President’s Message Ford Matthews 2020 GBA President

W

hat a year this has been…something none of us have ever experienced in our lifetime or could have imagined. To say it has been a roller coaster of a year is an understatement. The unknowns and challenges we still face from this pandemic are staggering. However, our industry has shown its resilience and commitment to providing services for our customers and clients. We are all adapting and finding ways to continue to work while keeping everyone as safe as possible.

2020 Board of Directors Executive Committee / Officers PRESIDENT

Ford Matthews, FM Contracting, LLC

1ST VICE PRESIDENT Will Yearns, Granville Homes, LLC

2ND VICE PRESIDENT

Susan Mowery, Building Dimensions, Inc.

Our Association has adapted as well. So many of the benefits of our membership are behindthe-scenes anyway…and those services have continued throughout this year…actually in many ways have increased if you think about the ongoing advocacy and lobbying efforts to keep our industry deemed an essential service. Our dues have paid for themselves ten-fold for that alone. In several states, construction was shut down completely. We may still be facing challenges in the coming months, which is more reason to remain vigilant in keeping our jobsites, employees and customers safe.

ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT

Just imagine what the past nine months would have looked like for your business if you had to close your doors. As we go into this holiday season, I encourage you to support local small businesses in our community that have struggled to keep their doors open.

Joan Swift, SwiftCreek Construction and Real Estate Services, LLC

I want to applaud the efforts of our committees, Board of Directors and staff for their commitment to finding new and creative ways to serve our members. From adding virtual tours for our Parade of Homes and Tour of Remodeled Homes…to social distancing with our golf and skeet tournaments…to providing virtual educational programs including our recent Housing Forecast and CE classes…we have found ways to adapt. We miss having our traditional marketing, face-to-face events…however the safety of our members, your families and employees takes precedent. In this issue, you will find a new and different Associate Expo…given we couldn’t host this annual event in-person or as an outside gathering…we are bringing it to you in a new format. Our Association greatly values the support we receive from our suppliers, trade contractors and service providers. Please take a few extra minutes and visit this special section to learn more about these members…and call them to discuss services they can provide for your company and/or clients. As we close out 2020…I want to give a special thanks to Tom Hall and Scott Allred, past presidents of our Association and chairs of our Membership Team, for their leadership in our recent membership drive. We welcome all the new members who have joined and appreciate your commitment to support our industry, along with all members who have renewed this year. We look forward to when we can meet in person, but until then, don’t hesitate to reach out to any of us for ways to engage and connect with other members.

GREENSBORO BUILDERS ASSOCIATION - BUILDER UPDATE

Your Membership At Work Advocacy

A

We just completed a membership campaign this past month and welcome all our new members who have joined. We appreciate your commitment to support our industry. We are stronger working together to address industry issues and the unknowns that we continue to face. In reflecting on the benefits of membership, several members have shared what they value and appreciate from their GBA membership. We encourage you share with us what is important to you and what you would like to see our Association provide. As we move into the new year, we are looking for new ways to engage, connect and serve each of you…and encourage your participation. 4

GREENSBORO BUILDERS ASSOCIATION - BUILDER UPDATE

Workforce Development

One of the greatest challenges for our industry is the shortage of labor. As an association, we are focusing our efforts on encouraging students and others to explore opportunities in construction. Our Construction Careers committee is working to develop on-the-job learning opportunities. We encourage you to join our efforts. We need members in the classroom talking with students as well as providing mentoring and onsite learning. - Will Yearns, Granville Homes

Do Business with Members

As a company, we believe in the value of doing business with others that support our Association and strive to work with suppliers and trade contractors that are members. We are honored to have been recognized for many years with the Lewis Award for our efforts in using Association members in the construction of our homes. When looking for a new supplier or subcontractor, we start with the GBA membership directory as well as ask other members who they recommend.

As an association, we have worked to adapt to these same challenges as well. Things have been different…we haven’t been able to have normal face-to-face interactions…and yes, we are all on “Zoom” overload. However, our membership continues to work for us…through our lobbying efforts, education, virtual meetings and home tours.

-Scott Allred, Precept Construction

s we reflect on this year and the challenges we have all faced as individuals, families, employees, employers, small business owners…we find ourselves, nine months later, without answers to when and what a new normal may look like. As an industry, we know that we have been extremely fortunate to remain “essential” and continue to work amidst all the challenges this pandemic has brought. Home sales and renovations have remained strong…everyone has adapted with safety protocols and guidelines to keep employees and clients safe.

We have continued to work this year – classified as an essential business – as a direct result of the lobbying efforts of our local, state and national associations. Imagine for a moment what your business would look like today if residential construction had been totally shut down, as it was in several states. One of the greatest benefits our membership provides is having a strong lobbying effort and a collective voice that consistently advocates on our behalf.

- Kathy & Rich Dumas, R&K Custom Homes


Home Tours

Marketing

Our business has grown over the years by participating in the Parade of Homes and Tour of Remodeled Homes. These events provide us with a great opportunity to showcase our new custom-built homes as well as our professional renovations. Not only do they bring us new clients each year...they have helped us build name recognition and credibility for our company. The addition of virtual tours has been an added benefit for consumers and us providing an online presence throughout the year. These home tours are an integral part of our annual marketing plan. We have loved partnering with and will continue to partner with the Greensboro Builders Association for years to come.

As a new member, it was important for us to market our business services to builders and remodelers. We have found that sponsoring events, such as the golf tournament, have allowed us to meet many members face to face…especially this year when indoor events have not been feasible. Members like to do business with people they know, along with ones who actively support our Association. We look forward to when we can all be back together for networking events this coming year.

- David Flanders, Builders MD

Community Service

- Cathi Roberts, Convergence

Being a member has helped us stay abreast of business and industry issues through education programs offered by both the Remodeler and Builder Councils, as well as industry resources provided by NAHB. Having the ability to take national designation courses locally, as well as providing Continuing Education classes for general contractor license renewal, are additional benefits of our membership.

I value the commitment our Association members have to giving back to our community, especially with a focus on affordable housing, through partnerships formed with Habitat Greensboro & Community Housing Solutions. There is a unique energy when a larger group comes together working side by side. Not only do we make a difference for someone in need...we benefit more from the experience ourselves. Over the years, I have made some valuable friendships with other industry members that I might now have known otherwise.

- Ed Butler, Brickwood Builders

- Joan Swift, SwiftCreek Construction & Real Estate Services

Education

Supporting Our Industry

I value the efforts and industry resources made available for us as GBA members. During the onset of COVID-19…the email updates, webinars and industry resources, such as the safety posters and guidelines, were extremely helpful…saving me the time of researching what we needed to do to keep our business open and our employees safe.

- Lauren Buchanan, Central Carolina Concrete

Why am I a member? I have participated over the years in several of the Association’s activities and had the opportunity to serve in various leadership roles. But at the end of the day, I am a member because “It’s the Right Thing to Do.” We should all support our industry and the associations that support our livelihood. There is tremendous value in just belonging even if you never get involved. The collective work behind the scenes benefits us all. - Tom Hall, Windsor Homes

ReBuilding Hope ReBuilding Hope, our community service project with Community Housing Solutions, kicks off this month as we will be helping with the construction of a new home between December and April. The house is a one story, 1400 square feet, three bedroom and two bath home, located at 1701 Eastwood Avenue. Material and skilled labor donations and/or discounts are greatly appreciated to help in the construction of this home. Several members have already signed up to participate in various ways…from site preparation to providing windows, exterior doors, cabinets and countertops. Community Housing Solutions will be involving GTCC students in various aspects of the construction, including framing the house. This is a great way for our members to get involved in both our community service and construction career initiatives…working alongside students on the jobsite.

The scope of repairs may include but is not limited to roofs, plumbing, flooring, energy efficiency, accessibility modifications, electrical hazards, and code violations.

The Parade is a win-win for everyone involved…builders, associates, and consumers. Parade homes can be specs and/or pre-sales. Builder participation helps promote your company and provides an opportunity to meet prospective buyers in a relaxed setting. The Parade also benefits suppliers and trade contractors as they gain name recognition as valued and trusted industry partners. The Parade of Homes features a mixture of traditional open houses, following all safety guidelines and regulatory restrictions in place at the time…as well as Virtual Tour only option, in which homes may not be available for viewing however can be showcased virtually. Virtual tours of Parade homes will remain on the GBA website for six months.

Why Participate in the Parade? “We have been participating in the Parade of Homes since 1996. Our marketing plan each year for our “For Sale Homes” is scheduled around the annual Parade events. We have found that advertising our company in the Parade magazine gains us additional exposure and adds “credibility” to our company. In my opinion, taking advantage of the annual Parade of Homes event is the most valuable form of advertising we do.“ - Ray Bullins, Ray Bullins Construction Co., Inc. “For me it allows us to showcase all of our products at one time. Buyers can compare us directly with our competitors without scheduling a lot of appointments. It gives us a less formal environment where we do not feel like we are selling. We get to know each other in a casual setting. We do not always see immediate results, but we do see results in the next year.“ - Matt Walraven, Walraven Signature Homes, LLC “This year I entered a presale for the Parade. It was a beautiful home and a little more expensive than a spec house that I would normally build. I felt like it was a chance to showcase a higher end home than previous Parade homes built as specs. The home was furnished and beautifully staged which worked perfect for the virtual tour. We are currently using this virtual tour to share with prospective buyers given all my existing homes are sold.“ - Randy Dezern, R S Dezern Construction

“The Parade of Homes is large part of our tradition to showcase our new models and communities. Homeownership is more of a priority than ever before…and in 2020 we have valued our partnership with GBA to continue with the Parades in a live in-person as well as a virtual capacity. The virtual tour real estate world has been a blessing in our industry to showcase homes and features in a safe and protected environment, as well as providing a full virtual presentation of a community and surrounding amenities.“ - Elizabeth Ward, D.R. Horton If you do not have a home under construction to enter, consider advertising in the Parade of Homes magazine. With more than 8,000 copies printed and distributed, this is a great way to promote your business to area consumers. Advertising deadline is February 26. For additional information, contact Mavis Holcombe at (336) 706-6942 or mholcombe@ greensborobuilders.org.

Continuing Education Effective this year, NC General Contractors are required to complete 8 hours of continuing education for license renewal. Planning is underway to provide CE classes in 2021 throughout the year. Classes will be held virtually, as well as in-person, if allowed based on regulatory guidelines at the time. We are looking to schedule classes in January and February for those unable to meet CE requirements this year as well as those who want to get it out of the way for the new year. Watch for details on the GBA website with class dates and topics. For additional information on license renewal requirements, visit the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors website at www.nclbgc.org.

IBSx Virtual Experience February 9-12, 2021

GREENSBORO BUILDERS ASSOCIATION - BUILDER UPDATE

Industry Resources F

rom the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, NAHB along with our state and local association have been working to keep home builders, remodelers and trades partners safe and on the job. That effort is now being redoubled as the country faces a worrying spike in cases, hospitalizations and deaths from the virus.

NAHB won an early victory on this effort when the Department of Homeland Security designated home building as “essential business infrastructure” on March 28. By the end of April, many states and major cities in the U.S. allowed home building to continue under modified safety rules. But now, the nation and the industry are facing a fresh challenge from the virus. As home building returns to levels not seen since 2007, COVID-19 is rapidly spreading in nearly every community. Workers on job sites must be conscientious of safety guidance to keep themselves safe and job sites remaining open. The promise of vaccines hitting the market soon, while welcomed news, cannot be a reason for workers to drop their guards in the winter months.

Early efforts focused on the safety of workers on construction sites. NAHB, in cooperation with the Construction Industry Safety Coalition (CISC), adapted CDC guidance into a Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Plan for Construction tailored specifically to home building job sites and published on March 25 in English and Spanish. NAHB has been monitoring changes in official guidance and has updated the plan three times, with the most recent version published on Oct. 29.

In addition to the considerable threat posed by the virus itself, there may also be regulatory hurdles to overcome in the near future. There remains the possibility that OSHA will issue a temporary emergency standard on workplace coronavirus safety in the Biden administration, making adherence to comprehensive safety protocols even more critical.

The plan describes how to prevent worker exposure to coronavirus, protective measures to be taken on the jobsite, personal protective equipment and work practice controls to be used, cleaning and disinfecting procedures, and OSHA guidance on what to do if a worker becomes sick, including recordkeeping requirements. The plan was immediately adopted by many in the home building industry, with members posting the materials on job sites and providing training to workers and trades partners.

We appreciate the commitment our members have to maintaining safe job sites…and encourage you to utilize the various industry resources provided by our national association. You can find updated information and more about NAHB safety programs on the NAHB website. In addition, Builders Mutual has a COVID-19 section on their website to help keep members and policy holders informed on the latest developments with helpful links and resources, including safety videos and posters available to download and use. www.buildersmutual.com/policyholders/covid19

While many at NAHB focused on worker safety, staff in the NAHB government affairs department worked tirelessly with federal, state and local officials to keep workers on the job site. Due to the nature of most home building work – often done outdoors and with masks and other protective equipment already standard – construction was one of a few industries that could be considered safe and essential.

COVID-19 Basic Infection Prevention Measures COVID-19, caused by a new coronavirus, is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The following infection prevention measures may help prevent transmission on construction job sites.

Stay home if you are sick. DO NOT WORK.

COVID-19, causado por un nuevo coronavirus, es una enfermedad respiratoria que puede propagarse de persona a persona. Las siguientes medidas de prevención de infecciones pueden ayudar a prevenir la transmisión en sitios de trabajo de construcción.

Quédate en casa si estás enfermo. NO TRABAJES.

Wash hands frequently or provide alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60% alcohol. Cover coughs and sneezes.

Lávese las manos con frecuencia o proporcione desinfectantes para manos a base de alcohol que contengan al menos 60% de alcohol. Cubra la tos y los estornudos.

Practice social distancing — try to maintain SIX feet between each worker. Wear face covering (cloth, bandana, etc.) or mask over nose and mouth to prevent spread of virus. Reduce the size of any group at any one time to 10 people or fewer or LIMIT all in-person meetings. Minimize ride-sharing. While in vehicle, employees must ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid sharing tools with co-workers, if possible. Clean and disinfect frequently used tools, equipment, and frequently touched surfaces (door handles, handrails, machinery controls, cell phones, tablets) on a regular basis. If N95 respirator masks are not available, minimize dust and airborne contaminants by using engineering and work practice controls. Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when cleaning and disinfecting, such as gloves and eye protection. Revised – 4/23/2020

Download these posters to place in your offices, showrooms and job sites.

Practique el distanciamiento social: intente mantener 6 pies entre cada trabajador. Use una cubierta facial (paño, pañuelo) o una máscara sobre la nariz y la boca para evitar la propagación del virus. Reduzca el tamaño de cualquier grupo en cualquier momento a diez (10) personas o menos o LIMITE todas las reuniones en persona. Minimice el viaje compartido. Mientras estén en el vehículo, los empleados deben garantizar una ventilación adecuada. Evite compartir herramientas con compañeros de trabajo, si es posible. Limpie y desinfecte las herramientas, el equipo y las superficies que se tocan con frecuencia (manijas de las puertas, pasamanos, controles de maquinaria, teléfonos celulares, tabletas) con frecuencia. Si las máscaras de respirador N95 no están disponibles, minimice el polvo y los contaminantes en el aire utilizando controles de ingeniería y prácticas de trabajo. Use equipo de protección personal (PPE) adecuado cuando limpie y desinfecte, como guantes y protección para los ojos. Revisado – 4/23/2020

nahb.org/coronavirus

If you have symptoms of COVID-19 including, but not limited to fever, cough, or shortness of breath, or new loss of taste or smell, stay home and away from job-sites. Si tiene síntomas del COVID-19, que incluyen, entre otros, fiebre, tos, falta de respiración, o perdida reciente del olfato o el gusto, quédese en casa y lejos de los lugares de trabajo.
