LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear CAM Members, On behalf of myself, our 2018 Chairman Joseph Fontanesi of Fontanesi & Kann, and the entire CAM Board of Directors, we wish each and every one of you a very happy and prosperous New Year. All indicators point to 2019 being a stable year for Michigan’s construction industry. National forecasts have nonresidential construction increasing an average of 4 percent, compared with 4.7 percent in 2018. On the local level, forecasters are anticipating non-residential growth to be around 3 percent. Construction employment in Michigan is forecasted to grow by 5,700 jobs in 2019. In February of 2018, CAM launched the Member Login Portal. This new system allows users to login and access exclusive members-only rates and services, register for events, update company information, and pay balances online. You can access your account by going to www.BuildwithCAM.com and clicking on Member Login. Our CAM Government Affairs Committee (GAC) continued to identify, shape and promote pro-business and pro-construction policies and legislation. During 2018, the CAM GAC closely monitored and actively advanced CAM’s position on workforce development initiatives, preservation of Michigan’s 50-year-old Prevailing Wage Law, and Prompt Pay Legislation. The committee drafted and submitted to Michigan legislators what is hoped will become Michigan’s first prompt pay legislation (Michigan Construction Payment Act) for the private sector, known as Senate Bill 1121. We need your support! In June, Governor Snyder signed a series of bills that allow for the capture of income, sales and use taxes by developers with a state-approved “transformational Brownfield Plan” (TBP). We see this as a great opportunity for our industry. Our GAC will remain focused and vigilant - should you have an issue you would like us to consider, please do not hesitate to give me a call. CAMTEC piloted the new CAM Leadership Academy in March of 2018 in partnership with Premier Executive Forums. The new program was a success with 18 participants. We are currently working on the development of the next phase designed for mid- to senior-level managers, with a project launch during the Fall of 2019. We will be offering phase one of the Leadership Academy again starting this January. CAMTEC held more than 60 classes attended by nearly 1,100 students. In 2018, CAMSAFETY was awarded a MIOSHA Mini-Grant to order a set of 1/3rd scales training frame scaffold to be used to support the MIOSHA Alliance, MIOSHA Training Institute programming, Mid-America OSHA Education Center programming, and the development of a CAMTEC “Ground Supported Scaffold Competent Person” Training Program. The new program will be offered in 2019. Throughout 2018, the CAM Newsroom brought members new bidding opportunities, closing out the year with 200+ projects in the design phase and over 8,000 projects reported on in the bidding phase. The Newsroom is looking forward to a stellar 2019, and is committed to giving subscribers the opportunity to bid the most current and up-to-date project information as it is released. Subscribe today! In June, CAM, along with the HBA of Southeast Michigan and the AIA, presented the 8th annual Mid-Year Economic Forecast and State of the Industry Breakfast. More than 200 attendees heard from keynote speakers Eric Bussis from the Michigan Department of Treasury and Jim Baird of Plante Moran. During the event, CAM’s Chairman Joe Fontanesi was interviewed by WJR’s “Inside Outside Guys” radio broadcast, which aired on July 7th. The CAM/Plante Moran 2018 Biennial Business Survey for construction also released survey results at the meeting. To see how contractors feel about the future of Michigan’s construction market, check out the complete survey results by visiting www.BuildwithCAM.com. In April 2018, we held our held our inaugural CAM Client Council meeting in an effort to join our industry with progressive owner groups to deliver uncompromised results for the benefit of the Michigan Marketplace. The mission of the council is alignment and strategic partnerships between contractors and owners to provide an open forum of information sharing to address issues most important to mutual success. Building off of the success of the April meeting, a second session was held in November. These meetings have been very beneficial - as a result, expect to see new programs and programming in 2019. Stay tuned as we roll out our Advanced Jobsite Tour Initiative and our Project Manager Training Academy. In 2018, CAM’s dedicated staff, assisted by strong committee support, brought together well over 1,000 individuals to network in different venues to further their businesses. The list includes: an event benefitting the CAM Scholarship Fund; a well-attended Men’s Bowling Doubles Classic; an afternoon bowling league; four sold-out golf outings, two sporting clay shoots; a European Pheasant Hunt; an opening day tailgate; a dream cruise event; VIP party followed by a Tiger Game; and the Building Connections fundraiser for the Boy Scouts Great Lakes Council. The 2019 schedule is available on the CAM website - check it out and join us! The three CAM partners who help us service our membership - CAM Benefit Program (CBP), our health Insurance provider; CAM Worker’s Compensation Program (CAMComp), and Construction Federal Credit Union (CFCU) - continue to work tirelessly on behalf of you, our Membership. If you haven’t checked them out lately, you need to do so. In closing, I hope to see all of you at our 2019 Michigan Construction & Design Tradeshow and the 133rd CAM Annual Meeting at MotorCity Casino Hotel on February 5, 2019. This year’s Keynote speaker is Sammy L. Davis, Sergeant, U.S. Army and recipient of the Medal of Honor. Tradeshow hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can register to attend via CAM’s website. See you at the show and annual meeting.
Sincerely,

Safety Tool Kit ELEMENTS OF A SAFETY & HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Temporary Workers: A Shared Responsibility
By Jason Griffin CAM DireCtor of eDUCAtioN AND SAfetY ServiCeS
n the November issue of CAM Magazine, we looked at the first half of the seventh and last core element that OSHA included in its document “Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs in Construction,” which focused on multiemployer worksites. The article included links and information to the MIOSHA instruction for multiemployer worksites. This is an important guidance document for contractors who function as general contractors employing subcontractors or construction management firms who oversee projects where multiple GCs and their subs perform work. There is a shared responsibility amongst all of the contractors on the worksite to ensure that safe conditions are maintained. This process can be further complicated by contractors who may be employing temporary workers from staffing firms or who recruit labor through the various unions and merit shop organizations. In this article, we will be looking at the shared responsibilities that employers and staffing agencies have for temporary workers. There are a few questions that arise when working with temporary workers regarding responsibility for training, recording of injuries and illnesses, andincident investigations. We will discuss each of these items and some resources that are available to provide guidance to employers about their responsibilities under the occupational safety and health laws. During this discussion, employers who contract with temporary agencies for staffing needs will be referred to as the host employer, and employers who provide temporary workers for host employers will be referred to as staffing agencies. Let’s begin with what responsibilities host employers and staffing agencies have related to training. Each employer has a responsibility under the law to provide site-specific training on the hazards, tools, and safeguards used to protect employees at a particular worksite. Staffing agencies and host employers should work together to establish contractually which parties will be responsible for the specific training needs for a particular project. Often, the staffing agency will provide general safety

training or awareness-level training for the employees it supplies to a host employer. The types of training that might be included in the category of awareness training include things like bloodborne pathogens, OSHA 10-Hour programs, first aid, injury and illness reporting for the staffing agency, and other general awareness training. The host employer will be responsible for site-specific training on the tools, unique site conditions, hazards, and jobsite procedures to be followed for their worksites. A good method for host employers to implement is training temporary workers on the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) or Task Hazard Analysis (THA) for particular operations or equipment. The host employer should also identify who its competent person or people are for a project. Under many of the standards, the competent person has responsibility for training employees or monitoring safe working conditions in his or her areas of competency. The next item that we will look at is the responsibility for recordkeeping. I am often asked whether an injury for a temporary worker should be recorded on the host employer’s or the staffing agency’s injury and illness log. OSHA requires that when an injury occurs on a worksite, the injury be recorded on the log of the employer who is providing direct supervision of the worker. This means that, in most cases, the host employer will record the injury on their log. This is important to understand because when using temporary workers, the host employer will want to ensure that temporary workers have been adequately trained for the worksite conditions. When a serious injury occurs and an employee is hospitalized as a result, the host employer would have the responsibility for reporting that serious injury to MIOSHA or OSHA within 24 hours, and the host employer should also share that information with the staffing agency. Both the host employer and the staffing agency should have established procedures in their contract regarding the reporting of injuries, procedures for clinical care through either the host employer or staffing agency’s occupational clinic, and joint investigations of incidents to identify the need for additional training or procedural adjustments. Visit us online at www.BuildwithCAM.com
The key to a successful relationship between a staffing agency and a host employer is the clear identification of each employer’s responsibilities in a contract. This requires effective communication of the host employer’s needs and expectations to the staffing agency. The staffing agency should be providing records of the general awareness training that its employees have received relating to the industry in which it will be placing temporary workers to host employers. This communication helps to protect both employers by clearly identifying limitations that a particular employee may have relating to job responsibilities. A host employer when providing site-specific or equipment-specific training to a temporary worker should communicate what training it provided to a particular worker so that comprehensive training records can be maintained for a particular temporary worker. Both employers should also review each other’s accident prevention programs to identify whether

the relationship will be a good fit and where additional coordination may be needed to maintain or develop an effective relationship between the two firms. In summary, when employing temporary workers, both the staffing agency and employer have specific host responsibilities under the law. OSHA and MIOSHA have resources that are available under the temporary worker initiative. Employers can access these using the A to Z topic search functions on the agencies’ websites. There are a variety of guidance documents available to employers that provide a much greater review of what responsibilities each employer has under the law.

SUSTAINABILITY
The House Re-Imagined Unprecedented Energy Performance in a Modular Home ModulONE Approx. 400 square feet
By Douglas
Elbinger,
Energy Systems Finance, Newman Consulting Group LLC
he oldest evidence associating the control of fire with Homo Sapiens is found at Israel's Qesem Cave dating back 400,000 years. Since then, caves have evolved into pretty nice homes...but what hasn’t changed is that we are still burning fossil fuels or wood to cook and keep warm. This is about to change. Advancements in technology, design strategies, and market capacity have brought Zero Energy construction to the mainstream. Studying the market for manufactured, modular, and passive homes for the last several years, I have been impressed with continuous advances in construction methods and materials used to make them faster, better, cheaper...and more efficient. When I first stumbled upon the Dom.ai website (www.passivedom.com) it left me with that this is too-good-to-be-true feeling. I just had to see this for myself. I followed the progress of this Ukrainian start-up to Reno, Nevada, where they are building prototypes and getting ready to scale up production to be better positioned for international growth. In October 2018, I made a trip to Reno to see this for myself and meet the principal inventor, Max Gerbut. I was not disappointed. Max has a Ph.D. in engineering and solid state physics. He built the first prototype houses in his native Ukraine to prove the concept and then moved the company to Reno last year. “Dom.ai is the world’s first mobile and transportable house with Passive House certification,” said Gerbut. “The use of advanced materials and unique developments by our engineers, the Dom.ai has the highest thermal performance of any manufactured residential building in the world. That’s why it is possible to realize full off-grid autonomy in arctic or tropic climates without a fuel-fired heating or cooling system.”
T
Let’s Look at the ‘Envelope’ It is common knowledge that most windows are the functional equivalent of a hole in the wall, and the Dom.ai has a large window-towall ratio. Accepting this challenge, principal designer and CEO Max Gerbut states, “Our windows save 14x more energy than typical double-pane window. Windows with an R-value of 5 are some of the most energy-efficient windows commercially available in the U.S. As a comparison, Energy Star–rated windows typically hold an R-value of 3. Our six-pane windows are rated at an astounding R-35.” Since I’d never seen any windows like this before, I carefully examined them in the prototype, and yes, R-35 is a reasonable rating. Speaking of windows in place of curtains or drapes, the windows are equipped with ‘electrochromic glass,’ which allows you to adjust the transparency of the windows to suit your need for privacy or natural light. Dom.ai is engineered to attain a 20x better energy efficiency compared to a typical Michigan code built house. The envelope is about 10 inches thick made of a 3D-printed shell filled with a polymer composite that clocks in with R-80 rating. Yes. You read that right, R80. Layer by layer, the seven-axel robot prints the floor, walls, and roof, made of carbon fiber, polyurethane, resins, basalt fibers, and fiberglass. It takes about eight hours to print the shell for the basic 400 square foot model. The windows, doors, plumbing, electrical systems, and finishes are then added by skilled humans. Although PassiveDom is not the only company using 3D printing to build homes, it is the only company using this patent pending composite material for the extraordinary insulation ratings. Off-Grid Sustainability Right out of the box, the Dom.ai is absolutely-self-sustainable and off-the-grid. The home can be set in place and doesn’t need to be connected to anything. No electric lines, no water /sewage hook-up, no propane tanks, no gas lines, or firewood. Clean energy and sustainability is the core focus of design. Built into the roof are solar panels connected to a battery (located in the 16 CAM MAGAZINE JANUARY 2019

floor) with sufficient energy to power the house for weeks. Water is harvested from the humidity in the air. Depending on the climate and utility rates, the Dom.ai can save over $2,500 a year in energy and water expense. Living off-grid doesn’t mean that you should forego the benefits of smart home technology. There are no compromises in its designed for comfort. It is pre-equipped with everything you need – furniture, and a full range of kitchen appliances. Modular Construction The modular construction allows for the units to be combined to create a larger building. The units are transported on a flat-bed truck and hoisted into place...with or without a foundation. It can be placed on any solid, level ground surface. The modular construction can be configured as a primary residence, a guest house, a vacation home, or a unit for rent...think AirB&B. If necessary, it can be easily relocated. The basic unit ModulOne has living space of approximately 400 square feet, a little larger than many ‘tiny’ homes. ModulTwo is basically twice the size with approximately 800 square feet that looks like a comfy onebedroom apartment. This virtually maintenance-free house can arrive as a basic no frills DIY, or with a fully equipped kitchen: microwave oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee machine; bathroom: toilet, shower, combo washer/dryer, sink. A sofa-bed or queen bed, table, chairs, kitchen cabinets, closet also included. The house is so efficient that Dom.ai can be heated and cooled Visit us online at www.BuildwithCAM.com

with solar power only, even in foggy, cold, and overcast climates. The engineered systems include climate control featuring an externally (but hidden) mounted Mitsubishi heat pump and air conditioner that you’ll rarely need to use. In mild climates, body heat should suffice. Air quality system: HEPA filtration, antibacterial system, CO2 & humidity sensors and controls. Energy: embedded in the roof is a solar array connected to a LiFePo4 battery for storage. Sewage: integrated greywater tank and greywater filter, integrated blackwater tank for the toilet, external big capacity tank or septic system is also an option. The Dom.ai can be easily hooked-up to regular electric grid, water and sewage connections when available. The Dom.ai supplies its own water with an air-to-water system (reverse osmosis water condensation from humidity in the air), or you can pour water into the system yourself. Add-ons include a Sonos speaker system, Nest camera and thermostat, Apple TV, 100″ projector screen, 24/7 internet connection, and even a fingerprint-activated security door lock. I almost forgot to mention this home can be monitored off your phone with the Internet of Things (IoT). Each house is further monitored by the manufacturer. A cloud-based video surveillance and alarm system promises to keep your home safe. Check out the www.passive.dom website for contact information and current prices. Once the production is scaled up, Max says the house can be shipped to your location from stock. No permits required in most places and except for site preparation - this house is move-in ready. 18 CAM MAGAZINE JANUARY 2019

DEMOCRATIC DESIGN VS DESIGNING DEMOCRATICALLY: The Role of
Processes
Participatory in Creating Design
that Reflects Its Users
By
Samantha Szeszulski, Associate AIA
Of the People, By the People, For the People he idea of “design for democracy” has been around at least since Frank Lloyd Wright began pursuing an “architecture for democracy.” He was striving to create an architecture for a free and democratic people, across America. This meant designing homes that reflected democratic values and created opportunity for everyone to live in and grow in environments that connected them to nature. He was striving for an architectural style that reflected America, while being diverse enough to reflect the various natural contexts across the country. He is widely known for promoting and popularizing progressive design ideals. While Wright may have been one of the earliest, he is not the last architect or designer to tout the idea of creating democratic designs. In current context, we use the term in association with companies like IKEA, which strives to provide good quality designs to everyone at an economically conscious price tag. IKEA bases their designs around five principles: form, function, sustainability, quality, and low price. One can see how some or all of these principles translate into values for designing democratic architecture. While these design principles are valuable to aspire to, alone they do not cause democratic design. They are flawed in their process and the universality of their approach. Democracy is first and foremost about process. Democracy, simply put, is a decision-making process by a large population. While this often occurs through elected representatives, the intention is to provide a voice to the whole population it serves. Democratic designs resulting without a democratic process may have the intentions of best serving the people, but those intentions cannot be confirmed until tested through a larger participatory process. The idea of “…of the people, by the people, for the people…” is ingrained in America’s Democratic ideas. While many designers strive to design for the people, it is the authorship aspect that is often minimized or lacking in the process.

The Value of Participatory Processes in Design I prefer the mantra of “nothing about us, without us, is for us� to describe the importance of participatory processes in design. Too often, designers and architects are quick to assume they know the needs of the community or users, based on their own limited knowledge or experience. They then try to present a conceptual design to the client and community, which often leaves little to no room for input or feedback. While the best of intentions might be present, no designer can capture the specific needs of all users of a project without hearing all the various viewpoints. The misconception is that architects are the experts, and the community or client is to benefit from our design expertise. But the community - the users - are the experts on what they need from their built environments; from how the space needs to function, to stylized design approaches that may or may not be the right approach for their community. The expertise of the designer should be to facilitate the collection of these important pieces of project-specific knowledge and bring to the table ideas that the client or community may not be already thinking about. The designer is only one of what should be many perspectives in a room of decision makers. It is their job to take the collection of ideas and priorities presented and to organize them into a cohesive design that should then be tested, and retested, by the community. The value of participatory processes in creating a design solution is great. Design is about place, and the people who live in those places. Successful design is not neutral. It must reflect something and someone, or else it is reflective of nothing at all. It is personal, not to the designer and his or her values, but to the values of the community that is to utilize it. The goal should be to create ownership of the design by the community. Upon completion, they should be able to walk into a space and visually see the impact their input has had on the design. How Do We Design Democratically? As important as the why is the how. How do we build trust in a community? How do we collect the local expertise? How do we Visit us online at www.BuildwithCAM.com

resolve all the information we receive? And how does that information get reflected in the design? While there are several published resources developed on the possible methods, the approach should be tailored to the specific community. Again, there is no universal approach to democratic design—in process or deliverable—but there are some common priorities to be considered. First, prioritize getting people to the table. Without having the community present, there is no chance for their voices to be heard. Communicate with them through the means they use to share and receive information. Be present when and where they’re present. Come to them, where they’re comfortable, and at their convenience. Next, create a dialogue. Prioritize listening while letting them speak; if you spend your time with the community only speaking about your ideas, you’re limiting their opportunity to share their knowledge with you. Ask questions, and then let the community own the conversation. Reiterate what you’ve been told, so that they know you’re listening—which builds trust. Democratic design processes are transactional and iterative. They require giving and receiving between designers and the community, but also between members within the community itself. Not everyone is going to agree, and that’s okay. But by allowing everyone to be a part of the conversation, a consensus can be reached, and everyone is able to understand the “why” behind each decision that was made. Just as democratic design solutions are specific to people and place, the democratic design process should be. To serve the people, they must come from the people. It is only through a democratic design process that democratic design can be created, and the level to which the process is made inclusive will be reflected in the success of the design.

Family of Bosch 360 Three-Plane Leveling and Alignment Line Lasers Offer Allin-One Layout Convenience in Green Beam and Red Beam Bosch’s 2018 introduction of its GLL3-330CG, GLL3-330C and GLL3-300 Three-Plane Leveling and Alignment Line Lasers deliver accuracy, long-range and convenient all-in-one job layout to meet a variety of tasks on the jobsite. The self-leveling lasers provide one 360° horizontal plane and two 360° vertical planes with references that cover the floor, wall and ceiling to serve all leveling needs. The two vertical lines cross at 90° angles so the user can quickly arrange and square the layout of the room from one mark. Three-Plane Lasers That Deliver Precision The GLL3-330C (red beam) and GLL3-330CG (green beam) are Bluetooth® connected, which brings an added measure of efficiency and convenience to the user. With upgraded diodes and brighter beams, these plane lasers offer a visible range up to 200 ft. diameter, increasing to 330 ft. diameter when paired with an optional Bosch LR8 or LR 6 receiver for full jobsite coverage. The GLL3-330CG’s green laser diodes generate green lines up to 4X brighter than standard red beams. The tool excels in ambient and bright lighting environments, allowing the user to see lines easily. The two lasers have dual power technology to accommodate either a Bosch 12V Max Lithium-ion battery or four AA alkaline batteries. The 12V Max battery provides power in a compact package for extended laser runtime on all-day layout jobs. In addition, users can control the operation of the GLL3-330C and GLL3-330CG Bosch lasers remotely with a smart phone and the free Bosch Leveling Remote App, available at the Apple App Store® and Google Play™ Store. The app allows users to turn the leveling laser on and off, select the number of laser planes active and adjust the visibility of the laser lines. The app also provides battery status and out-of-level alerts. The GLL3-300 offers upgraded diodes and a brighter red beam with a visible range of up to 200 ft. diameter and 300 ft. diameter when using an optional Bosch LR8 or LR6 receiver for full job site coverage.

The QUADSAW Is the World’s First Tool That Drills a Square Hole The QUADSAW, manufactured in the U.K., is the world’s first accessory that can drill a square hole. The product comes with six blades that can be changed in seconds to allow you to cut both single and double sockets. It also comes with a pilot drill and spirit level to locate and level the cut. The QUADSAW works with a drill driver (not impact driver) with the required RPM – not hammer or percussion. Based on U.S. demand, a U.S.-specific model QUADSAW was scheduled for 2018. To secure your QUADSAW, registration is necessary. By registering, you guarantee a place in the queue, per the company. The U.S. model will cut single and double gang sockets (old work box sizes). Blades are also being designed to enable the QUADSAW to also cut the slightly smaller holes for the gem metal boxes that use the BX cable. “This is the first product in the world that can truly drill a square hole,” said QUADSAW designer Michael Sebhatu, co-founder of London-based start-up Genius IP. “The uniqueness of it is not just that it cuts the hole perfectly, but that it does so with total ease and minimal mess, making life easier for anyone who is using it.” For more information, visit www.quadsaw.com.

announces their new “World’s First” large angle grinders with safety brake. They offer a 7” version (WEPB 24-180 MVT) and a 9” version (WEPB 24-230 MVT), both made in Germany. “Safety is an integral part of Metabo’s philosophy, so introducing these two new large grinders with safety brakes was just a natural progression. They complete our lineup of 4-1/2”, 5” and 6” safety grinders, corded and cordless” said Terry Tuerk, Metabo’s Senior Product Manager. The new safety brake grinders stop the wheel in 2.5 seconds of releasing the paddle switch, significantly reducing the risk of injury in the event the operator loses control of the tool. Keeping the end user's safety in mind, other safety features of these tools include: a non-locking paddle switch and an electronic clutch, which helps protect the user against kick-back if the wheel binds. Both grinders also include electronic overload protection to keep the motor from overheating, prolonging the tools life, and restart protection, which prevents the tool from restarting on its own in the event of a power interruption. They are also equipped with an advanced anti-vibration side handle. For more information, visit www.metabo.com.

Salvaging a Building, Building a Community: 2 | 42 Community Church Launches New Ann Arbor Campus
By Mary Kremposky Associate Editor

A
n old shipping container becomes a snack shop, reclaimed barn wood transforms the walls, and recycled wood is given new life as a conference room table. Like changing water into wine, the repurposing of worn materials is part of the conversion of a vacant industrial warehouse into a light-filled, brightly colored community center and worship space for 2|42 Community Church’s new Ann Arbor campus on Wagner Road. The remaking of this mid-1970s building is an act of redemption embodying the mission of this rapidly growing church in west Ann Arbor. “We love the fact that bringing in reclaimed materials and redeeming this property – essentially creating a new story for things that used to have an old story – is subtly tied into what our heart and passion is as a church,” said 2|42 Executive Pastor, Business and Family Ministries Eric Rauch. “The materials and the building subtly help us to share the greatest redemption story of all time every weekend.” Using innovative materials, intrepid phasing, and a structural steel sleight-of-hand in removing an existing column and inserting new steel beams, Hobbs + Black Architects, Ann Arbor, and Contracting Resources, Inc., Brighton, helped 2|42 turn this empty shell of a building into a host of inspired spaces, including a café and fireside nook, an 800-seat worship space, an indoor turf field and playscape for young children, and meeting spaces for people from every walk of life. This redemption story extends beyond the re-invented 50,000-square-foot building and its 15-acre site. Revamping a non-descript, lowprofile building into a structure with a compelling architectural presence aids in the revitalization of the entire west side of Ann Arbor, a section of town mainly populated with commonplace strip malls and industrial centers. A predominately glass-wrapped addition doubles the height of the existing building, making it visible in all directions and turning it into an illuminated beacon at night, according to Hobbs + Black Senior Associate Jonathan Pearn. The addition has a prominent red cornice and two different colors of low E-coated glass. Creating a window within a window, a deepset frame of corrugated green metal separates solar blue-tinted glass from the larger gray curtain wall. “The different glass colors are more readily seen at night, and it creates an interesting, almost television-like effect,” said Pearn. Boldly colored, corrugated metal window frames accent the entire building, honoring the structure’s industrial past but successfully turning a tired warehouse into a high-energy, contemporary exterior.

the exterior transformation of this preengineered steel building. “The building is a breath of fresh air for the west side of Ann Arbor,” said Pearn. The renovated building breathes new life into its immediate three-building campus neighborhood as well. “All three of the buildings (the 2|42 building and two adjacent buildings) once totaled 150,000 square feet of vacant building space,” said Rauch. “We liked the idea of being part of the redemption story of this part of town and of this particular campus of buildings.” Building Community More than redeeming a building, the 2|42 Church focuses on building community. “The church is not a place, the church is people,” said Rauch. “We wanted to build a space where people can gather in community and learn and grow with one another.” The long journey to such a place began in 2009 – the year 2|42 launched its Ann Arbor church. The church quickly transitioned from meeting in the Four Points by Sheraton in Ann Arbor to acquiring a 13,000-square-foot building along South Maple Road. Further growth led to a 12- to 18-month search for a larger Ann Arbor facility in 2015 and 2016. The Wagner Road site offered the church room to expand, easy access to and from area freeways, and the ability for neighborly sharing of the sizeable parking lots in the three-building complex. “The existing building already had fire suppression, resulting in a significant cost savings,” said Rauch. The prime advantage: the building’s wide open spaces offered a blank slate for the creation of the ultimate community gathering space in a facility open every day of the week for over 12 hours a day. Available to the entire community and not just church members, “the building is 2|42’s gift to the community, and our way of freely giving of our resources,” said Rauch. The choice of 2|42 as the name for the Ann Arbor church and its three other campuses in Brighton, Lansing and Saginaw expresses the church’s spirit of giving and its deep roots in community. The numbers refer to a chapter and several Visit us online at www.BuildwithCAM.com
verses in the Acts of the Apostles describing the first Christian church and its members breaking bread together in their homes, praying together, and giving to those in need. “We took that name in 2005 because we wanted to be reminded constantly that we should look like the first church,” said Rauch. “People met communally in each other’s homes, and we have weekend services, but we have small groups meeting in homes across this community throughout the week diving into Scripture in a deep way.” Having built the first 2|42 Community Church in Brighton in 2013, Contracting Resources understands the 2|42 spirit. “Just as the first Christian church met in homes, the 2|42 Church in Ann Arbor is home to the entire community,” said Contracting Resources’ President Jim Barnas, AIA.

Contracting Resources understands budget and schedule as well. Contracting Resources not only delivers on time and within budget, but “they tell us the full scope and the full story early on in the project,” said Rauch who worked as an engineer for 10 years. “They are not telling us that it costs this much and at the end of the project it costs 20 percent more. They are not telling us that it’s going to take this long and then it takes a year longer. They are giving us real information upfront.” This modus operandi is rooted in the guiding principles of Contracting Resources. “We want to give owners the information they need to make good decisions,” said Barnas. “We like to provide good recommendations and solutions, and to challenge owners and designers.” Designing Community As another important part of informationgathering, 2|42 actively sought input from school administrators, business leaders, and other Ann Arbor groups to understand

the needs of the community. “Several themes emerged, the first being the community wanted a free, safe and readily available place for kids to play in the winter,” said Rauch. “Secondly, the community wanted a variety of meeting rooms and conference spaces. Those spaces exist in Ann Arbor, but they are largely on college campuses.” The church interviewed four architectural firms to turn this community blueprint into vibrant spaces to play, meet and worship. 2|42 ultimately selected Hobbs + Black Architects because of the firm’s ability to generate an inspiring design vision, thanks to Senior Associate David Nims, and to produce thorough, detailed design documents, courtesy of Senior Vice President Brian Bagnick and his team. “We liked the examples of Nims’ past work,” said Rauch. “We felt that he picked up the DNA of our church quickly and that he would be able to replicate that in our facility design. Hobbs + Black also has a proven track record of creating great plans, ensuring that Contracting Resources wouldn’t be surprised during the construction process. We asked Dave to lead on the visioning and Brian on the nuts and bolts, and together their strengths worked to our advantage.” 56 CAM MAGAZINE JANUARY 2019
Hobbs + Black created a communitycentric exterior and interior, the exterior offering three different entrances for easy access to different venues and the interior placing the wide open community space front and center in line with 2|42’s mission and the building’s usage patterns. The visitor steps into the interior and first sees the expansive community space, including the café, indoor turf field, and playscape, unfolding in full view. The multipurpose worship spaces – an auditorium for adults, a youth area for teens, and a child-friendly series of rooms called the Kids’ Space – border the edges of this broad communal “landscape” actually designed to simulate an indoor park. “The worship center is the focal point in many other churches, but the design had to meet the goals of a community space used on a daily basis and not just on the weekends,” said Pearn. Solution I: Inverted Phasing This well-chosen design and construction team rolled up its collective sleeves and set to work “redeeming” the box-like, industrial building. Phasing proved to be one of the more daunting concerns. With the church growing rapidly and congregants standing almost shoulder-to-shoulder in cramped quarters during services, construction of a “The Voice of The Construction Industry®”
C O N S T R U C T I O N
temporary worship area in the community space became the two-year project’s main priority and its first of three phases. “Contracting Resources and Hobbs + Black helped to guide us through the three phases of the project to get us into the space as quickly as possible,” said Rauch. The immediate need for a larger worship space reversed the usual construction phasing. Phase I’s temporary worship space and Phase II’s permanent one took precedence over construction of the Phase III addition. Contracting Resources had to open up a whole side of the building to construct the 3,500-square-foot addition in the last phase of the project. “A good third of the building at the southeast corner was completely removed to make way for the new addition,” said Contracting Resources Project Manager Mike Cirka. Contracting Resources devised lifesafety plans for each phase. “We made sure that everyone got in and out of the building safely,” said Contracting Resources Project Superintendent Brad Barnard. Constructing a series of 23-foothigh temporary walls spanning the length of the entire building created a safe environment. “We built multiple floor-toroof deck temporary walls,” said Cirka. “The walls separated the worship spaces in Phase I and Phase II from the construction site, and we also built temporary walls to separate the exterior building envelope demolition from the rest of the building in Phase III.” As an unforeseen benefit, 2|42’s fundraising program, called Devoted, was given a boost as thousands of people witnessed the progress of the building each week. In one instance, “we blocked in the whole Phase III area with temporary fencing to allow members to safely view the space,” said Cirka. The three phases were delivered almost like separate projects, although the phased approach demanded juggling active construction issues in Phase I, design of Phase II, and planning for Phase III. “The phasing was the hardest part because it required Hobbs + Black to produce three separate design drawings,” said Barnas. “We had three separate potential bidders Visit us online at www.BuildwithCAM.com
and three separate permits.” To make it happen, “we held discussions with Scio Township to help them understand the phasing,” added Cirka. “We also had a number of on-site meetings with township inspectors.” Phase I involved installation of 600 portable seats, a portable stage, completion of permanent rest rooms, and construction of the first wave of temporary walls. Until Phase I was completed in December 2016, Contracting Resources “stopped work at noon each Friday to clean the site and prepare the building for weekend services,” said Cirka. Phase II, launched on Easter and completed by Christmas 2017, included construction of the permanent worship area, followed by the creation of the Kids’ Space, the youth area, and the wide open community center. The Phase III addition contains a playscape, interactive game room, a series of tunnels and mounds for toddlers to scramble over and through, and the creation of a rare foam pit designed and constructed to simulate a small swimming pond.
H I G H L I G H T
Solution II: A Structural Sleight of Hand In addition to phasing savvy, Contracting Resources offered invaluable recommendations to the 2|42 Community Church. One pivotal recommendation called for the removal of a column standing almost directly in front of the worship auditorium’s altar or stage. Barnas and Contracting Resources’ Preconstruction Services Director John Jickling discussed column removal with 2|42 Lead Pastor David Dummitt. Contracting Resources prepared a cost estimate, and the church agreed to move forward with removal to create an unobstructed view of the stage. The steel column was removed toward the end of Phase I, the only tell-tale sign of its presence is a faint diamond shaped outline in the epoxy floor. “Removing the column, shoring up the two columns on either side, and installing gigantic beams improved the space and made it more usable,” said Pearn. Barnard worked with the steel contractor on the installation of four, 42-inch-wide flange steel beams designed to structurally compensate for the removed column.

Each of the 40-foot-long beams were transported into the building on a car chassis. According to Cirka, bolted steel plates join together two pairs of spliced beams, ultimately creating two 80foot-long steel members installed side-by-side across the front of the worship space.

734.654.9800 58 CAM MAGAZINE JANUARY 2019
Solution III: The Art of Camouflage The project team creatively resolved the challenges of working within the column grid and rigid geometry of the existing industrial building. The existing building’s columns, set in 40 x 40foot bays, are disguised as wood-clad abstract trees. In the community space, a ring of vertical wood planks encircle the columns and sprout angled “branches” at the upper levels, turning the columns into trees “growing” around the borders of the turf field. Hobbs + Black camouflaged the existing building’s square geometry with a series of curvilinear elements. In the wide open community space, the large oval of the turf field, the sweeping curve of the café screen wall, and the arc of the half-wall lightly dividing the playscape from the main community area dissolves the square form of the industrial building. Placing the ductwork above the ceiling preserves a sense of openness and maintains ceiling heights throughout the interior. The ductwork for the worship space is actually concealed above the ceiling of the adjacent Kid’s Space and snakes through the walls of the worship space. The project team made full use of the industrial building’s two mezzanines that were designed to handle heavier-thanaverage storage loads. “The mezzanines were oversized for normal occupancy, so we decided to use the mezzanines to house the new mechanical systems, including two heavy air-handling units and a boiler,” said Pearn. Despite a slight added cost, “it was a good solution to use the mezzanines for this purpose, because the last thing you want to do is take up valuable floor space.” Repurposing the mezzanines involved reinforcing some walls and constructing a “The Voice of The Construction Industry®”
C O N S T R U C T I O N
new wall as well, according to Cirka whose construction team moved the mechanical units into place in pieces because of the tight confines of these now concealed mezzanine spaces. Solution IV: Taking the Foam Challenge The broad open expanse of the community space is a brightly colored take on an outdoor park. The indoor turf field turns a cold winter day in Michigan into perennial summer. 2|42 took the park theme a step further with the creation of a foam pit, a sixfoot deep, kidney-shaped indoor pool filled with large blue foam cylinders simulating water. Generous padding lining the pool and compacted foam near the bottom curtails the depth of the pool to about four feet. The foam pit, a rare feature seldom seen in an indoor playscape, is commonly used in gymnastics training. 2|42 and the project team even turned to gymnastics organizations to obtain standards for the safe design and construction of their own foam pit. “Even the building inspectors didn’t know where to go for codes,” said
CEI
Rauch. “We educated ourselves on the proper depth, the amount of foam, the compaction rate, and the amount of padding for the interior and the perimeter of the pool.” Adding to the challenge, this now popular “swimming hole” was an add-on midway through the project. Contracting Resources rose to the occasion and took the plunge into overseeing the pool excavation and creating the unique kidney shape versus a traditional square. “We removed five inches of existing concrete down to just dirt to excavate the opening for the foam pit,” said Cirka. Contracting Resources navigated several design changes to deliver a safe, durable, and fun feature for the kids of Ann Arbor. First, the pool’s poured foundation wall was switched to gunite, and the construction team “built the kidney shape in segments rather than continuously because of the thick padding,” said Barnard. Despite these Phase III challenges, the kidneyshaped pool now more closely resembles a natural pond in a park. Thanks to the team’s hard work, the
H I G H L I G H T
foam-filled pond has become a popular favorite of toddlers and young children. “I don’t think any kid that comes here doesn’t jump right in,” said Cirka. “It is the most popular feature, but the most difficult to build.” Some of the project team even “beta tested” the pool before the building’s grand opening. The new addition’s foam pit and playscape, as well as the turf field in the main community space, all have generous floor padding designed for child safety. The playscape alone has four inches of safety floor padding. According to Cirka, Contracting Resources oversaw the removal of approximately 25 percent of the existing concrete floor slab to accommodate the floor padding and to create a level floor throughout the community space. The entire concrete floor below the turf field was demolished and replaced with a recessed slab to accommodate the padding in this area. “We saw-cut six inches of concrete, and we poured back in a four-inch slab in multiple pours to create a new slab at a different elevation,” said

Solution V: Reclaimed and Innovative Materials The building’s sheer diversity of raw, reclaimed and innovative materials added to the complexity of the project. Rusticated metal panels and inset linear light fixtures create a memorable, twostory entry to the community space. “The metal is premeasured and comes in 4 x 8 sheets,” said Cirka. “Our installer field-measured everything and prepared a whole drawing to show the exact layout, including the location of the thermostat and the vertical light fixtures in the rusticated metal walls. He knew exactly how this assembly was going to go together before the panels even arrived on the site. There were some field modifications, but for the most part, it went in exactly as planned.” Rusticated metal sheets have a lead time of 14 to 16 weeks. The process involves spraying each sheet with a product to initiate rustication, followed by hanging and curing the metal sheets for a certain length of time prior to shipment. “There is a ton of diverse materials in the building, including materials like the rusticated metal panels that we’ve never used before, and I think many in the industry have never worked with,” said Cirka. In the able hands of the project team, a simple epoxied concrete floor in the worship and community spaces becomes an attractive canvas splashed with freeform black swirls on a whitish gray background. The skillful application of a three- to four-step process produces a floor with an industrial but polished presence. The first step is cleaning, and the second is rolling on a black epoxy over the entire floor, followed by a squeegee application of a white coating. “The white coating allows some of the black to come through to create the look,” said Cirka. “The last step is to shake on a sandy grit to create an anti-slip surface.” Reclaimed barn wood is another beautiful raw material gracing the walls of “The Voice of The Construction Industry®”
the exterior, the worship space, and several meeting rooms throughout the building. Not a plug-and-play product, the colors of reclaimed barn wood vary widely from plank to plank, and the wood itself “has to be kiln dried to bake the bugs out of it,” said Cirka. “You also have to make sure the barn wood’s moisture content is reduced to an acceptable level or it will shrink.” The lead time on barn wood can be 8 to 10 weeks, and in some cases, longer. “We wrote the specification based on a certain amount of barn wood, and we wanted a certain variation of board width,” said Pearn. “In some instances, there might not be a barn immediately available that fits a project’s parameters.” The barn wood in the worship space softens the industrial feel of the exposed roof deck and the epoxy concrete floor. All three materials are part of the identity of the other 2|42 campuses, a material identity established during the design and construction of the original Brighton campus. “We did add some new materials to the Ann Arbor campus, such as the rusticated metal,” said Rauch. Nothing is cookie cutter about the materials of either campus. Although the barn wood is from the same source in Montana, the barn wood in the Brighton and Ann Arbor facilities has a different palette. At the Ann Arbor 2/42, different color tones were selected for different spaces: The barn wood in the worship space is actually turned, meaning it displays the interior surface of the wood, giving the material a different texture and varied brown tones. Other rooms use the exterior-facing barn wood, adding a few red tones to the spaces. Other raw, custom touches include a column base formed of a large wood spool used to package industrial wire. Raw materials used in inspired ways are part of the magic of the building’s interior, along with bold graphics in virtually every space. “Almost all the materials were custom,” said Pearn. “We didn’t just pull a detail we have used before. We custom-designed almost everything, which made the project very rewarding.” The Nuts and Bolts of Redemption The nuts and bolts of the building’s metamorphosis involved structural, roofing repair and infrastructure alterations as well.

building was intact but did require some steel fortification to meet code, because the codes for worship spaces and light industrial buildings are different,” said Pearn. For the roof, Contracting Resources’ construction team “installed an EPDM roof on the addition, and we patched and re-seamed the existing standing seam roof,” added Cirka. Infrastructure-wise, the building has an entirely new electrical system and new electrical panels. Contracting Resources also installed a new water line to serve the fire suppression system. “The three buildings in this campus had interconnected systems,” said Barnas. “We had to separate from the fire alarm system and put in a new water line, because the water for the fire suppression came from the nearby water tower. The church made a very good decision to do so, because it helped alleviate flow problems for both fire suppression and domestic service.” Welcome to 2|42 The 2|42 Community Church celebrated its
62 CAM MAGAZINE JANUARY 2019
grand opening on December 2, 2017. Step into the light-filled community space designed as an indoor park. The turf field, the visually appealing blue-green wall graphics, the columns resembling abstract trees, and the natural light pouring into the space reinforce the sensation of being outdoors. Adding to the park-like feel, a reclaimed, slightly weather-beaten shipping container serves as the Snack Shack and “concession stand.” Hobbs + Black created a thoughtful subdivision of space in this indoor park, carving out specialty niches without blocking open sightlines from parents to children. For the café, a curvilinear screen, made of wood bars and metal pipes with open spaces in between, “creates a separation of space without obstructing the view of the rest of the open area,” said Pearn. Clearly, the project team successfully delivered 2|42’s entire wish list. “We wanted the spaces in the community center to be open and have lots of sunlight, along with being transparent,” said Rauch.
“For instance, the playscape’s half-wall allows parents to see into the area and prevents kids from traversing out of it unexpectedly.” While parents attend services in the worship auditorium, teens can flee to the Youth Area and young children can flock to the Kids’ Space. This Youth Area is a multipurpose space that can be used as a game room, a large auditorium for a band performance, or a worship service. For added space and flexibility, a re-invented loading dock door opens up to an outdoor patio and an indoor/outdoor fire pit. The renovated opening is one of three of the building’s six original loading docks. “We filled in and leveled out the originally sloped docks that were four feet lower than today,” said Pearn. “We changed out the garage doors and called for new glass entry doors to allow more light to penetrate into the building.” Parents check in their pre-school and elementary-age children into the Kids’ Space. In this child-friendly zone, the walls feature brightly painted streetscapes of Ann Arbor and Detroit, including references to Ann Arbor’s Michigan Stadium, Nickel’s Arcade, the Michigan Theater and downtown Detroit’s skyline. “Plain Joe’s Studio created the streetscape graphics with a Looney Tunes feel,” said Rauch. Fanciful, faux trees, composed of vertical wood pieces and large green soffits, soar toward the ceiling. “We host indoor camping nights, family weekends and other events in these spaces,” said Rauch. The Kids’ Space includes a kid’s ministry area and a game room, a space with the feel of a child’s version of an auto repair garage. “The Kids’ Space is used on weekends during worship services and on weekdays by home school groups and other types of organizations,” added Rauch. The future for 2|42 looks as bright as the bold, colorful graphics blanketing the walls of this completely transformed building. The church continued to grow during construction of the Ann Arbor campus. The 7,000-member strong 2|42 Community Church began development of a Lansing and a Saginaw campus; the one in Lansing already has a permanent facility while the Saginaw one is currently operating out of a temporary building. Hobbs + Black has created a master plan for the 2,500-member Ann Arbor church, calling for the potential construction of a second worship auditorium on the site’s “The Voice of The Construction Industry®”

hilltop. The acreage is already being put to use as an outdoor recreational space directly linked to the University of Michigan’s Saginaw Forest and its four-mile trail system. “We worked with the University to create a trail head into the Saginaw Forest from 2|42’s property,” said Rauch. “Local Eagle Scouts also built a pavilion for us to mark the entrance into the Saginaw Forest. It was a wonderful effort between us, the University, and the Eagle Scouts.” The arrangement, along with other 2|42 programs, shows the power of community in action. “We have the largest Alcoholic Anonymous group in the area, and there are several hundred people in our recovery classes,” said Rauch. “The facility hosts gatherings ranging from children’s birthday parties to business meetings as well. We hosted a large business gathering in August 2018 of several hundred business leaders. Thanks to 2|42, Hobbs + Black and Contracting Resources, a building built for the community is being strongly embraced
64 CAM MAGAZINE JANUARY 2019
by the community. “On snow days when kids are unexpectedly out of school, the community center draws several hundred people,” said Rauch. “Since our grand opening only 10 months ago, church attendance on the weekend has more than doubled and people are flocking to the building throughout the week.” The following trade contractors contributed their expertise to the project: • Asphalt Paving/Concrete Curbs – Nagle Paving, Novi • Asphalt/Repave – T & M Asphalt Paving, Inc., Milford • Carpet/Resilient – Continental Interiors, Troy • Demolition – Blue Star Demo, Inc., Warren • Demolition – DKI International, Inc., West Bloomfield • Doors/Frames/Hardware/Toilet Partitions – Stafford Building Products, Waterville, Ohio • Drywall/Rough Carpentry – DH Construction, Plymouth

The MULE Selected as the “2018 MIP Industry & Editor’s Choice” for Masonry Materials and Equipment The MULE (Material Unit Lift Enhancer) is a lift-assist device designed for handling and placing material weighing up to 135 lbs on a construction site. MULE attachments can be designed for any construction application, making it very versatile. MULE allows the material to feel weightless, reduces fatigue and injuries, and increases productivity. The MULE is designed to bring efficiency and comfort to a grueling work environment. It eliminates the fatigue and physical stressors associated with repetitive heavy lifting and allows for personalized adjustment of the primary controls for the benefit of each operator. Productivity increases have been reported. End users report gains of 200% to over 400%. Field tests have proven to
show that with the assistance of the MULE, masons can set up to and above four times the number of block. The percentage increases with the size and weight of the block. With the increased productivity, the cost per a block set significantly reduces. Lower costs = lower bid values = more jobs won = more profits. This allows masonry to compete more effectively against other building material options. The MULE also aids in increasing the labor force, allowing older, more experienced block layers to remain productive and healthy much longer into their career, while business owners maintain their most senior and knowledgeable employees. The MULE also enlists the interest of the younger generation into entering the industry by reducing the physical demands and inherent fatigue while utilizing the next evolution of technology. The MULE is efficient for use in constructing walls from the ground, scaffold or Mast Climbing Work Platforms. The standard base is 34” wide and capable of fitting through a standard door. With the use of the included stabilizing jacks and additional masts the MULE can free stand over 20’, taller with additional masts and wall ties.

P R O D U C T LATICRETE, a leading manufacturer of construction solutions for the building industry, has introduced SPARTACOTEⓇ Urethane Cement to provide commercial and industrial production facility managers with a durable, high-performance coating system that can withstand thermal shock, heavy traffic and harsh impact. With its simple, two-step installation process and enhanced workability, SPARTACOTE Urethane Cement gives coatings professionals a faster, easier installation. “SPARTACOTE Urethane Cement can be applied on new or existing concrete after mechanical profile to a CSP 4/5. Then, after mixing, the material can be placed using a cam rake, which exhibits this innovative product’s easy workability and self-leveling qualities,” LATICRETE Channel Manager Jeff Bonkiewicz states. As a high-performance flooring solution for demanding spaces, SPARTACOTE Urethane Cement is suitable for a widerange of environments, including those exposed to thermal shock, such as in commercial kitchens as well as food and

beverage production areas. Additionally, this thick mil coating system can withstand extreme abrasion and impact in spaces like heavy duty industrial facilities. Available in light grey, dark grey, red, green, black and tan, SPARTACOTE Urethane Cement is designed to be used in conjunction with SPARTACOTE topcoats for additional protection and UV stable properties. Due to its low VOC levels and worldwide demand, SPARTACOTE Urethane Cement ships globally with no restrictions. For more information, visit laticrete.com.
New ANSI-121-Compliant Retractable Tether Increases Safety and Convenience for Tools Up to 3.5 lbs Gear Keeper’s new ANSI-121-compliant, heavy-tool retractable tether’s low profile keeps tools weighing up to 3.5 lbs. close to the body when retracted, while still

allowing complete accessibility when needed. Workers do not have to dance around a long, dangling tether or drag their tools on the floor. This is particularly important when working in close quarters or climbing where a dangling tool can cause a serious tripping or falling accident. Engineered with user-ergonomics and safety in mind, the RT3-5605 personal tool tether maximizes productivity. The retractor mechanism’s low 7 oz. tension of the lanyard lets you use your tool like it wasn’t even attached to a tether. Safely avoiding interference with the work being

performed, the tension still remains strong enough to keep the tether’s line taut and out of the way. Also, when the tool is retracted, lanyard exposure is minimized to avoid snagging, especially when the tool is also placed in a tool bag/pouch. Designed to never impact use, the RT35605 heavy-tool tether has a generous reach, extending more than 4.5 feet. The tether’s durable, impact-absorbing nylon webbing does not require an additional shock-absorbing lanyard end. Tools are attached via a stainless steel, thumbcontrolled, locking-gate carabiner.

respectively, a 12.5 square foot working deck, along with side and end access doors. Both models have an optional end attach plate that is now available. The 1530S and 2230S models were designed for the user looking for a more cost-conscious model that does not need all the features found on the 2030E HD. Unlike the 2030E HD, the 1530S and 2230S do not offer side tilt, deck extension, or heavy frame construction. They also come standard with a single side attach plate but the end attach plate is available as an option if needed to allow for specific basket placement along a building. These design differences allow us to keep the weight and cost down while still offering a great product with all the benefits of a Skid-Lift: a safe working platform, the ability to work on uneven terrain, ease of use, simple setup and easy transportation. Additional features include hydraulic controls at the base and basket and hydraulic safety bypass at the base and basket. It works any of type of surface with adjustable legs as well as with most skid steers and tractors with auxiliary hydraulics. For more information, please visit http://www.skid-lift.com
Skid-Lift Named one of the Top 100 New Products of 2018 Skid-Lift is proud to announce that the Skid-Lift 1530S and 2230S models have been featured in the Top 100 New Products of 2018 issue published this month by Construction Equipment magazine. The 1530S and 2230S models allow customers to work safely up to 21'-28' feet in the air with a 15' and 22' platform height 70 CAM MAGAZINE JANUARY 2019

Southfield-based Plante Moran has been selected as third in the list of the Detroit Free Press’s Top Workplaces (large company category). Founded in 1924, the company is among the nation’s largest certified public accounting and business advisory firms. Clients from across the globe have come to rely on Plante Moran for a host of services covering taxes, audits, wealth management, business consulting and more. According to Plante Moran, the true secret behind the company’s enduring success may be best understood by a little golden rule that all Plante Moran staff members adhere to: “We Care.” “That means we care for our clients, staff and community,” said Terri Pollock, a group-managing partner for offices at Plante Moran and a member of a sevenperson management team, who explained that the rules are an extension of the “Golden Rule.” Through her work with Plante Moran, Pollock has an opportunity to help maintain the company’s culture, and in doing so, she leans heavily on the company’s long history. “Our founder Frank Moran was a philosophy major and for him the company was a grand experiment—a firm about the people based on values,” said Pollock, who also went on to explain Plante Moran’s “Wheel of Progress” philosophy, which believes that hiring and retaining the best talent will produce the best service to clients leading to success that continually rolls on for all involved. “The Voice of The Construction Industry®”
