FROM THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
Home Builders Association Wins Two Important National Awards
T
he Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky (HBA) received two awards from the National Association of Homes Builders (NAHB). According to NAHB’s website, “The Association Excellence Awards is an annual program designed to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of state and local HBAs and executive officers in the field of association management.” The awards represented achievements for “Best Council Development” for the association’s creation and growth of its Commercial Council in 2016 and “Best Workforce Development Program” for the association’s new pilot High School Introduction to Construction Trades courses. Awards can only be given in each category once every three years unless significant changes and advances have been made in that category. "For the second year in a row NAHB has chosen our local association among the best in 20 categories awarded to the top of our 800 local associations from across the nation," said Brian Miller, Executive Vice President of the organization. “We have never achieved back to back multiple award wins since 1993-1994. We believe this recognition is a sign of how vibrant and innovative our association is to solve the issues our members face every day and how we are constantly retooling to strengthen our membership and represent the breadth of the entire construction sector. What’s more, this is the seventh time we have been recognized for our efforts in workforce development over the past eight years. We are constantly evolving our efforts in this area and by garnering many accolades in a short time span we believe we are on the cutting edge of construction workforce development among our counterparts across the country. We are extremely proud of the work that our members and staff have teamed up to accomplish and look for many outstanding years of achievements in the future,” Miller concluded. The Commercial Council was established to represent the commercial component of the construction sector. The Council is led by a guidance committee made up of commercial builder/developers and support companies. In 2016, the Council concluded an incentive/ business barrier study of all municipalities in Northern Kentucky, have developed an Endangered Species Mitigation Bank model, worked with SD1 to open areas to development and keep current areas open, and created quarterly business networking events that focus on commercial projects around Northern Kentucky. The Introduction to Construction Trades High School pilot program placed 55 high school students in basic carpentry, electric, plumbing and heating, ventilation and air conditioning courses during the 2016-2017 school year. Students were introduced to the beginning learning concepts of the trades in hopes that they would find a career path in the skilled construction trades. Participating school systems included Boone County Schools, Ludlow High School and the Northern Kentucky Educational Cooperative Service. According to NAHB’s website, “The Association Excellence Awards is an annual program designed to recognize the outstanding 4

accomplishments of state and local HBAs and executive officers in the field of association management. These outstanding entries also serve as valuable case studies for HBA executive officers and their staff interested in pursuing similar programs.” An HBA cannot win any award in the same category but once every three years unless substantial changes have been made to the program. The mission of the Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky is to promote and enhance the integrity and visibility of the construction industry and the members of the organization through advocacy, communication, education and political action.

Home Builders Association to Change its Name to Building Industry Association of Northern Kentucky
T
he Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky (HBA) has celebrated the fact it has changed its name to the Building Industry Association of Northern Kentucky (BIA) after 62 years at the BIA Signature Event Family BBQ, June 29, 2017 at Freedom Park in Edgewood, Kentucky. “Our association has been largely made up of companies that support the construction industry since very soon after our founding in 1955; not just Registered Builders. Registered Remodelers have grown as a portion of our membership in the last 20 years. More recently, the growth of our Commercial Council has emphasized a need to realign our name with the individuals and companies we represent. In fact, only 14 percent of our association’s membership are actual builders, remodelers or developers; considered “builder” members of our organization,”
said Brian Miller, Executive Vice President of the BIA. “We have had dialogue regarding a name change for a few years and when we thought we had consensus we announced our thoughts at our Past Presidents luncheon in January of this year. It was well received. With over 30 Past Presidents in attendance we didn’t know what their reaction would be but we perceived practically unanimous support. That afternoon was our Board of Directors meeting. A motion was made to change our name and it unanimously passed,” Miller concluded. There are 800 associations within the National Association of home Builders Federation. Of the 100 largest builders associations in the country 53 are named Home Builders Association. 27 are named Builders Association and 16 are named Building Industry Association. There will be more information to come in upcoming issues of the NKY Builder magazine.

HELP HONK TODAY – DONATE $25 IN HONOR OF THEIR 25th YEAR!
Written by Steven Lutkenhoff
A
nail here, a board there, a couple doors, a few cabinets, plus laminate and carpeting and . . ., well you get the idea, we have a new house! In our 25th year of service to our Northern Kentucky communities, we are completing our 34th new house. Having also rehabbed 83 homes, HONK is very proud of our accomplishments these past 25 years. In addition to the Dell St. house that the HBA is helping to build, we completed the Spring St. (Elsmere) renovation and are currently working on two other houses (nearly completed). Our commitment to making affordable homes available to low income working families will continue during this 25th anniversary year with the recent acquisition of three houses needing lots of rehabilitation (and lots of skilled help). In addition to volunteer labor and donated materials we are campaigning for monetary donations. Give a dollar a year – that is, give $25.00 for 25 years of service. Reach out today to see how you can volunteer! Please call David or Steve at 859-581-4665 or go to Housing Opportunities of Northern Kentucky at www.honkhomes.org. Thanks for supporting HONK. 6

Cavalcade of Homes Wrap Up
T
Written by Angela Foster
he 2017 Cavalcade of Homes sponsored by Drees Homes took place on the traditional dates of the first three weekends in May. For over 20 years, the HBA has produced Cavalcade. This scattered-site home show has given consumers the opportunity to view the best homes on the market. Given the number of homes, it’s easy to understand the need for three weekends. The 2017 show was blessed with 19 new home entries. All communication has indicated fantastic results from the Builders, with each home reaching record-high attendance! The HBA believes the success in part is due to the amount of people who visit the website and the induction of technology. HBA offers a mobile app for each home show. The show apps not only give navigational driving directions to each entry, but also allow the users to go directly to the Builder’s website by clicking on their logo. The apps can be downloaded on the HBA website.
The 19 homes were proudly presented by: • Arlinghaus Builders • Ashley Construction • The B.O.L.D. Company • Cullen Brothers • Cutter Construction, Inc. • Drees Homes • EGC Construction • Gustin Construction, Inc. • Potterhill Homes • Spille Builders & Developers Inc. • Toebben Builders • Tim Burks Builder Inc.

ENZWEILER INSTITUTE
NORTHERN KENTUCKY REGIONAL CONSTRUCTION PARTNERSHIP
T
he Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky (HBA) through its Enzweiler Building Institute and partners including Boone County Schools, Kenton County Board of Education, Campbell County Schools, Ludlow Independent Schools, Northern Kentucky Educational Cooperative Services, Boone County and Campbell County Area Technology Centers and Gateway Community and Technical College have been awarded $2,690,000 to address the workforce gap in the construction trades in Northern Kentucky. Brian Miller, Executive Vice President of the HBA that operates the Enzweiler Building Institute and lead applicant said, "We would like to thank the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet and the Kentucky Work Ready Skills Initiative Advisory Committee for addressing workforce shortages in five economic sectors in the Commonwealth. We are experiencing the greatest need for skilled construction trades people since immediately following World War II. In our region, we will need over 46,500 of these future professionals working in core components of construction in the next ten years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That doesn’t even account for the many roofers, flooring installers, landscapers, and other trades people that install and build other components of construction. Regionally, we are experiencing a lack of brick and mortar capacity to address the need and are thankful for our partners and those involved with Governor Bevin’s Initiative so that we can make positive headway in training skilled construction trades people and getting them to work. In the coming years as our aging workforce retires we will have a great need to fill management and ownership positions in our industry. Want-to-be entrepreneurs in our region need to seriously investigate the construction trades as a place to plant their flag to takeover start and build construction companies,” Miller concluded. “The Boone County School district is thrilled to be a partner in this 12

innovative regional approach to address an education gap for our students who wish to pursue a career in the skilled trades. By working with the Home Builders Association, as well as the other partner districts, we will be on the cutting edge of skilled trades training. This will mean better career awareness and education options for many of our students who would otherwise not have the chance to enhance their career readiness,” noted Dr. Randy Poe, Superintendent of Boone County Schools. Tom Arnzen, Director of Student Engagement, The Kenton County School District echoed Poe’s excitement. “These funds address the region’s workforce gap by allowing more student opportunities through expansion of their current program through this private industry driven initiative. Without this expansion, fewer of our students would be trained and the gap would grow - leading to a potential future housing crisis. With these grant funds, it provides our students with additional opportunities (not just university track) in a skilled labor career track for jobs that are available now, and in the future. They can be the construction trades entrepreneurs of the future and add to the region’s job creation; not just jobs, but well-paying careers for a tremendous return on investment,” said Arnzen. “I am beyond thrilled with the opportunities this grant provides for Campbell County and Northern Kentucky in terms of addressing the current gaps in our workforce; specifically, in the construction trades. I am a firm believer in the importance of building strong partnerships that yield high end results to benefit the community. This grant will certainly open new doors for both students and adults, allowing them to be more competitive and productive like never before,” said Dr. David Rust, Superintendent of Campbell County Schools. “The Work Ready Skills Initiative will leave a lasting impact across our region, and as a school superintendent, I couldn’t be more pleased with this important investment being made in the future of Kentucky students,” Rust

Concluded. Mike Borchers, Superintendent of Ludlow Independent Schools agreed, “The Kentucky Work Ready Skills Initiative grant will allow the Home Builders Association to work collaboratively with local districts to offer more programs that will prepare our students for the workforce. As a region, we understand that the unmet need for these programs must be addressed and we have students who have an interest and desire to work in the construction industry.” The funding will be used to expand the Enzweiler Building Institute to include a masonry lab, welding lab and heavy diesel mechanics for construction lab. The existing carpentry shop will double in size. A large events center will include accordion walls and repurposed to subdivide the space into four separate classrooms. The building will be renovated to accommodate heavy traffic flows for upsized attendance. Technology will be installed throughout the Institute including large smart boards, television displays and state of the art projection systems. A new website for the regional partnership will be launched through the funds as will top end education software to integrate students, administration and instructors. As a result, expanded areas of instruction will be made available to the Boone County Area Technology Center in plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), carpentry and masonry. An abandoned pod of the retired Alexandria Elementary School in Campbell County will be renovated to accommodate adult evening instruction to become the Enzweiler Building Institute’s Campbell County Campus. Six classrooms will be improved including plumbing and HVAC classrooms that will be shared by both daytime High School students, adult evening learners and allow for expanded programming for the Campbell County Area Technology Center. Other classrooms will be upgraded to provide introduction to construction courses for High School students,
including a shared learning lab that will allow for floor to roof building systems to be erected indoors. Further adult evening programming of the Enzweiler Building Institute will be supplied materials and equipment at the Campbell County Area Technology Center. Identical technology upgrades will be included that are to be installed in the Enzweiler Building Institute’s main campus. Students graduating from Enzweiler Building Institute’s HVAC courses currently receive credit at Gateway Career and Technical College towards an associates degree. Programming portions of the partnership will eventually create dual credit for all the Institute’s courses and for dual credit from High School Area Technology Centers to the Institute’s evening programming as an effort outlined in the grant.

The project is expected to be completed in time for the 2018-2019 school year. Enrollment is now open for the 2017-2018 school year.

ELECTRICAL PROGRAM ANNOUNCES ARTICULATION AGREEMENT WITH GATEWAY COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE
A
fter several months of hard work and identifying the strengths of the two programs the Enzweiler Building Institute and Gateway Community and Technical College are pleased to announce the creation of an articulation agreement between the two programs.HBA Executive Director commented, “This agreement will allow graduates of our program to earn 39 hours of college credit,” “This meets many of the goals of the governor’s dual credit education systems.” Miller added “This offering is a real win for the industry, which needs to grow its workforce by 2,500 new jobs in Greater Cincinnati and replace an anticipated 42,000 workers, managers and company owners that are due to retire in the next 10 years.” Shawn Cox, Director of Professional Development commented “As we look to build partnerships and the visibility and viability of our programs and industry this is a great way for our graduates to take that next step in their education. This is a true ‘win,win,win’ for our programs, for Gateway and our students. We hope our graduates will take advantage of this outstanding opportunity to attend Gateway upon completion of their studies here and enroll in their courses that will equip them to be the managers and company owners we will need in the very near future.” The HBA would like to especially like to thank the following from Gateway for their efforts in bringing this agreement to fruition: Dr. Fernando Figueroa – President, Carissa Schutzman – Vice President of Workforce Solutions, Dr. Teri Vonhandorf – Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dee Wright Associate Professor Dean of Manufacturing and Engineering Technologies 14

Home control systems are supposed to make things easier and standard features of new homes. create a more connected lifestyle but I constantly see people scratching their heads because now it’s not as simple as just flipping a light switch.” Illuminating and safe As a result, Miller says he increasingly finds that Therefore, clients While homeowners initially want smart entertainment systems, home want a way to tie all of their devices into one easy to use interface. security and smart temperature controls place a close second. “As a client leaves their home, hands full with a diaper bag and A 2016 report from August Home and Comcast’s Xfinity Home includes survey results that indicate as many as 30 million households – pumpkin seat or kids lunch boxes and their kids sports equipment, they want one button to press to turn off the lights, turn off the TV’s in the about a quarter of the 124 million homes in America – in the U.S. are house, lower the blinds and arm the security system,” says Miller. “Without poised to add home-focused smart tech over the next 12 months. As many as 63% of the survey’s participants indicated that security the use of an integrated control system, this would require a minimum of was at near the top of the list of motivations behind their interest in smart four devices or four apps. Clients are now more than ever asking for one button or one app to do all of these task.” home technologies. 16

The right ‘touch’ Dave Dressler, Division Manager of Keidel Supply, Inc., serves his share of in-demand features for homeowners looking for that special tech ‘touch.’ As plumbing products go, he says touch or sensor activated faucets are popular. Control of new tech faucets occur by either a wave of the hand or a touch on the faucet body. And, he says, manufacturers have broadened their offerings so as to maintain the design influence within a given space, so as to be consistent with the traditional or modern elements within the home. “These products are easily incorporated into current kitchen design and they require very little additional installation and concern,” says Dressler. Kohler, he says, is among the manufacturers that are offering digitally controlled shower systems which, in addition to controlling the spray types within the shower can incorporate lighting and audio elements as well. As for lighting products, Dressler says manufacturers such as Legrand offer under cabinet lighting systems that have capacities beyond light. Some systems begin with a sleek rail that incorporates outlets, docking ports, and Bluetooth speakers. And appliances can completely the experience of household chores like cooking and laundry. “Many manufacturers use menu choices to control their ovens,” says Dressler. “The user answers questions appearing on a screen -- sometimes those questions are accompanied by a picture – to determine what they want to cook, the wellness desired, and when the preparation needs to be served.” And many laundry machines are now designed to take the guess work out of measurements, automatically adding the appropriate amount of detergent and softener. All wired up During the design phase of any new home, Dave Miller says the number one question he’s asked is, “Isn’t everything pretty much wireless now?”” “I cannot stress how important it is to pull wire throughout a new home
and not rely on wireless technology,” he says. “Wireless devices are convenient and easy to install, but that’s where the benefits end. Wireless devices are less reliable, not as quick to respond and less secure. If I don’t have to plug into your house to connect to it, I can do that from the street. This opens up all of the wireless technology to the neighbor next door. There’s just nothing better than a strand of copper connecting two devices. It will almost always work, they almost never fall off the network and they never have dead batteries.” Ultimately, Miller says the biggest factor for people as they determine what they want in their home is cost. “I’m in the business of selling things everyone wants but nothing they need. To have a system that isn’t just a bunch of wireless widgets inside the home with an app for each one but none of them intercommunicating, comes at a price. However, a properly design and commissioned control system is something a client will use every day and they’ll get to where they don’t want to live without it,” says Miller. “I can say with confidence that what I install in a client’s home will get used more on a daily basis than anything else in their home. There is nothing that will get more use, I can assure you of that.” To be sure, Dave Dressler says, there are efficiencies that are appreciated when using smart tech – less manipulation of controls, repeatability of preprograms, less decision-making or calculating of preparation times, and desirable amenities, such as music, incorporated into a non-related apparatus. The next wave of tech Dressler says he may well lack the imagination for the next trends or indemand smart tech features, but ventures to guess that it’s simply waiting for someone to apply smart tech to another manual task that we perform in our day-to-day lives. “Voice interface rather than digital interface of some of the existing smart tech programs will probably be an enhancement that we see in the near future,” says Dressler. 07/2017

$2.69M GRANT WILL FUND EFFORTS TO SHRINK NKY’S WORKFORCE GAP IN CONSTRUCTION TRADES
Written by Vicki Prichard
T
o understand the full impact of the recent $2.69 million grant awarded to HBANKY from Kentucky’s Work Study Skills Initiative Funding, one need only do the math. The construction economic sector requires nearly 5,000 new and replacement workers per year, particularly in construction trades — specifically licensed trades — whereas current enrollment in construction trades training is under 700 individuals. Suffice it to say, this grant can be a game-changer in educating a skilled workforce and avert a potential economic crisis. Funds from the grant will be used to rehabilitate, repurpose, expand, and equip the Enzweiler Building Institute and rehabilitate and equip a second location which is an unused, closed elementary school building in Alexandria on 10 Orchard Lane. In operation since 1967, the Enzweiler Building Institute is the longest running, continually operating trade school in the nation under the auspices of the National Home Builders Association. Courses taught include electric, HVAC, carpentry, masonry, plumbing, facilities maintenance, and welding. Classes are taught by professional trades’ people from September through April. The grant will also provide for materials that will be purchased for adult evening trades training at the Campbell County High School Area Technology Center in Alexandria, and will ultimately increase participation in the construction trades, specifically licensed trades throughout the region.
Constructing a new skilled workforce “We are currently experiencing the greatest shortage of construction workers since immediately following WWII, when our military returned from overseas to form households,” says Brian Miller, executive vice president of the Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky. Miller says throughout the next decade the largest shift in construction company ownership and management will occur as current managers and owners age. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Cincinnati/ NKY Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), it is estimated that construction trades will need to grow their workforce in the seven core construction trades by more than 5000. 22

“But the overwhelming number”, says Miller,” is the estimated number of vacancies that will emerge as an aging workforce retires.” That figure, he says, is more than 41,000, which means more than 46,000 individuals must be trained in the core components of construction trades to fill those vacancies. He points out that that number does not include flooring, roofing, window/ door installation, landscaping, and more, but rather carpentry, electric, HVAC, facilities maintenance, masonry, plumbing and welding. “The need for skilled workers in construction,” says Miller, “is greater than that of the manufacturers, but one wouldn’t know that by absorbing the news. Large companies in big building can make a loud sound and it is easy for them to get attention. Our folks are mostly small companies spread out all over the region who rely upon us to cast the message for their needs,” says Miller. As for factors that might have contributed to the current shortage of a skilled construction workforce, Miller offers a few insights, and among them has been an ongoing emphasis on four-year degreed education, and that, he points out, isn’t the only route to success. “The benchmark has been either a four-year degree, or else you are marked as unsuccessful,” says Miller. “There are many students that learn by doing and don’t function well in a traditional delivery classroom setting — they must have time on task, using their hands and watching things get done; that is how they learn.” He also points out that career readiness educators must check boxes to comply with mandates, and as such, it is far easier to create a classroom for Microsoft Office certifications than it is to spend money on table saws, band saws, nailers, risk injury and pay for a skilled instructor in a dedicated, messy space. And public perception about the trade itself hasn’t necessarily helped matters. “Construction trades have been looked down on in our recent culture,” says Miller. “In Europe, a skilled carpenter is revered like any other artist that works with their hands. That is not the case here.” And finally, he says, the recession put the proverbial “nail in the coffin” for many traditional vocational schools. “Already the dumping ground for ‘problem students,’ it was easy to cut programming when the demand for construction bottomed out,” says Miller. “Those spaces have been filled with other instruction such as health care, advanced manufacturing, and IT.”
“Incredible” opportunities ahead But times are changing, and the future for individuals skilled in construction trades looks “very bright.” Miller points out that according to the USBLS, the mean wage for the trades that HBANKY instructs through the Enzweiler Building Institute and its partners is $42,320 and $50,060. A proposal to establish business and management courses will train a workforce for even higher wages. “Part of our proposal is to articulate with Gateway Community and Technical college and help them create evening based entrepreneurship and management courses,” says Miller. “This would allow our adult learners, who already are 100 percent placed with employers in our Enzweiler Building Industry, to learn management and business skills.” And with the pending mass retirement of company managers and owners, the entrepreneurial possibilities in construction trades is “incredible.” “The mean wage for construction managers is a little north of $90,000. You may go work for Mubea or Mazak, but chances are you are not going to be the CEO. You can learn a trade, work up the ranks and own your own construction company,” says Miller. “The barriers in our industry are far less. Some of the wealthiest people in Greater Cincinnati have no high school degree and found their place in construction.” Construction 101 Students in programs like Kenton County Schools’ Construction 101 program may well taking the first steps on the path to entrepreneurial wealth. The program began with the construction of the school district’s new Turkey Foot Middle School and is currently taking place at Woodland Middle School in Fort Wright. Students from fourth through eighth grades meet with design consultants, contractors, and district staff, engaged to complete the renovation project at Scott High School. “The students meet with architects, electrical engineers, facility commissioning agents, mechanical balancing contractors, electricians, and masons,” says Tom Arnzen, Director of Behavior Support and Student Engagement with Kenton County Schools. “They were able to participate in construction of an ICF wall and install brick on the exterior of the building. Students regularly visit the sites for hard hat tours so they can see the construction progress as it happens.”
Without the expansion, says Arnzen, fewer students would be trained and the gap would widen, leading to a potential future housing crisis. “With these grant funds, it provides our students with traditional opportunities — not just a university — in a skilled labor career track for jobs that are available now, and in the future. They can be the construction trades entrepreneurs of the future and add to the region’s job creation — not just jobs, but well-paying careers for a tremendous return on investment,” says Arnzen. Expanding opportunities More money means more students, and the funds will expand opportunities for an increased number of students to engage in hands-on opportunities. Currently, Ludlow Independent Schools sends three students to the HBNKY Pilot Program in Boone County Schools. “There have been very limited opportunities in high school prior to this school year for students in all Kenton County School Districts,” he says. Over the last few years, Ludlow Independent Schools did not have a program that was available for its students to be trained in construction trades. The $2.69 million grant will create and expand opportunities, says Mike Borchers, Superintendent of Ludlow Independent Schools. “We have been working towards offering students opportunities during high school that will assist them in their post-secondary endeavors,” says Borchers. “This grant will allow the HBANKY to widen their reach in our region and expand the current program. The data shows that there is going to be a strong demand for this profession, and allowing our student the opportunity to learn about the different trades while they are in high school is extremely positive for our students and the region as a whole.” Ultimately, the grant will be a game-changer in positioning a new skilled workforce to take advantage of a future full of opportunities. “In simple terms, the grant will allow the HBANKY to offer a larger program which will allow for more student opportunities which will result in a better prepared workforce in the skilled construction trade.”
