2019 HOME & GARDEN SHOW The 53rd Carolina Classic Home & Garden Show was held March 8–10, 2019 at the SC State Fairgrounds. The show featured over 200 exhibitors and vendors and drew about 8,000 attendees.

In addition to the many exhibits, the show featured a 55+ Free Friday & Expo, Big Construction Trucks, two Tiny Homes, Deputies from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department featured on “Live PD” and other local first responders, a food court, home and garden seminars, kid’s activities with the West Columbia Jaycee’s and over $30,000 in prizes from exhibitors. Needless to say, it was quite a show.

The show looked fantastic and reports from exhibitors and attendees are positive. We’d like to thank the many members, exhibitors and volunteers and sponsors who helped to make the show happen, and we are looking forward to the 54th Carolina Classic Home & Garden Show March 13–15, 2020.

ADVOCACY EVENTS One of the most important ways this association benefits the membership is political and legislative action. The BIA of Central SC is actively involved with local, state and national elected officials when it comes to matters involving the building and construction industry.

In addition to our efforts, it is of utmost importance that members get involved and speak with their elected officials about industry issues whenever possible. This can be a daunting task, but we offer events that make this as easy as possible. In March and April, we held and participated in a three events to help members communicate with elected officials on all three levels of government.

HBA

The day, officia oppo guests Dur Attorn

BIA Day at the Capitol First, members of the BIA of Central SC went to the SC State Capitol on Wednesday, March 27 to speak with state legislators one-on-one. Members first received an issues briefing from the HBA of SC. We were pleased to have Sen. Dick Harpootlian as a guest speaker at this briefing.

After the briefing, members went to the state house and met with their elected officials, talked about important issues facing our industry and invited them to the upcoming Bird Supper.

After meeting with their representatives, members reconvened for lunch at the Capital City Club where Rep. Murrell Smith, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee was the guest speaker. Special thanks to Harvey & Vallini Attorneys for sponsoring this event.

HBA of SC Bird Supper The HBA of South Carolina hosted the 48th annual Bird Supper on Wednesday, April 3 at SC State Museum in Columbia, SC. The event honors elected officials in the SC Legislature and gives members from across the state a good opportunity to speak with them in a relaxed atmosphere. Over 300 members and guests were in attendance.

During the event, the HBA of SC presented the Hammer & Trowel Award to SC Attorney General Alan Wilson.

Builder/REALTOR® Fish Fry And finally, the Builder/REALTOR Fish Fry held Thursday, April 11 at Pine Island on Lake Murray. This event was held in conjunction with the Central Carolina Realtors™ Association and was held in honor of local public officials. Invitations were sent to members of Lexington and Richland County Councils and officials representing many other area towns and municipalities, including code officials.

Attendees enjoyed food and beverages, beautiful views of the lake from Pine Island and live music from Prettier Than Matt.

CENTENNIAL PARK FORT JACKSON Construction on the Pavilions at Centennial Park is complete! With the cooperation of the Building Industry Association of Central South Carolina and their trade partners, the project has wrapped and a ribbon cutting was held on May 21st following the BIA General Membership meeting at Victory Hall.

The Pavilions are part of the celebration of Fort Jackson’s 100 year anniversary. The Building Industry Association of Central South Carolina, (BIA) is gifting six pavilions to the Fort’s new Centennial Park.

This project partnership with the Building Industry Charitable Foundation will provide meeting places for the thousands of graduating trainees and their families who gather at the Fort almost every week.

Graduations take place 47 out of 52 weeks a year at Fort Jackson without much space for celebrations and reunions to occur. BIA members Great Southern Homes, Mungo Homes, Essex Homes, Hood Construction and Covert Homes agreed to solve this problem with the construction of six covered pavilions. The five builders will partner with industry associates to provide the pavilions free of cost.

TOUR OF HOMES

AssociationNews

Columbia’s Largest Open House of New Homes is the 2019 TOUR OF HOMES held over three weekends in June from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. The annual scattered-site showing will showcase New Home Communities and new homes for your inspection.

The TOUR OF HOMES gives the public the opportunity to see the best new home communities and homes in every price range. Columbia’s finest builders and developers will show you their innovative ideas, special design features, dynamic floor plans and fine craftsmanship.

Home #1 on the Tour is the Showcase Home by Executive Construction Homes located in Northwoods Villas, a brand new, gated neighborhood in the Woodcreek Farms Community. The Sawgrass I floorplan is located at 309 Chip in Lane, Elgin and displays today’s luxury features in new homes. Featuring 2050 square feet, the Sawgrass I plan gives today’s buyer all the desired rooms on one level. Featuring three bedrooms on the main level as well as an office or flex room, The Sawgrass I demonstrates the desired “open concept” that new home-buyers crave.

With a large gourmet kitchen, walk in pantry and large island, home-owners can still be part of family room activities even when cooking or dining. Using today’s advances in building technology and products, this new home has been built with energy efficiency in mind! The Showcase Home is a Certified High Performance Home (CHiP) and also a Universal Living Certified New Home.

As you tour the lovely neighborhoods and homes, remember that a new home is still one of the soundest investments you can make. Interest rates are still among the lowest they’ve been in the last 25 years, so now is one of the best times to buy a new home.

Perhaps one of the homes or communities you see will be the one that is perfect for your family.

The TOUR OF HOMES is now on Facebook! Like the event page by visiting www.

Facebook.com/TourOfHomesColumbia.

Plan books featuring all of the homes and Featured Communities on the TOUR will be available for free at all Columbia area Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage locations, Re/Max Summit in Sumter, at all of the Featured Communities, specially-marked Free Times racks throughout Columbia, and in digital format on our website. Once you get the book, plan your route and go see some new homes. Get more information at www.

REMODELERS COUNCIL Remembering our Roots

The BIA Remodelers Council held a special Home Coming Meeting on April 23 at Seawell’s. Past Chairmen of the council were invited to the meeting in addition to current members. Nineteen past Chairmen from the council’s first years to present were in attendance at the meeting. We enjoyed hearing of their experiences with the council and association during the meeting.

Thanks to Southeastern Insurance Consultants (SIC) for sponsoring the Remodelers Jackpot. All remodelers in attendance (members and non-members) were entered into the drawing for $100. The winner was current Remodelers Council Chairman, Tim Kehoe.

River’s Edge Retreat Service Project Members of the Remodelers Council have been volunteering their time and expertise to help improve a local camp for underprivileged children, River’s Edge Retreat. The camp was preparing for the 2019 camp season and needed some help with the kitchen.

Members Pete Williams and Chuck Grimsley installed the new kitchen cabinets in the space.

Members Jeremy “Shreck” Sheckell, Scott Heron and Charles Foster removed the existing tile floor and put down a new floor.

HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDING COUNCIL 5500+ Homes Certified

The High Performance Building Council of the Building Industry Association of Central SC (BIA) certified the 5500th home in their locally operated Certified High Performance (CHiP) Home Program earlier this year. The program began certifying homes in 2012.

“We are lucky to have knowledgeable and passionate builders when it comes to building science and high performance homes,” said High Performance Building Council Chairman, Trevor Michael. “Couple that with the strength and versatility of the National Green Building Standard™ and you’ve got a recipe for success.”

The CHiP Home Program is a new home certification program based on the National Green Building Standard™ (ICC 700-2012), an ANSI-approved program developed by industry professionals from across the nation. The program is run locally through the BIA High Performance Building Council. Homes must receive a HERS Index Rating by an independent, third-party rater and meet minimums in the NGBS™ as certified by third-party verifiers.

All of the 5000+ CHiP Homes have reached prescribed thresholds in Resource Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Indoor Air Quality and in Homeowner Education, Operation and Maintenance, meaning that these homes produced less waste during construction and use less resources to operate than do homes that are simply built to code.

“CHiP Homes are built to be more comfortable and healthier for the inhabitants,” Michael continued, “with the added bonus of costing less to operate than traditional homes.”

CHiP Homes can be built by any home builder. Builder Partners in the program include Epic Homes, LLC, Essex Homes, SE, Great Southern Homes, and Southern Traditional Homes.

For more information on the BIA High Performance Building Council or the CHiP Home Program, please see our website at http://www.CHiPHomeProgram.com or contact Bin Wilcenski with the BIA of Central SC at (803) 256-6238.

Welcome Southern Traditional Homes to the CHiP Home Program

16 www.BIAofCentralSC.com

We mentioned it above, but we want to thank the team at Southern Traditional Homes for their decision to build all of their homes to the CHiP Home Program. Their first 11 homes were recently certified in the program and we look forward to many years of working with this company.

THE COOLEST HOUSES ARE BUILT WITH

As temperatures and cooling costs soar, the new frontier in house construction is increasing energy efficiency. Solarbord uses heat-reflecting foil laminated to OSB to stop up to 97% of the sun’s radiant energy. That can mean attics are up to 30˚F cooler, which translates into cooler houses and lower energy costs.

With a cooler attic, the ductwork stays cooler and creates a more efficient HVAC operation, reduces HVAC cycles and lengthens the lifespan of your equipment.
