LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

AssociationNews

My fellow BIA members: We are Building Strong. The Building Industry Association of Central South Carolina is in a great place right now and we need your continued membership and support. Invite your friends to join us as we continue to become even bigger, better, stronger and more meaningful to our fellow South Carolinians and generations to come. Use this Directory.

Support our members. Let’s grow our friendships and BIA of Central SC Membership together!

Following the devastation of the flood of 2015, we were able to show how our industry comes together to give back and support our community, and we’re continuing to do so into 2017. Through our various efforts, including Workforce Development, educational offerings, the Charitable Foundation, and legislative initiatives on the local, state and national levels, we continue to lift up our ever-growing industry and support the next generation of successful residential and commercial builders and tradespeople. We plan to continue and expand on these efforts as we move forward.

Your membership is designed with you in mind. Members get more quality referrals, long-lasting business relationships, and accurate industry information through the BIA than any other association in South Carolina. There is a reason we are competent, effective and the largest area building association in SC… and it’s all because of YOU! Get involved, stay involved, get others involved and let’s have a great time doing it!

M.L. “Bart” Bartlett, Jr. 2017 President, BIA of Central SC

Frank Mitchell of Orion Construction was named Commercial Contractor of the Year. Frank started Orion Construction Co. in 1985 to handle renovation and repair jobs. Over the years, the company transitioned into government contracts, residential construction and then, in 2011, to light commercial construction.

Frank joined the association in 2007, served on the BIA Board of Directors in 2014 and 2015, and continues to be an active member of the association and the BIA Commercial Council.

The BIA Corporate Member of the Year is Mungo Homes. This award was created to recognize an outstanding member company of the association. This award takes into account a company’s contributions on the whole toward the betterment of our association, including financial support, use of company resources and representation of the association in an outstanding manner.

Currently ranked the 37th largest builder in the country by Builder magazine, the Mungo family started building new homes in Columbia, South Carolina in 1954. Principals, Steven and Stewart Mungo, recognize their role as community leaders and are honored to participate on many civic boards and philanthropic committees.

Employees are also encouraged to get involved, and they do, including three past presidents of the Association.

Many serve on boards and committees supporting education, healthcare, non-profit and civic organizations, the arts, and, of course, the home building industry. Many are either officers in their churches or teach Sunday school.

On a corporate level, Mungo Homes supports The National Kidney Foundation, South Carolina National Guard, Oliver Gospel Mission, EdVenture Children’s Museum, Columbia Museum of Art, Harvest Hope Food Bank, Keep America Beautiful, Pawmetto Lifeline, Wofford College, the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina and many, many other organizations. To commemorate the company’s 60th anniversary in 2014, the Community Builder Award was established in partnership with WIS-TV to recognize unsung “heroes” in our community who give their time and talents to help others.

High Performance Building Council

HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDING COUNCIL The High Performance Building Council (HPBC) was formed in 2007 by members interested in learning more about building “green” or high-performance homes. Comprised of builder, remodelers and associate members, the council meets regularly to learn about new products and techniques in this line of construction.

The HBPC is also the certifying body of the Certified High Performance (CHiP) Home Program. The program is based on the National Green Building Standard™ and uses third-party raters and verifiers. The program began in 2012 and we will soon reach the 3,000-certification mark. Learn more about the program and how you can get started building CHiP Homes at www.CHiPHomeProgram.com or contact the BIA staff.

Council Meeting Recap The High Performance Building Council met on September 15 for a discussion about Residential Solar Energy. We had speakers from the Mid-Carolina Electric Coop, Solarize SC, and our sponsor, Southern Current. Thanks to all of our speakers, our sponsor and the members who attended the meeting.

The council met again in early November for a talk about various types of residential insulation. Michael Peaden of DOW Chemical spoke to us about slab insulation, crawlspace insulation and continuous exterior insulation. Our meeting sponsor, Icynene, spoke to us about their spray foam products and its various applications.
