The public had the opportunity to visit homes throughout the triad over twoweekends. As always, this event gave builders and real estate agents many opportunities to meet potential buyers and answer their questions. The variety of entries offered the latest amenities including fire pits and extraordinary outdoor living spaces, as well as forward thinking architectural details.

The 2010 Spring Parade Association Home in Milburn hosted the Open House Breakfast on April 29. This magnificient home provides the buyers with a dual fireplace in the dining/living areas, large screened deck overlooking an expansive lot dotted with large trees, built-in shelves with graceful lighting, and a gorgeous master bedroom with shower/garden tub and walk-in closet.

The Open House Breakfast & Tour gave HBAWS, WSRAR & WSMBA members the opportunity to view Parade homes and network along the way.

Special thanks to Buck Horn Construction for building this year’s Spring Parade Home as one of the fundraising events for our association. Much appreciation to event Chair Angela Kalamaras & Co-Chair Ron Ricci, participating builders, listing agents, committee members and all who made this event a success!

President’s Message Rich Achor – ARENA Builders

Building House and Building Dreams May 2010…Spring Parade of Homes….seemed like a futuristic time only a few months back.

The house is full of visitors; couples, families, neighbors, groups of two, three and four women, the comments are positive, the questions are telling, the mood is positive (am I dreaming? If so don’t wake me up!) This is the picture around me as I write this note in my mind. I am at my entry into the 2010 Winston Salem Homebuilders Spring Parade of Homes. It feels good to be “back in the game” to talk with people excited about new construction, to discuss decorating trends, to explain the benefits and costs of Energy Star and Green construction.

Traffic the first weekend is good, realistically not 2006 good, but certainly better than anything we have seen since. Is everyone a buyer? No, they never have been. Are some of the people beginning to become “friends” because they have shown up at Parades and prior festival entries of ours so many times you remember their names? Yes. Am I having fun? YES! Does this positive Spring Parade mean we can collectively exhale after holding our breath wondering if we will survive? No. It means we have an opportunity. How we handle the opportunity will determine how we remember 2010’s Spring Parade.

Did you take any names? Have you followed up with any of the visitors? Have you developed a new relationship with a vendor that grows your business?

Is 2010 better for you than 2009? For most of us that answer is yes. Now the question is what does that mean? Do we go back to what we used to do? Do we continue exactly as we have for the past couple of years? Do we readjust? Evaluate your situation, adjust your plan, and act.

As things get healthier, we need to remember to also get healthier. What do you do to relax? What do you do to give back? Is your personal house in order?

Some of us dream of time on the golf course, if you are one of them, hopefully you found time to join us for our spring outing. Some of us dream of sitting on the beach, reading a book. Some of us can’t wait to get to that mountain bike and the trails. Whatever it is you long for, remember to find a reasonable amount of time to actually do it. If you have survived this economic period you are probably a type “A” personality, which unfortunately means you probably dream of golf, the beach, the mountains, whatever, but actually find it next to impossible to justify actually going/doing the dream. We all have heard of or even know the businessman/woman who toiled 6 or 7 days a week for 40+ years to achieve their business dream, decided it was time to chase their relaxation dream, only to have the big guy call their number within a single moon’s cycle. They got the work hard part right, they just got lost in the play hard part.

I love building houses, I get a thrill out of seeing the excitement in a family’s faces as they walk thru a new house envisioning their life there, I enjoy the challenge of working out the opportunities that come up putting that paper plan on/in the ground and making it a reality. Maybe I like it almost too much, if given the chance to follow my relaxation dream or talking to a potential home owner, planning the next steps on a house, reviewing that potential neighborhood, I always lean toward the building dream and not the relaxation dream. Thankfully I have “an ace in the hole” making sure that the relaxation side gets some attention, my wife lets me know it is time to step away, time to go play. Thank God for her, hopefully each of you have someone to help you find balance, maybe it is your mother, if so May is for Mother’s day…to all of you who are Mother’s –thank you and best wishes!

Whoever it is that brings you balance, find them, listen to them, thank them and then sneak back to the office to work on that next project.

New Traditional design in Brookberry Farm 2010 Fall Parade Association Home

The 2010 Parade Association Home is underway on Lot 246, Brookberry Farm! The footings have been dug and framing is starting to pop up on the New Traditional design being built by Keith and Mark Rogers of Keith Rogers Homes, Inc. “Brookberry Farm is the perfect location for an Association Home, with great amenities and a close in location.”, according to Keith Rogers.

Lee Ross of Prudential Carolinas Realty will market the home in the mid $500 range.

The design is focused on main level living with the Master suite on the first floor and approximately 3340 SF on a full basement. The dramatic 12 foot ceilings in the great room and open kitchen design serve as the central hub for casual living. Indoor/ outdoor relationships abound with the transition from the central living area to the screen porch and deck.

The corner location provides a unique and functional homesite with a two car main level garage and a single car garage in the basement.

The home will be Energy Star and NAHB Green certified assuring the homeowner that the home will not only be elegant, but was built with respect for the environment and efficiency. Benefits for the consumer will include lower utility costs to operate, lower water

bills, more efficient heating and air conditioning operation, less air infiltration, less off gassing from interior materials, a water garden to mitigate site drainage, and landscaping designed to take advantage of our regional needs.

Association member help and support for this project is always appreciated! Plans are available for review at the HBA office. Participation in the project through discounts and donations provides marketing exposure in addition to helping the HBA raise funds for operations. It’s a good way to give back!

From its inception in 1987, the annual construction of the Association Home has been an important activity of the Home Builders Association of WinstonSalem. The annual project is a vital fundraiser for the Association, and an excellent opportunity for members to showcase their goods and services.

ASSOCIATE GUEST COLUMN

Rick Busch, Busch Insurance/Builders Mutual Insurance Co. When you join the Home Builders Association of Winston Salem you receive many benefits. You instantly have representation in the legislative process, a local staff of professionals to help coordinate committee activities, membership meetings and so very many other things that happen behind the scenes for your benefit, and the opportunity to meet and network with other local business owners who are involved in the construction industry.

You also become eligible to do business with Builders Mutual Insurance Company. This doesn’t mean you are automatically acceptable to BMIC for coverage, but you can get a review from a Builders Mutual agent and possibly a proposal for coverage.

Builders Mutual Insurance Company began as a specialty provider of Workers Compensation for Home Builders and Trades Contractors in the early 1980’s.

They were chartered for the sole purpose of providing a line of insurance protection for you as a construction specialist. They have expanded their product offerings to include general liability, property, builder’s risk coverage and business auto insurance.

Like your association membership, a business relationship with Builders Mutual provides many benefits;

tion of the Board of Directors).

• Exceptional Loss Control Services. BMIC has a team of dedicated professionals who want to help you create a safe work environment. This is not the adversarial relationship offered by some other insurance companies. These folks are “dedicated” to helping you at the jobsite level.

Probably the biggest and best benefit of having your insurance program with Builders Mutual Insurance Company is the peace of mind you receive by having your interest protected by an insurance company that understands very clearly what you do for a living.

Construction is all Builders Mutual does; Residential GC’s, Commercial GC’s, Trade Contractors, Building Supply and more.

Builders Mutual Insurance Company welcomes the opportunity to provide your business with a competitive proposal for coverage.

Rick Busch has been working with local builders and tradesmen since 1988. He has worked with Builders Mutual Insurance Company since they began doing business in North Carolina.

Busch Insurance

• Very competitive workers compensation rates offering in some cases a monthly payroll and premium payment reporting option. (Rates are in many cases lower than competitors, but are set with the long term viability of providing WC protection for its policyholders).

• Package policies that include general liability, property and BUSINESS AUTO. (The Builders Mutual of today is not the Builders Mutual of five years ago. Auto rates are now very competitive).

• A Builders Risk policy written either on a “Single Shot” or monthly reporting basis.

• The possibility of earning a dividend at the end of the year. (Dividends are declared at the discre10

Lead Renovation, Repair & Painting Certification classes...

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: Lead-Safe Work Practices, Strategies for Implementing Work Practices, Documentation and Recordkeeping Requirements.



In 2008 the US EPA announced new rules for contractors who renovate or repair housing, childcare facilities or schools built before 1978. Under the new rules, contractors and workers must have documented training and practice lead-safe work practices to reduce potential lead exposures during renovation and repair activities.

The requirements apply to anyone, such as painters, plumbers, electricians, and contractors, who could potentially expose children to lead dust during their work.

DATE STILL OPEN:

MAY 27

8-hour EPA approved course will certify participants for the new Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (Lead Renovators) training requirements. REQUIRED for anyone involved in construction activity that will or has the potential to contact lead based paint. *EPA Approved Course, presented by the El Group, EPA Approved Instructors 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS REPORT Nancy Gould - Joint Governmental Affairs Director BE THERE! JUNE 9th - NCHBA & NCAR LEGISLATIVE DAY June 9th will be a very special day at the NC Legislature Building because hundreds of Home Builders and REALTORS® from across North Carolina will both be roaming the halls and visiting their local state representatives on the same day. Normally the state associations have visits to the legislature on different days. Therefore, this year’s trip will be extra fun, interesting and important.

Here’s what longtime HBAWS member and past NCHBA President, Paul Mullican, has to say about Legislative Day. “As an HBAWS member for 37 years, I have learned that Build-Pac is a very wise investment, I send my check every year. Another wise investment and time well spent is attending Legislative Day in Raleigh (and Washington).

Our legislators love for us to come to town, and they appreciate you taking time to see them. Why? We are votes. And when you sit them down, make eye contact, talk about your particular situation and tell them you need help, it really makes a difference. They want to hear from you and they will listen! Nothing beats a personal contact.”

WSRAR and HBAWS make this all easy by providing a van and coordinating carpools that leave WinstonSalem in time to arrive at the legislature at 9AM. You can lean back, sip on your coffee and leave the driving to us.

Upon arrival, you are briefed on and given a list of important legislative issues our representatives need to know about. With a map of the building in hand, we then, as a group, make brief visits with our state senators and house of representative members in their offices. Most are two-way dialogues, so you not only get the opportunity to share what is important to real estate and building professionals, but you also learn a lot about each representative from meeting them faceto-face and hearing about their work and priorities.

The trip is fun, but its purpose is extremely important.

As it gets more and more difficult for all levels of 14

government to find adequate funding, it gets more and more critical for each of us to learn about the decisions that are being made for us and to let our elected officials know where we stand. They need our input and want it.

To participate in NCAR & NCHBA Legislative Day on June 9th, simply email me at ngould@wsrar and indicate which association you are with. We will then keep you informed of the arrangements and will look forward to a great time in Raleigh together.

2010 Charitable Fund Form Supporting the Jimmy Johnson Memorial Vocational Education Fund

Again, this year, your Vocational Education Committee is working with our Charitable Contributions Committee to solicite charitable donations and to choose the charitable causes on an annual basis. Our primary benefactor will be the Jimmy Johnson Memorial Vocational Education Fund at Habitat for Humanity Forsyth County. All contributions will be made to and awarded through the Winston-Salem Foundation/HBAWS Charitable Fund.

Your Board of Directors has already committed $9,500 of HBA funds toward the $20,000 goal for JJMVE. Dollars raised for the JJMVE Fund are used to cover the hard costs of constructing Habitat houses built by vocational education students, one house by the Career Center and one house by Forsyth Technical Community College. This fund is also seeded by an annual appropriation from the W-S/FC School System and is matched by corporate sponsors, including the REALTORS®, for the sole purpose of supporting the educational and building efforts of the Career Center of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System and Forsyth Technical Community College. “Learn by doing” has always been a tried and true technique in Vocational Education. The JJMVE Fund is a great way for the HBA to support the Career Center and Forsyth Technical Community College in their efforts to train and educate future professionals in our field.

Your participation this year is as important as ever. Thank you in advance for your generous support. Together we are making a difference.
