uses.

But the successful chain is unique in the way it has handled its hot water production recently, to the point that it now builds its restaurants around its water heating equipment. Literally.

The system on which Red Robin locations nationwide now have standardized serve the facilities almost flawlessly, but that wasn’t always the case. There was a lot of learning involved, a little trial-and-error, and no shortage of retrofit work before they reached a solution that stuck.

Underestimating demand

In 2013, Brian Fenske, specialty channel sales manager at Navien, received a call from Red Robin’s director of facilities, who was painfully aware of the hot water problems the restaurants throughout Oregon and Washington were battling.

The year before, he had helped to size a tankless application in Edmonton, Calif., where several Navien tankless units were then used to replace a gas-fired storage-type system.

In 2014, Navien’s Northwest regional sales manager, Barry LaDuke, and local Red Robin managers hosted Fenske’s visit to several restaurants throughout the Pacific Northwest. After touring five Red Robin locations in the region, Fenske found that four of the five restaurants were facing problems caused by an undersized hot water system.

Each one used the same gas-fired, tankless water heaters.

COMMERCIAL KITCHENS units when, in reality, they needed four or five to meet the demand,” Fenske says. “The fifth site had four water heaters, which might have been sufficient if not for some other installation errors.”

In nearly every situation, Fenske found that the big dishwashers weren’t equipped with a pressure reducing valve. This not only created pressure drop issues throughout the kitchen, but led to excessive hot water use as well.

Fenske explained why the restaurants were experiencing so many problems, and the words resonated. In 2015, several upper-level Red Robin managers visited Navien, in Irvine, Calif., to learn how the use of new NPE tankless water heaters could solve the problems.

Few businesses use as much hot water per square-foot as a restaurant during peak dining times.

“After seeing the high-efficiency NPE-240A units in person, and learning about how proper design and installation plays a huge role in system performance, Red Robin made a decision to work with us going forward,” Fenske says. “It planned to convert any problematic installations to Navien units, while standardizing on the NPE-240A for construction of all new restaurants going forward.”

Chipman Design, Red Robin’s architect based in Chicago, modified the building design for new restaurants in order to facilitate good access to the robust hot water system.

A shallow mechanical room is included at the back of the buildings with outdoor access.

This not only consolidates all plumbing components (water heaters, softeners, etc.), but provides easy access for service personnel without the need to walk through the kitchen.

Growing with a brand

One of the newest Red Robins is in Lakewood, Colo. It’s so new, in fact, that if you look at W. Colfax Avenue on Google Earth, you’ll only find an empty grass lot where the building now stands.

Long before general contractor Catamount Constructors Inc. had broken ground, the building’s blueprint included Fenske’s Navien hot water system design.

“All new Red Robins are using either five or six Navien NPE-240A units, piped and plumbed in parallel,” Fenske says. “Based on its anticipated patronage, lower gas BTU contents due to Colorado’s high

All six units at the Lakewood restaurant act as a single system, firing up only as high as needed to perfectly meet current hot water demand. Because the modulating units each provide nearly 200,000 BTUH, the system is able to provide anywhere between 20,000 to 1.2 million BTUH, or roughly .1 to 30 GPM, depending on incoming water temperature and fixture loads.

Installation and service made easy

At 5,500 feet above sea level, Lakewood’s elevation could’ve been cause for concern. Fortunately, setting the Navien units up for Denver’s thinner air is quick and simple.

Some gas-fired, condensing appliances require several extra steps during installation, like changing or modifying orifice plates.

With the NPE-240A, DIP switches are used to change the air/fuel mixtures and speed of the fan.

Another installer-friendly feature of the NPE-240A comes courtesy of Navien’s low input gas pressure requirements. Compared to many units of the same capacity smaller gas piping can be used, saving time, space and money.

But the inherent advantages of the NPE-240A aren’t the only thing making life easier for the technicians who install and service the hot water systems at Red Robin locations. The restaurant chain is proactive and refuses to cut corners. In restaurants where four units are needed to provide the entire hot water load, five are installed. Where five are needed, a sixth is added. Using an extra water heater not only ensures that pressure drop will never be an issue, but also provides redundancy.

How an inviting design welcomed new customers to Vegas bike shop

By Tiffany Hayden

W

hen longtime bicycle shop owners Mike and Cheri Tillman started to outgrow their retail

space, they knew they wanted to try something unique to stand out from the competition. With at least three bike stores within a five-mile radius, an excellent shopping experience was going to be key in building their business.

The Tillmans moved from their original space in 2016, setting up shop in the Village Square in Las Vegas, located on the corner of W. Sahara and Ft. Apache. The move brought Pro Cyclery closer to many of its customers and gave it more space to serve its die-hard customers.

Since 1984, the retailer has been rising to the needs of cyclists in the greater Las Vegas area and surrounding communities. So good at what they do, the Tillmans and their retail team have even gained an international following. That's because the owners, sales staff and mechanics are cycling enthusiasts – some of whom have even competed professionally.

MAY : JUNE 2017 — COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION

RIDING STRONG The family-owned shop is dedicated to excellence in customer service – from the point of sale, to maintenance and repair.

Ask any of its customers, and they will liken Pro Cyclery to the iconic bar on the old sitcom “Cheers” – when you come in, everybody knows your name.

So, when the bike shop decided to make the move, it aimed for a comfortable space, where its loyal customers could spend time together while waiting for repairs and enjoying coffee from the café next door.

While hiring a designer to create the ultimate retail space is no new trend, it has been somewhat of an untapped market for bike shops, whose typical layout includes a perimeter of tightly packed bikes with a few retail items near the check out counter.

An open layout meant for socializing would create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, encouraging customers to stay a while and plan their next adventure.

The Tillmans enlisted the help of Las Vegas-based, mother-daughter design team, Room Resolutions, to tackle the project. Jane Cunningham, president and CEO, and Amanda Cunningham, design manager, came on board in January 2016 for a whirlwind transformation.

An open layout meant for socializing would create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, encouraging customers to stay a while and plan their next adventure.

So taken by the Tillman's commitment to excellence, they completed the job in less than three months. “This was the first bike shop we had worked on, but we’ve since had several similar retail inquiries,” Jane says.

Room Resolutions handles the highend design of Las Vegas’ top residential and commercial spaces. “It’s a growing part of the design industry for sure, with more stores looking to create an experience for everyone – from pro to casual riders,” says Jane, who was brought onto the project last year when Pro Cyclery obtained its new Village Square storefront.

Not only does an open, inviting layout make existing customers happy, newcomers were more likely to enter the shop as well.

Customers who have been shopping with the company for years comment that the new look makes Procyclery feel more like “their” store and a place they want to spend more time.

new products from brands Scott and Yeti.

New styles of bicycles and accessories also now can be found in the store.

Professional design services at Procyclery were well worth it – the store has seen sales soar since Room Resolutions’ finished the project less than a year ago. Customers who have been shopping with the company for years comment that the new look makes Procyclery feel more like “their” store and a place they want to spend more time.

“It was a challenge to complete the project on such a tight timeline, allowing only one day for installation," Amanda Cunningham says. "We were able to give the store a brand new look in time for the store’s grand opening.”

With results like this, other bike retailers are taking note and bringing on design teams of their own to bolster sales and gain new customers. CCR Tiffany Hayden is a design writer and public relations supervisor based in Los Angeles. For more information of Room Resolutions, visit www.roomresolutions.com.

“Women are the fastest-growing segment in cycling, and we wanted a store that was welcoming and attractive for women shoppers while still being an authentic bike shop,” Cheri Tillman says.

“We knew we needed to better merchandise our clothing and accessories, and make the store more inviting to foot traffic in the busy shopping center.”

A part of the retail family

Village Square has other establishments for the active community, with yoga studios, a smoothie shop and Orange Theory Fitness.

The design is simple, allowing the merchandise to speak for itself through improved display methods. Stained concrete floors, brick accent walls, reclaimed wooden shelves and homey accents set a casual tone upon entering the store.

A wall of windows lets in more natural light and allows pedestrians a view of what’s inside. New stainless steel display walls house the store’s helmet and shoe lines.

The open concept repair shop encourages conversation between the employees and the customers they’ve come to know on a first name basis.

The larger 4,200 square foot space allowed Procyclery to expand its offering, with

Wind strong Tornado season underscores importance of reinforced masonry wall systems

By Dawn Henning

A

lthough peak tornado season typically occurs April through June, violent outbursts struck early this year and featured one of the largest tornado events to

ever occur in winter. The Jan. 21-23 spate of storms produced 79 confirmed tornadoes across the Deep South, from Texas to South Carolina, resulting in the second-deadliest January outbreak on record.

156

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2017

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. averages more than 1,000 tornadoes per year, more than any other country. Annual insurance losses from U.S. tornadoes and thunderstorms range in the billions, with the costliest event occurring in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and nearby areas in April 2011, resulting in $7.8 billion in insured damages.

While events of this magnitude account for only a small percentage of the total number of tornadoes that occur in the

The Jan. 21-23 spate of storms produced 79 confirmed tornadoes across the Deep South, from Texas to South Carolina, resulting in the second-deadliest January outbreak on record.

United States, the Tuscaloosa event, along with the tornado that struck Joplin, Mo., a month later, initiated an ongoing review of building standards and closer scrutiny of materials used in new construction.

It was determined that while older homes are susceptible to tornado damage, improved building standards can help save many new structures from destruction, and thereby save lives, during future tornado activity.

In addition, since 2011, further studies of a tornado’s path has indicated that greater damage occurs at the center of a tornado, with far less severe damage being inflicted on structures located near the edge. Even in the event of a rare EF-5 tornado, the greatest damage is limited to a narrow path, and most structures don’t experience a tornado’s highest wind speeds.

All of this is good news since the majority of U.S. tornadoes are EF-2-level storms or lower.

Improved building practices for tornado-resilient structures include correct construction for load transfer, along with proper

connections between the roof, walls and foundation to create a continuous load path and decrease wind force vulnerability.

In addition, strengthening openings such as windows and doors, including garage doors, reduces the potential for pressurization, which can occur inside a building when these openings are compromised by wind damage, resulting in significant damage to – and even total destruction of – a building.

Reinforced masonry that is adequately connected to other building components can withstand high wind loads – and also offers greater protection against wind-blown debris, which can penetrate a building’s cladding and leave the structure at greater risk for internal pressurization.

Protecting the house

According to the Brick Industry Association, testing performed at the Wind Science and Research Center at Texas Tech University concluded that brick structures offer a much higher degree of protection from wind-blown debris than buildings constructed with other forms of cladding.

WIND STRONG

Products from manufacturers such as General Shale are designed to withstand stronger winds even better than standard masonry materials. For example, General Shale's Endurance RS4™ Structural Brick offers an advantage when compared to traditional brick products. The material is designed to bear higher loads, meet seismic requirements, and offer greater resistance, which is reassuring for builders and homeowners in areas susceptible to high winds and tornadic events.

Structural brick eliminates the need for load-bearing wood or steel framing and has excellent thermal mass properties. Suitable for any type of foundation, it is designed for homes in areas prone to high winds, tornadoes and earthquakes, or for important commercial or government buildings, such as hospitals, schools, courthouses and police stations.

Larger engineering and utility-size bricks have been used for reinforced masonry applications for many years. Since it is larger than traditional brick, it can be installed with minimal labor and overall cost

adjustments, which are key benefits for builders, architects and contractors, who need easy-to-install, efficient and cost-effective building solutions.

Endurance wall systems also can be used in conjunction with any type of interior wall construction (e.g., furring strips, non-load-bearing metal studs, hat channel, etc.) and insulation systems. The use of continuous rigid insulation, which reduces thermal bridging, is one of the most efficient methods of construction, both in terms of costs and energy savings.

The combination of structural brick and continuous insulation helps to dramatically increase a building’s energy efficiency, which can lower a structure’s Home Energy Rating System score. It offers appropriate reinforcement between the wall system and roof, and creates a safer, stronger and more durable structure, all of which provides greater peace of mind for business owners who work in areas at higher risk for significant weather events. CCR

Since 2011, further studies of a tornado’s path has indicated that greater damage occurs at the center of a tornado, with far less severe damage being inflicted on structures located near the edge.

Industry expert Dawn Henning has served as General Shale’s Director of Marketing since 2011. Headquartered in Johnson City, Tenn., General Shale is the North American subsidiary of Wienerberger AG and a leading manufacturer of brick. For more information, visit www.generalshale.com.

T

he Virginia Department of Military Affairs (DMA) has a

critical role in safeguarding the Commonwealth of Virginia. Its mission is to save lives, protect people and property, ensure safety and relieve suffering.

A crucial aspect of its success is maintaining operational readiness, which means keeping armories and training centers open at all times and prepared to operate as shelters and emergency operation centers during unforeseen circumstances such as natural disasters, severe weather and states of emergency.

But the DMA, like many federal and government agencies, is hampered by aging infrastructure that does not allow for the state of readiness needed for a military organization. One of its key modernization priorities around mission assurance was devising a plan for energy resiliency in order to have a consistent and reliable supply of electricity at all times.

In addition, the DMA also is committed to energy efficiency and minimizing the environmental impact of its facilities and operations.

But achieving these goals has been challenging in the face of constrained federal and state budgets. In Virginia, state and federal funding has not been easily allocated to infrastructure upgrades, creating a significant backlog of deferred maintenance projects. Despite this challenge, becoming energy efficient and resilient has been a priority for the DMA since 2011.

To date, DMA has invested more than $42 million in energy efficiency and renewable energy, with the overall goal of becoming a net zero energy organization by 2030.

To help achieve its goals, it partnered with Schneider Electric to develop a Net Zero Energy Master Plan to ensure energy security, improve energy efficiency and, ultimately, better prepare the DMA to protect the Commonwealth of Virginia. The scope

of work includes installing new technology, analyzing energy spend, procuring renewable energy and upgrading infrastructure.

In addition to helping the DMA advance its net zero objective, the plan also will save more than $52 million in total energy costs over the next 25 years.

Funding through Energy Savings Performance Contracts

One of the ways the DMA is able to fund energy and infrastructure upgrade projects is through the use of energy savings performance contracts (ESPC). With ESPCs, organizations develop comprehensive plans to outline the overall energy savings that can be achieved through infrastructure upgrades.

Organizations then can use these plans to secure third-party financing for projects from an energy service company (ESCO), which is paid back over time through guaranteed energy savings that will cover the cost of a project. These contracts allow organizations to make necessary infrastructure upgrades, while investing little to no upfront capital.

existing energy sources with backup generation for instances of power failure.

Once the Fort Pickett project plan with identified savings totaling $3.1 million was finalized, the Virginia National Guard was able to secure enough state and federal funding to pay for the entire project.

In the first phase of the project, Fort Pickett and Schneider Electric implemented two solar photovoltaic (PV) installations at the Regional Training Institute, covering a 10,000-square-yard solar field and consisting of nearly 2,000 individual solar panels.

In addition, the project involved the installation of a 150 kilowatt carport solar PV array on the north side of Fort Pickett’s main administrative building. Together, the solar arrays generate nearly 650 kilowatts of energy and support Fort Pickett’s mission to create a more resilient energy supply.

In addition to providing supplemental energy, the organization implemented energy efficiency improvements at various buildings to reduce energy demand. Fort Pickett installed a solar vehicle charging station for greater energy efficiency and carport lighting to increase visibility.

In addition, the base now has a dedicated weather station to better prepare for natural weather events that may impact the training center’s operations.

The current grid arrangement at Fort Pickett along with energy efficiency initiatives saves the training center more than $130,000 in annual energy costs. There are environmental benefits to this project as well, aligning with the DMA’s goals to minimize environmental impact. The power generated from this project reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 168 eTons and is the first step toward the DMA’s mission to become net zero by 2030.

To reach that goal, Fort Pickett intends to install six additional PV array systems. But the plans for reduced resource use don’t stop there. Fort Pickett is working toward zero net waste and is planning to install a biomass power generation plant onsite in a future phase of improvements.

When it comes to protecting the residents and Commonwealth of Virginia, the DMA is working to be prepared in any situation. A big part of that mission is establishing a resilient energy supply that allows the DMA to have access to energy under any threat, natural or manmade.

With continued work on sites like Fort Pickett and others throughout Virginia, the DMA will not only become a net zero energy organization, but will also ensure its ability to protect and serve the people. Government entities should look to the Virginia DMA as an example of what it means to secure operations through energy resiliency. FC

To date, DMA has invested more than $42 million in energy efficiency and renewable energy, with the overall goal of becoming a net zero energy organization by 2030.

One of the greatest challenges to obtaining ESPCs for a federal or state agencies is working with the leadership to understand the benefit of this energy efficiency model. The concern with fluctuating federal and state budgets is that an organization will not have the ability to pay a previously established debt.

But with an ESPC, energy savings are guaranteed by the ESCO, and therefore utility expenses that would have been paid simply are redirected to service the debt.

ESPCs give government agencies a great opportunity to reinvest energy savings into projects that deliver both energy efficiency and independence to government organizations. In total, the DMA has achieved over 30 percent energy savings in projects where it has implemented energy maintenance through ESPCs.

Fort Pickett’s Renewable Energy Project

One of the initial projects in the DMA’s Net Zero Energy Master Plan was at the Virginia National Guard’s Fort Pickett Maneuver Training Center in Blackstone, Va. Fort Pickett faced the challenges of aging infrastructure and a need to increase energy security, supplementing

T

he Tempe Town Lake dam, a state-of-the-art steel dam consisting of seven gates, each 106 feet long, 17 feet tall and weighing 260,000 pounds, has spurred its share of emotions on the surrounding community.

The reservoir occupies a portion of the dry riverbed of the Salt River as it passes through the city of Tempe, Ariz., just north of Tempe Butte.

The dams are made up of three main elements, including strong, flexible, rubber coated fabric tube, which is fixed securely to a concrete base slab by clamping bars and anchor bolts, an operating system which controls inflation and deflation of the tube, and an automatic safety device which ensures tube deflation in flood situations.

On the plus side, the lake is stocked with rainbow trout on a monthly basis from November to February. Other species found inhabiting the water include largemouth bass, yellow bass, tilapia, carp, channel catfish and bluegill.

Another benefit to the surrounding community is Tempe Beach Park. Originally built in 1931, it was completely renovated in 1999 as part of the construction of Town Lake. The park connects to the five miles of paths for bicycling, jogging or in-line skating that circle Town Lake.

When residents see the lake and dam, they see a part of themselves.

Everything changed on July 20, 2010.

Around 9:45 p.m., one of the aging black rubber bladders on the west end of the man-made Tempe Town Lake gave way to the Valley’s summer heat, according to a report by consulting firm SEA Ltd. The dam burst drained an estimated 1 billion gallons from the Salt River reservoir, shocking city officials and residents.

When the sun rose the next morning, it cast a gloomy light on the community – a muddy lot that exposed sunken trash and other lost items. There were even fish splashing in the remaining puddles.

The good news was that the major infrastructure failure didn’t cause any injuries.

And so the cleanup and reconstruction began.

Now, think of the oversight necessary to ensure safety, security and efficiency during construction. Accomplishing this feat would take constant vigilance.

This was the challenge PCL Construction, the general contractor on the project, faced as the firm evaluated the massive project of replacing an inflatable rubber dam system at the west end of Tempe Town Lake with the new, hydraulically-operated crest gate dam.

Tempe-based PCL Construction is one of the largest contracting organizations in North America with an annual construction volume of more than $8 billion. But despite the firm’s size, taking on such an immense project meant planning for a variety of potential problems that might slow construction.

Effective project tracking was essential.

Some potential issues to prepare for included: • Weather events – Tempe weather is volatile, especially during monsoon season, and, bad weather was sure to cause delays and interfere with scheduling.

• Equipment loss – Spillover from the existing dam threatened the construction project and jobsite equipment. Losses would be expensive and potentially put the project over-budget.

Ultimately, the firm decided to use TrueLook construction cameras to help them track project progress, and stay on schedule and budget.

The solution at hand

TrueLook cameras were used to track project progress from start to finish. “We used the TrueLook cameras to document when storms began and ended, which enabled us to track weather-related delays to our schedule,” says Adam Gordon, Special Projects Manager, PCL. PCL’s project managers also used the cameras to watch for spillover from the existing dam, so they could pull out equipment on time and prevent capital losses. Footage of weather changes also informed the team of when they’d need to bring in pumps to dewater the work area.

The end results

In addition to alleviating these primary concerns, TrueLook camera provided PCL with a number of other benefits: • Time-lapse photography provided a documented visual history throughout all phases of the project • Security recordings helped protect equipment and materials by deterring violations and after-hours security incidents • Cameras captured progress throughout the project to keep stakeholders current on the construction status and enable the project manager to fine-tune schedules • Enabled continuous vigilance to motivate workers to be productive and follow procedures “TrueLook camera footage can also be used to help PCL satisfy audit requirements from various regulatory agencies, such as the Arizona Department of Water Quality, the Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County,” Gordon says.

Thanks in part to TrueLook cameras facilitating efficient and accurate project tracking, the dam now is the largest hydraulically-operated crest gate dam system in the country.

The steel gate system will provide flood control to make Tempe safer and enable future development. It also will transform a previously dry riverbed into a beautiful, relaxing community gathering place.

TrueLook solutions have been used to enhance project management in a number of construction projects. FC

4 Steps to accessibility

PUBLISHER LETTER

Building the trust factor Dear Reader,

Today it’s easy to call yourself an “expert” on anything if you start a website and produce blog posts. Online self-publishing has great benefits, but it also makes it difficult for readers to filter the credible from the misinformed.

We’ve been approached by many retailers looking to re-do their Accessibility Programs because they trusted a company that was not able to deliver. We hope when hiring an ADA consultant, you consider the following:

Brad Gaskins, AIA, NCARB, CASp

1. Are they qualified? Do the consultants have a construction, architecture/engineering background? Have they been certified by the ICC to perform ADA surveys? Were they trained by ADA experts in the field?

2. Do they outsource any work to consultants? Make sure what you see is what you get.

3. How do they develop their checklist? You’re looking for an extensive, comprehensive checklist that’s based on the “2010 Standards for Accessible Design.”

4. Do they understand that the ADA is a civil rights law, not a building code? Indirect consequences matter. The ADA begins with, “No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability…” You need someone who is able to read between the lines, not just follow a building code.

In the meantime, even if you don’t currently have an ADA program, I hope this publication helps you learn some common concerns about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and shows you tangible ways to make your facility more accessible for all your customers.

5. Are they a full-service architecture firm? A full-service firm can provide construction documents for your general contractor to make the fix, and then go back and certify the barrier removal and ADA compliance.

In the fast-moving world of retail and facilities management, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) can seem like a wild goose chase. And who has time for that, right? But with our population’s increasing accessibility needs and a significant rise in ADA lawsuits, it’s an issue you can’t afford to ignore. Based on information we’ve uncovered in the field, here are five simple tips that can help you address some common accessibility concerns:

Five practical tips on the ADA

GET IN THE KNOW

No. 1

Check your doors

Interior ADA compliant doors cannot take more than 5 pounds of force to open, but many people don’t realize this alters naturally when the weather changes. The grease viscosity changes the speed of the door opening and the power required to open it. We recommend checking this at least quarterly.

No. 2

Maintain your Accessible toilet rooms

Just because it's marked as “Accessible” does not mean it's actually ADA compliant.

Often, someone will buy an “Accessible Restroom” sign and stick it to the wall or door.

When these are not actually ADA compliant rooms, the experience can be very frustrating to someone in need of an accessible restroom. Simple things to check for are: • Door maneuvering clearance blocked by trash can – As long as the door opens 90 degrees, you can keep a trash can behind the door. But remember to use caution when you move it anywhere else around the door. You could be limiting the maneuvering space for someone in a wheelchair. (Refer to Section 603.2.3 and 404 of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.)

• Turn radius too small – When you enter the accessible toilet stall, is there room for a wheelchair to turn around? You can measure to make sure there is a clear space 60 inches in diameter or a T-shaped turn space within the toilet room. (Figure 304.3.2) • Dispensers installed incorrectly – Often, when you buy in bulk from a paper company, they'll provide you with new dispensers. When the new dispensers are installed, you must make sure they're still ADA compliant.

Usually, they're not installed within one of the required reach heights.

GET IN THE KNOW

• Signage placed incorrectly – There are rules as to where to put the sign so that's it easy to identify for individuals with disabilities such as vision impairment. The general rule of thumb is that the sign should be placed alongside the door at the latch side. If the door swings in, you can place the sign on the push side of the door. (Figure 703.4.2).

When it comes to toilet rooms, the ADA has a lot to say. Please see additional requirements for Toilet Rooms in Section 603 of the "2010 ADA Standards."

Schedule barrier removals with your remodels

The law requires that facilities have an accessibility plan, even if they aren’t currently fully compliant. To make these accessibility updates in a way that makes financial sense for your business, schedule accessibility updates as part of your already planned remodels.

No. 4

Assess your risk Prioritizing your barrier removals will help you

understand what you need to plan for. Certain elements have more of a lawsuit risk than others – particularly accessible parking. Make sure your parking lots and accessible parking spaces won’t make you a target. (Section 208).

No. 5

Train your staff

Facilities can go from compliant to non-compliant quickly when the staff inside doesn’t understand why things are placed where they are. Help them understand that you don’t move trash cans to block the opening

swing of doors, and always keep accessible signs visible.

The ADA can be difficult to understand because of the many interpretations and phrasings that seem unclear. To make matters worse, you can think you are in “compliance” with the Standards, but still be in violation because you did not understand the intent of the law.

Our recommendation is to always use this rule of thumb: If an individual without a disability can do it in your facility, you must make sure a person with a disability can have a similar experience in as independent a manner as possible.

Clearing a path Addressing experiential access

By Jack McMahan

One in five Americans has a functional impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. Furthermore, one in seven American families is affected by a family member with a disability.

Consequently, more than 21 years after the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), we're seeing Americans traveling with higher expectations regarding the level of accessibility to cultural venues, workplaces, restaurants, hotels, parks, museums, and other major tourism attractions.

This expectation rises greatly when the facility and program opportunities are newly constructed, designed and developed.

Architectural Barrier Removal – The Bedrock of ADA

Going places, doing things and having fun and specific. with family and friends.

In general, there are two types of access: physical access and program access. Physical access is what most people think of first. It encompasses access to buildings, structures and the environment. Physical access typically refers to things that are more concrete – things that are tangible, measurable.

Program Access Just as Important Program access addresses access to goods, services or activities; usually the reasons why we go places, or how we enjoy experiences offered. Programs occur in office buildings (atriums, eating areas, auditoriums, etc.), museums, theaters, libraries, restaurants, stadiums, recreation facilities, parks, schools, courtrooms, bankers, and many other facilities.

Program access is an abstract concept. It refers to the way we participate in life, typically through our senses (touch, taste, sight, touch and sound). Programs can include exhibits, displays, views, fountains, complex

MCINTOSHTRANSFORMS.COM MAY/JUNE 2017 ISSUE 1 COMMERCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS

179

CLEARING A PATH signage, building directories, facility lighting (“ambience”, if it's essential to the experience), and so much more.

Title II of the U.S. Department of Justice regulations for Title II requires that: a public entity shall operate each service, program, or activity so that the service, program, or activity, when viewed in its entirety, is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities."

This is known as the program access standard. Title II requires that qualified individuals with disabilities must also be provided an "equal opportunity to participate in" and "enjoy the benefits of " programs, services and activities.

Program access is an abstract concept. It refers to the way we participate in life, typically through our senses (touch, taste, sight, touch and sound).

Title III does not have as specific a program access standard for places of public accommodations. Instead, it specifies that "goods and services" provided by a public accommodation must be "readily accessible and usable" to people with disabilities. The phrase, “useable to people” provides the similarity with program access requirements of Title II. The wording in both Title II and Title III deliberately is subjective about how we build and deliver programmatic access.

180

COMMERCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS MAY/JUNE 2017 ISSUE 1 MCINTOSHTRANSFORMS.COM

Key points to remember • References to Program Access will not be found in the “2010 Standards for Accessible Design.” Instead, those standards are identified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 28 Part 35 (Public Entities) or CFR 28 Part 36 (Places of Public Accommodations). Unlike physical access where guidelines to identify and remedy architectural barrier deficiencies are clearly specified, no such guidelines exist for Title II or Title III. That doesn't mean that programmatic access is not required; it is. An overarching obligation of ADA is barrier removal. Like my colleague, Brad Gaskins, advises, "If an able-bodied person can do it (get into it, through it, participate in it or enjoy it), it usually needs to be made accessible."

• If an element (exhibit, display, sign, play area, map/diagram, building directory, performance/entertainment, etc.) is core to the intended visitor experience (i.e. emotion, education, discovery, entertainment, etc.), it's likely a "program or service," and should be made accessible.

• "Barrier Removal" isn't just for wheelchairs. A guiding principle of ADA is inclusion; recognizing the needs of all people with mobility, sensory (low-vision, blind, limited hearing, deafness, etc.) and/or cognitive (i.e., autism, traumatic brain injury, etc.) disabilities.

• Programs, activities and services must be made accessible whether the building is accessible or not.

• Making programs accessible can mean providing a physical solution.

For example, building a ramp to get on to a stage might make programs accessible.

ADA Q&A

What percentage of U.S. businesses are compliant with the ADA? Further, what are some of the major common violations that cause issues? – Chase B. My guess would be around .01 percent. There is not a single building that The McIntosh Group has surveyed that has not had some sort of violation. Some of our clients are among the best in the nation, although, their buildings have only become compliant after our surveys and making adjustments.

If the handrail on the side of the toilet is 30 inches in lieu of 42 caused by a door location conflict, what process can we use to modify the ADA dimensional requirements? Is there a waiver of such a minor dimensional oversight? – Connie M. There is no provision for a waiver of the ADA Standards. It is a civil rights law and one cannot discriminate. The only option is to relocate the door.

Can you elaborate on examples of when ADA compliance isn’t required? – Zack R. As a civil rights law, ADA compliance is always required, but there are two reasons that barrier removal does not have to take place. These are when the barrier removals are “Technically Infeasible” and “Not Readily Achievable.”

• Technically infeasible has little likelihood of being accomplished (i.e., existing physical/ site constraints that prohibit compliance).

• Readily achievable is easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense.

Even though these sound simple, the determination actually is very complex and depends on many factors. If the barrier is “technically infeasible” or “not readily achievable” to remove, then

it does not have to be removed. But that does not excuse one from not providing access in some other manner.

As far as in parking lots, you do have a barrier removal obligation, regardless of whether you repave. The trigger for removal of a barrier is simply that the barrier exists. You should absolutely make sure the lot is compliant.

Do state ADA guidelines act as a companion document or extension to the national guidelines?

– Paul A. There are no state ADA guidelines. There are building codes such as the ANSI A117.1, CBC Chapter 11, Florida Accessibility Standards, and Texas Accessibility Standards that must be complied with as part of the construction process. For example, California and Massachusetts, also have a state civil rights law that mimics and in some instances exceeds the ADA. The requirement would be that the most stringent requirement of the ADA Standards, the state standards or local building code would need to be complied with.

Must a complaint must be filed by someone in order for the Department of Justice to investigate an ADA violation? – Andrew A. No. A complaint is not required for the DOJ to take action. The DOJ can take action at any time on its own authority.

ACCESSIBILITY SPOTLIGHT

4 steps to accessibility Trying to meet all the requirements in the 2010 ADA Standards can be convoluted and confusing. Because of the vagueness in some of the wording, business owners often are left guessing at the interpretation. Add in the cost to remove barriers and it can seem insurmountable.

While it can be overwhelming, accessibility can be reached. The key is being proactive with scheduling and planning.

Barriers don't all have to be removed tomorrow. But you have to know what your barriers are and have a plan for how to remove them on your own schedule.

That way, you’ll get to spend your money the way you want to spend it – not the way a defendant and the Department of Justice will require if you're hit with a lawsuit.

For example, we had a client who had 500-plus locations across the nation get a complaint about two parking spaces at one of their locations. When the Department of Justice came knocking on their door, they were forced to bring all of their facilities into 100 percent compliance within a three-year period.

Because they were forced to be reactive, they spent a lot of money bringing everything into compliance in the short timeframe the

government required, rather than getting to plan and budget for themselves. e strongly recommend businesses be proactive W about ADA compliance. It’s really pretty simple if you follow the following four steps with a licensed architect specializing in the ADA:

Accessibility Compliance Process 1.

2.

3.

Survey

Access Plan

Solution Set

4.

Construction

Verify

1. Survey facilities in logical batches in order to discover the issues.

2. Determine how to solve the issues and prepare an Access Plan to help manage the program within your schedule and budget.

3. Implement the design solutions according the Access Plan.

4. Verify that the solutions were implemented correctly.

If you just take one step at a time and make consistent efforts to follow your plan, you'll achieve compliance. Not only will this greatly decrease your chance of litigation, but you'll find your customer base will grow. Accessible design serves all customers better. Friends and family of individuals with disabilities will be loyal to your business. Others will notice it feels more open and comfortable to be in your facility. This program takes time, but it's worth the effort.

Just stick with it. You can do it.

The fast track to rebuilding Atlanta’s I-85 bridge

By Chandler McCormack

O

n March 30, the nation breathed a collective sigh of relief when no deaths or injuries were reported in the rush-hour fire and subsequent collapse of the Atlanta I-85 bridge. The quarter-million vehicles that use the corridor daily would have to be absorbed by other already-congested routes, creating a challenging scenario for commuters and businesses throughout the metro area.

In a city that ranks eighth in the nation for traffic congestion, the question on everyone’s mind was, “How long will the corridor be closed?”

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) estimated that the rebuild would take at least several months. The fire caused extensive damage in both directions, collapsing 100 feet of the northbound lanes.

Seven hundred feet of elevated highway would have to be demolished and rebuilt.

The bridge reconstruction would be no small undertaking, and for Atlanta it seemed the road ahead was going to be long and slow.

RISING UP After the Smoke Had Cleared

Over the next few days, the outlook began to brighten. D.H. Griffin Wrecking was already onsite for demolition. C.W. Matthews, the contractor selected for the rebuild, was collaborating with GDOT’s engineers and vendors to identify ways to expedite the project. On April 5, GDOT announced a June 15 completion date, with financial incentives to finish even earlier.

Taking an Alternate Route

For the public, alternate routes meant major slowdowns. For the rebuild, it meant moving full-steam ahead. Instead of following the original bridge design, GDOT engineers came up with a redesign

“The local support was unbelievable, from businesses feeding the crews to people just thanking us for working so hard to get life back to normal.”

– Adam Grist, VP of Structures, C.W. Matthews

that made a 10-week completion realistic, including using a different beam type, retrofitting salvageable columns and using an accelerated concrete mix.

Had the original bridge design from 1984 been followed, the time for beam fabrication alone would have significantly slowed progress. Retrofitting salvageable columns, which entailed cutting them several feet below the caps, removing the old concrete cover material, and building new columns around the existing steel, further streamlined the effort.

Using a concrete mix with 24-hour strength development enabled each phase of construction to proceed at a much faster pace.

Every Second Counts

Dan Garcia, President of C.W. Matthews Contracting Co.

Within a half-hour after the bridge collapsed, GDOT and C.W. Matthews were in communication. Over the next few days, the contractor was right alongside GDOT engineers, providing input on the redesign from a construction perspective.

“We’d look for any issues that could be detrimental to the schedule and address them,” says Adam Grist, VP of structures.

“The criteria were that it had to work from a design standpoint and be able to be built as quickly as possible.”

As the redesign came together, C.W. Matthews immediately lined up its resources and ordered supplies, getting firm commitments from vendors to meet expedited schedules. “All our suppliers were able to meet or beat the schedule,” Grist says. “And the concrete plant was flexible enough to get us what we needed whenever we needed it.

We never waited on concrete.”

24/7 Construction and Public Outreach

As the week following the collapse came to a close, all heavy demolition was complete and 13 million pounds of rubble were hauled away. Construction was beginning, and the public would have virtual access to the jobsite through two construction cameras.

The Georgia Department of Transportation contracted OxBlue for all of the project’s construction camera service needs. The cameras on the jobsite provided still images, time-lapse video,

Watching progress via the construction cameras assisted stakeholders with project management, documentation and communication efforts.

“The cameras allowed the public to see we truly did everything possible to get this project finished,” Grist says.

“The local support was unbelievable, from businesses feeding the crews to people just thanking us for working so hard to get life back to normal.”

Getting It Done in Six Weeks

Had the original bridge design from 1984 been followed, the time for beam fabrication alone would have significantly slowed progress.

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2017

C.W. Matthews finished the I-85 rebuild one month ahead of schedule, completing the reconstruction in an impressive six weeks.

Crews and inspectors worked around the clock to keep the project moving forward. “Everyone understood the extent of the situation and really stepped up,” says day superintendent Steve Aponik. “No one asked, ‘How long will we be here?’ or ‘How many hours are we working today?’ The crews did everything that was asked of them and did a real fine job of it.”

CIRCLE NO. 73

RISING UP

Aponik says the construction cameras helped keep things moving forward, too.

The cameras allowed project teams to view the jobsite remotely on computers and mobile devices. “I could see what did or didn’t happen overnight and arrive in the morning geared up for what we needed to do that day.”

“The cameras helped get the project done quickly because you didn’t miss anything when you were offsite,” says Dan Garcia, president of C.W. Matthews.

“Everyone was able to see what was going on all of the time.”

GM Brad Nelson was offsite for two weeks due to knee surgery, but was still actively participating in the project. “I was able to follow developments and keep up with the schedule. When I got called with questions, I could answer them right away because I could see everything happening.”

Given the urgency of this project, C.W. Matthews had to have a contingency plan in case something did not happen as expected. Grist, who headed up the project and was on site during the day, says the

“In roughly 25 years, I have never seen a bridge be designed and constructed this quickly.

The quality in what’s being done is second to none.”

– Marc Mastronardi, Director of Construction, GDOT

cameras helped with those efforts. “If we were expecting a delivery by 8 p.m., I could verify that it happened. If it didn’t, I could start making calls to find out why and figure out what to do next so that we didn’t lose any time.”

Atlanta Reconnected

On May 13, I-85 opened to traffic, reconnecting northeast Atlanta to the rest of the city and earning C.W. Matthews a $3.1 million bonus. GDOT’s director of construction, Marc Mastronardi, praised the effort, saying, "In roughly 25 years, I have never seen a bridge be designed and constructed this quickly. The quality in what's being done is second to none."

C.W. Matthews emphasizes that the achievement is the result of extraordinary coordination and communication among everyone involved, including the state, subcontractors and suppliers. Additionally, specific equipment and materials, such as the accelerated concrete mix, an 800-ton crane, and the construction cameras, collectively saved a significant amount of time. CCR
