PRESIDENT’S REPORT

President Peter Grant Grant Homes Remodel & Restoration

By HBA President Peter Grant

Greetings HBA members! Summer passed quickly this year and we already find ourselves well into the final quarter of the year here at the HBA. Fall is my favorite season and the changing colors and cooler temperatures are welcomed after the long days and triple digit heat of summer. Fall events started with the Home Remodeling Showcase and, while ticket sales were down compared to past years, those attending appeared to be serious customers looking for a quality remodeler. Thanks again to Greg Strange for chairing this event. The Evening of Giving charity event associated with the remodeling tour was an overwhelming success, exceeding everyone’s expectations and helping to raise an unprecedented $170,000 to benefit both our own HBA Charitable Foundation and fully finance a new roof at Family & Children’s Services Graves Building location. I cannot express how proud I am to be a part of an association that is contributing at this level to “make our community a better place”! Thanks to event chairs, Tana & Jerry Van Cleave, honorary chairs, Ken & Judi Klein, and patron chair, Chuck Ramsey, and all committee members for your hard work to make this event such a wonderful success. We had very good attendance for our third President’s Reception in September with more new members signing up for our new Ambassadors Program, designed to fast track new members and integrate them quickly into our association to help them realize benefits sooner. This program not only benefits the new member, but also benefits our association by being able to tap into the skills and expertise they contribute to the HBA. Ultimately, our hope is that this leads to higher membership retention. We are now at a point of needing more ambassadors! If you have been an involved member for at least a year and would like to contribute by being an ambassador, please contact our Membership Director, Nikki Pauly. Thank you to all current ambassadors for your generous gift of time and energy to help guide our new members The OK Building Summit continues to grow and provide excellent educational opportunities for designees seeking CE or those gaining/maintaining their Oklahoma Certified Builder or City of Tulsa Professional Builder status. If you haven’t attended this event, I highly recommend it. It is a twoday event packed full of great information, products, and networking.

Vice President/Treasurer Ryan Farabough Farabough Homes, LLC Vice President/Secretary Erin DeWeese Brian D. Wiggs Homes, Inc. Thanks to David Blackburn for chairing this event for OKHBA. In October, our state association also convened for their quarterly board meeting at Forest Ridge which was followed by our annual BUILD-PAC golf tournament. Thanks to all who attended and supported these events.

Past President Brandon L. Jackson Tara Custom Homes Membership Chair Weldon Bowman W Design, LLC

The Remodelers Council’s annual community outreach project partnered with the HBA Charitable Foundation and nationally televised program, ‘Today’s Homeowner with Danny Lipford’, to construct a comfortable backyard pergola to benefit Launch Outreach, an organization that assists women facing homelessness. The pergola was complete with furniture, grill, landscaping and lighting. The episode will air nationally December 13th. Thank you to everyone who participated in this fun event and particularly to Metro Appliances and M&M Lumber for their generous contributions to this project.

40Below Council President Micca Dickey Gateway Mortgage Group

October would not be complete without the much-anticipated annual Halloween Party and there was no shortage of ghouls, ghosts, and zombies this year. The Mike Fretz Event Center was transformed in a house of horror as characters of all sorts terrorized each other while drinking and dancing the night away. Thanks to the 40 Below Council, Kevin Blackburn, and all those who helped make this such a fun night.

Developers Council President Ed Schermerhorn Schermerhorn Development

I am grateful to have been given the honor of serving as association president in 2017. It has helped me to grow both professionally and personally. If you are interested in serving in a leadership position, please contact either myself or staff. Enjoy the holidays ahead and be safe.

Sincerely,

Peter Grant

By Executive Vice President/CEO Jeffrey Smith As 2017 quickly comes to a close, the Home Building Industry in Tulsa continues to grow in strength. The home starts are on pace to crush those in 2016 by over 10%, our membership has eclipsed 1,000, and our members, individually and together, continue to provide for those in need in our community. What a great industry to be a part of as well as one of the most respected Home Builders Associations in the country. The success that we have today would not be possible without those that have come before us and paved the way for the future, much like we continue to do today. In 1942 a handful of homebuilders in Tulsa founded the Home Builders Association in Tulsa under the leadership of Morris Turner and others. What they thought would be a small group of like-minded individuals bound together to promote residential construction and fight regulation has blossomed over 75 years into an association idolized by others, both in and out of residential construction. There have been ups and downs along the way, but a common thread is the willingness for everyone to work arm in arm to get the job done. What would our association look like today if a few associate members didn’t come up with an idea for a supplier table top night in 1949? The hard work and countless hours they put into an event for only a handful of attendees. That event continued to grow in popularity and size until eventually making its way to the Expo Building at the Fairgrounds. Once moving there hundreds of members were needed to volunteer instead of dozens and they stepped up like always. Now, after 68 years, the Greater Tulsa Home and Garden Show has over 500 exhibitors and is the largest volunteer managed Home and Garden Show in the Country. What would our association look like if a developer didn’t decide to promote a row of homes in their subdivision in 1947? After decades of promoting a single subdivision through a Showcase or Festival of Homes, the Home Builders Association decided to open up the entries to any builder and single home. This allowed for builders with 1 home in Owasso or 12 homes in Tulsa to all participate in the Parade of Homes. Now the public looks forward to the third week of June every year, when more than 150 homes in 30 subdivisions located in 14 cities open their doors for ideas and opportunities in new construction.

What would our association look like if a remodeler didn’t decide to share their idea of opening up a newly remodeled home for the public to view in 2000? The Remodelers Council, under the leadership of Ken Klein, Barry Helms, and others, took a trial run and turned it into an annual event where more than 125 remodeled homes in the Tulsa metro area have been open for viewing, all while raising funds for great local charities. The 2017 event alone had 12 open houses and with the added Evening of Giving, raised more than $170,000 for Family and Children Service and the HBA Charitable Foundation. The Home Builders Association of Greater Tulsa has a rich history full of individuals and events that have made a lasting impact on the industry and community. From our public events to our legislative and philanthropic efforts I am happy to say Happy 75th Anniversary Tulsa HBA! I hope you will join us on December 1st at the Mayo Hotel where many of the milestones of the association will be celebrated and we will install our 2018 President Ryan Farabough. That’s the scoop for now,

Jeffrey Smith

Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery and Andrews Lighting Gallery Unite Under One Roof

erguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery has a strong reputation amongst homeowners, builders and remodelers for offering the finest selection in plumbing fixtures, lighting and appliances from today’s most recognized manufacturers. For more than 30 years, Andrews Lighting Gallery has been the trusted residential lighting resource for builders and remodelers. Ferguson acquired Andrews in April 2016. Combined, the two companies provide the largest selection of plumbing, lighting and appliances for northeast Oklahoma. Due to the damage of a recent tornado, Ferguson in Tulsa relocated to Broken Arrow to join the Andrews team. In addition to lighting, they have added temporary plumbing and appliance displays to the 8,000-squarefoot showroom. Ferguson will remain at the Andrews location, embarking on a remodel that will result in a 12,000-square-foot showroom at 6311 S. Garnett Road offering a comprehensive selection of bath and kitchen products, appliances and lighting from today’s top brands. While the Ferguson showroom will move, the company is rebuilding the location at 6525 E. 42nd St. in Tulsa and will operate a warehouse and retail counter for the plumber and trade customer. Ferguson is slated to open a temporary location at 9797 E. Admiral in Tulsa by the end of September that will house the warehouse and counter facility until the 42nd Street location is rebuilt. “We are excited to have Ferguson and Andrews associates operating as one team in a single location,” says Jennifer Clark, area showroom manager for Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery. “Our team of knowledgeable product experts averages more than 15 years of experience working with homeowners, interior designers, builders, remodelers and contractors in northeast Oklahoma.”

Largest selection of products Ferguson’s wide offering of products lets you make multiple selections through a single showroom visit, which streamlines budgeting and makes the building process more efficient. Andrews’ dedicated lighting specialists are available to assist with customized lighting plans, product selection and budgeting. Dependable delivery After your product selections are made, it’s important to ensure that the right product is delivered during the right stage of the building or remodeling process. Ferguson’s local inventory combined with their strategically-placed distribution centers stock thousands of products by major manufacturers. This means that inventory is always available. If it’s not in-stock, their buying power and vendor relationships mean they can still get the product quickly. Personalized service Yet, ask customers what brings them back time and again and they’ll say it’s the people. Ferguson’s and Andrews’ product experts have years of industry experience and are extremely knowledgeable about design trends, product selection and the building and remodeling process. They also stay involved and ensure the right product is delivered during the right stage of the project. Ferguson and Andrews are ready to serve you Ferguson’s and Andrews’ passion for customer service is easy to see after just one visit to the local showroom. During the relocation, plans for a full renovation to the showroom are underway. Work is set to begin this fall and finish by late Summer 2018. Now and throughout the renovation, Ferguson invites local homeowners, builders, remodelers and designers to visit the showroom. Walk-ins are welcome; however, their product experts take pride in personalized service, so appointments are highly recommended.

COUNCIL SPOTLIGHT

REMODELERS COUNCIL RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY FOR CHARITABLE PROJECT The Remodelers Council is involved in activities ranging from education to networking and from charitable endeavors to community service. Of all that we are involved in, the one that brings the greatest satisfaction to our membership is our involvement in voluntary community service. It is so engrained in our DNA that it is written into our mission statement. Every year we embrace major outreach efforts to a broad spectrum of causes within the metropolitan area. A summary of recent activities, some of which are continuous and some of which involve individual projects follows. On a continuous basis, the Remodelers Council has sent a monthly repair crew to organizations like the Lindsey House and Launch Outreach to address individual maintenance matters that those organizations did not have the resources to repair. Above and beyond our ongoing involvement we have an impressive number of individual accomplishments. A list that covers the last three years work follows.

2016

In 2016, the Remodelers Council members joined forces to help an individual Tulsan, Leslie Livingston. Livingston had lost her leg in a motorcycle accident that year, and the Council banded together to assist by helping make her home wheelchair accessible. Volunteers from the Council spent an entire day building a proper ramp up to the front door of the Livingston home with donated labor and materials purchased with funds from the HBA Charitable Foundation.

2017

2015

In 2015, the Council used the funds raised from our annual Home Remodeling Showcase and Evening of Giving Gala to replace all of the windows on the downtown building of the Lindsey House. This $108,000 project was completed over the span of two years.

In 2017, the Remodelers Council in conjunction with the HBA Charitable Foundation had the most successful Evening of Giving Gala on record. We raised over $100,000 which when combined with a matching grant and the monies raised during the 2016 Evening of Giving Gala will enable Family and Children’s Service to remove and replace the roof on their main Harvard Building.

And we haven’t stopped, the Remodelers are taking it up a notch and conducting a community service project at Launch Outreach Manna House, a transitional living home that equips, guides and supports young ladies during their journey to adulthood. On October 21st, members from the Council will volunteer their labor and materials to help construct a pergola and bike storage building for the women at Launch Outreach.

This entire project is set to be featured on the syndicated hit TV and radio show Today’s Homeowner with Danny Lipford. Lipford partners with the National Association of Home Builders to find local councils that serve their community. Needless to say, they need not look any further than our own Tulsa Remodelers Council. As 2017 President of the Council, it is my pleasure to lead a group of individuals who care about the community they live in. I am reminded of one of my favorite quotations by Minor Myers… “Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.” I believe we have done just that and our Council will continue to not only donate, but to make a difference in our community. Thank you to our Remodelers Council Presenting Sponsor

New BlueSpeed Office Gains International Attention For Technology Design BlueSpeed AV opened its doors to a stunning new office in The Galley building this summer and is already attracting international acclaim for its design from the Lutron Excellence Awards; an award competition that recognizes the world’s best projects using lighting, shading, automation control and more. In receiving the award, BlueSpeed was honored at the national CEDIA conference in San Diego for Best Showrooms inside The Galley building - a reflection of their premier status as a leading technology integrator for business and residential spaces. The BlueSpeed team oversaw the technology plan across the entire Galley building. Apart from BlueSpeed, the office houses three other innovative companies specializing in kitchen design, investments, and software. The building’s vast environmental components are all connected by a streamlined integration of lighting, shades, media, security and automation control - a design that was three years in the making. Simple Control of the Entire Building Savant Automation works hand-in-hand with Lutron and Alexa Voice Control products to manage the whole building. Occupants can use Lutron keypads throughout the building to control TVs, music, volume, temperature, and media. Savant pushes control of all the systems into the keypads, making it the primary portal to enjoy the space. For example, when you enter the building’s auto showroom, you can select multiple scenes from one keypad or use your phone to make changes: • “Event” - The projector comes down, TVs start, pump station and candy shoppe wake up, temperature adjusts, and lights and music go to the exact levels for an event atmosphere. • “Presentation” - With one push, it manipulates 30 light switches to illuminate the car features. • “Away” - Turns off all lights, except those for security, and shuts down AV elements. Performance Lights & Shades Lutron’s Homeworks QS handles the building’s 150+ light loads, and the elegant finish of the 35 Palladiom keypads match the building’s stylish decor. The building runs on LED lights, whether it’s the eye-catching chandelier at the entrance or the assortment of bubble, recessed, rope, tape, accent, or can light features. 30

Shades on the first floor retract beautifully behind a fabric-wrapped trim at the top of the windows. While upstairs youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a sleek pocket in the wall to accommodate the shades when raised. Personalized Entertainment Visitors can test their swing in the state-of-the-art golf room where, with a push of a button, the shades and lighting tune to prime levels for game focus. Play real world-class courses while getting your swing analyzed for optimal performance, and even play a round of blackjack for fun. Enjoy this multipurpose room to watch a movie, listen to great music, or play alongside your favorite golf pro with picture-in-picture viewing. Scalable Landscape Lighting Unique outdoor lighting not only enhances security for the building, but it highlights the beauty of the architecture as well. As the sun goes down lights illuminate to keep pathways safe for staff leaving. All of the fixtures are high-grade and designed to compliment the landscape, withstand harsh environmental elements, and save on energy bills. Better yet, the entire outdoor lighting system is scalable; which allows it to be expanded as needed. Reliable Security There are a series of security triggers that fire if safety issues occur. If there is an alarm, every interior light goes to full bright and the exterior lights flash. In the event of a fire, all lights go dim so you can see through smoke more easily and the HVAC turns off so not to filter smoke through the system. The outdoor lights continuously flash, alerting incoming emergency response services. The building is equipped with over 60 cameras available from any TV or mobile device; giving staff peace-of-mind whether onsite or away.
