Trends in New Homes and New Home Communities BIA Members Share What They Learned at IBS

By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC

As anyone in the home building industry can tell you, constructing new houses for today’s consumers isn’t the same as it was before the slowdown. Nearly everyone involved in the industry has had to rethink how to market to a cautious audience of would-be buyers who are better informed and more selective than ever. Many new homebuyers have had several years to think about what they want (and don’t want) in their dream homes. That’s not a bad thing. This new crop of consumers have done their homework, which can often make it easier to communicate exactly what they’re looking for in a home community and house in general. While individual tastes and needs are certainly unique, there are some common trends in what today’s homebuyers want. Although many of them come to the drafting table with plenty of ideas in mind, they are still turning to builders and suppliers for guidance in making sure their new home is built and supplied with cutting edge technologies and up-to-date features that will make it unique and suited to their needs for the long haul.

Many BIA members attended the International Builders Show (IBS) in Las Vegas in February, where the latest ideas in home building and design were showcased. Industry experts discussed emerg6 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

ing trends for the coming year in numerous “spotlight sessions” that included speakers such as the vice president of Community at Houzz, the fast-growing online platform that is changing the way consumers design, build and remodel their homes. More than 100 education sessions were available on topics that addressed 50+housing, sales and marketing and high-performance building. So, what did BIA members take away from IBS in regard to new homes and new communities? Plenty, and they were willing to share those observations with readers of Louisville Builder ...

What are Buyers Looking for in New Homes and New Home Communities?

Pocket Communities and Social Connectivity According to Jeremy Esposito, Esposito Construction, buyers are embracing the “pocket community” concept, where empty nesters, families and single householders can find friendships or a helping hand nearby. These neighborhood clusters often share open spaces, but more importantly they share a sense of community. “Gen Y’ers as well

Trends in New Homes as boomers benefit from the small planned designs with a common open space, but the ‘pocket community’ is being pushed a bit more without a specific target group,” he added.

In pocket neighborhoods, there are definitive boundaries and in many cases, parking and cars are around the perimeter of the neighborhood. Shared spaces are the focal point that encourages connectivity. Stacked duplexes designed around common courtyards are becoming more popular as well. “Adding density and providing options for mixed-use developments within a community is a desirable option for some.” Brinkmoeller explained.

More Functional Development Amenities John Miranda, Pinnacle Properties, noted that as home designs have focused more on functionality, so have the developments themselves.

“Since developments are getting smaller, amenities are now being designed to be more efficient. Things like splash parks (instead of swimming pools), walking and bike trails within open spaces (instead of golf courses) are being added,” Miranda explained, noting that dog parks and neighborhood gardens are also popular up-and-coming amenities.

According to Billy Doelker, Key Homes, homeowners are looking for lots they can easily maintain. As boomers downsize into smaller homes, they are looking for outdoor spaces to enjoy that don’t require any maintenance. Making the most of the outdoor space, whether that’s shared or privately owned, is a big emphasis with today’s buyers.

Walkability of developments is also key, especially as it relates to accessing nearby services and conveniences.

“Since developments are getting smaller, amenities are now being designed to be more efficient. Things like splash parks (instead of swimming pools), walking and bike trails within open spaces (instead of golf courses) are being added,”

Age Demographics and Ethnicity Can Make a Difference The current homebuyer market has a wide range of age differences, causing builders and industry professionals to switch gears often on how they market and plan their products. It makes sense for BIA members to take note of what specific age groups are looking for in new homes and new home products as well as what they are willing/able to pay for them. In addition, NAHB research supports that home design preferences vary amongst different ethnicities. Understanding these desires for these growing population segments is important.

Multi-Purpose Kitchens According to Lynn, the kitchen is still the most important selling point of a home. “Especially in the open concept home, the kitchen is becoming more of a gathering area for families. With a spacious kitchen, multiple family members can cook together and move around one another. And, the children can do homework at the island while parents are making dinner,” she explained. Open shelving in kitchens is a high-demand design request, especially with younger buyers.

While Lynn emphasized the importance of the kitchen, she also relayed an interesting find at IBS for clients who don’t cook much. “One especially unique idea I saw at IBS was the ‘hidden kitchen.’ This is

What are Trends in New Home Building?

Thoughtful, Open and Useful Floor Plans Esposito noted that single story floor plans are still being marketed to the boomers for obvious reasons, but it’s also a popular plan across the market. Functionality, according to Doelker, is perhaps the biggest factor when it comes to floor plans. “Functionality is the thing that continues to resonate in terms of what the consumer – across all age demographics – is looking for. You need to be looking at the functionality of the floor space in all the areas. Everyone is getting away from wasted space and massive square footage,” he said. Doelker emphasized that consumers want floor space that works with everyday living.

The sense of community that homeowners are looking for in a neighborhood transcends into home design as well. Homeowners have always wanted homes they can entertain in, but today’s buyers are less formal in their design goals. They want a home that offers intimate spaces for gathering. Lisa Lynn, Lisa Lynn Designs, explained that the casual, “open concept” home is growing more popular with all age groups. “There is a great room instead of living room now and hearth rooms are attached to kitchens with larger dining spaces, making formal dining rooms almost obsolete,” she said. The open concept is designed in “zones” where multiple activities can go on while family members and guests remain connected. april 2014 7

Trends in New Homes for the clients that do not cook and rarely use their kitchen. It is also popular in large cities where the condominiums are so small that the kitchen has to be created inset a wall. It is a very interesting concept and look – the wall actually folds upward revealing a basic kitchen with a sink, microwave, base refrigerator and cabinets. If the homeowner entertains, they usually hire catering services.”

Technology Homes are “smarter” than ever today, with abilities to control everything from lighting and TV recordings to alarm systems from afar.

As generations of up-and-coming homebuyers expect their homes to function much like their smart phones, technologies in home design and building are quickly progressing. “While we were at IBS, I noticed a lot more technology integrated into normal things. Although we’ve seen a surge in the use of technology in the past, this year was especially innovative,” said Esposito. He attributes that to the extra time and money spent on research and development by companies during the downturn. “A few of the newer products I saw included a countertop that wirelessly charged your cell phone from LG. Another was an induction top that used the whole cooking surface, so it could heat up any size or shape pan you put on it from Thermador called the Freedom Induction Cooktop,” he said. Esposito noted,

Survey Reveals Features Most (and Least) Likely to Show Up in Typical Single-Family Home in 2014 In December 2013, a nationwide survey asked builders about the likelihood that a number of features would be included in the typical single-family home they will build in 2014. Check out the results at NAHB’s Eye on Housing portal: http://eyeonhousing.org/2014/03/04/featuresmost-likely-to-show-up-in-typical-single-familyhome-in-2014/

however, that there’s still a gap between what consumers would like in regard to technologies and what they are willing to pay.

Organization One area of the home that has become a must-have is a “drop zone” for coming and going. “The mud room is becoming a necessity for families. This creates a drop zone in the rear of the house where everyone can leave their coats, shoes and bags while keeping it out of the main living area,” Lynn said, adding that storage is becoming more and more important to homeowners. “The use of pull-out shelves in pantries, corner cabinets and lower cabinets is popular, especially with older clients. Large walk-in pantries are almost becoming a necessity for family kitchen storage.”

Cost Savings Through Energy Efficiency Consumers are more aware than ever of not only how much a home costs to build, but how much it costs to run it. Energy efficiency is an important aspect not only for how “green” it might make the home, but how much “green” in relation to dollars it saves the consumers.

“Consumers are definitely thinking about what they can do to save money through energy efficiency and are asking what they can do to see a return on their investment. The majority are interested in how it’s going to affect their bills,” Doelker explained.

Color (or lack of ) When it comes to color in today’s newly built homes, less is more.

According to Lynn, neutral colors are continuing to play the lead role in color drama. Greys are playing a prominent role and tone-ontones are making guest appearances. “We are designing our kitchens using mostly neutral materials and adding pops of color. The twotoned cabinetry is also very popular. For example, we’ll use a different finish on the bottom cabinet than the top, or a different finish on the island than the surrounding cabinets,” she explained.

Brinkmoeller learned at IBS that paint and color blocking are being used to reduce costs of moulding and that color themes can work to a builder’s advantage when building spec homes, helping buyers associate the floor plan they like best with a specific color theme.

Greens are still popular, but softer tones are being used more.

Emphasis on Upscale Quality “Quality is very important in today’s market because the consumer is

Trends in New Homes just so much more educated and knows if or when a builder is leaving out materials or using a slightly lesser option. The internet and HGTV has ensured us with the most knowledgeable client base we’ve ever had,” Esposito said.

Lynn said the the main movement in bathrooms right now is creating a spa-like atmosphere. “People are using more natural woods, stone and rain-style shower heads, some that can be hand-held for mature clients. We are beginning to remove bath tubs and use frameless glass showers for that spa look.” she noted.

Tom Raver, Fireplace Distributors, noted that outdoor fireplaces are still very big and stone was a prominent application. However, linear fireplace units are gaining momentum as well. “They have a more modern look and previously people installed them in homes that were overall modern, but now you’re finding them everywhere.

They work very well in traditional settings. It balances out a TV that’s mounted above it. Every fireplace booth I saw at IBS had some type of linear fireplace product.” he noted.

High Energy at IBS Offers Momentum for Local Industry Doelker said he has attended IBS every year since 2001 and this year’s event was significantly more energetic than in recent years.

“For the last four or five years, it seemed that a lot of vendors had pulled out, but this year the energy was back and attendance was definitely up. You could sense a lot more excitement. I think it’s important for us to take that excitement back to our communities,” he noted.

Top Takeaways From Economic Forecast Event Optimism and Engaging Discussions Headline Event That Covered Residential, Apartment, Industrial, Office and Retail Market Segments

By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC

In partnership with the Kentucky chapter of Certified Commercial Investment Members (CCIM), Integra Realty Resources and the Louisville Apartment Association, BIA hosted an Economic Forecast event January 30 at the Olmsted. Industry experts shared research and estimated projections on a wide span of factors affecting the local building industry and Greater Louisville economy in general, with a primary emphasis on the local real estate market. The event triggered an energetic atmosphere with speakers that offered engaging discussions of the residential, apartment, industrial, office and retail market segments of the industry.

With a great representation of the “movers and shakers,” the Economic Forecast event drew a great deal of interest. Among the speakers was Mayor Greg Fischer. Dr. Janet Kelly, Urban Studies Institute of the University of Louisville, Jim Russell, US Bank, John Sacksteder, Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project and George Chapman, Integra Realty Resources, among others. Numerous expert panelists, including BIA members, contributed their time and talents to the event.

BIA Executive Vice President Chuck Kavanaugh commented on the event, “It provided members of BIA and the community an opportunity to not only glean information about the residential marketplace, but the overall real estate market in general. If you’re only building in one segment of the market, it was a good way to get a firm grasp of the entire industry and hear it from experts in every one of the real estate market segments.

Also, we had speakers who were able to give a global understanding of where the economy is and where it could be going.” Kavanaugh 10 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

gave an update on the residential market segment that focused on both the positives and the negatives. He explained that while new “for sale” housing construction is up for the last two years versus down for the previous five years, it’s still only at 60 percent of the 2002 figures. However, existing homes are at their best performance level within the last 10 years. Kavanaugh pointed out that although the last quarter of 2013 revealed slower new home sales than in previous quarters, the market has also seen 22 consecutive months with house price appreciation. On the remodeling front, the NAHB Remodeling Market Index (RMI) is at an historic high.

“Getting all the real estate entities together where everyone knows what everyone is doing and planning enabled us all to communicate better. It’s the only event where everyone in our industry comes together.”

– Gale Lively

The apartment market segment had many positive things to report. According to Gale Lively, Louisville Apartment Association, the local apartment market has seen an influx of renters in recent years, many of whom turned to renting during the economic slowdown.

“Business is good and occupancy is great for apartment owners. Many people who moved into apartments because of the housing crisis have found that to be their lifestyle preference,” she added, noting that the industry is anticipating more than 850 new units to be built in 2014. According to Lively, the fore-

casting event was unique in that it provided a comprehensive communications forum for all segments of the local real estate industry.

“Getting all the real estate entities together where everyone knows what everyone is doing and planning enabled us all to communicate better. It’s the only event where everyone in our industry comes together,” she elaborated.

“With UPS and our geographic positioning, our panelists were bullish on absorption levels and continued industrial development, even on a speculative basis.”

– Tony Fluhr

Tony Fluhr, 2014 president of the Kentucky CCIM, elaborated on what he took away from the event, “We covered a lot of ground during this annual forecasting event, including residential, apartment, industrial, office and retail panel discussions.” Fluhr explained that real estate experts predicted mixed commercial real estate trends for 2014. He said the overall consensus of experts was that things are improving, but to what degree varies heavily on the sector of real estate. “Our office panelists made several key points, including the fact that Louisville’s largest employers, on average, are not heavy office consumers, and that is holding Louisville back from being a great market. Our industrial panelists made strong points as well, stating that Louisville’s industrial market is the best secondary market in the country. With UPS and our geographic positioning, our panelists were bullish on absorption levels and continued industrial de-

velopment, even on a speculative basis,” Fluhr added.

Stacey Nicholas, Integra Realty Resources, said that Integra has been involved with hosting the economic forecasting event for 20 years, but the recent partnership in cohosting it has been beneficial for all involved.

“The benefit for anyone coming to the event is to hear from those of us who are on the ground and seeing these transactions every day and have a handle on what is actually taking place in the market. It keeps getting bigger and better every year, with nearly 200 attendees this year,” she explained. Nicholas said the overall takeaway was optimism. “We had a lot of positive things to say about all of the property types. There are some negative factors in a couple of segments, such as downtown office space, however, we’ve had some positive absorption lately of the class A spaces. Those spaces are what’s going to drive business,” she elaborated.

Nicolas said that among its other research, Integra sends out surveys to property managers and owners of apartments and noted that properties are increasing in value as are renters’ expectations of amenities. She also noted that the new RiverPark Place project is attracting interest from people who value living near and playing on the water and want to be close to urban areas.

Billy Doelker Honored With BEAM AWARD at State and Local Levels

By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC

BIA recently presented Billy Doelker, Key Homes, LLC, with the Builders Engaging Associate Members Award (BEAM) at Table Top Night February 20 at the Ramada Plaza. The BEAM award recognizes a builder who is consistently and actively engaged with BIA associate members. According to Associate Vice President Tom Raver, Fireplace Distributors, this recognition is important because it emphasizes the value of doing business with other members and demonstrates the role that builders play in supporting the association. “Billy Doelker is a great example of what we hope all builders will strive to do in that he supports the associate members who support BIA. He is very deserving of the award,” Raver said.

According to BIA Director of Member Services Nicole Bouchard, the BEAM award is presented to members on the local level first, then those names are submitted to the state association. HBAK then chooses a winner and submits that person to the national level.

Doelker’s award at the state level is another source of pride for BIA. “Billy is a great example of why this award was created. Two years in a row we have won at the state level and I think that really says some-

thing about our members,” she acknowledged.

While attending the International Builders Show in Las Vegas in early February, Doelker learned that he was among the finalists for the national BEAM award. “I really had no idea that I had won the local or state award until I was at IBS when I found out I had been in the candidate pool to be considered for it on the national level. I was honored to receive it,” he said. Doelker said that he is motivated to do business with associate members because he views them as a vital role in the success of his own business. “As a builder, I am only as good as the people I surround myself with. I look at my suppliers as extensions of my own business. As a sports analogy, I guess I would compare it with assembling the best team I can to make the best product I can for my customers.” Doelker said that he’s continually amazed by how willing BIA members are to unselfishly share advice for the benefit of the local industry and how being actively engaged in the association helps his business. “I feel like the more engaged I am, the better product I’m able to create.”

e h t r o f r e b em M a t e G o t Tips on How n ig a p m a C ’ ? r e ‘Gotta Memb As the “Gotta Member?” campaign is in full swing, it’s tempting to assume that the “getting” part of “gotta” is not a big deal. For many members, it’s easy to approach someone they do business with or will potentially do business with and talk shop about BIA. However, what’s easy for one person is not so easy for another. The BIA Membership Committee encourages members to simplify their approach and focus on the key things that make being a member of the association valuable to them. Here’s their advice ...

By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC

Rob Eberenz Jr., Robert L. Eberenz Jr. Builder, said when he runs into someone who he thinks will be a candidate, he starts off talking about the simple things that BIA offers, then moves on to the bigger advantages, such as access to insurance and workers compensation plans. “I’m a big proponent of the website. Sometimes that’s enough to convince someone who needs or wants that extra marketing. I emphasize that being associated with BIA carries a lot of weight with consumers. If that person is a true trade contractor and has to carry worker’s compensation insurance, then I emphasize the AGC-SIF and the rates they are able to get. The group insurance program is also a big benefit,” he said. Eberenz said he believes it’s important for Registered Builders to get as many of their subcontractors on board as possible. “The slam dunk to convincing someone to join is to emphasize that if you’re willing to invest the time in being involved in BIA – where you’re not just a name, but you’re a face behind the name – the business will come. People want to do business with people they can trust,” he added.

J.P. DeLaney, Logan Lavelle Hunt Insurance, said he breaks the ice with a potential member by talking about workers comp and health insurance. “I start with the AGC and health care conversation. With health care drastically changing, it’s a good ice breaker, especially if they are with a larger company. One thing I tell people up front is that you don’t have to be a member of the association to receive a quote on health insurance,” he said. DeLaney explained that he uses a more direct approach with people who had previously been members of the association than he does with those who aren’t familiar with BIA. Tom Raver, Fireplace Distributors, cites three BIA committees that he immediately highlights when connecting with potential members.

“I talk about the Government Affairs, Land Development and Codes Committees right off the bat. Those three committees are reasons enough to become a member. If you’re going to be in this industry, you benefit from those committees without even knowing it. But if you’re really involved in new construction, it’s essential that you become a member of BIA. It’s simply good business. There are plenty of opportunities to get in front of builders and other clients,” he explained.

Raver said that simple, direct conversations work for him, especially when he focuses on what BIA does behind-the-scenes and the active involvement of its current membership.

Becky Hughes, Deming, Malone, Liesay and Ostroff, PSC, said she finds potential clients at networking events such as Women in Commercial Real Estate (WCRE) or other commercial real estate events.

“Usually there are networking sessions before the programs begin where I can find potential clients,” she said.

Derek Smothers, Quality One Steel Design, said he highlights the opportunities for getting new business, but he gives examples of how to be involved and emphasizes engagement. “I tell them that you can’t just join and expect new business immediately. But, as long as you’re active and you network, your business will grow. Just being a member of BIA brings you credibility, not to mention the discounts on insurance through the group rates,” he said. Smothers also promotes the educational opportunities. “There are so many classes that can help you better yourself no matter what business you are in,” he added.

Dale Hellmann, Prudential Heating and Air Conditioning, said with his job he’s in a position to connect with potential members daily. “If I encounter someone out on a job, I’ll call them up later to ask them why they aren’t a member and explain all the ways they can take advantage of the benefits, such as the insurance program. There’s a substantial savings there. And if I meet a consumer who is trying to get his product in front of builders, I tell them about the networking opportunities and explain that you can attend all the different meetings and get your product in front of them,” he elaborated. Hellmann said he emphasizes governmental affairs, networking, insurance and workers comp to prospective members. “I explain how BIA works behind-the-scenes to fight every day for our industry,” he added.

Pat Durham, Pat Durham Builder, said that in addition to a little enthusiasm and salesmanship, he relies on the 3” x 5” card available through BIA that helps members promote the main benefits of the association. “The card was designed to be carried in a shirt pocket, calendar or purse and to be handy at all times as a reminder or an actual ‘leave-behind’ for a prospect. It highlights three major reasons: grow your business; reduce your business expenses; and benefit from the strengths of industry representatives advocating for small business and industry related issues,” he said.

By Nancy Miller

Kohler Nightlight, photo courtesty of Kohler

Every year, Louisville Builder features an article about plumbing. We’re always surprised at the range of news we uncover.

This year we learned about the new lead-free law that affects every new construction and remodel. We were wowed by some super-sophisticated showering systems. We also learned how everyone can save a few dollars in plumbing costs if they make some wise decisions up front. And, since we’re here to bring you the latest news, we cover it all, even Kohler’s new lighted toilet seat.

(Okay, we don’t make the news; we just report it!)

Jeff Carlisle Dauenhauer Plumbing We’re starting to see wall hung toilets coming back. Their actual tanks are behind the wall. They are a commercial application that’s now being used for residential. I think their popularity is based on their more elegant look. Also, they’re easier to clean. One of the best of these models is the Kohler Veil K6303. It has a compact, elongated bowl that occupies the same amount of space as a round front bowl; mounting hardware that is completely concealed; an adjustable, durable steel frame carrier that allows the bowl to be set from 15 3/8” to 28 ½” from the floor; a dual-flush actuator that offers a choice of .8 or 1.6 gpf; and a Grip Tight Reveal seat. The supply line is not included.

Also, we’re beginning to get more requests for Kohler’s Moxie showerhead. The showerhead plus wireless speaker delivers up to seven hours of music and news by pairing wirelessly with a device enabled with Bluetooth technology. The sprayface features 60 angled nozzles that deliver a full spray. It’s offered with a water-saving 2.0 gpm spray that doesn’t limit performance.

Freestanding tubs continue to be an often requested addition to a bathroom, but they’re a plumber’s nightmare. So much has to be coor18 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

dinated with the builder for the installation, such as making arrangements with the tile people. Everything has to be set up and marked perfectly before the tile is installed. Many builders forget about that and we end up tearing up tile and cutting drywall below to get the tubs hooked up. But they’re nice once they’re installed.

There’s a lot of coordination involved in most remodels. We like to learn about the needs of the remodeler before we start the project. If a bathroom addition is a long way from the location of the water heater, we recommend installing a circulating line that will produce hot water instantly rather than having to wait for the water to travel a distance.

Most important is to get the homeowner to make selections early on. When fixture changes are made later in the construction process, it means we have to make changes in the plumbing and make the plumbing adaptable to the new selections.

We’ve known for the past year that the lead-free regulations would be coming. That has raised some prices because the manufacturers have to comply with the new law. Anything that’s existing is still allowed to have lead, but anything new has to be lead free.

Freezing pipes are frequently an issue in winter. This past winter brought even more problems. To reduce the likelihood of pipes freezing, it’s important to disconnect all hoses from the outside hose spig-

News about Plumbing gots. We’re now using frost-free hose bibs. Those cut off back in the wall; they have a long stem. If water is trapped, the pipe will burst once the water is turned on. The homeowner won’t know until they actually see it. With other pipes, once they thaw, it’s easy to see the problem.

When spring hits and homeowners start using their hose bibs, they’re going to start discovering the problems. They are mainly caused by improper installation or by people who left hoses on over the winter.

Tim House Kentucky Association Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors Lead Free One major change within the plumbing industry is naturally the new definition of Lead Free in the Federal Safe Water Drinking Act that came into play January 4 this year. The previous lead content of brass fittings was 8%; with the new federal law it is 0.25%. What does this mean to the plumbing industry? Of course the most noticeable change is an increase in the cost of material with increases of 30 to 100%. Not only is the cost increased, the new metallurgic makeup is more sensitive to the normal soldering techniques and now requires additional attention to detail to prevent the connection from failure. At this time the plumbing inspectors are not enforcing the federal mandate. Regardless of state enforcement, any installation of a “non-lead free” fitting puts the liability on to the installer. Not only is the installer liable, the new federal law prohibits the sale of a leaded product intended for use in a potable water system.

Future Code Change Instantaneous water heaters are still growing in popularity. Those that are familiar with them will be glad to know the State Plumbing Code Committee amended the language that required a temperature and pressure relief valve (T&P) on those type water heaters. Don’t get too excited. This amendment still has to go before the Regulation process and will most likely take six to nine months before it becomes possible.

Once this change comes into place, you will see a decrease of $150 to $200 in material alone that was required.

Other future possibilities: The energy conservation code is always being adjusted. If this continues, as I expect it will, you could start seeing more complex systems that separate the soil and waste systems to allow for gray water to be used in flushing fixtures and, possibly, lawn irrigation. The plumbing code has been virtually untouched by the current energy codes; however, don’t be surprised if the next version finally makes an impact on the plumbing industry. The only energy code requirements that impact plumbing currently are the requirements of heat traps on water heaters and the mandated insulation of hot water lines when circulated.

Although these are currently not in the plumbing code you can find them within the residential code.

Mischell Hutto Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery A traditional hot water tank is usually set at 120 degrees and has no way of knowing the demand load. Multiple people in a home with a 50 or 75 gallon traditional water heater can drain the hot water fairly quickly because the hot water has to come from a reservoir of water. Tankless hot water heaters that take up a lot less space and basically supply instant water by heating the water as it is being used, have eliminated many of the hassles of showering and bathing. The tankless water heater is much more reflective of the way people run their homes.

Navien NPE Series, photo courtesty of Navien

In many markets around the country, a tankless hot water heater has become standard. There are geographic pockets that have readily accepted it. In our market, there are still a considerable number of builders and developers who don’t understand the technology and, therefore, choose not to use it. We’re still in the process of educating them about it. Of course, a tankless water heater is more costly than the traditional heater, but the benefits can far outweigh the price.

One of the most popular tankless water heaters we sell is the Navien Premium Condensing Tankless Gas Hot Water Heater. It features a ½” gas pipe capable up to 24’, field convertible gas system, ultra condensing efficiency, dual stainless steel heat exchangers, low NOx emissions, SCH 40, 2” venting up to 60’, and is cascading capable. It is available in 150,000, 180,000 and 199,900 BTU/H. The Rinnai Tankless Water Heater is another attractive option. The company specifically points to the cost savings between their product and traditional water heaters, suggesting that the annual cost of operating the Rinnai product is $201, while the costs for a 40 gallon gas tank water heater is $284 and a 40 gallon electric tank water heater is $585.

News about Plumbing David Leanhart Leanhart Plumbing Sealed ejector crocks are now required for residential bathrooms. Even if a bathroom in a basement isn’t finished, if it has a pump it must be sealed and tested to insure that the system isn’t compromised.

The biggest single change that’s effecting everybody is that lead has mostly been taken out of plumbing. All brass fittings used to contain a small amount of lead. As of January, all water pipe fittings are leadfree. I think that’s a good thing. The major sources of lead in plumbing today are old lines put in downtown by the water company years ago.

With the new code changes, plumbers don’t have nearly as much exposure to lead as they did in the past. Our solder used to be fifty-percent lead.

On the commercial side, food prep sinks in commercial kitchens used to connect directly to the waste system through the wall. But now they dump into something similar to a floor drain, a special receptacle, not flush with the floor. It prevents bacteria from getting into the food preparation.

accents on the hand shower. It’s nice that all of the manufacturers are producing them in specialty finishes such as champagne, bronze, Venetian bronze and polished nickel.

Polished nickel faucets were around for a long time but then phased out. Now they’re coming back. Polished brass is also slowly making a resurgence, although I hate it.

Kohler has introduced a lighted toilet seat. Surprisingly it doesn’t have much of an upcharge. The Nightlight is offered on Kohler’s Cachet Q3 and Reveal Q3 toilet seats. It features two LED light displays that illuminate the toilet in a soft glow, which can be beneficial for children, seniors or anyone who appreciates the added light during the night. The dual LED lighting provides optimal light intensity. The light, located in the seat’s hinge, is visible with the lid down. When the lid is lifted, users can see the task light that illuminates the bowl. The light runs automatically on a seven-hour cycle, and can be activated at the same time every night. It runs on four “AA” batteries for up to six months.

At the combined National Home Builders/International Builders and the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas, we saw many trough sinks for bathrooms. Those from Native Trails, Lacava and Kohler especially stood out. I think they’re designed for a kids’ bathroom or, perhaps, a bunkhouse. When considering one, I would advise to check the thickness of the drains, whether an overflow or non-overflow, and whether it will have wall-mounted faucets or faucets that sit on the sink.

Kohler’s new digital showering, part of the company’s DTV series is amazing. The advanced digital platform combines rejuvenating water delivery, steam, music from your own playlist, and lights that move and change colors during the shower, all in a completely customizable system with one electronic control. A menu-based navigation systems controls temperature, spray intensity and the angle of water delivery.

The DTV digital interface requires a DTV six-port thermostatic valve.

The DTV II digital interface requires a DTV six-port thermostatic valve and a DTVII media server. The DTV II allows six presets and makes it easy to save individual preferences.

Expect the unexpected when doing construction. We always give a time frame and explain what we will be doing. But once we begin tearing down walls and removing plumbing fixtures, we may encounter some surprises. You can’t see what’s behind the walls, so you never know what you’re going to find.

The main time we run into problems is when the homeowners want to do work themselves, such as tile work for a remodel. That makes everything so much more complicated than it needs to be or should be.

One example would be when a homeowner asks us to replace or repair a couple of pieces of tile around a tub. It’s difficult to do patchwork, and there’s no guarantee that the rest of the tile won’t fall off the wall.

Working that way could end up costing more money in the long run.

A new product I love is Delta’s new hand-held shower head, the In2ition. It’s an awesome product for people who want to add a handheld to their shower but don’t have the budget for a total shower remodel.

The In2ition has a detachable hand shower that can run separately from or simultaneously with the shower head, producing two streams of water at once. It can be set to showerhead and hand shower combined, shower head only, or hand shower. The pause function reduces water to a trickle, allowing water conservation. In2ition can be installed by removing the current shower head and replacing it with the new product. Nothing needs to be done behind the wall. It’s great because it uses 2.0 gallons of water per minute rather than 2.5, but the water droplets are larger, making it feel like you’re getting just as much water.

The free-standing tub is making a comeback because homeowners want a statement piece in their bathrooms. I recommend Aquatic and MTI. They are both available in acrylic. Your plumber will thank you for the light weight tub.

MTI’s Boutique Collection is constructed of an engineered solid stone material, an organic mixture of ground natural minerals and binding agents that are liquefied, poured and hardened. The result is molded stone, solid with no layers, hollow or void areas. Air bath systems are available with most of the tubs, using a pedestal base to contain the air lines.

NAHB Chief Economist Presents Positive Outlook to BIA Leaders and Local Government Representatives Dr. David Crowe, Chief Economist for the National Association of Home Builders made a presentation in Louisville on February 26th to a group of BIA leaders, local government and agency representatives.

The presentation was sponsored by Bardenwerper, Talbott & Roberts, PLLC. Dr. Crowe’s presentation was positive for the Louisville market, showing that consumer confidence is up, as is spending on discretionary items such as vehicles and appliances. Here are some of the other points made by Dr. Crowe: • Presently it is more important to watch employment numbers, rather than unemployment figures to get a clearer picture of the recovery and economy.

• There is a pent-up demand of household formations; presently households are forming at 0.6 million per year and the national average had been at 1.4 million per year in 2002-2005.

NAHB 2013 Associate Members Committee Chairman’s Look Back.

A Speech from IBS

It just seems like only a couple of months ago when I sent a message through the Associate Outreach Network (AON) introducing myself and the Subcommittee Chairs as the 2013 AMC Leadership.

What an honor it has been having this opportunity to follow others who have taken this journey. That has led this committee to the level of accomplishments it has achieved.

The International Builders’ Show (IBS) is a great opportunity for associates to network with industry colleagues, attend associate meetings, and gain knowledge at the exciting and informative education sessions. I’m excited to announce that for the first time, there will be an associate member orientation, helping new associates attending IBS to learn the (In’s and Out’s) lay of the land.

2013 was a exciting and challenging year that brought associates new opportunities.

National Area and Associate Chairs sponsored a series of bylaws amendments for consideration at the Fall Board of Directors meeting. The amendments, which were adopted at that meeting, allow the NAHB Senior Officers to appoint an associate member as chairman of the Education and Public Affairs Committee. The amendment also granted the Executive Board the authority to permit associate members to chair any council by means of approving changes to that council’s Rules of Procedure. The NAHB Bylaws currently provide for associate members to chair the Associate Members, Design and Membership Committees and it will also address the Sales and Marketing Council.

The National Area and Associate Chairs will be sponsoring an additional bylaw amendment at a future meeting, which, if adopted, would provide the opportunity for an associate member to serve on the Budget and Finance Committee. Instead of serving as a liaison, as originally suggested, the amendment would make the associate member a full member of the Budget and Finance Committee.

Our leadership continues to build on the foundation and the importance of “engaging associates from the least participation, to the level as our most engaged associates.”

The AON has partnered with State Reps, the Executive Officers, and the National Area Chairs in a united effort to reach out to more associate members for new voices, ideas, and interest that can boost the efficiency and profitability of our local HBAs all across our federation. Associates value education by keeping our members informed and providing various opportunities for networking, particularly through social media avenues.

Another form of networking available for Associates is the New 22 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

Associate Outreach Network Directory. Designed to encourage associate members to communicate with others from around the country, members can use this directory to broaden their circle of peers.

Associates are a great resource of knowledge at the local, state and national levels. Associates create a stronger voice to increase advocacy, and in return, promote a more positive economic and regulatory environment that is so critical for our Housing industry, and the recipients of our products, “The Home Buyer” I can’t tell you how proud it has been for me to serve as your NAHB Associates Committee Chairman. I want to thank each and every one of you who encouraged me on this journey. A special thanks to my local HBA’s Lexington, Louisville, Northern KY., and HBAK. 2-10 HBW for all their support, dedication and over all commitment to this industry. Chairman of the Board, Rick Judson, for his confidence in me to serve under his leadership. I could not have led this committee alone, so I want to spotlight 2013 subcommittee Chairs that was an absolute privilege to serve with: Joe Dumstorf fellow Kentuckian from Louisville, Diana Lucero from New Mexico, Jerry “All-Time Big Spike” Cowan from North Carolina, Linda Mosier-Vaudt from Washington, and Monica SommerfeldtLewis who will most likely be Governor of the state of Wisconsin. I would be remiss not to include our National Associate Chairwoman from North Carolina, Kathy Craven Snodgrass.

I gave each of the leadership team a lantern as a reminder that we are a large light of the NAHB that shines out, to guide other Associates that they too may have an opportunity to become the next leaders since more opportunities has been expanded for Associates to be engaged.

This is where we need to continue partnering reaching out to multiple branches inside the Federation. Staying connected will only make us all stronger, more productive.

You don’t have to be a builder to participate!! So I encourage each of you to get involved; someone will be watching; it’s not who you know, rather who knows you. Knowledge is the key component of power. Get connected.

Again, thank you everyone for attending The Associate Award Breakfast and congratulations, we ALL are winners.

Thank You, John Sizemore 2013 NAHB Associate Members Committee Chairman
