Bickimer Inducted Into Past Presidents Club
Each year those who have served as president of the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City gather for dinner to induct the most recent past president into their circle. This year’s inductee was Tommy Bickimer of Bickimer Homes. During dinner last month at Silo in Lenexa, Kevin Kirtley of K&E Flatwork, last year’s inductee, presented Bickimer with a Past President medal and pin. Several attendees thanked Tommy for his commitment to creating the Builders Council and to the Home Builders Charitable Foundation. And a couple could not let Tommy forget how he unintentionally forgot to thank his wife, Julie, at his inauguration!
Congratulations Tommy!

KCPWB Presents an Enchanted Evening in Wonderland for 2023 Fundraiser
The Professional Women in Building’s third annual Bottle & Barrel Bash fundraiser was held at Drexel Hall on Aug. 24. This year’s theme centered on the world of Alice in Wonderland. Over 200 guests were in attendance to enjoy the festivities, including a DJ, themed drinks and virtual silent auction. All tickets included a bottle of wine or liquor to take home. Guests plucked a numbered rose and took the corresponding bottle from the display.
Congratulations to Susan Hearn (Schlage Locks/Allegion) and Kerrie Coggins-Beller (United Fidelity Funding) for winning the costume contest for the night and each taking home a $25 Nick and Jake’s gift card. The winner of the teacup game raffle took home a designer light fixture from Crossroads Linear (valued at $1,656).

Top Ten Tips for 2021 IECC Energy Code Compliance
The compliance process is going to be an ongoing series of trade offs and each builder is going to have different strategies based on their specific floor plans. The KCHBA sat down with an energy rater and compiled the information below to assist builders with passing the new code requirements using Performance HERS compliance.
Work with KCHBA Member Energy Rater
96% Furnace paired with 17 SEER A/C
2x6 Exterior Walls
All Basement Walls Insulated. Consider R-19, 2x4 stud walls with gab from foundation to achieve R-19 batts
12 | KCHBA.ORG | SEPTEMBER ISSUE
Air changes at or below 3.0
Mechanical ventilation in every house. Air cycler systems will not work, one option is a balanced ERV (though there are other options)
Windows with a U-Factor of 0.25 or better
All attic ducts covered with insulation
Duct leakage not to exceed 8% of house square footage
Hot Water Tanks – Gas greater or equal to EF 0.82; Electric EF 0.96
Disclaimer: This does not represent the full scope of options to achieve the standards required to satisfy the 2021 IECC. Builders will have various options to update their plans when following the “performance path” as it allows more innovation and creativity at the design stage. This graphic was compiled to start the conversation between the builder, the energy rater, and the design professional.

Building Connections: The Crucial Role of Networking During a Downturn
The talk of a recession is unavoidable and something those in the homebuilding industry are unfortunately familiar with. When it comes to analyzing business expenses during or in anticipation of an uncertain economy, marketing and communications expenses are usually one of the first items to be downsized. John Quelch and Katherine Jocz from the Harvard Business Review caution this approach. “As sales start to drop, businesses typically cut costs, reduce prices and postpone new investments. Marketing expenditures in areas from communications to research are often slashed across the board—but such indiscriminate cost cutting is a mistake.”
It’s important to contain and examine expenses, but failing to provide needed support to your brand and business in a downturn can jeopardize performance over the long term. “Companies that put customer needs under the microscope, take a scalpel rather than a cleaver to the marketing budget, and nimbly adjust strategies, tactics and product offerings in response to shifting demand are more likely than others to flourish both during and after a
recession,” explain Quelch and Jocz. A recession is a logical time to look for ways to cut costs and lower overhead, but this isn’t the time to make any major changes to your marketing strategy. “Don’t use a recession as an opportunity to rebrand or make any significant changes to your company name or business model,” advises Jamie Johnson with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “Making significant changes is unlikely to bring in new customers; it will likely just confuse your current customer base and cause you to lose sales.” As difficult as it may be, remind yourself recessions don’t last forever and focus on consistency with an eye to the future.
Maintaining your crowd of supporters is key during a downturn. “Hanging onto your current customers should be your primary goal during a recession,” according to Johnson. “Marketing to your existing customers is more effective and less expensive than trying to find new ones. During a recession, a loyal customer can be one of your business’s biggest assets.”
14 | KCHBA.ORG | SEPTEMBER ISSUE
While staying consistent with your image and overall marketing strategy, there are ways to expand your outreach and industry knowledge.
“Content marketing is an excellent, low-cost way to continue to market your business.,” states Johnson. “When you create informative and relevant content to engage your target audience, instead of selling to your audience, you’re providing value to them. Over time, many of these individuals will become loyal customers.”
A quiet time for the business is also an opportunity to invest in professional development and training. Look for education and training that will benefit you in the future. Focusing a bit more on potential skill and knowledge gaps while keeping an eye on industry trends can accelerate growth at a quicker pace after a downturn.
The KCHBA is your association, here to support you and your business and provide resources through uncertain times.

Who’s Doing Business with Members?
The KCHBA’s Membership Committee is looking to identify gaps in membership. To do so, the committee asked our builder members to list their trade partners in a pre-loaded Excel spreadsheet to earn rewards. A big thank you goes to the 22 builder members that submitted their list of partners
All 22 builders will receive $100 in KCHBA cash they can use in any way they want. Ten of the builders will receive 50 percent off their next Parde of Homes entry for having at least 60 percent of their trade partners as KCHBA members. And congratulations goes to Crestwood Custom Homes and Willis Custom Homes for doing business with the largest number of KCHBA trade partners with 69 percent membership.

Steady Building Activity Through Summer
The pace of new-home construction in the region has remained largely stable this summer despite rising mortgage rates and construction financing costs, according to statistics compiled by the KCHBA. In July 378 permits were issued, which is almost identical to June when 373 permits were issued.
Kansas City, Mo., leads the list of top-permitting cities with 69 single-family homes, although that number has decreased significantly the last few months. Olathe ranks second with 47 units, followed by Overland Park with 35. Lee’s Summit and Gardner both had 22 single-family permits issued in July.
