BIA GOLF CLASSIC After a one week rain delay, the 33rd Annual BIA Golf Classic presented by 84 Lumber was held on Wednesday, May 23, at the Fort Jackson Golf Club. The annual tournament raises funds for the Building Industry Charitable Foundation and supports their scholarship program and other charitable donations throughout the year.

Over 280 golfers took to the links and were joined by an additional 200 sponsor volunteers for a great day of golf and networking. The tournament was held on two 18hole courses and features a variety of “wacky games” and extra contests with a long-ball drive professional and an air rifle shot contest. Hole sponsors pulled out all the stops and presented golfers with various giveaways, food and beverages as they made their way around both courses.

Big thanks to the members who volunteered on the Golf Classic Committee, to the many sponsors who helped make it such a fun day and to the volunteers who helped set-up, check-in and tear-down all day long.

Committee Members: Chandler Coggeshall – Co-Chairman, Mike Satterfield – Co-Chairman, Ron Byers, Ed Byrd, Scott Fincannon, Jacob Hester, Matt Hogan, Richard Hitchler, Matt Hogan, Brandon Jeffcoat, David Rumsey, Claudia Satterfield, Vicky Smith and Bruce Stanley.

HBA OF SC STATE CONVENTION The Home Builders Association of SC on July 13 – 15 held the annual State Convention in Savannah, GA. Members from around the state convened on the Hostess City of the South for three days of networking, learning and awards. The BIA of Central SC had a very nice representation at the event and members of our association were honored with some very special awards.

SC Housing Hall of Fame

The South Carolina Housing Hall of Fame trustees inducted Michael P. Nieri from Columbia, S.C. and J. Coleman Shouse from Greenville, S.C. into the prestigious honor society last week for their work in and support of South Carolina’s home building industry. Both men were presented the trademark medallion and plaque during a ceremony on July 14th at The DeSoto Savannah in Savannah, GA. “The South Carolina Housing Hall of Fame trustees have unanimously voted that Michael Nieri and Coleman Shouse will join the ranks and be inducted into the prestigious honor society for their work in and support of South Carolina’s home building industry tonight” said Kenneth E. Ormand Jr., Chairman of the S.C. Housing Hall of Fame Trustees.

Michael P. Nieri, owner and founder of Great Southern Homes is an incredible champion of housing and has had a profound effect on the housing industry. Building beautiful homes and communities for South Carolinians, Nieri has gone above and beyond with his efforts with the Building Industry Association of Central SC, but is most widely recognized for his philanthropic efforts as the President of the Building Industry Charitable Foundation.

In presenting Nieri, Earl McLeod, Executive Director of the Building Industry Association of Central South Carolina applauded Michael Nieri, his family and employees for not only building good homes but their commitment to Building a Better Community.

AssociationNews

J. Coleman Shouse has led an incredible career in both the public sector, sales arena, and development sector. His amazing work ethic, integrity, and industry activism are demonstrated throughout his professional career and commitment to public service. Shouse’s dedication has impacted affordable housing and those who make a career in the industry today.

“We couldn’t have asked for better nominees than Michael and Coleman because of their unwavering efforts to protect the home building industry and the American dream of homeownership,” said Ormand. “The South Carolina home building industry has been fortunate to have these champions working for the benefit of our citizens.”

The Pinnacle Awards

The Pinnacle Awards are the HBA of SC’s most prestigious awards and home building industry professionals from the BIA of Central SC were honored with them at the State Convention. The 2018 Celebration of Excellence Awards Ceremony was held to honor the craftsmanship of the best home building and remodelers in the Palmetto State. Approximately 27 Pinnacle Awards were given in four categories – new homes, remodel projects, green building, and sales & marketing.

Mike Satterfield, CEO/EVP of Great Southern Homes was honored with Thomas N. Bagnal Builder Member of the Year Award of the HBA of SC. The annual recognition honors those individuals who demonstrate the same qualities as the awards namesake, Thomas N. Bagnal including tireless service to their community, the Home Builders Association (HBA)

HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDING COUNCIL

AssociationNews

The High Performance Building Council (HPBC) was formed in 2007 by members of the Building Industry Association of Central SC (BIA) who were interested in learning more about sustainable residential construction and who had green products and services available in the marketplace.

CHiP Home Program awarded by HBA of SC

The Certified High Performance (CHiP) Home Program was recognized with a 2018 Association Celebration of Excellence (ACE) Award for Best Non-Dues Revenue Program by the Home Builders Association of South Carolina (HBA of SC). The award was given during the HBA of SC State Convention this July in Savannah, GA. The six-year-old program is overseen by the High Performance Building Council (HPBC) Executive Committee. It has certified over 4,700 homes and raised over $100,000 in that time. The program continues to offer a first-class certification option to home builders at the fraction of the cost of other, similar programs.

Thanks to all of the HBPC Executive Committee Members who built and maintain the program, and to our builder partners for their continued support. Learn more about the CHiP Home Program at www.CHiPHomeProgram.com or contact Bin Wilcenski at the BIA Office.
