ince being founded in 1957, the Greensboro Builders Association has existed to support builders and serve consumers by advancing ethical standards in the industry, advocating reasonable, consumer-focused building regulations, and by constantly introducing the latest in construction innovation and technology. This spring, I have had the opportunity to personally experience and participate with our ADVOCACY initiatives on the local, state and national level. Working in partnership with other members and organizations…we continue to build on our strength with a strong, unified voice. Our advocacy initiatives are both proactive - introducing new legislation as well as helping regulatory staff shape new ordinances…as well as defensive - working to provide acceptable “fixes” to problem legislation, as well as defeat unnecessary regulations that are without proven science and cost prohibitive. In April, TREBIC - our local government affairs arm - hosted the 2nd annual Stop Work Order event in which we recognized our local regulatory staff. It was a great opportunity to talk with city and county staff in a relaxed setting, with no agenda, simply to thank them for their service. In May, GBA members traveled to Raleigh to participate in NCHBA Legislative Day. We had meetings with our elected officials serving Guilford County…discussing important issues affecting members throughout the state. We focused on the needs to continue to clarify and fix the Sales Tax on Labor, minimizing the impact on renovation work as well as new construction. In June, we traveled to Washington, DC for NAHB’s Legislative Day on the Hill. We had the opportunity to meet with Congressmen Walker & Budd…as well as Senators Burr & Tillis. We shared our concerns with the growing overreach of regulatory bureaucracy and the need for reform and oversight in the law making process. Nationally on average, nearly 25% of the cost of building a new single-family home, almost $85,000 – is attributed to government regulation. Reasonable regulations are essential but they need greater transparency and greater public input. We need to reduce regulations that harm small business. We advocated for establishing a new secondary market system for conventional mortgages, as well as protecting tax incentives that promote homeownership and affordable rental housing. This includes continuing the availability of the 30 year fixed rate mortgage, as well as maintaining the mortgage interest deduction for home owners.

Scott Allred, Precept Construction, LLC Leslie Gunter, Gunter Custom Homes and Design, LLC John Hodgin, John Hodgin Construction Co., Inc.

We also addressed the softwood lumber needs and requested consideration of ways to increase the domestic supply of timber to meet current and growing demands.

Through all our advocacy initiatives, we are striving to ensure that housing remains a priority allowing all to have access to safe and affordable housing. It’s often hard to see as so much of this work is done behind the scenes…but I think that it’s critically important for you to know that your local, state and national associations are working on your behalf each and every day. Our industry remains focused on creating jobs…helping families…and building communities!

Construction Careers T

here is a continued growing need to increase skilled workforce – 20%+ growth needs in most all construction related fields – yet labor shortages remain a tremendous challenge for the construction industry throughout the country. Over the past several months…industry members have been working to explore ways to address labor shortages within our community. This has included meetings with organizations and educators to learn more about their current initiatives and ways GBA members might be engaged. Objectives: Promote Construction as a career path – building greater awareness of construction-related jobs and opportunities - strive to change negative perception & attitudes among students & parents Work in partnership with current programs and initiatives, engaging industry member participation to provide additional resources and support Assist in developing framework for students to find employment within the construction industry

Guilford Technical Community College

Industry members recently toured GTCC’s Wendover campus. We are currently working to develop and underwrite a scholarship program for students…and looking at potential mentoring / internship opportunities.

Construction Apprenticeship Program

Industry members have been working this past year to evaluate curriculum needs. A new course “Introduction to Craft Skills for Construction” will be introduced July 31 – November 20 at the GTCC Cameron campus.

Junior Achievement

We are exploring opportunities for our Young Professionals group to become involved in JA’s existing middle and high school initiatives…as well as the concept of developing a Construction Academy to be held next spring.

NC Skills USA

Guilford County Schools

Meetings have been held with High School Construction Trade instructors and Career Development Counselors to explore ways we can work together to encourage construction trades as a career path. Some suggestions have included sponsoring field trips for students to visit jobsites…as well as builders and trade contractors coming into the classroom to share information on career opportunities. Planning is currently underway to sponsor a Construction Careers Day in the fall during our Raising Roofs event. Weaver Academy students are currently building tiny houses. Opportunities are available to assist the carpentry and trade students throughout the construction phase at Weaver as well as other high schools throughout Guilford County.

Held each spring at the Greensboro Coliseum… GBA & NCHBA members assist with judging. We would like to encourage greater participation among Guilford County Schools by sponsoring students to participate.

Construction Job Listing Service

One of the more immediate action items we have discussed has been the development of an online job listing service on the GBA website. GBA members will be able to post openings for construction positions. Guilford County Schools and GTCC will promote the job board to their students. Our goal is to launch this page on the GBA website this fall. If you would like to join our Construction Careers…Workforce Development task force, which plans to meet quarterly, or have other suggestions to consider, contact Cheryl Collins at (336) 855-6255 or email ccollins@greensborobuilders.org.

Raising Roofs…Builders for Habitat October 28 – November 3

n 2003, we entered into a partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro to build 12 homes in one week...called Raising Roofs…Builders for Habitat. This initiative continues to be tremendously successful due to the generous contribution of Association members. To date through this every other year build, GBA members and their industry partners have constructed 55 homes…and we’re building more this year! In celebration of our 60th anniversary…we will be conducting a one-week build – October 28 – November 3 - with the goal of constructing 5 homes…bringing our total to date to 60 homes! From foundation to dedication in seven days…this week is an amazing opportunity for local businesses and members to get involved and support our community. Builder teams are currently being formed…with our initial team meeting scheduled for August 22 at 4 pm to get floor plans along with construction notebooks. We are working to secure donated building materials and labor to help offset our construction expenses. We also need hospitality and logistic sponsors. Anyone interested in participating or need additional information - please contact Raising Roofs chair John Hodgin at (336) 362-0163; Cheryl Collins at (336) 855-6255; or Mavis Holcombe at (336) 706-6942.
