70 BIA Celebrates 70 Years as an Industry Advocate, Resource and Promoter By Stacy Rogers

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Association. Within the last seven decades, the Association has become a fierce advocate, resource and promoter for its members and the regional building industry. Through its Governmental Affairs and Land Development Committees and Commercial Council, BIA offers a commanding voice on issues that affect nearly every member. By way of its educational outreach, philanthropic efforts and special events, the Association serves as a trusted resource for the community. From its very beginning in 1946, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been setting up appointments on Capitol Hill with government legislators, showcasing the talents of its members, introducing the public to new building technologies or mentoring students, the Association has made a significant difference in the community. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reflect upon what was happening during the last 70 years and some of the milestones along the journey...

may 2016

1940’s While Jimmy Stewart charmed movie-goers in “It’s a Wonderful Life” and Winston Churchill gave his famous “Iron Curtain” speech, the 1940’s were important years for all Americans whose losses and sacrifices during World War II were still fresh in their minds and hearts. Following the

end of WWII, many families in America were eager to keep loved ones close and build homes where they could settle down. Amidst the post-WWII culture, a collaboration was forming in Louisville that would bring together businesses who once viewed each other as competitors but soon would realize the value in working as a group for the betterment of their shared industry. 1946 On May 11, 1946, the National Association of Home Builders granted the charter to officially form the Louisville affiliate Association, then referred to as Associate Home Builders of Louisville, Kentucky, Inc. The founders were Emery Kinkead, Dave Wilson, Ralph Stephans, James Polk, T. J. Morrison, William Sunderhall, Robert Kittle and C. Robert Peter. They recruited a total of 18 members that first year. W. Arthur Sorrell served as Executive Secretary of the Association, which was located at 614 East Broadway. Morrison served as the first president of the Association in 1947, with Kinkead, Stephans and Polk following his lead in subsequent years. While small in size, the Association planted deep roots as it fostered growth of the local home building industry and brought awareness to consumers about the products and services associated with building new homes. Just two years after its formal organization, the Association launched the first “Home Show” in 1948 at the old armory/state fairgrounds. The event was on its way to becoming a tradition for many Louisvillians each spring and a way for members to reach consumers. Standiford Field Airport (now called Louisville International Airport) opened for commercial flights in 1947, adding to Louisville’s transportation network and helping position the city as a destination for new businesses.

Membership grew steadily from that humble number of 18 in 1946 to 144 during the Golden Age, through which color television introduced millions to rock and roll and the seemingly magical opening of Disneyland’s doors. In Louisville, a growing number of attendees passed through the doors of the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show. The popular event moved to the newly opened Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center in 1957. That next year, John Robinson took the reins as Executive Vice-President, and held tight to them for the 32 years that followed, further positioning the Association as a prominent voice in the regional

1960’s

An incredible time in history, the 1960’s ushered in the Vietnam War, President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the Beatles and Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Just a year short of sending the first American astronauts to walk on the Moon, the Association launched the inaugural Homearama in 1968 with 12 homes on display in Hurstbourne. The event quickly grew by five more homes the following year in Douglas Hills. Showcasing the talents of Louisville area home builders was fast becoming a tradition. Louisville was also building upon its reputation as a central location, with advancements in transportation. Both Sherman Minton and John F. Kennedy Bridges opened in the 1960’s, and “Spaghetti Junction” intersected Interstates 64, 65 and 71. HBAL photo from the 1960’s

During a time when bell bottom jeans and disco

ruled and the first Star Wars movie hit theatres, homeowners were turning to the Association as

a resource, nearly as fast as Secretariat ran in the 1973 Kentucky Derby. Member numbers grew to over 700 in the 70’s. Homearama featured an

impressive 32 homes in 1977 in Plainview and Watterson Woods. The Association was fast

becoming an impressive voice for the industry

by the 70’s, when important issues were on the table. Members and staff worked together to

represent the industry and homeowners as well, speaking up against a referendum to create a magisterial structure of local government and

helping save millions of dollars regarding water treatment plants. Homearama Plansbook page from 1977 10 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

Locally Owned and Operated Since 1975

1980’s The fall of the Berlin Wall, the Chernobyl accident and the oil spill of the Exxon Valdez garnered international headlines in the 80’s, as children worked diligently to solve Rubik’s Cubes and tinker with the first desktop computers, while Michael Jackson took to the streets with his “Thriller” video. At the Association, there was a lot of moving and shaking as well as membership soared to nearly 1,300. The Registered Remodelers Council debuted the Tour of Remodeled Homes in 1986, with eight homes on display, one with a 1,400-foot detached game room that sheltered a dressing area for a pool and tennis courts and a greenhouse, a telling sign that homeowners valued areas to entertain in style. Homes built in historic neighborhoods were quickly becoming in need of updates, and homeowners were turning to Remodelers to transform them. The popularity of Homearama continued to flourish with Lake Forest and Copperfield hosting frequently throughout the decade.

1990s

Internationally, the 1990’s proved to be a critical time period culturally and technologically. The introduction of the internet spurred innovation and excitement while cell phones and computers advanced and became more affordable. The Rwandan genocide tore at hearts across the world and the Oklahoma City bombing kept Americans on alert. Membership continued to grow, hovering around 1,800. In 1990, the Association moved from Arthur Street to its newly built location at 1000 North Hurstbourne Parkway. “Louisville’s Best New Homes” television show made its debut on WHASTV, offering viewers a chance to tour newly built homes from the comforts of their couches for nearly 20 years. (The show ended in December of 2010, with approximately 825 half-hour original programs under its belt.) In 1996, Chuck Kavanaugh replaced Executive Vice President Len Mills to lead the Association – a post he would retain for the next two decades. Lake Forest hosted four Homearama events while The Polo Fields, Saratoga Woods and Smoketown featured a record 46 homes in 1994. The Association celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1996. may 2016 13

2000’s

There’s no doubt that the turn of the century would be remembered forever for September 11, 2001. The attacks marked the beginning of the War on Terrorism that is still being battled 15 years later. The tumultuous start of the 2000’s made the term “homeland security” a household phrase and re-ignited a sense of patriotism nationwide. On the heels of mourning the events of 9/11 came another threat, one that impacted the “American Dream” in households and businesses across the nation. Demand for newly built homes soared in the early part of the decade, then plummeted toward the end of it. An economic crisis created the worst collapse to strike the housing industry since the Great Depression. Industries suffered, but the housing market was among the hardest hit. Builders who were once covered up with steady business and building spec homes found themselves at a standstill. In just a few short years, the whole industry shifted from “thriving” to “surviving.” Mid-decade served as a peak for the industry, then things began to fall apart. In 2007, membership numbers topped out at over 2,600. That same year, featured Homearama homes were as big as 8,000 square feet. Locust Creek, Beech Spring Farm and Shakes Run hosted multiple Homearama events in the 2000’s. Toward the end of the first decade of the new century, however, that changed dramatically. The housing bubble popped and the national economy staggered to recover. Home foreclosures spiked, and a young generation of buyers graduating from college had a hard time finding good paying jobs. Many chose to rent or moved in with Mom and Dad instead of buying a home. Luxury spending halted and homeowners held tight to their savings. Unemployment rose, and those still with jobs were fearful. An international credit crisis ensued and the fragile financial market created a credit freeze, forever changing how banks loaned money. Builders were forced to reconsider how they did business, and some closed up shop. Many transitioned to remodeling and home maintenance projects, diversifying their skill set to stay in the industry, hopeful it would rebound. Nearly every business related to home building was affected. By the end of the decade, membership had dropped below 2,000. It was a challenging time for the Association, but it still maintained its footing as the second largest of its kind in the country. Careful financial stewardship enabled it to operate without dipping into its reserves, while still effectively representing members. The Association operated conservatively and streamlined every action to focus on connecting members with customers. The major public events continued, while the Association maintained a brave face for the industry despite drop in membership and uncertainty of the future of the industry. 14 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

2010’s Although the economy remained sluggish, advances in technology were fast-paced. Flash drives quickly replaced CDs, smart phones found their way into the hands of people of all ages and the social media revolution took root in the 2010’s, changing how people interact, advertise and communicate on a daily (or minute-by-minute) basis. Technological advances enabled business owners to create their own websites and reluctant homebuyers spent more time on their computers researching before they acted. Although the struggling economy showed signs of improvement, buyers were cautious. While many Building Associations across the nation cancelled their home showcase events, the Association worked with builders to feature homes that were more practical in size, cost and relative to the struggling housing market. Homearama home prices and sizes downsized, with homes in the 2010 event ranging from $400,000 to $600,000 and none over 5,000 square feet. Homeowners began asking for plans designed less for show and more for function. Norton Commons, which is set to host Homearama in 2016 along with newly featured River Crest, made its debut as a host site in 2011, featuring an emphasis on mixed use development. Locust Creek and Rock Springs hosted multiple Homearama events in this time period. The Home Product Expo held in Shepherdsville, now entering into its seventh year, was launched in the early part of this decade. It has since become an excellent pre-cursor to the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, which also sustained the down 16 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

turn and aggressively promoted members’ businesses each January, incorporating entertainment and family-friendly attractions that continue to draw crowds, demonstrating that the American Dream wasn’t dead; it was just put on hold. While the economy struggled, the generosity of Association members flourished. In 2010, the Association’s Building Industry Charitable Foundation (BICF) was officially formed as a 501 (C), expanding upon the previously named Social Responsibility Committee’s charge to impact the local and regional communities through service and giving. Since then it has partnered with numerous organizations including Kosair Charities and YouthBuild Louisville to build playhouses for special needs children and renovate properties for veterans and other deserving individuals. The Commercial Council was formed within the Association, recognizing that both commercial and residential building industries faced many of the same obstacles. Together, they shared perspective that strengthened the Association as it focused on remaining a vibrant advocate for the industry. Associate members became more active and recognized within the Association. To better represent its diverse membership and to open the doors for increasing its voice, the Association officially changed its name from the Home Builders Association of Louisville to the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville (BIA) in January of 2014. This was a major change for an organization

with a 60-plus-year history, but one that strengthened the Association both internally and externally because it recognized every member, making them feel more included and demonstrated to others outside the industry the broad scope of its mission. The name change reinforced BIA as a resource and an advocate, not just for those who build homes, but everyone connected with the building industry in Greater Louisville.

TODAY

Currently, the rebounding economy and homes market offers promise for BIA members. Membership is close to 1,900, and the Association still maintains its hold as the second largest of its kind in the nation. Homearama continues to nurture the idea of building dream homes, but with a modern approach that incorporates energy efficient building products and practices and floor plans that make use of every square inch. While a pent-up demand for building has finally given way to more activity in the market, homeowners cling tight to demanding functional floor plans and choosing to more readily spend their money on amenities than on space. Homearama 2015 showcased an uptick in square footage and price of homes, but builders reported that homeowners are more cautious and conservative than they were a decade or so ago. While interest rates remain low, so does access to qualified labor to build homes that are now in demand. Low inventory of newly built homes is keeping builders busy these days, but concerned about being able to meet demand with a slim workforce. The Association is working to address this issue through partnerships with local schools and organizations. Another major public event, The Tour of New Homes, has been rejuvenated and is becoming a much sought-after outing where homeowners are eager to see what new homes currently are on the market. In 2015, Chuck Kavanaugh announced his retirement, and long-time Association member, former president and experienced Builder and Remodeler Pat Durham was selected to take his place. Durham officially takes over June 1, 2016, armed with the experience of being active in BIA and recognizing the important influence it has in Greater Louisville and beyond. Over the years, the Association has evolved to become an impressive voice in the local and regional communities in regard to advocacy and representing the interests of its wide variety of members. The heritage of BIA, the tradition of its long-standing events and its impact on the community are highly valued among its leaders and members. As the Association celebrates the 70th year milestone, its members can be proud and confident in knowing such a highly respected organization represents its interests and will continue to push ahead advocating for and promoting the local building industry.

BIA Family Connectio BIA members, especially those who’ve been involved for a while, often refer to fellow members as family. Many of them have weathered storms together, partnered on projects and shared a mutual respect for contributing to the industry that’s helped shaped their lives and provided for their loved ones. There’s a reason why members continue to stay engaged with BIA, and it extends beyond the traditional benefits of insurance and business ties. For some, it’s a true family tradition. Others have

been introduced to BIA through unique connections or their employers and mentors. One unique example is BIA’s newly appointed executive vice president, Pat Durham. Durham was originally hired by John Miranda. Miranda had been hired by Bob Marrett, who was hired by Tom Sturgeon. Each of them served as active members and presidents of BIA, and each have made – and continue to make – significant contributions to the Association.

Associate members have also played an important role in the succession of legacy members of BIA. The longest standing member company is Schiller Hardware, which joined in 1946. Prudential Heating and Air followed soon after, joining in 1948. Many other companies have family legacies that are active today as well, including Fireplace Distributors, which joined in the mid-70’s and Logan Lavelle Hunt Insurance, which brought together long-standing active member families into one company.

Siblings and husband-and-wife teams also comprise BIA membership, including Joe and Rocky Pusateri (both have served as BIA presidents) with Elite Homes and former president Fred Dallenbach who is married to Donna Dusel, also a Builder member.

“It was decided that the Association would take steps to sponsor a Home Show in Louisville next spring in order to raise needed revenues for the operation of the Association,” reads minutes from a 1947 meeting of the Associated Home Builders of Louisville Home Show Committee. Since that meeting, what was originally titled the Home Show has become an iconic spring event in Louisville, dramatically growing in square footage and the number of exhibitors. In the early days of the show, there were about 110 exhibitors compared to more 300 exhibitors in the 2016 show. Other major changes have occurred since the first show was held at the old State Fairgrounds before it moved to the Armory, then to the South Wing A and East Halls of the then -named Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, to its current location in South Wings B and C. The name of the Associated Home Builders of Louisville was changed to the Home Builders Association of Louisville, and is now the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville. Dates for the event fluctu-

ated from March to April. History shows that a few of the shows took place in the fall. Even the name of the event itself took on a new moniker, The Home, Garden and Remodeling Show, to more accurately reflect the character of the show and its exhibitors. “Some of the first shows lasted nine or ten days. Of course that has changed to a three day show based on what exhibiting companies are able to do. If we did such an extended event now, a lot of companies couldn’t participate because they couldn’t close up shop that long,” says Gail Schell, BIA Vice President of Events and Operations, and the Show Director for 25 years. At the 1948 show, chances were sold for 25 cents each to win a model home in the Parkside subdivision of St. Matthews. The project was to benefit the Pilot Club of Louisville’s charity fund. Extensive coverage in a 1957 edition of The Courier-Journal, preserved in BIA archives, recounts that 1952 was the first year a model house was built at the show. The article goes on to may 2016 21

“For consumers, the trustworthiness of the show is key. People buy from people. They can shop all day online but at the show they can shake hands and get a feel for who they’re going to do business with. Our exhibitors are educated and knowledgeable and love to pass that along. And attendees appreciate that we don’t have companies that hire college kids to take down names and leave. The owners work their spaces. - Gail Schell, Show Producer

Attendees from 2013

say that the 1957 show featured a house that represented “the new style trend of split level homes.” After the show, the house was moved to Roselawn subdivision near Bowman Field. An advertisement for the show states there were 250 exhibitors and a “playtime kiddieland.” The price of admission was fifty cents.

“The show is a great opportunity to provide a natural connection between the services and programs we offer our customers and the relationships we have with the building community.” - Liz Pratt, LG&E Public Relations Specialist

Photographs of some of the early shows depict entire families 22 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

of visitors, often with men dressed in suits and women in hats and gloves. Schell attributes the long-running success of the show to its being an inexpensive platform that exhibitors use as an affordable marketing tool and the event’s wide appeal to the public. She says that in the last six or seven years national talent has been brought in for seminars and presentations, but adds that BIA considers local flair to be essential to the show. Many exhibitors return year after year. LG&E was an exhibitor before becoming a sponsor. “In my first year working at the show, we had an ‘unruly’ exhibitor, Kentucky Satellite Systems, which was playing music too loudly in their home theater set up. I had to ask them to lower the volume,” says Schell. Not only did the exhibitor lower the music, Schell ended up marrying him. Both business and love flourish at The Home, Garden & Remodeling Show!

Registered Builders Mark Simpson and Jeremy Esposito spoke to the third grade classes at Maryville Elementary on March 4. This Bullitt County Public School held a College and Career Week the first week of March and invited professionals from a variety of occupations to speak to the students. Mark and Jeremy explained various job opportunities in the building industry as well as different pathways to be successful in this field, such as college majors and on-the-job training. The students listened intently and had many questions for the two experienced Builders. Mark and Jeremy are members of the BIA’s Workforce Development Committee, which formed to help address the shortage of skilled workers in our industry. One of the missions of this Committee is to visit schools to inform students and teachers about the many career opportunities available in the building trades.
