Membership Focus ...

Any savvy business professional monitors his/her investments, measuring cost versus value and benefits. In many cases, those measurements are tangible with data that backs up an investment or suggests it’s time to invest the money elsewhere. In many other cases, however, those measurements are less tangible, such as the benefit of being a member of an organization or association.

I have just returned from the International Builders Show (IBS) in Las Vegas and am energized and excited about what I learned. IBS offers so much in terms of information sharing among peers, new trend information, regulatory updates, and so much more.

We had tremendous participate at the Show this year, with approximately 103 members of the BIA attending, as well as one of our staff members, Tara Brinkmoeller, VP of Communications and Public Affairs.

While Tara and I attend meetings mostly pertaining to Association management and programs to enhance our existing membership benefits, many of our members attended educational sessions related to the building industry. If you have never been to the International Builders Show I’d like to strongly encourage you to attend next year. There is no better display of the latest products, services, and collection of education relative to our residential building industry than IBS. Next year’s dates are January 20-22, 2015 in Las Vegas – start to look for registration information in August or September.

This year’s trip reminded me of several incredible member benefits offered to you upon joining the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville.

As you recall, when you joined the BIA you also became a member of the Home Builders Association of Kentucky (HBAK) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

The BIA of Louisville connects members to customers, connects members to affordable insurance options, connects members to education opportunities, and advocates on behalf of the building industry and small business. All of this is performed at the local and state levels, with support from HBAK for state level advocacy efforts. NAHB provides numerous services that are available to all members as an included benefit, some of which include: Business Management Resources – find solutions to difficult industry management challenges Find tools and resources to grow your business

and receive guidance for increasing profitability. Log in to the NAHB.org website to gain access to helpful information including Business tools (nahb.org/biztools); Charts of Accounts (nahb.org/chart); Business of Building e/source (nahb.org/bob); Home Technology Alliance (nahb.org/hta).

Legal Services – Members can contact the legal department at NAHB with a specific question, contract, or regulatory or ordinance review question and receive a response or opinion within 24 business hours.

Additionally, legal services will work collectively on members’ behalves on national isuses. For instance, NAHB is currently investigating the Corps of Engineers plant list that is currently being used as criteria to determine wetlands. If you are experiencing any issues with the Corps of Engineers related to this issue you are asked to email tward@nahb.org.

Member Advantage – There are many national companies that offer discounts to NAHB members, including companies like Lowe’s, General Motors, UPS, Dell, Hertz, Avis, Office Depot, and more! Go to www.nahb.org/ma for details.

I hope you take advantage of the many services provided to you through your membership at the local, state and national levels and that you consider becoming involved!

Sincerely,

Charles J. Kavanaugh Executive Vice President Building Industry Association of Louisville

Measuring the Value of Your BIA Membership Any savvy business professional monitors his/her investments, measuring cost versus value and benefits. In many cases, those measurements are tangible with data that backs up an investment or suggests it’s time to invest the money elsewhere. In many other cases, however, those measurements are less tangible, such as the benefit of being a member of an organization or association.

In business-speak, this kind of analysis is called a “value proposition,” which is based on a review and analysis of the benefits, costs and value that an organization can deliver to its customers, prospective customers and other constituent groups within and outside the organization. More simply, it’s value = benefits - cost. BIA’s value proposition is strong, according to Executive Vice President Chuck Kavanaugh. “Our primary value is that we connect members to customers, both internal and external. And, what’s unique about our association is the high level of advocacy we offer on the local, state and national levels. Very few trade associations can do that. In every event we do, we are connecting members with customers, and we are continually 6 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

engaged in organized advocacy. We have a very detailed representation on the local level with consistent interaction between local decision makers who have an impact on anyone who is involved in building in the Greater Louisville area,” he explained. So whether you move dirt or build buildings or are involved in anything in between the two, Kavanaugh said your voice is represented because of BIA. From a value proposition perspective, Kavanaugh also noted that BIA offers its members tangible measurements of value, including access to workers comp insurance plans as well as educational offerings that allow businesses to meet important continuing education requirements. Through valuable networking opportunities and chances to connect with consumers, whether that’s simply being listed on the website as a member or as an active participant in one of BIA’s events such as Table Top Night or the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, BIA consistently connects members with customers. Sometimes those connections are immediate; sometimes they require a more long term commitment, but they eventually pay off (as numerous members will attest to).

Membership Focus Kavanaugh further explained how advocacy has played an important role in BIA’s value proposition. “We meet regularly with county officials, the mayor, state senators and representatives and many of our members sit on councils and boards for various organizations in Greater Louisville. In our monthly Land Development Committee meetings alone we are interacting with nearly every entity involved in building, including representatives from MSD, LG&E, the Public Works and Planning Departments and others. That involvement, along with HBAK and NAHB, allows us to have a very detailed representation of the building industry at every level of government.”

“Our primary value is that we connect members to customers, both internal and external. And, what’s unique about our association is the high level of advocacy we offer on the local, state and national levels. Very few trade associations can do that. We have a very detailed representation on the local level with consistent interaction between local decision makers who have an impact on anyone who is involved in building in the Greater Louisville area.”

– Chuck Kavanaugh

The association’s recent name change from Home Builders Association of Louisville to Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville reflects the value it brings to the building industry in general.

“We are uniquely positioned to represent everyone involved in the building industry. We all have the same issues, whether that’s pertaining to EPA regulations, codes, sewers, roads or water. We regularly connect with decision makers in those agencies and we host regional meetings that involve chief building code officials,” Kavanaugh explained.

BIA Vice President for Public Affairs & Communications Tara Brinkmoeller explained that when you measure the value of being a member of an association, you have to factor in not only what it does for your business personally, but also what it does for the industry you serve.

Membership Recruitment: Every Member Can Make a Difference Led by Membership Committee Chair Jeremy Esposito, Esposito Construction, BIA’s focus on recruiting members in 2014 will be steadfast and widespread. Adopting the challenge of encouraging every member to recruit a member, the Membership Committee is encouraging everyone to be involved in growing the association. “It’s really just as simple as asking everyone who is a member to recruit at least one member. The whole idea behind our membership efforts is to emphasize the fact there is power in numbers. If you want to be part of an association that matters and you want it to remain strong, you’ve got to have the numbers. Part of making sure you have a strong association is participating in member recruitment,” Esposito elaborated.

Cash prizes and additional incentives such as iPads and plane tickets and spending money for the 2015 International Builders Show in Las Vegas, will be offered throughout the year to encourage members to participate.

BIA Executive Vice President Chuck Kavanaugh commented on the membership recruitment efforts, “Where Jeremy is going is good.

We are looking to broaden the interest in recruiting members and raise the level of importance of what it means to be a member of this association,” he said.

“Every member recruited makes a difference,” BIA Director of Member Services Nicole Bouchard said. “John Miranda shared some numbers with us on the national level that illustrates that. According to NAHB, national membership was up by 17 members last year.

We hadn’t seen growth on a national level since 2007, but those 17 members reversed the trend. It goes to show you that every member does make a difference,” she added. Bouchard emphasized the value of getting everyone on board with recruiting members and explained some incentives that might build momentum, “In response to the challenge, we’ll have a cash drawing in May with all the names of members who have recruited new members. In addition, we’ll host our annual membership drive in September with drawings in November that benefit members who have recruited all year long.” Bouchard said that a commercial-focused membership drive is anticipated for the fall that highlights the new name change of the association and communicates the fact that BIA represents the interests of everyone involved in construction, not just home building.

SMC Topics to Offer Something for Everyone One of the ways the association is appealing to diverse audiences is through its Sales & Marketing Council (SMC). A series of topics are being planned for upcoming meetings that will appeal to numerous groups within the BIA audience. SMC Chair Rodny Davidson, First Community Mortgage, explained “We’re addressing topics that we think everyone will take an interest in. It’s important that we offer information that makes everyone feel included. We don’t want someone to come and ask, ‘What does this have to do with me?’ We want them to take away something that will help them succeed.” The topic for the March 14 SMC meeting is “Grow Your Network, Grow Your Net Worth presented by Doug Smith, a nationally-acclaimed speaker, consultant and business coach. According to Davidson, future topics are being planned that will appeal to individuals involved in all aspects of building, both homes as well as the commercial sector. “We are all working together for a common goal. If you look across our industry, there are diverse groups of people who contribute and we want to bring in topics that will help build our networks and help move the industry forward,” he added.

“We don’t want someone to come and ask, ‘What does this have to do with me?’ We want them to take away something that will help them succeed.”

– Rodny Davidson

Davidson emphasized the role that SMC plays in helping businesses adjust to the changing economic and business landscape. “It’s important to build relationships with people you can trust. The SMC offers that,” he said. Davidson said plans are in the works for a Developers Fair in April and a visit to the Shakes Run Homearama home sites in June. “In August, we plan to visit Locust Creek and bring in a couple of experts in social media to discuss promoting your business. We’re working on other topics for meetings that will appeal to a diverse audience as well,” he added.

SMC meetings are free to members; $25 for non-members. For more information about joining the SMC or attending a meeting, contact Nicole Bouchard at nicole@bialouisville.com. march 2014 7

BIA Honors Members with Prestigious Awards Each year, BIA awards its members with five prestigious designations that celebrate the achievements of individuals annually. Normally, those awards are presented at the Holiday Party in early December, but because that event had to be postponed due to a technical issue at the original venue within the Hyatt Regency Louisville, they were presented at the Olmsted on January 15, along with the Sales and Marketing Council Awards. Although the presentations were a little later than planned, the recipients were each appreciative and humbled by the honor. In the event you didn’t have a chance to attend, meet the winners ...

Prestigious Awards

Remodeler of the Year Award Bill Brunderman Jr., Bruenderman Construction & Remodeling

With heavy hearts and great admiration, the Remodeler of the Year Award was presented posthumously to Bill Brunderman Jr., Bruenderman Construction & Remodeling, who passed away August 5, 2013. Bill’s son, Dane, accepted the award on his father’s behalf. Bill was honored for his dedication, craftsmanship and involvement with the Remodelers Council throughout the years. He began his career in remodeling at the age of 19 and made his mark on the industry for the next 36 years. Phil Fackler, Fackler Homes, offered these comments about his long-time friend and colleague, “Bill was probably the reason I became involved in remodeling and home building. It was due to his efforts in teaching me and his quality of work that inspired me on how to model my own business.”

Tom Corrigan, Corrigan Electric, noted that he had worked with Bill since 1997. “He was a man of his word. He was an extremely good remodeler who not only knew how to put the job together, but knew how to put the tools on and make the job happen with his brother Bob.” Bill was a frequent participant in the annual Tour of Remodeled Homes and was widely admired in the Louisville community for his quality of work. The Louisville community will certainly miss his unique contribution to the building and remodeling industry.

Bill Brunderman Jr.’s son Dane accepting the award on his father’s behalf.

Howard C. Reeves Memorial Award for Excellence in Membership Leo Thieneman, Jr., Leo Thieneman & Sons Leo Thieneman Jr., Leo Thieneman and Sons, was presented the 2013 Howard C. Reeves Memorial Award. Thieneman has emerged as an outstanding membership recruiter in a short amount of time. Pat Durham, Pat Durham Builder, noted that he had witnessed Leo’s impressive momentum in recruiting members within the last couple of years, “Watching him grow from about six Spike credits, which is membership credits, to over 38 Spike credits in just 18 months shows you the kind of devotion he has put into keeping membership top-of-mind.”

John Miranda, Pinnacle Properties, who recently chaired the NAHB Membership Committee, also publicly commended Leo’s recruitment efforts. “It couldn’t come to a more deserving new recruiter within our organization. Getting members committed to membership has been a goal on the national level. Congratulations to Leo on a great job.”

“I really had no idea I would receive this honor. I was surprised and caught off guard. There are people who’ve done a lot more than I have in regard to membership and it’s nice to be mentioned in the same breath as the past recipients,” Leo added.

Prestigious Awards John W. Robinson Lifetime Achievement Award Joe Pusateri, Elite Homes Joe Pusateri, Elite Homes, was honored for his leadership at the association and the community with the 2013 John W. Robinson Lifetime Achievement Award. Bob Thieneman Jr., R.J. Thieneman, remarked on this designation, “No one could deserve this award more than Joe.” BIA Executive Vice President Chuck Kavanaugh shared his enthusiasm for Joe receiving this honor, “When you think of the lifetime achievement award, you have to think of Joe Pusateri. He joined the association in 1978, and has over 1,000 spike credits. He has built a couple dozen Homearama homes, and we all know his experience with building two Extreme Makeover homes and his commitment to the Louisville Orchestra. He has multiple Builder of the Year awards, in addition to the Howard C. Reeves Membership Award, as well as serving as being president of the association two different times.”

Joe said he made a conscious decision after his second term as president in 1992 to represent the building industry in the community at large, rather than seek a term as the state president. “I have been on probably 20 boards, as many as nine at one time, and on almost every one I was the only building representative on that board. I found that I bring a perspective that is not adequately represented when the board is populated with the presidents of the top law firms, accounting firms, banks, the city’s largest corporations, and such. With Rocky continuing to serve in a leadership role in BIA, it has allowed me to represent the BIA in the community and hopefully positively change the perception that they may have had about our industry. I am always conscious that I represent myself and BIA in a way that would bring honor to our industry.” He added that there is no shortage of opportunities to continue to serve and make a difference in Louisville and he plans on staying involved where his abilities and talent can be best utilized.

Associate of the Year Award Dale Hellmann, Prudential Heating & Air Dale Hellmann, Prudential Heating & Air, has been described as a constant figure at BIA, with his efforts benefitting the association and industry in a variety of ways. In honor of his commitment to the industry, he was presented with the Associate of the Year award. Rob Eberenz, Jr. commented on Dale’s work ethic and involvement in BIA. “I knew Dale back when he was selling shelving and I encouraged him to become a member. He not only joined, but he became involved. He served alongside me on the Activation & Retention Committee and eventually chaired the committee. Under his leadership, we’ve had some of the highest retention rates we’ve had in years.”

Dale shared his passion for being involved in BIA and how this award impacted him, “When I found out that I was Associate of the Year I was proud and honored that folks at BIA thought enough of the time I have given to honor me with this award.” Dale emphasized that his commitment to BIA, like that of many other associates, contributes not only to the association in general, but to the community as well. “I enjoy donating time to BIA because I believe the things we do work toward giving people quality, safe homes. If we didn’t have the associates that we have involved at BIA and the tremendous pride that they take in putting their products in homes we would not have such a great city to live in.”

Prestigious Awards

General Elmus S. Ussery Builder of the Year Award Rob Eberenz, Jr., Robert L. Eberenz Jr. Builder Rob Eberenz Jr. was presented with the General Elmus S. Ussery Builder of the Year. “I was very excited. It’s the oldest award of the association and is secretly voted on. No one knows expect the past recipients of the award,” Rob said. His father, Rob Eberenz Sr. shared his pride in watching his son grow up in the industry and achieve such an honor, “Rob got his start in the home building business at about age 10. He was my chief sweeper and clean up man for about 10 years. He was satisfied with that job except for those crawl spaces where those seemingly empty nail boxes were not always empty. He became a builder and has outdone me in a lot of ways. He has built more houses; he lives in a bigger house; he has a bigger boat; he has more spike points; he has more children and more dogs.”

Rob said that he was especially honored to receive the award since his father is also a former recipient. “I believe we are the only father/son team to have received the award so far. What was so special about it is that my dad really felt like I deserved it. That made it even more special.” Rob had served on the BIA Board back in the 80s but family commitments took precedence over his involvement and he wasn’t able to devote the time to the association at that time. “When Bob Marrett asked me to get back on the Board, I was amazed at the people who were still serving and still involved. They were leaders in our industry back then and had already achieved a lot. I felt indebted to them to get more involved.”

Bob Marrett, CMB Development, remarked on Rob’s achievement. “Rob Eberenz, Jr. is the epitome of the Builder of the Year designation. He builds beautiful homes and is active in his community and he is part of a great family.”

SMC Awards Celebrate Outstanding Achievement In addition to the annual BIA awards, the Sales and Marketing Council presented the 28th Annual Sales and Marketing Council Awards for outstanding achievement in new homes and lot sales in 2013 as well as sensational advertising and marketing techniques.

By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC

SMC Member of the Year Pat Durham, Pat Durham Builder Pat Durham, Pat Durham Builder, was presented with the Sales and Marketing Council (SMC) Member of the Year Award. He commented on receiving the honor, “Winning the SMC Member of the Year award means a great deal to me. The SMC was the first committee I joined when I became a member of the association in 1988. The purpose of the SMC appealed to me early on in my career because it was vibrant and relevant to every member of our industry. I started my career as a developer representative focusing on lot sales, so the more people I could meet that had anything to do with new construction, and the bigger my potential audience, the better off I was. So the SMC was a natural group to be part of and active with.”

Pat has been a previous recipient of the award and is a past chairman of SMC. He said that receiving the award this year caught him completely off guard. “I do what I do with SMC because I have a passion for it and want to see the group and its members succeed. I am always inspired by my work with BIA and SMC because I truly believe in our mission, which is to give a strong voice to our industry and to contribute to the success of our members. The more we all do well, the better off our industry will be and the resulting strength in our economy will be the by-product.” Pat said that he is encouraged to stay involved in BIA and SMC because he’s inspired by the unselfish dedication of time and leadership he has witnessed. “You would be amazed at the countless hours, time and attention so many of our members and leadership give on our behalf. It is humbling to witness. So when it is time for me to step up and contribute, when I see so many others do the same thing, it is easy to do and justify,” he added.

Trends in Outdoor Living Span Design and Construction Outdoor living can be living at its best if the experience and advice of professionals are put to good use. From big ideas to big equipment, here’s the inside news about what’s happening outside, delivered from an intriguing mix of experts in their fields..

By Nancy Miller

Lisa Knight, Lisa Lynn Designs The latest outdoor living goes beyond patios, terraces and open decks. With kitchens, televisions, and furniture, rugs and lighting that resemble their interior counterparts, outdoor living has achieved much greater status.

When contemplating an outdoor living area, look at the whole picture---how it will visually connect to the house and how it will it be incorporated into the landscaping. There should be plenty of greenery and plantings.

Also, rather than simply building a deck out of wood and putting bushes around it, bring in other elements of a hardscape such as a rock wall around the back. Water features are wonderful. We’re seeing more koi ponds or small ponds with a waterfall or fountain.

It’s an extra sensory thing. People like to hear water because it’s so relaxing.

A trend is to install a television over the fireplace in the outdoor setting. Another recent addition to outdoor living is screen porches with retractable screens that provide the openness of a deck but have the advantage of keeping bugs away while having dinner.

Chandeliers that aren’t hardwired but are hung with luminary are fantastic. They run on timers with a remote control.

An outdoor space that extends off a living room or hearth room needs to extend the flow that’s established inside, both in color and overall design. However, if an outdoor area is almost disconnected from an interior room, it’s fine to punch up the colors or make a dramatic change.

Outdoor furniture used to be hard and simple, but now it’s oversize and plush, with comfortable, deep seating. Many fabulous, durable fabrics are offered in florals, stripes

and geometrics. They don’t fade or stain. Rain water will go through the cushions and out the bottom, drying in 20 minutes. But, there are different types of outdoor furniture. Some can stay in direct rain or sun, but some still need to be placed in a covered area.

Having everything at hand, such as a refrigerator and built-in grill---makes a convenient kitchen that will be used and enjoyed.

There’s a movement away from gas grills that rust and have to be replaced toward inserting the grill into a stone wall.

Jill Gaynor, Home Staging Specialists As more people are designing their outdoor spaces for entertaining and staycations, they should ask themselves several questions: In what seasons will the space be in use? Should it be partially covered, perhaps with a heated

Trends in Outdoor Living porch, or totally uncovered? Should there be a play area for small children or somewhere for teenagers to hang out? Is a salt water or chlorinated pool preferred? What type of decking has the most appeal? Do they want a gas line to the grill so they don’t have to deal with propane tanks? (There’s a debate going on about the merits of a gas versus ceramic grill.

Statistics show that most people have more than one grill). How about having an outdoor theater or accommodations for a projector?

Will anyone be sleeping outside? And don’t forget to incorporate a flower, vegetable or herb garden.

Is it possible to design a great outdoor living area without spending an exorbitant amount of money? Yes. It’s all about prioritizing what’s most important.

Eric Steinbrenner, Brecher’s Lighting The best thing about lighting for outdoor living is that the lighting is no longer an afterthought. It’s essential to creative design.

When designing an outdoor living area, there are a number of lighting factors to consider. One is the architecture of the house.

The outdoor space should complement or enhance the look of the exterior of the home.

Another is the type of activities that will be taking place outside during the evening. And, finally, I think everyone needs to think about the overall personality, or mood, of the outdoor living environment.

Just as with the home’s interior, lighting needs to be addressed in terms of ambient, lighting, task lighting in a cooking area or bar, and accent lighting that will highlight decorative elements.

An expansion in the selection of outdoorrated ceiling fans means there’s a style for every design taste. Keep in mind that because ceiling fans are considered an appliance, they fall under the regulations of limiting power consumption.

In addition to lanterns and bracket fixtures like sconces, there are quite a few ways to kick it up a notch. There are some really neat chandeliers that are made specifically for outdoor lighting and that are installed under a roof or in an enclosed area. Kichler has introduced exterior-rated portable lamps---floor lamps and table lamps---that coordinate with wicker, stones and other textures found in exterior living spaces. Hinkley and Minka-Lavery also have some beautiful new products that are an extension of what is expected of outdoor lighting.

Even if an outdoor living area doesn’t have walls, the proper lighting can give the feeling

that walls or a more defined area exists.

Lighting for new construction, but especially for a remodel, needs to be integrated into the initial stages of an outdoor design.

The design may be coming off the eaves of a house that enters the attic space, or it may be necessary to accommodate recessed lighting or chandeliers. It’s important to have an adequate run of electrical and switching. There are code requirements for exterior spaces as far as the type of switches and plugs that are needed.

The lighting required for step-downs is also part of code and should be drawn up with the builder and electricians. And the fixtures, themselves, must pertain to code.

However, if an outdoor area is almost disconnected from an interior room, it’s fine to punch up the colors or make a dramatic change.

- Lisa Knight Brook Tafel, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives Having an outdoor space that’s designed with night in mind doubles the livability because most people work during daytime hours.

Lighting brings the space to life. Even in winter, the homeowners can enjoy looking at the outdoor area if there is correct lighting.

Lighting should be worked into the planning and budgeting to insure there will be funds available when the time comes to install the lighting.

Generally, there are two types of lighting that can be considered. The traditional 120 volt fixtures are very labor intensive to install and to change. It’s also fairly invasive with trenching and shouldn’t be done at the end stages. The other option is 12 volt. That requires more of an investment in equipment than in labor but allows much more flexibility.

It also permits the lighting to be done after the landscape components have been placed.

We do our best work toward the completion of the space because we can see the landscaping and entertaining spaces, and can envision how the area will be utilized. Also, we can understand the view from the interior rooms.

The first major mistake in outdoor lighting is having glare. It’s the worst consequence of poor lighting. The second mistake is using low quality fixtures. There’s a wide variety of very low grade fixtures that don’t survive weather extremes, fertilizers, pest control applications

and general sunlight.

Most of the systems we do today are LED. They’re very energy and cost efficient in allowing the lights to be kept on from dusk to bedtime.

Steve Sauter, Lawnco Outdoor living has always been important in high end homes, but now all homeowners are realizing that there are many ways of creating great living spaces outside. There are enough price levels of fireplaces, firepits and kitchens that they’re an attractive option for more people. We, as landscapers, bring the spaces to human scale and make them cozy.

We might add plants for color and screening for privacy or to conceal something that’s unattractive such as an air conditioning unit or a swimming pool pump. There are lots of ways to disguise what someone doesn’t want to be visible.

Water can be a beautiful part of outdoor living. If a homeowner doesn’t want to deal with the maintenance that can be involved with water features, we’ll create a pondless feature that might have water coming through a rock and going back into the round. Birds, squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits are naturally drawn to the water, bringing in the sights and sounds of wildlife without the mess of things such as birdseed. When we put those features on a thermostat, there’s not much the homeowner needs to do unless there’s a heavy evaporation issue. Another advantage to a pondless water feature is that the water percolates from below, eliminating a safety issue if children are around.

Pools can present a variety of challenges.

We’re working with a $2.5 million dollar home on a three-acre wooded lot with a view of Floyds Fork. The building code requires that it have a fence that surrounds the pool.

We suggested moving the fence back two or three hundred feet and drop it below eye level so the natural view won’t be obstructed. That’s just one example of moving structures so they aren’t an impediment to the view but still provide safety.

Lighting is always part of good landscaping, and can include uplighting the façade of a house or down-lighting the landscaping.

The goal of lighting is to be able to see the production of the light, but not its source.

You never want to see a hot spot. Beautiful nighttime views can be seen from inside the house when the correct lighting is used. Also, if there’s an area in the yard that is dark when you pull into the garage, we can light it so there’s a feeling of security. march 2014 19

Homeowners increasingly want an outdoor living room and a kitchen, not just a deck.

They usually want it open air, but often roofed over, so they can enjoy it out of the weather.

Some of the best advice I can offer involves thinking functionally about how the space will work. As design professionals, we can offer options the client may not think about.

In addition to that, we stress the importance of choosing plants that will grow and mature to fit the space in which they are planted. A blue spruce that’s put near the corner of a building may look nice now, but in 15 years it will need to be cut down because it will be growing into the basement walls.

I recommend native species be used whenever possible because they will be more vigorous and robust and won’t need as much 20 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

100,000 pounds, and Gorilla Hydraulic Hammers that take out rock. Almost all the new developments and subdivisions in this area have a tremendous amount of rock that has to be removed. In the past, it was possible to blast through the rock with dynamite, but now hydraulic hammers have to be used.

Tim Riley, Bobcat Enterprises Everything in our industry, and I believe for both residential and commercial building, in general, is getting much better. It all has a completely different feel than three or four years ago. For a long time, the ability to finance the equipment was a major question, but that has eased. Banks are lending again.

I think some of the new products that are being offered reflect the more positive environment. For example, the new M Series loader is a cab forward design that provides the operator greatly improved visibility into the bucket. Also, the pressurized cabin keeps the operator out of the weather.

Homearama 2014 to Showcase Green Infrastructure and Wide, Open Spaces

By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC

In addition to all the bells and whistles normally associated with Homearama homes, the 2014 event to be held in Shakes Run this July will offer the public a new perspective on how local developers are incorporating green building techniques into home sites. Located in Eastwood in eastern Jefferson County, Shakes Run is already well known for its gorgeous tree-lined entrance and large lots, but a new section that will host the 2014 Homearama homes will showcase the most green and sustainable infrastructure features ever seen in a Louisville residential community.

“We hope to educate the public on the extra steps that developers and builders take to be sensitive to the environment and demonstrate the creativity involved in constructing green infrastructure in new residential areas.”

– Rocky Pusateri

Bioswales to be Focal Point of Green Infrastructure Instead of using storm pipe/sewers for collection of rain water, bioswales and other rain collection features will be incorporated into the design in this new section of Shakes Run. A bioswale consists of a swaled drainage course with gently sloped slides that is filled with vegetation and soil that’s designed to remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water. According to Rocky Pusateri, Elite Homes, the curbs are formed to create flumes that direct rain water into bioswales.

“Bioswales consist of special soils that absorb water. With a bioswale, you plant materials that will thrive on moisture. The result is that it creates more open space, provides additional landscaping opportunities and reduces the amount of runoff from the site,” he explained.

Pusateri said that going forward, developers will have to incorporate similar techniques when designing new developments due to the new EPA and MSD regulations related to rain water and wet weather events.

Specifically designed to have a positive impact on the environment, the bioswales can be aesthetically appealing, adding to the green spaces in a development. “There’s a pretty good chance that most of the people coming through Homearama have never even heard of a

bioswale or really understand what green infrastructure is. We hope to educate the public on the extra steps that developers and builders take to be sensitive to the environment and demonstrate the creativity involved in constructing green infrastructure in new residential areas,” Pusateri said.

In Shakes Run, the bioswales will complement the open feel and natural elements that have been preserved and incorporated into the overall design of the development. Home sites and roads in Shakes Run were planned around the land’s natural ridge lines, and many existing stream beds and valleys were left untouched. Open spaces there equal 26 percent of the total land space -- more than 70 acres. When completed, Shakes Run will host 470 home sites. In addition to green spaces and new green infrastructure, Shakes Run has a pool, clubhouse with exercise facilities, lake front views and a fishing lake which all contribute to the uniqueness and beauty of the development.

With green infrastructure setting the stage, builders are already planning to include plenty of energy efficient building techniques and products into the houses themselves. In addition to the 2014 event, Shakes Run has hosted the 2009, 2010 and 2012 Homearamas.

Shakes Run was strategically designed to celebrate its natural beauty and allow homeowners a chance to experience a countryside escape as well as the benefits of socializing together in a shared community.
