EDITOR’S NOTE

by Michael J. Pallerino

That one thing Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is? [Holds up one finger] This. Mitch: Your finger? Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don’t mean s@#$#. Mitch: But, what is the “one thing?” Curly: That’s what you have to find out. From the motion picture “City Slickers”

That one great thing is anything that affects your business and your employees. Big or small, it’s what helps define you in the end. Quick: What’s the one great thing you did so far this year? There has to be something. Was it a new build? Renovation project? Was it a customer service moment? Did you finally cross something off that eternal to-do list of yours? Ask yourself that question: What’s your one thing? I’m going to be honest with you. You need one. Everybody does. And here’s the tricky part – they have to come in bunches. That’s the real secret. Doing great things creates great leadership, which creates great companies. Otherwise, we’re all just treading water here. And the truth is, in today’s highly competitive commercial construction marketplace, treading water can sink you. So, that means you find your groove. You find out what your

customers want – what they expect – and make it happen. Vendors and end users alike are all working hard – and together – to continue to pull themselves out of the passing economic rut. And it’s working. The experts, and that includes Curly, will tell you that when you do that one thing, everything else falls into place. It’s all about getting it right today. Whatever your customers expect of you, more than anything else, they expect that you get it right. See, there’s a great thing right there. Think about it – when your client says, “You know, that was even better than we expected,” we’re talking great. That One Great Thing is anything that affects your business and your employees. It’s the thing that helps make a difference in your community. Big or small, it’s what helps define you in the end.

TargetExpress Target will open eight TargetExpress stores this year. The smaller-format urban stores are about one-fifth the size of a traditional Target and carry merchandise tailored for each individual neighborhood. Macy’s Macy’s will open four off-price stores in the New York City market this fall called Macy’s Backstage, which will sell apparel and home goods. The stores, similar to Nordstrom Rack and Saks Off Fifth, will sell most merchandise at 20 percent to 80 percent off the original prices. Nordstrom Nordstrom opened an upscale bar in its Seattle flagship last week, as part of an ongoing renovation project designed to make the store, along with its San Francisco and Chicago flagships, more appealing to international shoppers.

IKEA IKEA will open a 20,000-square-foot store in London, Ontario, this year, where shoppers will be able to browse and buy on in-store tablets, pick up online orders and get support for sales, assembly and room planning. It will be the smallest store for the Swedish furniture retailer, whose standard stores can top out at 340,000 square feet. Forever 21 Forever 21 has signed a 40,000-square-foot lease at 490 Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn, with the retailer returning to the neighborhood it left in 2007. Rent the Runway Rent the Runway expanded its brick-and-mortar presence with the opening of a Chicago store. It’s the fifth store for Rent the Runway, which started as an online place to rent designer gowns. It plans to launch 15 more stores.

Restaurants Arby’s Arby’s will open 60 new restaurants this year and double its growth rate in 2016, steaming back into growth mode in an effort to boost company-wide sales to $4 billion by 2018. Red Robin/Burger Works Red Robin Gourmet Burgers is adding its second prototype Burger Works location in the District near Washington Circle. Yum Brands/KFC Yum Brands will spend $185 million over the next three years to help KFC franchisees in the United States remodel, upgrade kitchens and advertise, as part of a deal that gives the parent company control over domestic marketing.

Jimmie’s Old Southern Smokehouse BBQ The founder of the Famous Dave’s barbecue chain will launch Jimmie’s Old Southern Smokehouse BBQ in Hayward, Wis. Dave Anderson’s one-year noncompete agreement with the company he started recently ended. The new venture is named after his father.

Lunds/Byerly’s Lund Food Holdings will combine its Lunds and Byerly’s banners into one brand, unveiling a re-bannered Lunds & Byerlys store in Minnesota. The unified logo will be added to all 27 stores in the Twin Cities market.

Company executives hope to see one or two more new Loews Regency hotels this year. Starwood Hotels Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide is launching a new brand, Tribute, which will be composed of independent hotels. Starwood plans to invest $20 million in the venture – its first new brand since 2006. The Royal Palm South Beach Miami will be the first Tribute hotel. The hotelier plans to grow its portfolio to 100 properties in five years.

Coming on Study finds hospitality industry nearing pre-recession profit levels

otel prices in March jumped 33 percent in the past 12 months. If you’re keeping score, that’s a point shy of the hospitality industry’s pre-recession peak, according to a report from Moody’s/RCA Commercial Property Price Indices. Meanwhile, a report from Real Capital Analytics also shows that investment sales of U.S. hotels rose 68 percent in Q1 2015 to $12.9 billion. Cap rates averaged 8 percent, 36 basis points below what was recorded during Q1 2014, and average prices are up 47 percent to $199,462 per unit. As a barometer, at least four hotels sold for more than $1 million per room in the first three months of 2015. In addition, strong demand continued to buoy room revenue and demand, which saw year-over-year increases of 9.4 percent and 4.6 percent, respectively, in February,

according to data from STR. Meanwhile, supply growth was low, at 0.9 percent year over year, causing occupancy to grow a mere 3.7 percent year over year. The reports are another good sign that the industry is bouncing back to more solid footing.

Point/Counter Point Rise of fast casual seeing brands adapt

he growth of fast-casual brands such as Chipotle and Panera Bread is forcing casual dining operators to change their business practices to stay competitive. For example, Italian eatery Romano’s Macaroni Grill recently opened Romano’s Kitchen Counter, a small dining space within the restaurant. The space offers less expensive meals served quickly for the time- and cash-strapped consumer. For more than a decade, the fast-casual segment has grown in

T he advancement for women is too slow. When you think about the majority of decisions involving food are made by women, we are not adequately represented. We must continue to find ways to have a voice and be a champion for others. I appreciate those who have a platform standing up for women.

sales from less than $10 billion in the late 1990s to nearly $40 billion in 2014, according to Technomic Inc. The growing fast casual concept combines the counter ordering, upfront payment and speedy service of fast food with the higher quality ingredients and options for customization found in sit-down, casual dining restaurants. The entrée cost falls between those segments. The combination is especially attractive to Millennials, the group today’s brands are chasing.

Did you

know The hotel sector continues to strengthen. As a result of strong demand and limited new supply, Fitch Ratings expects 6 percent growth in hotel revenue per available room this year. Occupancy will rise 1 percent and average daily rates will rise 5 percent, the firm said. Lodging Econometrics sees growth in hotel sales continuing for three years or more.

INDUSTRY NEWS

INDUSTRY NEWS L easing momentum is boosting construction demand across multiple commercial property sectors – but raw material and labor costs are making it more expensive to get out of the ground than ever before. Demand is exploding, but demand isn’t everything. You have to consider the bottom line of every project to make sure it makes economic sense short- and long-term.

Don’t look now, but... Office construction beginning to heat up

ccording to a report from Principal Global Investors, the office sector is “at the beginning of a new construction cycle, but not necessarily one that will result in excessive supply. The recovery in rents and pricing is driving the activity, the study says. Other recent reports note an increase in office construction. According to CBRE, 88.7 million square feet of office space were under construction at the end of 2014.

Taste WineStyles Tasting Station gives connoisseurs old-world feel By Michael J. Pallerino

s franchisees, Bryan and Andrea McGinness loved the new world they walked into. But all along, they knew there was more – much more. So, after living the franchisee dream for a while, the McGinness’ upped their game to ownership in 2012 when they acquired the WineStyles Tasting Station. That was just the start of their entrepreneurial vision. Now Bryan and Andrea want more – much more. Their aggressive expansion plans call for the West Des Moines-based company to grow its national footprint by nearly 50 stores over the next several years. They currently are seeking qualified candidates in new and existing cities across the country. Today, they have 22 stores in nine states, from Alaska to Florida. The bulk of the stores are in the Midwest, with two corporate stores in Iowa. The WineStyles brand provides its guests with a unique retail experience and warm ambiance reminiscent of an old-world wine cellar. Inside, customers can taste, learn and enjoy good wine and craft beer, fine chocolates, artisanal cheeses and other gourmet items.

MAY : JUNE 2015 — COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION

TASTE DRIVE The stores feature dozens of wines by the glass and a variety of gifts, accessories, customizable gift baskets, monthly wine and craft beer clubs, as well as a frequent buyer program. Connoisseurs also can take advantage of a variety of weekly tastings and special events. The concept was born out of the original WineStyles concept, which was founded in 2002 after a backyard barbeque blind tasting of wines proved the most popular were not the most expensive, but simply the bottles that tasted the best. As a result, WineStyles created a completely new category in the wine retail industry by empowering customers to choose wines based on taste, instead of varietal or region. Commercial Construction & Renovation sat down with the McGinness’ to get their take on WineStyles’ expansion plans and what the future holds.

What’s the biggest item on your to-do list right now? At the top of our list is franchising. We are in full sales mode by working with our area developers to sell franchises again. That time is finally there. We spent the last couple of years restructuring,

rebranding and refocusing some of our franchisees, some of which probably needed to be vetted better so that we could be comfortable to franchise again.

Describe a typical day.

Because we are wearing two hats – running a corporate store and serving as franchisors, our day is two-fold. On the corporate side, we work a lot with our franchisees. That’s the bulk of our days. We also run a corporate store, so we are always looking at ways to run things better and to test a program before we offer it to a franchisee. We try things out at this level. If they work, we know it will be something the franchisees will want to try. Along with this, we manage the employees. We pretty much run seven days a week. We don’t work in the business; we work on the business. We aren’t ever on the schedule, per se, but we find it important to make sure that the things we offer work. Not every system or program is going to work, so it’s good to be able to do a beta test before handing them off to our franchisees.

We don’t work in the business; we work on the business. We aren’t ever on the schedule, per se, but we find it important to make sure that the things we offer work. 24

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2015

What do you see as some of your biggest opportunities moving ahead?

Along with adding franchisees, it’s refreshing the model. That starts with our latest corporate store in Coralville. We’ve had it for a year now, so we’re very comfortable with being able to add to the fold. It is doing well, so it presents a good opportunity moving forward. We have 22 stores and franchisees that we want to make happy, make their lives a little easier. We’ve added training and educational programs – things like Wine By the Glass. These education programs invite customers in and teach them about the products we offer. We also do a Winery Spotlight, a partnership where we highlight a winery each month and show the stores what they are all about. It’s about finding ways to make the stores successful.

Are you optimistic about what you see out there today?

Absolutely. We continue to get great responses from our franchisees. Because the old owners didn’t have a corporate store, they weren’t able to do what we have been able to do. To be able to test things out and share how they work has met very favorably with our franchisees.

Renovating a ConCRete Slab? PRoCeed CautiouSly. By Mac Krauss

Silicates are used to good effect in the finishing of hardened concrete floors for warehouses, manufacturing plants, and other commercial, institutional and industrial facilities. Silicates also contribute to the “shininess” of concrete polishing systems and are sometimes used quite liberally. However, the presence of these silicates must be carefully considered when converting a hardened or polished concrete floor to a resilient flooring system. Silicates can become serious bond breakers for even the highest performing adhesive, epoxy, or urethane. If you’re working with a renovation or tenant conversion project where silicate use is even remotely suspected, it is best to take a concrete core and send it to an independent lab for forensic testing. To learn more and finish this article, visit us online at:

What is the biggest trend in franchising today?

We are still coming off a pretty rocky economy, so people are a little more cautious. They are doing their due diligence more than in the past. And on our end, we are a little more cautious about whom we are selling the franchise to. Before, if a person had money to put down on a store, he would just go for it. Today, we vet that process more thoroughly. Finding the right person in the right area to run the business is very important to us. The good thing about we do is offer flexible store plans. It’s not like other franchises where everything might be set in stone already.

Today, we vet that process more thoroughly. Finding the right person in the right area to run the business is very important to us.

For example, every state has different liquor laws, so you have to take that into consideration. In our industry, this can play a huge factor in the franchise process. We offer, what we call, Flexible Franchising. The new franchise model really focuses on this lifestyle. You can come in to a WineStyles to buy wine or craft beer or you can try it here. All of our stations offer a lovely ambience. You can have a great experience. We created a whole different aspect, and it has been very well received. This “on premise” and “off premise” structure is very unique to the wine business.

What markets are you targeting? How many franchisees do you plan to add?

We have area developers, which are our partners from the corporate office that serve as a tremendous resource for us. These are men and women who operate a store in a specific area. They are basically our liaisons – resources for future franchisees. We want

to open stores where a franchisee can have a mentor. We’re concentrating on Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Virginia and North Carolina. Outside of that, we want to grow organically here in the Midwest where our corporate store is located. We have the buying power and a core system set up here to get to those stores. We’d like to have 50 franchisees over the next five years – about five a year. We are looking at a rifle approach, as opposed to a shotgun approach. We’d rather have 50 happy franchisees than just add ones who haven’t been vetted properly. It’s the quality over quantity approach.

What’s driving the growth?

People enjoy being in an environment and to be around other people. That fits really well into what Millennials are looking for today. We are selling the wine experience, along with craft beer, fine chocolates, artisanal cheeses and other gourmet items.

Talk about the importance of keeping what you do fresh.

some sustainability issues – and some opportunities. We have converted more than 15 stores into the Tasting Station concept over the last couple of years. So, we have been looking at the stores where we are able to do that. I think it is critically important that you reinvent yourself. You have educational classes. You have the tasting aspect. You have the food aspect. If you’re going to survive – if you’re going to grow – you must continue to reinvent what you offer to your customers.

What is today’s customer looking for?

There are foodies. There are Millennials. There are families where mom and dad both work. So, you have to be a one-stop shop for your customers. If you can do that, it’s awesome. Today’s customer also is looking for an experience. They want customer service – somebody who is knowledgeable about wine and cheese. Our customers want the experience of visiting to be different than walking into a grocery store. They want the person to ask what they are serving that evening, and

how a particular wine might complement it. They want that person to help them get something within their budget? It’s all about the experience. Today, Millennials have the money and are more educated on wine and craft beer than we ever were. So customer service plays a huge part in this. We have to have a cozy experience that people like to visit and they can get what they want.

What trends are you seeing?

Craft beer is a growing trend. Also, the fact that you can come in and have a glass of wine is inviting to people. Customers are starting to realize that they have the best of both worlds. They have a nice selection of products that they can take home, and they have a nice selection that they can try while they are in the store. Our stores are becoming a destination for people buying gifts for events such as weddings and anniversaries. Wine has become quite a wedding gift. And our wine clubs and craft beer memberships are growing in popularity.

Tell us what makes WineStyles Tasting Station so unique?

Our clubs help make us unique. We like to say that we are the only wine club with a clubhouse. There are a lot of wine clubs out there today, so we are catering to that popularity. Our WineStyles Tasting Stations are encouraging our customers to taste, learn and enjoy the best in wine, craft beer, fine chocolates, artisanal cheeses and other gourmet items. CCR

What’s the most rewarding part of your job? The satisfaction we see with a happy franchisee and, ultimately, our customers. What was the best advice you ever received? You will run into obstacles, but if you stay the course on your mission and vision, those obstacles will turn into opportunities. What’s the best thing a client ever said to you? It is difficult to boil it to one comment, however, when one of our stores is successful with executing a program, class or event that we helped create and they let us know that we are making a difference for them and their customers, that is really all we can ask for.

What are the three strongest traits any leader should have? Drive, compassion and the ability to be a change agent for not only your franchisees, but your customers as well. We must constantly evolve and grow. What is the true key to success for any manager? Listen to your employees and help them to be successful. Success is found by creating a cohesive team, not by doing it alone. What’s your favorite vacation spot and why? We love to travel to Europe and to the many wineries that we do business with in our stores. How do you like to spend your down time? We love to golf when we can, and we really enjoy traveling with our entire family, kids included.

Access flooring offers world of possibilities By Thomas Ricciardelli

sk any facilities manager what their major challenges are, and nine out of 10 probably will answer how to accommodate my companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth. While part of that growth refers to additional staff, a concern just as large pertains to meeting the growing IT

demands with regards to computers, servers and additional electronics. For those companies where relocation is not an option, access flooring not only is a viable option, but a preferred one. 66

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION â&#x20AC;&#x201D; MAY : JUNE 2015

As the name suggests, access flooring provides space under the floor surface to house any number of systems – air, water and gas utilities, as well as wire management for power and data. The amount of space provided by access flooring can vary to suit the needs of the facility. The height of the access flooring can be as little as one half inch and as high as 3 feet. This leaves facilities managers with an abundance of flexibility if expansion needs arise. Access flooring typically uses a quick-connect pedestal grid networked with snap-in, high strength, steel surface panels, which are prefabricated and installed using a mallet and basic cutting tools. Flooring, with or without carpeting, then can be installed over the access flooring. Since access flooring houses wiring critical to the transmission of data and leading to electronic equipment, ESD flooring is the preferred surface (ESD stands for electrostatic discharge). Access flooring minimizes the amount of static electricity within the floor. This greatly reduces the possibility of static electricity damaging equipment, and potentially compromising sensitive and critical data.

Major facilities that are just too busy or don’t have the space to create additional server capacities are outsourcing to tech companies that specialize in these services. That’s the primary reason why ESD flooring is not only utilized for data centers, but by many healthcare facilities, university labs, manufacturers and retail stores, with or without access flooring: to maintain the integrity of that electronic information and the equipment. Beyond a static electricity component, some of the newer ESD flooring technologies offer flexibility. Specifically, ESD flooring that employs an interlocking technology enables tiles to be individually installed without messy adhesives. The tiles literally snap into place over the access flooring. This makes wiring maintenance and service far more convenient, as only the tiles at point of access need to be removed and not entire sections of floor. Maintenance of ESD flooring offers the same convenience. Tiles in areas with high traffic levels can be replaced as wear-and-tear dictates. There is no need to replace the entire floor due to wearand-tear in those high-traffic areas. Installation times are minimal and typically without impacting operations.

Ergonomically friendly

ESD flooring also provides tremendous ergonomic benefits. Some of the newer ESD floorings feature vinyl urethane surfaces that are

not only more comfortable but easy to maintain. This minimizes the potential of somebody slipping and falling, which reduces potential workers comp claims (e.g., a slip on one of these surfaces may result in a bruise, but on an outdated surface could result in a break). Beyond all the other benefits with the ESD floorings – interlocking tiles, ESD, reduced installation times, comfort, etc. – is the newest wrinkle of all – green flooring. Newer technologies like those employed by our firm use 70 percent recycled materials and are 100 percent recyclable. For facilities with sustainability initiatives and looking to earn LEED points, this is an extremely important consideration. The trend toward the access flooring/ESD flooring combination could see a dramatic increase in the coming years, particularly with hospitals, medical buildings and healthcare facilities. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act’s (HIPPAA) meaningful use requirement incentivizes providers to implement EHR technology

THE SPACE BELOW

Many facilities just do not have the space within their facility as presently constructed and the access flooring/ESD flooring combo provides a potential solution for some facilities.

to improve patient care while maintaining privacy and security of their information. Converting hard copy patient records to electronic files will create additional server demands for hospital IT. Many facilities just do not have the space within their facility as presently constructed and the access flooring/ESD flooring combo provides a potential solution for some facilities. This trend also is reaching beyond the scope of growing healthcare facilities. Major facilities that are just too busy or don’t have the space to create additional server capacities are outsourcing to tech companies that specialize in these services. This is creating new parallel market demand for access floors and ESD flooring that is being driven by healthcare end-users trying to keep up with the new regulations. While better utilizing an existing space is one attractive feature of the access flooring/ESD flooring combo, it’s also become desirable for newly constructed space. An example of this is the new medical laboratory being constructed at the Geisinger Health System campus in Danville, Pa. The $50 million overall project calls for the installation of 22,000 square feet of SelecTech’s FreeStyle Biolock flooring to be installed over low-rise access flooring provided by its installation partner Tate. The use of BioLock over access flooring in this new state-ofthe-art laboratory provides Geisinger with the best of all worlds. The access flooring will provide Geisinger’s lab facilities team with flexibility for their underfloor air, water and gas utilities, as well as wire management for the IT department’s power and data systems. The BioLock flooring complements that flexibility with a wide range of benefits from both an operational and a functional side. When applied with a seam sealer, it is 100 percent waterproof. That is an essential specification for any laboratory flooring and to protect wiring below. “Other floorings may have been less expensive, but when you consider the maintenance element, BioLock was far more cost-effective,” says TJ Ginieczki, project manager for Ewing Cole, the architect for Geisinger’s new medical laboratory building. Of course, the use of access flooring can go well beyond data centers. Essentially, any facility that has adequate ceiling heights can utilize access flooring. That can range from the retail stores to manufacturers and beyond. One of the SelecTech’s earliest access flooring projects was for a financial institution’s statement division – essentially, the company’s printer. While access flooring had provided a solution for wiring, the surface on top was unattractive and not conducive to the carts that staff had to push from one end of the building to the other. The BioLock product provided a more attractive appearance, was more functional and ergonomically sound for workers, and, with the interlocking technology easier to maintain. While access flooring may not meet the needs of every facility, it does provide construction professionals and facilities professionals a strong foothold on future expansion while smartly addressing current needs.

When disaster

STRIKES 70

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION â&#x20AC;&#x201D; MAY : JUNE 2015

Will your company survive? By Jeffrey Cavignac

he recent tornados across the Midwest in recent months should be a reality check for businesses all over

the country. While damages vary from area to area, they underscore the need for appropriate insurance coverage and limits, and for having a basic disaster recovery plan.

In the event your company loses power or was totally destroyed during a tornado, hurricane, wildfire or other type of natural disaster, how prepared would you be? Have you identified alternative premises to set up operations? Would your employees know who to call or where to go? Disaster recovery is a risk control technique. Risk control is anything you can do to lower the frequency and severity of a claim. Disaster recovery won’t reduce frequency, but it will definitely reduce severity. In some cases, an effective disaster recovery plan, supported by a correctly written insurance program, can be the difference between a business’ survival and failure.

Preparing your employees

According to the forecasting firm Eqecat, in October 2012, “Superstorm Sandy” was the second most expensive storm on record in U.S. history. At least 286 people in seven countries were killed along the path of the storm, including more than 125 in the United States alone. The estimated economic damage was more than $68,000 billion, with 8.5 million businesses and residences losing power. Though many companies were unharmed during Hurricane Sandy, their employees could not, or would not, return to work for various reasons. Below are some thoughts and lessons learned from the disaster on how to better prepare your workforce for disaster so they can return to work in a timely manner: • Cross-train your employees. Regardless of a disaster’s impact on your business, if an employee’s family is displaced or affected by a crisis, they will respond to their family first and employer second. Be sure you can continue operations if key personnel are unavailable due to family emergencies. • If a “work from home” scenario is part of your disaster recovery plan, plan for the risks of power loss, communication interruptions, inconsistent internet access and the inevitable distractions encountered when staff are working in a home environment. • If employees must be “in office,” how will they travel to work when public transportation and fuel are cut off? Consider establishing carpool protocols or hiring a transportation service. For future events, consider storing fuel on site for distribution to key personnel. Be sure to follow official guidelines for fuel storage and distribution.

MAY : JUNE 2015 — COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION

WHEN DISASTER STRIKES

Communications

• Know your local emergency management, political leadership and law enforcement. Knowing these leaders can make or break your recovery when it comes to outside assistance making it into a restricted area or finding out key information that can aid in your recovery. • Document, document, document. Take pictures before, during and after the crisis (if it is safe to do so.) It will help aid the recovery effort and ensure that insurance has enough information to quickly and properly process claims. • Knowing your electrical demand ahead of time is critical. It can save time and potentially thousands of dollars when making decisions in the midst of a crisis. • If your generator is elevated to avoid flooding, make sure the fuel supply is elevated as well. Fuel sources and/or pumps to deliver fuel to a generator that is below or at ground level can be compromised by floodwaters. Additionally, any generators elevated above ground will be difficult to refuel. During Hurricane Sandy, some hospitals were forced to hand-carry containers of diesel fuel up dozens of flights of stairs to refuel generators on rooftops. • Have more than one fuel vendor available. Perhaps no other frustration attracted more media attention than the lack of fuel for both backup generators and vehicle use. Supply lines can be interrupted hundreds of miles away, affecting supply and local rationing can be imposed at any time. Be sure to have multiple vendors in the event a primary vendor’s operations are interrupted.

In every crisis, from large to small, communication is the key to recovering quickly. When planning, “communications” should be a top priority. Below are some suggestions that might allow you to better develop your crisis communications plan: • Having a single carrier for phone, internet and mobile access is a major point of failure. Diversify your communications providers to provide an extra layer of resilience. • Because communication is the key to any recovery, mobile service is a typical bottleneck during a regional crisis. For example, during Hurricane Sandy, smartphone power and network access were either limited or simply not available. Be sure you have a solar-powered or hand-crank charger for mobile devices. For those in healthcare, government, security, etc., consider satellite communications tools, including phones and internet providers. • When bandwidth is limited, text messaging might be your only means of communication. Know how to send texts to employees, staff, vendors and customers. Consider implementing a system for sending mass texts or email-to-text messages. Think about the different audiences you must communicate with immediately following a disaster: family, employees, partners, investors, vendors and customers. What is the message to each audience? If you communicate effectively, most people will be able to accommodate short-term disruptions and will remain loyal customers. But if you don’t communicate at all, they might simply find the next provider.

Planning

It seems like, sometimes, even the smallest detail can have the greatest effect on your ability to recover during a crisis. Here are a few tips:

There are companies that specialize in helping businesses create disaster recovery programs. Regardless of whether you use a specialty vendor to help build your plan or elect to devise one yourself, the key is having a plan. Many businesses never recover from a disaster; would yours? CCR

We don’t ask franchisees to do anything we’re not willing to do, including investing capital into growing the brand. Define your growth strategy.

It includes growing the brand with both franchised and company owned locations. Some other franchise brands are selling company owned locations, and asking only their franchisees to build new locations. We don’t share that perspective. We don’t ask franchisees to do anything we’re not willing to do, including investing capital into growing the brand. And given the returns we’re seeing from our new store openings, why wouldn’t we? That said, we are continually seeking new franchisees to join us in our crusade to grow faster and serve our great products to more consumers in more areas.

What markets are you targeting?

We’re primarily targeting markets in the Southeast and Midwest. We projected signing agreements for 75 restaurants this year and plan to open a dozen new locations by the end of 2015.

What’s driving the growth?

Our growth is driven by the success of our brand and the great economic returns our franchisees are receiving when opening new locations. We’re on the heels of an incredibly successful 2014 in which the brand signed agreements to open over 35 new restaurants, opened its first new corporate location in a decade, achieved its fourth consecutive year of same-store sales growth and generated half a billion dollars in system-wide sales. So far this year, we are on target to surpass each of those accomplishments in 2015. A revamped menu was also recently launched featuring better-for-you, fire-grilled options like Tilapia, Surf and Turf, Wild Alaskan Salmon and Shrimp Skewers, made possible from the recent installation of the new grilling system. This system is proprietary to Captain D’s and has flames from both the bottom and the top to ensure quality and quick grilling.

What does your refresh initiative look like?

Captain D’s recently unveiled a new building design featuring a vibrant coastal atmosphere and upgraded dining experience with plate ware and silverware. To date, we’ve remodeled 132 restaurants. By the end

Changing the

Inside the Shake Shack machine

By Daniel Nicely

t started as a simple hot dog cart in 2001. Now, 14 years later, Shake Shack is one of the most beloved restaurants in New York City. Opened in 2004, the permanent, 555-square-foot kiosk is nestled in the heart of the historic Madison Square Park.

Shake Shack’s first location serves as a representation of how a seemingly small construction project can exceed the client’s needs and seamlessly harmonize with its environment and atmosphere.

Today, Shake Shack’s nearly 60 additional locations are found across the United States and as far away as Turkey and Russia. After its first day of public trading in January 2015, Shake Shack received a massive valuation of $1.63 billion. There are myriad reasons Shake Shack is becoming an international powerhouse, but one of the biggest may be the iconic building itself. The precursory hot dog cart first opened in summer 2001 to support “I Love Taxi,” Madison Square Park Conservancy’s first ever art installation. Due to its wild success, each summer for the next two years, famed restaurateur Danny Meyer wanted to create a more permanent location for Shake Shack – one that would help lessen the business’ environmental footprint. So, in 2003, he assembled a team of master design experts, including Manhattan-based graphic design firm Pentagram’s partner Paula Scher and acclaimed architect James Wines, founder and president of

SITE, the internationally renowned architecture and environmental design organization based in New York City. But before construction could begin, the team had to endure a long approval process with the Madison Square Park Conservancy, which had been hard at work since the 1990s to restore the park to its former glory in the revitalized business district. At first, the city’s historical commission was reluctant to allow a fast food establishment to be constructed in the park. But in a twist of fate, it was discovered that the original 19th century plans for Madison Square Park, designed by Ignatz Pilat and William Grant, included the foundation for a food kiosk in the southern end of the space. The intended food kiosk had never been built, opening the door for the Shake Shack team.

Green means goes

Once the green light was given to move forward with the design process, Wines and Scher envisioned a concept reflective of the classic highway hamburger stands of the ’50s and ’60s, where families would stop to rest and enjoy a bite to eat during long road trips or other journeys. The perverse idea of stopping at a roadside-esque restaurant for a quick burger and fries in a bustling, high-traffic park in the middle of New York City was an original and exciting concept. This 21st century reimagining of an Americana staple also tied in the nearby commercial strip, drawing inspiration from the triangular shape of Daniel Burnham’s Flatiron Building.

The perverse idea of stopping at a roadsideesque restaurant for a quick burger and fries in a bustling, high-traffic park in the middle of New York City was an original and exciting concept. This imagery, combining the tough, rough-edged restaurants of generations past, with the sophistication of the proximate skyscrapers – all within a pastoral urban park – surprised and deeply resonated with the public.

Welcome to the Shack

Another major design necessity was to incorporate an environmentally friendly exterior. Corrugated VMZINC Quartz-Zinc Metafor panels cover the building’s façade, which directly reflects the Flatiron Building’s color and rib-like surfaces. Selecting zinc as the primary exterior building material allowed SITE and Pentagram to create distinctive, eye-catching lines. Because zinc is durable and highly modern in appearance, as well as eco-friendly in that it is fully recyclable, the material was a natural choice. Tying in naturally with the area’s preexisting balance of rustic and industrial, the zinc panels were so successful that they also were used in more than 10 of Shake Shack’s other global locations. In addition to the zinc façade, the building’s other architectural elements leave a lasting impression. To incorporate more environmental elements, the building is an early adopter of the green roof, featuring a large, inclined shade trellis covered in English ivy. In doing so, the building blends beautifully into the scenic flora and fauna of the park and becomes its own miniature garden. This top section of the structure also includes an interpretation of an I-beam sculpture spelling out each of the main menu items – shakes, burgers, hot dogs, fries, soda, and more. Wines describes this design choice as a way to construct the “menu as the building,”

turning this list of Shake Shack’s quintessential American fare into the main focal point. What’s more, this portion of the building appears to float over the service counters below, which are completely enclosed by glass. A visually stunning illusion, the glass allows visitors to see through the building and get a glimpse of the trees on the other side. Upon design completion, the sustainable zinc and glass structure was constructed in a factory in Montclair, N.J., and subsequently installed in Madison Square Park in 2004. It quickly became evident that the new Shake Shack building was an impressive feat that deeply connected with park goers, ranging from busy New York locals to eager tourists hoping to get the full Big Apple experience. Now a fixture in the community, Shake Shack’s first location serves as a representation of how a seemingly small construction project can exceed the client’s needs and seamlessly harmonize with its environment and atmosphere. With lines lengths consistently spanning nearly two blocks for more than a decade, the building serves as a beacon to hungry patrons looking for a delicious, classic American bite. In October 2014, the inaugural Madison Square Park Shake Shack was temporarily closed for renovations. Expected to reopen in mid-2015, the update will expand the building by 4 feet to create additional food preparation space. The interior will experience the majority of the overhaul, adding a new kitchen and more storage. The exterior, including the zinc paneling, will remain virtually the same. CCR

Contaminated Concrete Slabs are Very Bad News for New Flooring Systems

evelopers, designers and contractors in charge of renovation, restoration and redevelopment projects need new specifications and new tools for installing flooring systems over older, contaminated concrete. “There is a definite surge in technical support requests we are receiving for treating contaminated concrete slabs,” says Johann Bohlmann, VP of Field Operations for ACTech | Allied Construction Technologies Inc. based in Norfolk, Virginia. 1. Warehouses, historic landmarks and assembly plants being repurposed for residential, hospitality and commercial use are revealing concrete slabs contaminated with oil, grease, industrial chemicals, chlorinated hydrocarbons and other organic substances. 2. Schools, office buildings, and institutional facilities undergoing long-overdue flooring upgrades are confronting stubborn residues left behind from soy-based products used to remove mastics and adhesives. 3. S hopping mall conversions and retail tenant build-outs are exposing concrete floors contaminated by cooking oils, cleaning liquids, blood, sugar and other stubborn residues that leaked through the previous flooring. “You cannot just place new flooring systems on old slabs after mechanical surface preparation and expect them to meet performance specifications,” says Bohlmann. “Aggressive shot-blasting and grinding will do a good job at removing surface contaminants. But the organics

that have soaked into the slab over years and years of prior use will eventually rise to the surface and cause delamination.” ACTech works with project specifiers and renovation contractors around the country to deal with this stubborn issue. One solution is the ACTech Oil Buster System Coating; a very dense, zero VOC, twopart epoxy which seals and contains the organic contaminants within concrete so that they do not interfere with underlayments, adhesives, or final floor coatings. The Oil Buster System was originally developed, manufactured and applied in Germany by AB Polymerchemie (first certified in 2003 as an ISO 9001 manufacturer) and AC•Tech’s own Johan Bohlmann. It was a very specially engineered product to fit a very specific and growing need in the early 1990’s. First used to CONTAIN oil and other industrial pollutants found in concrete floors of WWII-era manufacturing plants from further leaching into the groundwater, the need for such a pollution containment technology then spread to Eastern Europe after the Wall came down… and, then to Asia where industrialization was progressing at break-neck speed.The second market demand for the Oil Buster oil-resistant resin technology was to facilitate easy surface clean-up in modern industrial facilities, thus PREVENTING spilled oil and other contaminants from soaking into unprotected concrete slabs in the first place. Again, Europe and Asia generated the greatest market demand.The third market demand is now coming from building renovation, repurposing and remodeling markets in the US where a need exists to emulsify, remove and contain contaminants in concrete so they don’t interfere with application of new flooring systems.

Contact Johann directly to determine how the ACTech Oil Buster System could help prepare a contaminated slab ready to accept your final flooring systems within days.

Sustainable roofing system helps Oahu’s Turtle Bay Resort go green

and ambience of Hawaii.

By Matthew Barmore

ituated on 852 acres, the Turtle Bay Resort is an oasis for outdoor enthusiasts with five miles of beach

and 12 miles of oceanfront hiking trails to enjoy and explore. This is in addition to 36 holes of championship golf, and a wide array of ocean and land activities. All 450 guestrooms and suites offer ocean views, and there are seven

In 2013, the popular resort located on Oahu, Hawaii’s remarkable North Shore underwent a roofing renovation. There were many obstacles facing Turtle Bay Resort’s design and construction team, which included Honolulu Roofing, Walters Kimura Motoda, Hui Ku Maoli Ola, Division Seven Consulting of Hawaii and Firestone Building Products. The professionals were tasked with providing a roof that was functional and came with a reliable performance track record. The record was backed by a strong warranty, sustainability benefits and aesthetic qualities that would enhance hotel guests’ experience, while maintaining the surrounding area’s ambiance. “We are dedicated to preserving Hawaii’s delicate and natural resources as stewards of the land,” says Scott McCormack, VP of real estate for Turtle Bay Resort. “We have received positive feedback from our resort guests who appreciate the project’s eco-friendly benefits and are enjoying enhanced guestroom views of the ocean and landscape art atop the newly designed roofs.” To meet the wide-ranging needs of the more than 60,000 square feet of various spaces atop Turtle Bay Resort, several roofing system types were installed, including 20,000 square feet of Firestone Building Products’ SkyScape Vegetative Roof System. The green roof opened up a broad range of possibilities, giving the construction team an opportunity to design a roof-scape specific to the local Hawaiian culture. The plants selected for the vegetative roofing system are native to the area and thrive in the resort’s Pacific seashore climate. They include the Hawaiian nehe, a vine plant; akulikuli, a short, succulent grass; bright green carex; and hardy, flowering sedum. These native varieties require little to no maintenance once they are fully grown. The roofs also contribute to the Turtle Bay’s energy-reduction initiatives. The lower, southside vegetative roofs help decrease the amount of heat absorbed into the building, thereby reducing the energy necessary for cooling. As a result, Turtle Bay Resort’s owners anticipate an increase in annual energy savings. Furthermore, the irrigation system is connected to moisture meters to allow for maximum water conservation.

RULING THE SHORELINE As part of Turtle Bay Resort’s farm-totable initiative, fresh herbs and vegetables are grown in two separate open-air rooftop gardens. The produce is then harvested for resort chefs to use in the hotel’s Kula Grille and Paakai restaurants. In total, the rooftops feature more than 73,000 individual plants, adding to the lush natural landscape of the grounds and Oahu north shoreline. To complement the look and feel of the vegetative roofing, adjacent roofs or sections were “roof-scaped” with intricate, contemporary patterns using river rocks and native Hawaiian plants. The north rooftops are adorned with river rocks and sand, featuring gray-blue and black accents organized in fluid, linear patterns. In creating the artwork concept, Oahu-based designer Walters Kimura Motoda was inspired by the beauty of the North Shore’s alluring ocean waves.

To meet the wide-ranging needs of the more than 60,000 square feet of various spaces atop Turtle Bay Resort, several roofing system types were installed.

RULING THE SHORELINE was tasked with removing three different existing roof layers – a layer of built up roofing (BUR), under 8 inches of spray foam roofing, and a top layer of BUR covered with red cinder rock. Turtle Bay Resort’s owners requested that the red cinder block in the topmost roofing layer be removed for reuse in other areas of the property. The demolition process required nearly six months of steady, cautious work to complete and presented contractors with daily challenges. The task required particularly mindful removal of the rock to ensure its sustainable reuse. When one specific section of the original roofing was removed, rusty metal decking was discovered beneath it. The roof deck then needed to be replaced, increasing the project’s complexity and slightly extending its timeline. Included among the top priorities for the project was that the work remained invisible to guests, sometimes requiring contractors to reschedule around various events, such as The Triple Crown of Surfing or concerts, weddings and business functions hosted annually at Turtle Bay Resort. This required that roofing project tasks such as the removal of 50 square yards of dirt – a depth of about 3 feet – be executed creatively and discreetly. For example, the significant amount of dirt was removed via five-gallon buckets carried one at

Throughout each phase of the project, the famous Oahu north shore winds presented a significant safety challenge, forcing contractors to be entirely flexible in their construction schedule and willing to rearrange tasks at a moment’s notice. The potential for extreme weather conditions is the reason about 40,000 square feet of Firestone Building Products V-Force Vapor Barrier Membrane was installed. The material’s non-slip, ultraviolet-resistant surface can be left exposed to the elements for up to three months when used over an approved substrate. This enables it to function not only as a vapor barrier, but a temporary roof, which allowed Turtle Bay Resort’s work crews to maintain job schedules without interruption. The combination of the project’s size and detailed design makes it unique to Hawaii and beyond.

The key to control of your project: use a general contractor or not?

hile many property owners today recognize the benefits of hiring a general contractor to outsource functions that are not part of their core business, they can be hesitant to do so. Why? It’s often a control issue. They feel that without one of their own managing

a particular task or function, they run the risk of compromising quality or incurring cost overruns or delays, maybe all three. It’s true: no two construction or renovation projects are alike. Although there can be some commonalities, there’s no one size fits all. So how can property owners realize the benefits of hiring and trusting a general contractor without losing that sense of control? Here is a start. Make sure your contractor can answer the following three questions to your complete satisfaction. If they can’t, move on since any initial price savings can be easily erased and long forgotten by the project end.

Question #1, Control the Process – What are their procedures? Running a construction and particularly a renovation project, is very difficult without proper systems and procedures in place. Your General Contractor should demonstrate a complete understanding of project goals and the R O I. Most often, trying to keep a project “off the rocks,” is a tough challenge for even the best of contractors! A solid established company, that has successfully completed your type of project, should work closely with you, to understand your project goals, budget and timeline, allowing you to oversee the “big picture” instead of chasing all of the daily details.

Question #2, Do they have a written detailed plan with a critical path timeline? Your contractor must prepare a written plan with written timeline, as a guide. This should indicate what, when and where important issues may arise. Understanding early on, where roadblocks may occur are imperative. Your contractor should understand project delays and the consequences and the importance in working with you, proactively, investigating possible solutions, prior to these delays occurring. Delays can seriously affect your project’s timeline and increase your budget significantly with costly change orders.

Question #3, Control the information – How will they communicate? The key to your control is your receiving of information in a timely manner which enables you to act on that information with with your general contractor, making decisions as your project progresses, thus improving your projects overall outcome. This sounds so logical but is It is important for your contractor to have a cohesively plan for communications on all key project issues, both good and bad. Doing so allows for timely reactions. Determine exactly how you will be kept informed, digital photos, (when applicable), conference calls, and face to face meetings, etc. and how often. This needs to be done, by all involved parties, consistently, and not requiring large blocks of time. Your general contractor must have a definite plan for communications. While price can be a factor when selecting a general contractor for your project, don’t let it be the determining factor. It’s a fact, most good general contractors, working on your behalf, can and will actually save you money. Because the good ones that accomplish projects day-in and day-out understand completely the project goals and can work aggressive timelines to move projects ahead at an accelerated pace. After all, the least amount of down time and disruption in your daily business always equates to savings.

Glowing reports Phoenix hospital project expansion hits the mark By Ron Treister

n August 26, 2014, Chandler Regional Medical Center, a member of the Dignity Health organization, opened its new 96-bed tower. Located roughly 25 miles south of Phoenix, the 171,000-square-foot expansion brought the hospital’s bed count to 339,

and allowed for an ongoing program of adding and growing comprehensive healthcare services.

In December 2011, Kitchell and Orcutt | Winslow Architects were chosen for the project. The team was given a clear mandate to design and construct the new patient tower, an immense task that would ultimately expand the hospital’s overall capacity, enhance key service lines and drive new office and medical development at its location. Site work on the $125 million project began in spring 2012, with vertical construction of the tower commencing the following November. At the peak of construction, it was estimated that the project had a workforce of more than 200. This was a big, exceedingly detailed A-grade architectural assignment with virtually nothing being overlooked. That, of course, included extremely professional, precision tile work, which to date, has been nothing less than outstanding. Scuderi Tile Contractors of Phoenix, a second generation tile and stone installation firm, was selected to handle this segment of the tower’s construction. “There were round mosaic columns which required very meticulous installation techniques,” says Anthony Scuderi, VP of Scuderi Tile Contractors. “In particular, two of our lead tile setters on the project (who are certified tile installers through the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation) were always right there on location to ensure that all work was nothing short of being perfect. On the flat work, there was a mixture of 1/8-foot glass with 3/8-foot porcelain, requiring technical demands which certainly were not for neophytes.” Scuderi monitored every single minute detail of this intricate tile installation in collaboration with his partner, Bob Heath and their superintendent, John McKinnon. “Clearly, the substrate preparation required to accommodate the thin glass tile installation was a key factor to the overall finished product,” Scuderi says. “Our people had to follow an incredibly precise layout of the porcelain tile in conjunction with the glass

mosaic banding. This included the cutting and pre-mounting of the glass tile bands onto a rigid substrate to help facilitate a totally flush installation. Incorporating this technique was a major component used to achieve the finished product, as well.” Scuderi’s people installed Dal-Tile mosaics using premium installation materials from Bostik. His people worked in close conjunction with James Allred, Bostik’s territory sales manager of Consumer & Construction Business Unit, Rehaan Samat, customer service representative II from Dal-Tile (118) and Maija Johnson, a Dal-Tile architectural representative, both from the Phoenix area. By all accounts, the spirit of total cooperation shared by this group was perhaps the greatest reason why this tile installation was such a major success. “I greatly appreciated the opportunity, as it has always been a pleasure working with Scuderi Tile and Bostik throughout the past several years,” Dal-Tile’s Samat says. Dal-Tile products that were used in the project included City Lights Glass Mosaics (½-inch x ½-inch) specified by the designers at Kitchell and Orcutt | Winslow in the following colors: CL65 (St. Moritz), CL67 (Paris), CL71 (South Beach) and CL72 (Honolulu). Bostik products included Dimension RapidCure Grout #600 Diamond, and Blaze Urethane Grout and General Purpose Cleaner. Containing 60 percent recycled glass content, pre-mixed Dimension RapidCure Grout is a patented, reflective, water-based, urethane grout with a translucent binder that both reflects light and allows it to pass through. This adds an illuminating sparkle, creating one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional effects within glass tile installations. Offering a lifetime stain and superior crack resistance, Dimension RapidCure never needs to be sealed. It also installs up to 50 percent faster than traditional grouts, and contains an antimicro-

ast fall, when DRF Trusted Property Solutions won the Chatham Park Village Cooperative mechanical systems retrofit bid – weeks after they thought notification

might be announced – they had no choice but to pull the trigger. To complete the installations on schedule, it was “game on” for their best hydronics SWAT team effort. The heating season was bearing down on Chicago.

Fortunately, the Plainfield, Ill.-based plumbing and mechanical contracting firm had considered the possibility of a late start with mid-winter boiler replacements. As one DRF technician said, “It was a worst-case scenario for multiple boiler replacements,” with little room for error.

The 63 buildings with 552 units in Chicago’s South Side are WWII-era brick structures, only a few blocks from the Lake Michigan shoreline. Midwinter temps easily slip into the subzero range, and Windy City gusts were a certainty. DRF managers ran the numbers. They knew that tenants could be cut from their heat sources for only five or six hours, mid-winter. To complicate matters, there was no room on campus to stage the “SWAT” plan’s most crucial component – the prefabrication station. DRF’s plan called for off-site production of prefabricated, near-boiler piping with all key hydronic parts and pieces. They settled on warehouse space at their main hydronics shop 45 miles from Chatham. There, with production line precision, many of the boilers were fitted with all near-boiler piping, pumps and valves two to four boilers at a time. As soon as a van could be loaded with three or four assembled “rigs,” they were bound for Chatham where deliveries were made to separate installation teams.

Out with the old

Life at Chatham with the old, gas-fired cast iron boilers was not one of comfort. Poorly sized and literally falling apart at the seams, the old boilers were constantly short cycling, some days at a rate of seven to ten times per hour. Operational efficiency had fallen to less than 50 percent. Naturally, the systems were consuming inordinate amounts of fuel. The idea was to allow the old systems to provide what heat they could, even while their replacements were being prepared for active duty. The boilers of choice to be installed were modulating-condensing Laars NeoTherms, exceeding a thermal efficiency of 95 percent. Eighty-four of them were paired with 60-gallon Laars-Stor indirects to meet domestic water heating needs. Compact in size, the new boilers were easily maneuvered into tight spaces within the many mechanical rooms. They were rigged for operation, even while the old boilers groaned and heaved through their last living moments. As DRF teams became increasingly proficient at the replacement work, the actual down time – when fuel, supply and return lines were severed to the old boilers, and

the new systems could be activated – was between four to eight hours. During those critical daylight hours, the buildings were able to retain their heat so that temperature drops were never an issue. Because of the urgency of meeting heat needs at Chatham, DRF turned to Romeoville, Ill.-based manufacturer’s rep firm and custom manufacturer, Metropolitan Industries Inc. “We prepared 19, fully-assembled, split-skid boiler packages to further reduce down-time at the apartments,” says Matt Brickey, commercial sales associate.

Pinched schedule

Apartment owners were notified 72 hours before the workers were sent in to prepare the mechanical room. And because they were on a pinched schedule, weather was not a consideration: cold, wind or mountains of snow – DRF crews didn’t miss a step.

The only exception was an unexpected emergency. One day, the bottom of an old boiler disintegrated and fell out. The rusty swamp it created, and then the quickly noticed lack of heat and put that building to the top of the list for replacement. Working in tandem, a prefab team would prep the preassembled mechanical arrangements – with any needed modifications for specific boiler rooms – the day before a system was scheduled for installation. On install days, a demo team arrived at a building by 8 a.m. and immediately cut out and removed the old boiler and components. While they were cleaning up, they often heard another crew shuffling toward them with the new equipment. By 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. in the afternoon – with no variation – the install was complete and heat restored. “No one ever said, ‘We’re tired,’ ‘We’re cold,’ or ‘We don’t have a part.’ We promised to get the job done by the end

of the day, so that’s what we did,” says Scott Schnurr, DRF’s CEO. In the assembly area, once the near-boiler piping was fabricated for each boiler, including air and dirt separators and Taco pumps, all of the preassembled arrangements were moved aside and labeled for installation crews. § A t Chatham, 42 of the apartment buildings received a total of 84 boilers – all 150 MBH systems, each served by two 1/8HP Taco 0011, in line, wet rotor circulators. § N ineteen of the buildings received 38 Laars NeoTherms – each of the 285 MBH size. Those larger boilers are each served by two 1/6HP Taco 0013 circulators. § T he remaining two apartment buildings at Chatham were equipped with four larger, 500 MBH Laars NeoTherms. Circulation for each of these systems is handled with the use of two 1/6HP high-capacity Taco Model 2400 pumps per boiler.

“We work with Taco a lot,” Schnurr says. “The pumps and circs are reliable and have never been the source of call-backs for us. Also, Laars chose Taco as the OEM pumps for their boilers.”

Putting the plan in place

Chatham Park Village acts as a cooperative. There’s no landowner making decisions for tenants. While this has advantages for the families living there, there were challenges. Though each family gets a vote for all important decisions made, the “rule by committee” arrangement posed a few issues for DRF. “We had to look at all of the mechanical rooms and factor in pleas from the different cooperative members as to why their mechanical room should be serviced first,” Schnurr says. “With winter moving in fast, we had to decide which of the apartments were most in need of boiler replacements; we had to create the schedule and stick with it.”

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2015

The winter of 2013/2014 was the second snowiest and the coldest winter in Chicago history. The brick and plaster apartments don’t have a lot of insulation, so heat loss was an issue. DRF calculated that 16 men were required for the demolition and replacement process. Split into three-man teams, crews were deployed to Chatham to clear and clean up the mechanical rooms and prep for the installation of the new gear, while preinstall teams were offsite at DRF building the systems. All venting was precut and ready to go. Piping, shut off valves and all other components were preassembled as well. With just enough space in the mechanical rooms for a two-man install crew, the guys arrived on-site with all of the pre-fitted gear. They quickly made the necessary connections for venting, system loops, gas and electric, pushing with the efficiency of well-oiled teams to complete installations for each building.

“ With winter moving in fast, we had to decide which of the apartments were most in need of boiler replacements; we had to create the schedule and stick with it.” – Scott Schnurr, CEO, DRF

Whatever it takes . . . DRF crew members learned to carry hand warmers with them at all times, and have several thermoses of hot coffee and tea readily available. They even had several space heaters for mechanical rooms, and for the owners, serving as supplemental heat for the day while the install was taking place. Another factor DRF had to work against was snow removal. For the 63 buildings, four members of the co-op served as maintenance men. They couldn’t always get to where they needed to be in time to remove snow for the DRF crews. Knowing that it was either a setback waiting for the area to be cleared of snow, most times they just did it themselves to stay on schedule. There were several shovels and bags of salt in each truck.

“The low NOx NeoTherms also meet Energy Star’s ‘most efficient’ specs, exceeding current government requirements,” Schnurr says. “They qualify for rebate and tax credit programs – something that was a major benefit for the owners of the Chatham cooperative.” And, with the boiler’s on-board outdoor reset, the new boilers respond immediately to changes in Chicago weather. It was at DRF’s 20,000-square foot headquarters where the boiler assemblies took place. Depending on traffic, from the time they were dispatched, it took techs between 45 minutes and three hours (in snow) to arrive at Chatham Park Village. In April 2014, The Chatham Park Village Cooperative received a check for a total of $590,620 – all from rebates. While some of the money came from roof installation rebates, $527,857 alone came from the rebates relating to the Laars NeoTherm boilers. That’s smart project management. And, next winter, Chatham residents will warmly recall last winter’s Polar Vortex. CCR

The effects of construction accidents Inside the aftermath By Wilson Kehoe Winingham

he construction industry has the highest fatality rate of any industry in the United States. In 2013, the industry saw a total of 796 fatal injuries – with more than 100 more than the next highest industry fatality rate in transportation and warehousing. Within the construction industry, general construction laborers are the most at risk for injury or death on the job.

These statistics are frightening, and the reality is that most construction accidents could have been prevented. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards are in place to prevent most construction workplace accidents. Many of the primary causes of injury, including the fatal four – falls, struck by an object, electrocution, and caught-in/between – can be prevented if proper care is taken and OSHA standards are followed.

Dealing with construction site injury

When someone is injured or killed at a construction site, the ramifications can extend to family members and last a lifetime. Work-related injuries can cause a loss of income, chronic pain, extensive medical expenses, a decrease in quality of life and psychological suffering. Legal advice and workers’ compensation insurance can remedy the loss of income and medical expenses, but a worker can never get back his health and/or quality of life after a serious jobsite injury.

The attorney must carefully investigate every detail of the accident independent of the insurance investigation and the injured worker’s employer investigation. The evidence presented in construction accident cases often determines a worker’s or worker’s family’s ability to be made whole for medical expenses, lost income, legal fees, and more. Anyone who is injured on a construction site or other work site should remember the following advice to prepare for future legal action: 1. Seek medical attention for injuries, and obtain documentation of those injuries by the medical professional. 2. Take pictures of the injury and the place of the accident, or have a friend do so for you. These will serve as evidence that your attorney can use for your case.

Hiring a lawyer

Securing a lawyer is one of the most critical tasks to accomplish following a construction site injury. In most states, the statute of limitations is two years from the discovery of the injury. To find an experienced injury lawyer, look for referrals from another attorney. Lawyers often know professionals who practice in other areas of law, and can recommend a knowledgeable attorney for your case. To gauge a lawyer’s experience, find out how long he or she has been in practice and what kind of cases he or she has pursued. You should also look into information about which side of a case a lawyer normally works on. Finally, you always should ask whether or not your lawyer will work with you personally or have associates who will be your primary contacts. Having another attorney work on your case may not be a drawback, but you will likely need to meet with that person as well as your primary lawyer.

When you have found a suitable attorney, the next step is understanding the fee arrangement for your case. Having an understanding of what is expected up front will alleviate some of the stress that comes from managing a case. After you have hired an attorney, stay in touch regularly and remain informed about the progress of your case. The more you understand, the better equipped you will be to make good decisions throughout your case. A lawyer should always be transparent with you about the status of your case and any decisions that need to be made along the way. Experiencing an injury as the result of a construction site accident can be frightening and stressful. Balancing the details of the situation between your lawyer, insurance, and medical claims can be difficult, but not impossible. An experienced lawyer will be able to help you talk with or speak on your behalf to insurance, employers, and medical representatives, easing the experience of injury. Communication is key, and finding a good lawyer to help you get through the difficult time of dealing with a legal case and immediate medical expenses greatly can enhance your ability to resume your life as soon as possible after your injury.

Cause and effect Understanding the costly effect of corrosion on water/wastewater facilities By Stephanie Ellis

illions of dollars from public and private agencies have been invested in water/ wastewater infrastructure. Within these important applications, the constant presence of water creates a corrosive environment that threatens long-term success of critical components, systems and facilities. Consequently, water/wastewater requirements primarily are served using materials such as concrete, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, ductile iron, brass and copper.

CAUSE AND EFFECT

Approximately 50 percent of operational and maintenance costs in the water and wastewater industry can be attributed to corrosion. Nearly 15 percent of treated water is lost annually in the United States, which results in almost $3 billion of revenue loss each year. Ninety percent of that lost water is caused by corrosion-related leaks. To avoid the costly consequences of corrosion damage, specifiers must be able to implement prevention strategies that will work within a specific application. To do so, the first fundamental step is to understand corrosion and factors that might contribute to its occurrence. The second essential step is to use such knowledge to specify products that will best resist corrosion-causing factors

within the job’s particular environment. Some products are manufactured specifically to withstand corrosive environments in order to reduce replacement and rehabilitation costs that result from early product failure. As a key part of corrosion prevention strategies, it is essential to specify the correct products “up front,” as well as to make sure that specifications are respected during the purchasing and installation processes. At the time specifications are written, the owner and specifier should collectively understand the important reasons behind each decision, because both the cost-efficiency and long-term success of the project hinge on the integrity of these initial decisions and their subsequent enforcement.

In order to prevent these unnecessarily high operational and maintenance costs, corrosion must be prevented up-front, as well as in the long run.

A knowledge of contaminants that lead to corrosion is essential for specifiers to effectively address corrosive challenges specific to electrical conduit use in water/wastewater facilities. Knowing the various causes of corrosion in water/wastewater facilities is valuable knowledge for electrical specifiers when selecting electrical conduit for the facility. A “diagnosis” of the environment in which products will be used is essential to matching proven product performance properties with the fact that certain materials respond differently to corrosion caused by diverse factors. Below are some typical culprits of corrosion commonly found in water/wastewater facilities that require special attention when making specifications for conduit. Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) is added into treated water to be used as “Plant Water.” Sodium Hypochlorite pump stations are very corrosive, especially because the product is typically delivered via tanker trucks.

CAUSE AND EFFECT

A knowledge of contaminants that lead to corrosion is essential for specifiers to effectively address corrosive challenges specific to electrical conduit use in water/wastewater facilities. spills or tank over flows, and there is always electrical conduit around the facility and pump stations. Due to the highly corrosive nature of plant water, protection of electrical wires is crucial, and PVC-Coated conduit and fittings are recommended to prevent early failure and high replacement costs. Polymer is pumped into wastewater sludge as a thickening agent. A similar procedure is in place for trucking in the polymer, which usually results in spills and over flows. Again, PVC-Coated conduit and fittings are a must in this type of area. Liquid Oxygen is used in the industry to produce oxygen to feed, grow and multiply microorganisms. An on-site liquid oxygen plant always can be seen due to the familiar fog rolling off of it. This means that the plant is in sub zero temperatures and endures a lot of expanding and contracting of the electrical conduit, which can make wires vulnerable to the corrosive elements present within the facility. Using an ETL-Verified conduit helps maintain the structural integrity of a full conduit system. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is obtained from waste activated sludge, typically by a foul air system. Electrical contractors continually find that H2S is highly corrosive and usually leaves a white crystalized residue on anything within its vicinity. The H2S will corrode galvanized metals and conduit. When the best performing PVC-Coated conduit is specified and in place, contractors usually can wipe off this residue and see that the conduit was un-harmed. WAS (waste activated sludge) undergoes a process that turns it into TWAS (thickened waste activated sludge), which usually takes place in a dome structure. The inside of these domes is probably one of the most corrosive areas found in wastewater facilities. The H2S inside the done is raw, causing a dense air concentrate to form. Combined with the extremely high humidity inside the dome, moisture and H2S permeate the air to create a highly corrosive environment for electrical components. ETL-Verified conduit is necessary to prevent product failure in such extreme conditions.

Where can electrical specifiers gain additional knowledge about corrosion?

Many electrical specifiers working in the water/wastewater industry know they would benefit from additional education about corrosion and prevention, and accept the fact that expanded knowledge could greatly reduce overall cost on projects. Yet, in order to justify time spent away from the job, such instructional opportunities must truly address professional challenges without being “sales pitches” for individual products. The Corrosion College is one such educational experience that is strictly focused on providing effective, practical, and valuable guidance to its participants. The College is a two-day, accredited course that provides well-rounded, hands-on experience in understanding and combating the process of corrosion. The comprehensive curriculum includes case studies, laboratory workshops and interactive presentations demonstrating the details of proper installation and use of anti-corrosion products. The intensive structure of the course, taught by experienced industry professionals, is highly effective at providing a thorough knowledge of corrosion protection.

The solution for preventing corrosion

Water and wastewater facilities are highly corrosive environments, due to the large amounts of water processed daily and the corrosive chemicals used during treatment processes. This high risk of corrosion damage can cause premature equipment failure, product replacement, facility renovation, and temporary facility shut down – all of which drastically increase costs. In order to prevent these unnecessarily high operational and maintenance costs, corrosion must be prevented up-front, as well as in the long run. The best way to build a prevention strategy is for specifiers to be well-educated about the many factors that cause corrosion and the reliable products that can protect against corrosion. The two-day educational courses offered by Corrosion College provide all aspects of this crucial knowledge, enabling specifiers and electrical contractors to develop effective prevention strategies that can be applied to all of their projects.

benefits of working with a security design consultant Why you need one and how they can help By Bret Emerson

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting harder for building owners and system integrators to keep up with the latest

security trends. New technology seemingly pop ups every day. By adding a design consultant to the mix, a system integrator can work more effectively with the end user, which helps him understand that the systems are designed to specifically meet his unique needs.

SECURITY DESIGN

The consultant works as part of the design team and understands how each step of the design and implementation process works for the security system.

When a designer is hired by an end user to design a system, he has some control in how the system is bid out and whom the owner might choose to install the systems. In order to be considered for a job, the designer must know the integrators in each region of the country, the systems that are sold and installed, and the quality of their work. Many design consultants keep lists of security integrators they recommend. The biggest issue for an integrator is learning how to work with the design consultant and maximize that relationship. Have you considered hiring a design consultant for a particular project, but did not understand his role? Without the proper information in hand, this can be a common problem. It’s important to understand a security design consultant’s value and role in the project and how to build a lasting relationship.

Defining a technology design consultant

It’s important to explain the exact role a consultant plays in the overall picture. A security designer is a person or group that helps end users realize their technology goals, and delivers new ideas and recommendations from similar projects. The consultant can speak to architects and engineers and provide detailed documentation of what is happening before, during and after the installation. In addition, the designer can explain how the security systems fit into the building, and coordinate power and HVAC on site. He can make projects flow smoother and with less headaches, saving valuable time and money. With myriad security designers available to work with, it’s important to build relationships/partnerships with designers who have a long list of references. Referrals are a great way to grow your business and achieve success. Here are the five benefits of working with a security design consultant:

No. 1 – Sees entire picture

A security designer sees the entire picture, where an integrator can have tunnel vision and is limited to exactly what he is providing. Design consultants will create floor plans showing each device and how it is connected,

along with specifications detailing what the system will do. In addition, an integrator can rely on the consultant to make decisions based on the client’s budget and build project timelines. This enables the integrator to stay on time and budget.

No. 2 – Provides security assessments

A security designer will work with the end user to collect information and make security assessments prior to creating a security design. He conducts a threat assessment, which involves finding out the real and perceived threats to the client’s facility and people. The consultant defines what must be protected, who are the threats and vulnerabilities, what are the implications if they are damaged or lost, and what is their value to the organization. All these questions must be answered prior to designing the security system. The consultant saves the integrator time and money by doing the due diligence for them and ensuring the right system is implemented.

SECURITY DESIGN No. 3 – Great source of referrals

A security design consultant can be a great source of referrals for a security integrator. The design consultant has relationships with owners, architects and engineers, all of which provide valuable recommendations during the bid process. By building strong relationships with the design consultant, an integrator is setting the stage for future opportunities. He can create a mutual beneficial relationship for both parties. In return, the integrator can bring the designer in on projects that require a complete technology design package.

No. 4 – Industry specialist/expert on your team

The consultant works as part of the design team and understands how each step of the design and implementation process works for the security system. By working with a designer who specializes in the security industry, it’s easier to provide the best security technology to meet the client’s needs. The designer can provide

clear direction on what types of security technology is required, and create floor plans showing how each device is connected, i.e., card readers, cameras, monitors, etc.

No. 5 – Manages installation process/reduces errors

By working with a design consultant, the integrator can focus on the installation. He doesn’t have to worry about managing the process. As an integrator, it can be difficult to get paid for the design and installation. The design consultant will work with the entire team to ensure the project runs smoothly. By having a security design consultant on your team, you’re getting the best advice to help build a security system that meets your needs. Whether you’re an integrator or building owner; the benefits are a win-win situation for both parties. CCR

ALL EYES AHEAD Compared with general construction jobs, build-outs are more costly per square foot, exceeding hundreds of thousands of dollars to create a store from the ground up. As such, stakeholders stand to benefit significantly from the enhanced project management tools construction cameras provide. Owners and contractors can benefit from 24/7 jobsite access and archival records for both smaller in-line stores and big-box projects.

Project management for remote teams

Any retail construction project manager considering the use of interior construction cameras for the first time will begin with return on investment (ROI) and how the products can save time and money on a project. The potential for process improvement, compressed construction timelines, and quality control is significant when construction cameras are providing constant virtual access to the jobsite from anywhere in the world. “We use the cameras for various purposes in our construction project management – from monitoring construction build-out, to remotely checking into site inquiries and managing crews,” says Brett Whittman, Sephora construction project man-

management, however, we have seen benefits in time management as well, which ultimately impacts our bottom line.”

Maintaining order in a crowded workspace

At any given time, a retail space may have five different subcontractors represented, each with as many as five people working in a small area. A clean, well-organized space is more productive and reduces the potential for damage to products when they arrive on the job site. Interior build-out managers put a lot of responsibility on their contractors to maintain an orderly project, and construction cameras ensure those expectations get communicated in real time. For example, with the use of a time-lapse interior construction camera, a mobile device retailer saw power outlets for merchandising displays were being installed at a height too low for the incoming fixtures and was able to quickly set the situation right. That level of construction management detail goes a long way to preventing costly mistakes.

Making team meetings more effective

Robert Hubbs is a solutions architect for Calgary-based Infinitus Enterprise Services Inc., where he provides digital marketing architecture services to retailers in Canada. Having used construction cameras for interior build-outs, Hubbs has seen firsthand how they quickly become an indispensable tool. In order to extract the most value from a camera, project teams new to the technology should be shown how to use construction camera tools for maximum impact. “We use time-lapse video for our weekly steering meetings,” Hubbs says. “Time-lapse – Brett Whittman, Construction Project Manager, Sephora video allows owners to be more comfortable ager. “It is an exceptionally valuable asset in terms of resources, with the money they put out. They like seeing how many times the budget and time management.” forklift had to come in to drop steel.

Users can retrieve archived images or view up-to-date timeConstruction cameras also allow for just-in-time delivery of lapse movies of an entire project, and cellular-based time-lapse fixtures and products by giving team members real-time views of service provides seamless data delivery. All images should be contractor and supplier activity. Cameras not only let users see archived and managed in an off-site data centre, protecting sensitive information from disaster or security breaches. Managed correctly, when expensive fixtures have been delivered, they also help verify virtually every moment of construction is available for immediate the materials are being handled properly. A typical national retailer review, and the archives provide a permanent as-built record.

Project managers in the retail build-out space “Images have been used at meetings to virtually build a store are no strangers to travel, but being able to schedule site visits more in front of everyone’s eyes in a matter of minutes,” Whittman says. effectively is an appealing prospect. “This makes quite a statement when our projects are 14 weeks “A construction camera is a good tool for making sure certain in duration, particularly for those who are not in the construction target dates are attained by our general contractors,” Whittman says. industry.

LEGAL EASE

Inside the construction contract By Michael Bosse

s a construction lawyer, I like to take a look at the best practices for construction contracts. A construction contract allocates project risks to different project participants. Unfortunately, because of the breakneck speed of the world today, not every construc-

tion contract gets a detailed review before execution. Often, firms are so elated to get the work that no review takes place. Everyone should strive to avoid being in this position. Time spent on the front end understanding and negotiating the construction contract always will add value to the end product. Understanding your risks is half the battle on a construction project, and being oblivious to them can spell disaster. The vast majority of construction disputes concern either scope of work, quality of work or price. Focusing on these three areas will solve the majority of future headaches. I will cover each of

these areas briefly, and devote the remainder of the article to other important contractual concepts.

Scope of work

All parties involved must have a thorough understanding of the scope of the work. Contractors must ensure in pricing that no gaps or holes exist. The contractor generally focuses on discrete items of construction. To the contrary, the owner wants a completed building. If an owner agrees to a certain lump sum, there most likely will be plenty

of heartburn if extra costs appear down the road for work the owner thought already was included.

Quality of work

Both the owner and contractor’s perspective is important. From the contractor’s view, what are the rights of the owner to consider work defective and to reject it? Is the time to cure defective work to avoid termination reasonable? Do the owner’s warranty rights exist for a sufficient but not unreasonably long time period? From the owner’s perspective, is the warranty realistic? Do exclusions to the warranty eviscerate its usefulness? Both sides must understand the scope of warranty coverage, and in the best case scenario, the signed contract is fair and gives adequate protection to both sides.

Price

Lump sum projects are easier because the price is fixed, and both sides have to live with that price. On cost plus contracts – those with a guaranteed maximum price – both sides should understand what “costs” are part of the deal. Again, the failure to have a meeting of the minds here can cause obvious problems later.

The vast majority of construction disputes concern either scope of work, quality of work or price. Focusing on these three areas will solve the majority of future headaches. Apart from scope of work, quality and price, there are some other important concepts in construction contracts. For example, a contract usually carries a specific time period in which notice must be made of claims against the other side. Miss the deadline, and the claim may be extinguished. Much later, a judge might even enforce what one might consider to be an unreasonably short time period (48 hours for an unforeseen condition). Because predicting how it will turn out in court is difficult, the best practice is to fully understand and negotiate a reasonable time deadline on claims made during the progress of the project. Insurance is another area that is sometimes glossed over at this stage. Insurance is a major way that risks are covered on a construction project. For example, owners can insure for the value of the work in place by purchasing a builders risk policy. Contractors have workers compensation insurance, liability and auto insurance that cover its project operations. A best practice for owners and contractors is to run the insurance provisions of a construction contract by their insurance agent to ensure that there is appropriate coverage in place.

In addition, one must understand the termination provisions of a contract. Can the owner terminate for cause only, or can they terminate without the presence of a contractor default? Under what circumstances can the contractor terminate in light of non-payment? Termination should be a matter of last resort, because termination of a contract can often lead to litigation. But if there must be a termination, one must understand if he has the right to do so, when he can, and how to follow the letter of the contract to terminate properly. Finally, consciously think about the choice of forum for resolving disputes. Although arbitration has been popular, the pendulum has started to swing, and now there is a more even distribution between those who favor litigation in court, mediation or binding arbitration. One must ensure, however, that all project participants are resolving the dispute in the same place. You don’t want to have to arbitrate with your engineer, while the claim with your contractor proceeds in court. CCR Michael Bosse is a shareholder at Bernstein Shur in Portland, Maine.
