Optimistic Outlook

CONSTRUCTION FIRMS SEE HIGH DEMAND AMIDST LABOR SHORTAGES

BY MICHELLE LEACH

With an industry as nuanced as construction, it can be difficult to isolate general themes. But, it is fair to say that Midlands firms are largely expressing more optimism than around this time last year.

Furthermore, materials and supplies shortages have taken more of a backseat to concerns over the availability of labor – concerns that industry and professional organizations and firms alike are actively addressing.

Associated General Contractors of America - Nebraska Chapter aims to ease the hiring struggle for its members with workforce development efforts – from Equipment Days, which allows students to try out equipment simulators, to its “The Road Rebellion” career marketing campaign.

Communications Specialist Carly Smith emphasized the need to focus on labor.

“There has been a material shortage over the past few years, but the material suppliers have been working hard to meet the demands,” she said. “Labor is probably the biggest concern, with more work coming down the pipe, we need people now more than ever.”

Smith referred to how the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) will bring in funds for roads, bridges, and other projects to “put a dent in the needs of the state over the next five to seven years.”

The Metro Omaha Builders Association aims to promote and protect the homebuilding industry; Executive Director Jaylene Eilenstine referred to its signature Parade of Homes and Street of Dreams, as well as its scholarship to assist women in obtaining a

construction-related associate’s degree (courtesy of its Professional Women’s Council). Additionally, its involvement with the Builders of the Future program helps identify, support and educate “nextgeneration” construction professionals.

“While the construction industry is booming, we need more skilled trades in construction … these programs were developed to combat the shortage of skilled labor in our industry,” she said.

Matt Kronaizl, MOBA president and owner of Sierra Homes, said other materials shortages are not “back to normal,” but are “improving every day.”

“ … window and garage door timelines are getting better, certain high-end appliances can still be 12- to 18-month lead times, and various floorings are in short supply or being discontinued every day, still,” he stated.

Interest rates, too, have affected move-up buyers, as Kronaizl said it’s harder for them to swallow a higher interest rate as their payments change drastically.

“We are still seeing very strong demand in the remodel and higherend buyers, and the sales for the mid-range seems to still be strong

and steadily improving from last fall,” he said. Homeowners are reportedly desiring more advanced and creative features at all price levels – from smart lights and automation to more utilitarian flow with drop-zone, mud room, laundry, etc.

Kronaizl added that social media sites such as Pinterest and Houzz have helped homeowners hone their style before the design phase.

Activity on the Upswing

McGill Restoration is experiencing backlogs of weeks or months, notably from spring through fall.

“The construction industry in general is busy,” said Tim McGill, president. “McGill Restoration has the largest backlog of work that we have had in our history. Part of that is because we are growing, and the other part of that is there has been a lot of opportunity in the marketplace … We’ve seen more growth limitations relating to less available craftsmen than a reduction in leads.”

Over the last 12 months, McGill said they have had several “fast-track” projects to put valuable infrastructure back into service

ASAP; specifically the I-680/ Dodge Interchange and I-480 bridge rehabilitation in downtown Omaha.

“The I-480 project downtown is one that was completed in time for both shutdown phases of bridge rehabilitation,” he explained.

As infrastructure is the firm’s primary sector, McGill said the IIJA will present a lot of opportunities for workers entering the trade to stay busy year-round.

“We’re still waiting to understand the full effects of the funding, but it will help push some important projects into motion much faster,” he said.

Thus far, the team is testing out different recruiting tactics but, he said, “It’s very common for new hires to come with little to no construction experience and need time to be trained in more advanced skill sets.”

As to supply chain issues, in 2022 McGill increased on-hand inventory four-fold.

“In 2023, we believe that we can reduce the amount of inventory we keep on hand as the manufacturing of our materials is trending in a positive direction,” McGill stated.

Ronco Construction Company isolated activity in industrial and multi-family construction; notably, President Zak Olsen highlighted warehouses and distribution centers in areas such as around I-80 and 144th Street, Highway 370 and Gretna.

“At the end of 2022, Omaha’s new construction and proposed multi-family projects totaled more than 26,000 units, with over 3,000 of those in construction already,” he said.

Olsen attributed robustness in these sectors to the lack of singlefamily homes and high interest rates.

“So, the demand is high for affordable, convenient multi-family options,” he said. “On the industrial side, it’s mainly the lack of space — it’s around a 1% vacancy. Larger distribution centers for e-commerce companies like Amazon and Home Depot are growing.”

Projects span Home Depot market delivery operations; a 320,000-square-foot space for new tenant UPS; and a 300,000-squarefoot nerve center for GXO Logistics – all at the I-80 Logistics Hub.

On the multi-family side, Olsen noted how the former 24 Hour Fitness at 120th and Blondo streets is being reimagined into a 160unit, 225,000-square-foot apartment complex, while the 84-unit, 108,400-square-foot Nest Apartments is owned by La Vista biotech firm, Streck, as the “first-of-its-kind, employer-assisted housing project in Nebraska.”

Investments for the firm included surveying and modeling equipment; for example, a Matterport 3D scanner to scan and model existing building/property conditions and to generate a useable Revit model.

“Now, instead of doing this by hand with tape measures and pictures that can take weeks, we can generate results in a matter of days that are more accurate which, in turn, helps to accelerate project planning,” Olsen explained.

The use of drones in aerial surveys and greenfield developments, too, allows for quicker and more accurate scanning and documentation, while virtual and augmented reality showcases spaces and supports design feedback all in real time.

“You can ‘walk’ your project before it’s even constructed,” he stated.

Industry-wide Advancements

Boyd Jones VP of Preconstruction and Estimating Adam Marr reflected on technology advances.

“One advancement we’re proud to put to work to make things easier for clients is an advanced laser scanner,” Marr said. “It’s a wearable scanner that captures extremely accurate and detailed data that we use to document as-built conditions and create virtual tours.”

Marr said this information provides a reference to enhance the efficiency of future facility modifications.

“We know exactly what’s behind the walls or above the ceilings, where conduit and other building components are located,” he said. Such technology and foresight are complemented by robust relationship-building, exemplified by long-term partnerships with the likes of Airlite Plastics, Baxter Auto Group and Kids Can. Newer clients include Hillcrest Health Services.

“Since we first began working with the Bellevue-based senior living provider five years ago, we’ve completed or begun work on independent living, assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing facilities at properties in Sarpy County,” said Boyd Jones SVP of Integrated Services George Schuler.

Repeat work is also afforded by higher-education projects for Southeast Community College, University of Nebraska Medical Center, University of Nebraska at Omaha and K-12 projects for Springfield Platteview Community Schools, DC West Community Schools, and other school districts in Nebraska and Iowa.

Boyd Jones SVP of Operations Tim Meyer spotlighted awardwinning projects. Engineering News-Record Midwest awarded Boyd Jones an Award of Merit for the renovation of the Omaha Box Co. complex into the Ceres Group headquarters. The National Association of Women in Construction also awarded it the President’s Choice honor at its Project Excellence Awards for its utility-scale solar project in Burt and Dodge counties.

“The project team reclaimed existing materials like beams and hardwood flooring and incorporated them into design details, including stair treads, interior shutters and wall cladding,” Meyer said of the Ceres Group project.

The latter project, Meyer said, enables Burt County Public Power District to store energy for anticipated peak usage days and put it onto the local distribution grid during periods of high demand for better cost control.

For JE Dunn’s Nebraska office, 2022 was a “record year” for sales, new hires, awards and project achievements, according to VP Doug Duren. Notably, ENR Midwest named the firm its top contractor in Nebraska.

Opening its Nebraska in 2008 with just six employees, JE Dunn has grown to be one of the largest general contractors in the state.

Arguably, its most important recognition is the National Safety Council of Nebraska’s safest company award winner, with Duren noting: “We strive for each person who steps foot on our job sites to go home in the same condition they showed up. We have some of the lowest incident ratings in the country because of these efforts.”

Industrywide, JE Dunn Senior Preconstruction and Estimating Manager Colby Vetter said materials shortages and cost increases have eased, but lead times continue to be extended on many materials, impacting schedule and budget.

“Currently, we’re seeing overall construction costs 25% to 35% higher than they were pre-pandemic,” he said.

Since many budgets were approved two to five years ago, teams are fighting an uphill battle to hit budgets and underscore collaboration and alignment among contractor/client/designer.

“Together, they can get creative about ways to reduce costs in order to salvage as much of the intended scope of work as possible,” Vetter noted.

He also emphasized the critical nature of incorporating contractors into project planning ASAP.

“Labor, right now and for the foreseeable future, is an even larger issue,” JE Dunn Superintendent Joe Hansen added. “The construction industry is currently experiencing a ‘perfect storm’ of sorts. The industry is growing at a rate of up to 10% in the next 10 years, and it’s estimated that as much as 40% of the building trades workforce will retire in the same timeframe. In short: the industry is growing but our labor pool is shrinking.”

The firm saw this coming and has invested in promoting building trades as a viable career path; for example, Hansen said a team educates K-12 students on the trades and, to support up-and-coming women- and minority-owned businesses, the Nebraska team launched a Minority Contractor Development Program earlier this year.

Health Care and Education

McCarthy Building Companies leadership noted the Omaha team has completed $1 billion-plus in construction work over the past 20 years and now employs upwards of 100 people locally. Recent, prominent project work includes health care, education, and research/manufacturing. VP of Operations Ryan Felton spotlighted UNO’s Durham Science Center renovation, the STEM-focused Bluestem Middle School construction, UNMC’s new administrative tower, and the renovation and addition of American Laboratories’ pharma testing and manufacturing space.

JOE HANSEN SUPERINTENDENT, JE DUNN

“With renovations taking place while the building is occupied, work has been carefully phased in and student and faculty safety is top of mind,” said Felton of the nearly $28 million renovation to be complete this year.

Pivoting to the $50 million, 180,000-square-foot Bluestem: “The middle school is the last of five new schools built from the Omaha Public Schools’ $409 million bond issue passed in 2018, which focused on the need for new classroom space in South Omaha, where four of the five new schools are located.”

Regarding health care and lab/manufacturing projects, Felton referred to how the UNMC tower will anchor the campus as a component of a new innovation hub, and to how the American Laboratories’ project presented a highly-specialized environment, tight project site and aggressive schedule.

Market Leader Kris Montgomery also mentioned its work on a $17 million, more than 40,000-square-foot family health clinic on Immanuel Medical Center’s campus.

“The design-build team of McCarthy and Hoefer Welker has taken an innovative approach by prefabricating both exterior panels and interior walls to deliver substantial cost and schedule savings,” Montgomery noted. “Prefabrication has also led to increased safety and quality on the project. Building the walls in a warehouse prevents on-site congestion and helps lower trade workers’ hours.”

Leadership also isolated additional award-winning health care projects; notably, its trailblazing Omaha VA Ambulatory Care Center (a national Project of the Year and ENR’s Best in Healthcare), which was the first VA health care project completed using a P3 funding model – meeting vital needs today and serving as a model for future projects.

Going forward, the team anticipates both IIJA and IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) to present opportunities for local communities with critical water and wastewater infrastructure needs.

ENERGY COMPANIES PRIORITIZE INNOVATION AND REGULATION

BY DWAIN HEBDA

Innovation and regulation are the watchwords for Midlands utilities and energy companies. Aging infrastructure, ever-changing regulation and the public’s increasing demand for alternative and sustainable energy sources have provided plenty to keep such organizations busy.

Foremost among these priorities is the ongoing matter of infrastructure, which in many communities across America includes the hazard of outdated lead pipes. The Metropolitan Utilities District is tasked with ensuring Omaha’s water quality remains high.

“The most common sources of lead in drinking water are customer-owned lead service line pipes and older brass or bronze faucets and fixtures,” said Mike Koenig, MUD’s vice president of water operations. “The most recent round of lead and copper testing was completed in fall of 2022. That testing indicated 90% of samples were 7.59 parts per billion for lead, well below the current regulatory limit of 15 ppb.”

MUD’s efforts in this important area are informed by a bevy of regulations, especially the federal Lead and Copper Rule of the

Environmental Protection Agency. The LCR requires water systems to monitor drinking water at customer taps every three years to determine lead and copper content.

“The most recent regulatory updates will require increased communication to customers who may own lead water service lines; changes to the sample testing protocol; ensuring an accurate inventory of lead services in the community and escalating the removal of lead service lines in the community,” said Koenig.

In response, MUD developed a proactive strategy to meet the new guidelines. This includes changing its own requirements for repair and modification of old lines and accelerating its replacement of customer-owned services in homes. Koenig placed the average cost of each replacement at about $8,000 per service, meaning the total cost to upgrade affected services is expected to exceed $128 million.

“Since 2017, MUD has replaced more than 560 lead service lines as part of its infrastructure replacement program, which focused on replacing water mains,” Koenig said. “Our pace to date has replaced 100 to 200 services a year, and we will be ramping

up to around 1,500 replacements a year starting in 2025. This 10-year strategy means the removal of all lead service lines by the end of 2034.”

Energy Storage

On the energy front, sustainability is the order of the day as new technologies continue to redefine how cities and towns power the amenities of modern life. This includes the development of better batteries which are a critical component in alternative energy systems.

“Battery energy storage systems enable energy from intermittent renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, to be stored and released when customers need power,” said Sami Edens, marketing manager with Bluestem Energy Solutions. “Even if the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining, battery storage enables utilities to continue to provide power during peak demand.”

As more and more private citizens and businesses invest in alternative energy solutions, namely solar units on homes, offices and commercial buildings, advanced battery technology has become key to the ROI (return on investment) of such systems as it provides the means for storing the power being harvested. These same advances serve utility companies, albeit on a much more massive scale.

“Battery storage allows for better and easier integration of collar PV technologies,” Edens said. “On a larger scale, electric utilities that adopt battery storage for their wind and solar resources could retire legacy assets such as coal and natural gas plants and reduce the incumbent emissions, which can help improve the health of the public living in the vicinity of power

plants.”

Portable power for laptops, cell phones and hundreds of other gadgets is also undergoing a technological revolution as it pertains to batteries, advancements that are also powering the shift to electric vehicles.

“Lithium-ion batteries have changed the landscape over the past 15 years or so,” Edens said. “In the last five years, the growth of electric vehicles has decreased the cost of Li-ion battery cells thanks to economies of scale.”

Renewable Natural Gas

Another major development in alternative energy is renewable natural gas, or RNG, which captures methane from sources like farms and landfills and recycles it, taking the sustainability of the fuel source to the next level.

“Renewable natural gas is a critical source of energy, which has and will continue to reduce our country’s carbon emissions,” said Katie Fleming, Black Hills Energy director of corporate planning/ sustainability/ESG.

The company has expanded its efforts via Green Forward, a program providing natural gas utility customers the choice to offset the carbon footprint from their natural gas. Customers may voluntarily enroll at various levels of the program, starting at $5 per month, with the average residential Nebraskan spending $15 per month to completely offset their natural gas carbon footprint.

Black Hills Energy Renewable Resources partners with companies across Nebraska and throughout the United States to spur new renewable natural gas development. The company is investing in and building new infrastructure to connect RNG

The importance of both short-term storage of 1 to 10 hours and long-term storage, 10 hours to multiple days, is a critical component of the future electric grid.

projects with natural gas pipeline systems, moving thousands of dekatherms – a unit of measurement for natural gas – of renewable gas across the country. Finally, the company’s Net Zero by 2035 initiative is the company’s commitment to a net zero emissions target related to its natural gas distribution system.

“Black Hills Energy’s Nebraska system currently includes four operating RNG projects, with a fifth site launching in 2024,” Fleming said. “Biogas is captured, cleaned to produce pipeline quality renewable natural gas, and then used for a variety of different purposes like power generation or home heating.

“Natural gas will continue to play a critical role in a clean energy future, and our customers are increasingly looking to us for sustainable and cost-effective options to help them further reduce their carbon footprint. Whether through increased appliance and building efficiency, lower carbon fuels or investing in a low emissions gas delivery system, Black Hills Energy is ready to help fuel the future.”

Conservation Efforts

All new technologies and alternative fuels aside, the state’s energy future will also rely on wider adoption of individual accountability when it comes to conservation, said Eric BenSalah,

energy advisor with Omaha Public Power District.

“Energy efficiency and energy conservation are two different concepts,” he said. “Energy efficiency is about using a technology to reduce your energy usage without reducing comfort, such as using LED light bulbs versus turning them off, whereas energy conservation is a behavior that reduces energy usage and usually comfort, such as turning the lights off no matter what, or taking cold showers.

“There is a middle way, too. You can still have LEDs in your lamps and fixtures but turn them off when not in use. While this may not reduce much energy each day or month, it makes a difference year over year and contributes toward a smaller carbon footprint.”

To this end, BenSalah noted, new consumer energy products are making it easier for homes and businesses to better manage their usage. These include smart light bulbs and outlets and the new generation of smart thermostats.

“Smart light bulbs and smart outlets are a fantastic way to eliminate unnecessary energy usage, but also provide great comfort,” he said. “For outside lighting, there are new LEDs that have light sensors that will turn themselves on or off depending on how much light there is outside.”

Natural gas will continue to play a critical role in a clean energy future and … Black Hills Energy is ready to help fuel the future.

WHAT ELSE IS possible?

Welcome, 2023! I love the New Year. New beginnings, new adventures, new possibilities, new choices. A blank canvas for us to perhaps choose something different and create another masterpiece along the journey of our lives.

As I look back over the past 30-plus years I’ve been in the publishing/media business, I realize where I am today is largely because of the choices I have made. Some of them created more ease and more joy in my life and business, and some of them did not.

We are all a work in progress and constantly evolving. There are hundreds, thousands—make that millions—of choices we can make at any given time.

We all are making choices. Every moment in every day there are choices to make. We are choosing what we wear, what we eat, what we do, who we do it with, where we work, how we nurture our bodies or how we don’t. We choose happiness and joy and we also choose sadness and struggle.

What I love about CHOICE is that you always have a CHOICE. If you choose something and it doesn’t work out or you change your mind, you can choose again. When I hear myself saying, “I have no choice,” that is a choice. Gary Douglas, founder of Access Consciousness, encourages us to choose in 10-second increments. There is no right or wrong choice, good or bad choice. There is just CHOICE.

Ask yourself, “If I choose (fill in the blank), what will my life be like in a year, five years, ten years? (Or perhaps, in keeping with the above admonition, in the next 10 seconds?) Will this choice create more in my life or less?”

Only you can answer that question. My life continues to change by asking such questions. What are you choosing in 2023? And remember: If it isn’t working out or feeling light—choose again!

What else is possible (in the next 10 seconds, 10 minutes, months, years?) That begins with your next CHOICE!

What else is possible? ~ ANDEE

HOW EVENT SPONSORSHIP CAN MAKE YOUR BUSINESS SHINE

Getting involved in local events as a sponsor is a unique marketing and networking opportunity that’s definitely worth looking into! You can increase exposure of your business, and consequently, the chance to connect with new customers or clients. The Sarpy Chamber’s calendar is full of events attended by a large local and engaged audience, so there are plenty of opportunities out there!

Here are some important things to consider when deciding if event sponsorship would be an effective tool for your business.

Brand Visibility

The bigger the event, the more press and social media mentions you get before, during, and after the event day. Sponsorships typically have your logo included in promotional materials, event signs, as well as in-person recognition at the event. All of these touches boost brand recognition in the community. Major Sarpy Chamber events like the Annual Golf Tournament offer all these things plus the opportunity for hole sponsors to incorporate branded swag items and unique activities or games to represent your business.

Consumer Perception

Positive public perception can really make your business stand out. Customers form positive opinions when businesses are tied to local events, as it connects you with being reputable, reliable and interested in being an active member of the community. In fact, research from the Event Marketing Institute found that most consumers are more likely to buy products or services after exposure to a branded event marketing experience.

Conduct Targeted Marketing

The audience of an event can be one of the biggest determining factors of whether you decide to sponsor. An event hosted for a niche audience can be a great way to find qualified leads for your business, and the marketing spend becomes easier to justify. Sarpy Chamber events like the Ladies Day Out Golf Tournament or the Guys Event at Oak Creek Sporting Club deliver these kinds of specific audiences in a fun setting that may be a perfect fit for your brand.

UNWAVERING ADVOCATE

We are your unwavering advocate. As business owners, neighbors and friends, we are Sarpy. Our whole hearts are into making a better future for all of us.

Efficient Lead Generation and Sales

Think about the amount of time you normally spend hunting for 10 qualified leads. How about 20, 50, or 100? Event holders typically provide data about attendees or attendance rates in advance. Do your research and plan a strategy to optimize your time. The Sarpy Chamber hosts over 200 events each year and can provide year-toyear attendance and demographic data for most. If you’re wanting to get started in event sponsorship or expand your event sponsorship, the Sarpy Chamber’s calendar is a great place to start! We mentioned some upcoming events like the Ladies Day Out Golf Event on June 6th, the Guys Event at Oak Creek Sporting Club on June 28th, and the Annual Golf Tournament on July 27th, and if you’re interested in getting involved as a sponsor or learn about more upcoming event sponsor opportunities you can call us at 402-339-3050.

HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT?

SPREAD the word ANNOUNCEMENT? After acquiring the Little King franchise operation in 2021, Lockwood Development is announcing that the firm’s first Omaha Little King store opened to the public on November 1, with a Grand Opening featuring the Creighton Volleyball team scheduled for Saturday, November 5. The store, located at 8602 West Dodge Road, represents a step forward for both the brand and its footprint in the Omaha area. “Our new store is very close to where the very first Little King store was located when it opened in 1969,” said Chip James, president and CEO of Lockwood Development. “That’s no coincidence. We’re truly inspired by the roots of this historic franchise, and we look forward to carrying that spirit forward to loyal Little King customers, as well as a new generation of Omaha residents.” The 1500-square-foot store combines modern design and an inviting dining area with classic Little King branding and artwork.
