A

s an association, we are here to serve our members, each one of you. We represent builders and remodelers; suppliers; trade contractors; and service providers. Our goal is to provide resources and opportunities that can help you grow your business from information and education…to networking and exposure.

Luckily we are seeing gradual signs of improvement in the building and remodeling industry due to rising consumer confidence, however the Triad region lags behind other metro areas in the state due to slower job growth. Edsel Charles, MarketGraphics Research Group tracks permits and closings in the Triad and provides a semi-annual update and forecast for our members. At our last meeting he advised that we will soon be facing a lot shortage in Guilford County. Edsel will be back with us on September 18 in conjunction with our annual Associates EXPO and I encourage you to attend. This will be a good event to gain industry knowledge as well as meet and talk with other industry members.

Being in the construction business is not getting any easier. We have and will continue to fight growth issues, as well as remain vulnerable to increased legislation and regulation that can severely hamper how we do business on the local, state and national level. I had the opportunity this spring to attend our state legislative conference and visit with many of our Guilford County elected officials. It was an enlightening experience and one that opens your eyes to the greater importance and need for a unified voice within our industry.

You don’t have to travel to Raleigh to participate…you can join us for our Pig, Poultry & Politics event sponsored by TREBIC on October 9. As we approach the November elections, it is important to know which candidates understand and are supportive of our industry’s needs. AND it is equally important as industry members that we make an annual, personal contribution to Build-PAC! Giving back to the community has always been important and something that our members readily do. This fall we are embarking on another ReBuilding Hope community service project with Community Housing Solutions. Personally, I can’t wait as I will be coordinating this project in my real job with CHS as well as working with our members to transform an older home in the Glenwood neighborhood. Everyone within our Association can participate in some way.

Watch for email and website updates and come join us!

As members, you are our most important asset. We need to increase and grow our membership base to increase our knowledge and industry network. We need builders recruiting trade contractors…we need suppliers and service providers recruiting builders. We all know at least one person/company who could benefit from being part of our Association.

We have numerous opportunities this fall to bring members together for education, information, networking, community service and more. Utilize the Association website to stay abreast of events and activities…and invite a prospective member to come with you. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Remodeling Adds Value & Comfort Why Remodel?

Housing market data reveals that small, smart remodels can reward home owners with a strong return on investment and can help update and customize a home to better meet their needs.

From a recent NAHB survey, below are the top five remodeling projects.

1. Remodel the bathroom

Payback on remodeling a bathroom can reach 65 percent with new fixtures, tile, toilet, vanity and lighting. Low flow toilets consume less water and can decrease the monthly water bill.

2. Remodel the kitchen

A

ccording to the National Association of Home Builders, Americans spent $116 billion on improvements to owneroccupied units in 2013, down from a peak of $146 billion in 2006.

NAHB’s remodeling forecast expects these expenditures to increase gradually as the broader housing market recovers. Beyond general recovery in the housing market, key factors driving increases in remodeling expenditures will include: • the aging housing stock • needed aging-in-place remodeling work • increasing interest in improving home efficiency and green remodeling

According to the 2009 HUD/Census American Housing Survey, below is a breakdown of households by age ranges that are contracting professional remodeling jobs.

• • • • •

Under the age of 35

Between the ages of 35 and 44 Between the ages of 45 and 54 Between the age of 55 and 64 65 or older

3. Replace windows and doors

Updating windows can also return a solid portion of the investment (estimated at 73% for wood frames and 71% for vinyl). New, energy-efficient doors and windows also help reduce energy leakage from the home and can bring down heating and cooling bills.

4. Repair property damage

Property damage is a common but unfortunate occurrence.

Homeowners are encouraged to seize misfortune as an opportunity to customize and upgrade the home. It is important for home owners to take time to plan and incorporate home remodeling that may have been put off in the past.

5. Whole house remodeling

Who Remodels?

A minor kitchen remodel can improve the look and utility of the space without costing a bundle, and yields a 75 percent return. Replacing backsplashes, cabinet fronts, countertops, and flooring are initial considerations for many homeowners.

Installing low-flow faucets and energyefficient appliances can also reduce water and energy expenses.

11 % 22 % 24 % 23 % 20 %

Repairs and replacements of old components and the desire for upgraded amenities were cited as the top reasons for customers to hire a professional remodeler for a complete home renovation.

Working with a licensed contractor, home owners can evaluate the entire home to see how its design and use fit their needs. Repurposing spaces while making more efficient use of their home’s square footage and equity can be very beneficial to current and future home owners.

Looking for additional information on remodeling…plan to attend one of our upcoming Remodelers Council meetings. Council meetings provide members a great opportunity for both education and networking. You can also find numerous remodeling resources on the NAHB website at www.nahb.org/remodel.

ReBuilding Hope In 2011, we formed a partnership with Housing Greensboro, today know as Community Housing Solutions, to conduct home repairs and renovations that we refer to as ReBuilding Hope. To date, more than 10 homes have been renovated to ensure homes are warmer, safer and drier for those in need in our community.

This fall we will be embarking on another ReBuilding Hope as we do a complete home renovation located in the Glenwood neighborhood. The home has been gutted this month with lead abatement completed and is now ready for construction to begin.

Between August and October, there will be numerous opportunities for members to get involved and help…from donating materials and labor to providing lunch for work crews. Please consider volunteering for a day.

Not only are you giving back to the community, you have the chance to meet and work side-by-side with other industry members. Watch for updates on the GBA website and in Member News emails, as well as our Facebook page.

Triad Sales & Marketing Council Re-Launches Michelle Amador, TSMC Chair

T

he Triad Sales and Marketing Council (TSMC) kicked off its 2014 season with two headline events. The energy, enthusiasm and support have been overwhelming! Our focus has been to “re-launch” our regional Sales & Marketing Council bringing the sales and marketing community together to better serve the home building industry.

We’ve heard from builders, sales associates - old and new, affiliates, and sponsors that are excited to participate and feel the content of our meetings has been very educational and worthwhile.

We held our initial kick off meeting on May 28 with Edsel Charles, MarketGraphics Research Group as our keynote speaker. More than 80 on-site agents, Realtors, builders and associate members attended. Edsel geared his message toward sales and marketing, along with economic news and regional housing update and forecast.

In June we had another great crowd to hear national speaker Meredith Oliver, founder and president of Creating WOW Communications – a web marketing and sales training firm based in Raleigh, provide a presentation on FANatical Follow-Up: Convert More Prospects to Purchasers. Her entertaining style addressed the crowd on techniques and tips for sales follow-up as well as internet leads. Meredith stressed that six follow-ups will 90% of the time lead to sales. She also shared insight into the millennial buyer and how to get their attention in today’s market environment.

Membership in the Triad Sales & Marketing Council is open to all HBA members in the Triad including members of neighboring associations in Alamance and Forsyth counties.

Annual dues are $75 which provides both local and national SMC membership. Applications can be found on the GBA website or call the GBA office at (336) 855-6255.

Special thanks to Eric Apple and team with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage who sponsored our kickoff events in May & June.

As a result of these kickoff events, we have grown our membership and expanded our planning team for the council. The Council plans to place emphasis in four general areas: Information, Education, Networking and Recognition throughout the year.

Planning is currently underway for the remainder of this year looking to conduct the following events:

At Hanson, we don’t simply make brick. We make it possible for a house to become a home, a school to become grounds for inspiration, and a community to truly come alive. And with the ability to be recycled, re-used and re-purposed, brick is the ultimate sustainable building product. Explore our extensive selection of colors, textures and finishes and you’ll understand that the real reason we make brick is to make visions come to life.
