GREENSBORO BUILDERS ASSOCIATION - BUILDER UPDATE
I
t’s hard to believe we are already in the third quarter of the year! I hope everyone is having a great summer and taking a little time off to spend with family and friends.
As we wrap up the first half of the year, I would like to extend appreciation to the NC Home Builders Association for a successful legislative session. They worked tirelessly on our behalf to advance bills that impact our members including building code regulatory reform; sales tax on labor amendments; clarify system development fees; along with addressing several other regulatory issues...defending housing affordability. I would also like to thank all our members who volunteered immediately following April’s tornado in east Greensboro to assist with initial cleanup efforts as well as donating supplies. As part of our annual community service project this year with Community Housing Solutions, we will be assisting in repairs to owner-occupied homes that were damaged. Even though it’s summer, our Association doesn’t seem to have very much down time as we go from one major event to another. Things are gearing up for our upcoming Tour of Remodeled Homes to be held Saturday & Sunday, August 4-5. This is a great chance for us to showcase professional remodeling to area consumers…promoting the importance and value of using professional, licensed general contractors. Entry deadline is fast approaching for our Fall Parade of Homes to be held October 13-14 & 20-21. Builders, Realtors & Developers…take advantage of this opportunity to promote your new homes and neighborhoods. Construction does not have to be complete however homes must be safe for entry to be open during the weekends of the Parade. As we move into the fall…we have several upcoming membership meetings and events. I would like to encourage you to plan to attend some of these…as well as invite guests / prospective members to attend with you. It’s a great way to expand your network and business contacts among industry members. In September, we have our next New Members After Hours on Tuesday, September 18 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm…this is a great chance to welcome new and prospective members as well as meet long-time members. Edsel Charles, MarketGraphics Research Group will be presenting a Triad Housing Market Forecast on Thursday, September 20 from 8:30 – 10:00 am which is always well attended and informative. Our Fall Golf Tournament will be held at Grandover on Thursday, September 27. You can find a list of all upcoming events this fall on page 14 as well as our website. We hope that you find somewhere to get involved and connect with other Association members this year…whether it be attending a membership event…working with us on tornado relief efforts…or joining one of our planning teams focused on advancing Association priorities and goals such as our Workforce Development/Construction Careers committee.

Licensing Board Updates Special thanks to Frank Wiesner, Executive Director for the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors, who joined us in June to share updates from the Licensing Board along with our host, BMC for providing lunch.
NEW for 2019 License Renewals: Licensees and qualifiers need to set up your ONLINE account before October to renew your contractor’s license at www.NCCLiC.org. There is also a NEW mobile app – NCLBGC License Search – you can download to your phone at no charge. Some of the information Wiesner shared included the importance of conducting all business in the exact name in which a person, firm, corporation, limited liability company or partnership is licensed. If you are using an assumed name, you need to file for a Certificate of Assumed Name with the Register of Deeds and send a copy of the recorded document to the Licensing Board so your license record can be amended to reflect the assumed name. New this year, license numbers are to be included on all contracts, advertisements and licensee websites. You can find additional information and updates in the upcoming NCLBGC newsletter. If you were unable to attend this Builder Council meeting and would like a copy of the presentation, email Cheryl Collins at ccollins@greensborobuilders.org.

We had more than 25 industry exhibitors providing hands on construction activities including laying brick, installing hardwood floor, welding, working with tile, hammering a nail, working on a circuit, learning about 3D planning, etc. Guilford County Schools was extremely pleased with the event, asking Junior Achievement to incorporate the Construction Academy into their annual Discover Your WoW (World of Work) event for ALL Guilford County 8th grade students to be held the week of November 5-8 at the Greensboro Coliseum. Our Construction Careers committee will be working with Junior Achievement as part of the planning team for the Construction Academy.
