EDITOR’S NOTE

EDITOR’S NOTE

by Michael J. Pallerino

A big dog says goodbye K eeping mostly to himself, Ed Stack was one of the most laid back (shy, really) sporting good executives in the room. In the late ’80s, Dick's Sporting Goods, of which Stack serves as CEO, wasn't the mother-of-all sporting goods retailers that it is today.

That honor belonged to The Sports Authority (TSA).

During our Sporting Goods Retail Summits, everybody wanted to get in front of Sports Authority CEO Jack Smith, the former COO of Herman’s World of Sports. Smith was a “dressed-to-the-nines,” commanding figure who demanded attention, even when he didn’t say a word.

Walk into a Dick’s Sporting Goods or Academy Sports today, and you can see the history – and legacy – that Sports Authority created.

As one of TSA’s key founding executives, Smith would help lead the retailer to heights other sporting goods executives could only dream about at the time – a super-sized sporting goods outlet known as the superstore. At the time, the concept boggled the mind.

As an editor for Sports Trend magazine, I was lucky enough to be a part of retail history. Along with The Sports Authority, our Summits were filled with leaders from Modell’s Sporting Goods, REI, Foot Locker, Champs, The Finish Line, Dunham’s Sports, and the list went on. These innovate and enterprising minds charted the future of an industry that would change the way we viewed retailing.

Founded in Lakes Mall in Lauderdale Lakes, Fla., The Sports Authority was created by a venture capital syndicate. In the five

years from the day it opened its first store in 1987 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., TSA expanded to 136 stores in 26 states, eventually being spun off from parent Kmart. Later, it would merge with Gart Sports (2003) and Copeland Sports (2006), continuing its ascension into retail folklore.

As with most trendsetters, It was a great ride – until it wasn’t.

One of Sports Authority’s biggest problems was its debt. Analysts blame, among other things, TSA’s attempt to invest heavily in e-commerce and store remodels. In addition, it had to compete with Dick’s, which has the liquidity and sales figures to weather market fluctuations, and Amazon, which continues to steal market share from many big box stores. Retail differentiation also was an issue. Competition from omnichannel merchants, as well as brands themselves (Nike and Under Armour stores, for example), made it difficult for Sports Authority to stand out in the marketplace.

In the cruelest of ironies, Dick’s is eyeing spaces from some of the 463 stores Sports Authority will close (along with sites from another bankrupt competitor, Sport Chalet). The closings will leave about 20 million square feet of sporting goods retail space.

Back in the day, it’s hard to say if anybody could have imagined the rise – and eventual fall – of The Sports Authority. Walk into a Dick’s Sporting Goods or Academy Sports today, and you can see the history – and legacy – that Sports Authority created.

And, as the commercial construction market continues its rebound from hard times that smacked every market around, you can plainly see the steps each brand takes to ensure that growth is measured – and quantified.

What are your memories and thoughts of the “superstore” approach to retailing? I’d love to hear them?

Michael J. Pallerino is the editor of Commercial Construction & Renovation. You can reach him at 678.513.2397 or via email at mikep@ccr-mag.com.

We want to hear from you At Commercial Construction & Renovation, we’re always looking to showcase the best of what our industry is doing. If you have a project profile or a fresh perspective on how to keep our industry positively moving forward, shoot me an email at mikep@ccr-mag.com. We’d love to take a look.

Safe use of safety nets S afety nets are used to deflect and absorb the energy of a falling person or object in order to avoid injury to people and damage to property. Safety nets have three essential features: deflection, absorption and height. They are classified by British Standard BSEN1253-1 according to mesh size and energy absorption, and

they must meet strict criteria depending on their intended purpose.

For example, if the fall height is more than 6 1/2 feet, the safety net must be at least 376.74 square feet, with a maximum fixing space of 8 feet 2.43 inches. You can find more essential information about safety nets in our infographic below.

Land ahoy Report show growing opportunity for urban land restoration

T

here is land – lots of it – sitting idle in cities across the country, according to a report by Arcadis, a leading global design and consultancy firm. Arcadis’ “Urban Land Restoration Index (ULRI)” shows there is a goldmine of untapped resources in major cities like New York, and smaller cities such as Charlotte, Denver and Nashville, Tenn. – 27 cities in all.

The ULRI identifies the cities where sites are most cost-effective to clean up, while providing the greatest potential for long-term uplift

and returns for residential, commercial, and mixed-use development.

Arcadis believes the parcels could attract renewed investment and revitalize former industrial sites.

By enabling industrial land owners, city leaders and developers to focus on common opportunities, ULRI will help to unlock the potential of surplus industrial properties – breathing new life back into communities, creating a lasting legacy for citizens, and generating significant returns from prime, underutilized land.

Find it, and they will come...

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2016

A foundation of

excellence

By Michael J. Pallerino

How McKibbon became the face of hospitality

A

t McKibbon, the strategy is pretty straightforward. The award-winning, privately held company doesn’t just

measure its success by the quality of its work, but also by the lives it touches along the way. It’s not about the volume of hotels it builds and manages.

That last part is pretty important. For more the 50 years, McKibbon Hospitality has operated on always adhering to its core values of integrity, trust and loyalty. The Gainesville, Ga., and Tampa, Fla.-based company continues to forge working relationships with a portfolio that features more than 80 properties throughout the United States, and includes over 70 hotels managed for third-party owners.

The McKibbon brand specializes in select-service, extended stay and lifestyle brands, including hotel powerhouses such as Courtyard

by Marriott, Residence Inn by Marriott, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, TownePlace Suites by Marriott, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Hampton by Hilton, Four Points

by Sheraton and Aloft Hotels.

Since 1994, McKibbon has won honors for top new build and top general manager every year. With a strength in the professional teams it brings to the table, the company continues to build a foundation of excellence in every facet of hospitality development and management, from site selection and financing, to construction and hotel opening.

Commercial Construction & Renovation sat down with Erik Rowen, VP of Development, to see what McKibbon Hospitality’s plans are for 2016 and beyond

MAY : JUNE 2016 — COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION

27

A FOUNDATION OF EXCELLENCE Give us a snapshot of today’s hospitality marketplace.

Things are quite busy right now. It seems we still have some labor shortages in certain sub markets, but we are continuing to embrace key contractor partnerships to ensure the success of our projects.

Tell us about what we should expect from McKibbon in 2016.

We have several exciting new build projects underway right now, including projects with Marriott, Hilton and Starwood. Our projects range from an urban dual brand property, to mixed-use urban projects, to conventional more prototypical hotels.

What is the most pressing item on McKibbon’s to-do list?

We really want to grow our development footprint by helping others develop. We are expanding our third party development services.

We have the capacity and are excited to share our experience and expertise with other owners.

28

We are fortunate to have great resources in the industry to help us maximize value for our properties. We are also focusing a great deal on new technology and sensible green initiatives.

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2016

How has business been this year overall?

Business has been great. Strategically, we have been able to put together some very complex deals and see them transform into reality without the vision being altered.

What have been some of the biggest surprises this past year?

I would have to say the Marriott and Starwood merger.

What are some of your biggest opportunities moving ahead?

I think that our biggest opportunity from a development perspective is to further develop our relationships with key consultants, contractors, franchisors and third party owners. They are the biggest contributors to our success.

Are you optimistic about the road ahead?

Yes, I am definitely optimistic about the road ahead, yet ready to redirect our

course as needed. There always seems to be great opportunities. Regardless of where we are in the cycle, it is just a matter of finding them and making sure we are in the best position to adapt to the changing environment.

What is your growth plan? How many locations are you targeting in 2016?

Strategically, we have been able to put together some very complex deals and see them transform into reality without the vision being altered.

We currently have five hotels under construction, with a few more in the pipeline to get under way by the end of the year.

What’s driving the growth?

Our growth is driven by brand availability in target markets with the right mix of demand and amenities.

What markets are you targeting?

Ah, that’s a trade secret.

Talk about your refresh strategy?

We provide renovation management services for our owned hotels and for hotels owned by third parties. We feel it’s important to keep our hotels “refreshed” to maintain our competitive advantage while not spending capital dollars on items that don’t truly enhance the guest experience.

All of the brands seem to be evolving to address the changing needs of the Millennial traveler from a technological perspective and a lifestyle perspective. We are addressing these issues in our renovation program by always staying focused on the needs of our guests.

MAY : JUNE 2016 — COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION

29

A FOUNDATION OF EXCELLENCE What trends do you see evolving in the hospitality construction arena?

We are constantly studying new construction methods and techniques to save cost and time during construction without impacting the quality or longevity of the project. We also look at replacement cost and study lifecycle analysis whenever we introduce new methods and materials. It is key to keeping a competitive edge.

We are fortunate to have great resources in the industry to help us maximize value for our properties. We are also focusing a great deal on new technology and sensible green initiatives.

Walk us through your construction strategy.

We focus on partnering with contractors that we have built relationships with over time. It reduces risk and volatility in the project cost, which allows the pricing we receive to be

A FOUNDATION OF EXCELLENCE more competitive. Everyone knows what the others expectations are, therefore the expectations are easier to meet.

One-on-one with...

What does your sustainability plan look like?

We focus on sustainability, not only during construction, but for post construction/post opening processes as well. We target common sense green initiatives that are good for the environment and create value for our properties.

Erik Rowen VP of Development, McKibbon Hospitality

How important is that your customers?

It’s very important. Our customers are environmentally conscious and expect us to be as well.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job?

It’s definitely the relationships and friendships I have created with our consultants, contractors, designers, franchisors and McKibbon colleagues.

What was the best advice you ever received?

That the true strength of your relationships will always shine the brightest during the darkest moment. It’s easy to get along when everything goes the way it is supposed to, but it’s when you have challenges and problems when we all get tested. That is when our true colors show.

What’s the best thing a client ever said to you?

When franchisors call us for advice, or to give feedback on brand items.

What are the three strongest traits any leader should have?

Honesty, integrity and loyalty.

Tell us about any awards you have received?

What is the true key to success for any manager?

For any manager, it is to be able to align yourself with the best people to have on your team.

We have received awards for hotel opening of the year from every brand. We focus a great deal on our openings, both from a construction perspective and an operational perspective. Having a great opening really sets the property and its staff up for success.

What’s your favorite vacation spot and why?

The Florida Keys – it’s really the best place for my family and I to escape everyday life. It’s so relaxing.

What is today’s customer looking for?

What book are you reading now?

It is a biography about Elon Musk. The guy is intense.

They want an experience that is unique to the destination, whether it’s the local cuisine, art, craft brewery, etc. They want to be immersed in the local culture.

What should people expect from McKibbon brand moving forward?

Innovation, cutting edge technology, strong ties to local culture, including, but not limited to art at each property. CCR

How do you like to spend your down time?

My family and I spend all of our down time on the water at Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Ga. My wife and children love boating, sailing and water sports. There is really no place we would rather be.

sk an architect for his ideal structure, and you might get an unbuildable landmark. Ask a contractor for the same, and you might get a box.

But ask an owner, and you’ll probably get something like this – a functional facility that meets business needs, comes with the latest building technology, looks great, lasts, provides energy savings and can be built quickly at a good price.

As solutions providers, it’s our job to step beyond the narrow silos of the traditional architect, contractor or specialty contractor and deliver results. Given today’s complex building needs and aggressive projects, we must align our thinking, strategies and solutions as a cohesive team.

And we need a project delivery method that makes it possible.

Fortunately, one has been proven time and again to create a successful team environment that fosters smarter projects, smoother delivery and reductions in risk, cost and schedule – not just for owners, but also for project teams. That method is Design-Build.

How to get the job done better, faster and smarter with Design-Build

By Todd Imming

Create opportunity to add and capture value

In most any job, the best opportunities to capture value are before the project begins and in early design. Specifically, by bringing together the expertise of a full team and working in open discussion with the owner, you can align the project to achieve maximum value.

Whether you’re building a distribution center to support logistical efficiency or a hospital to support quality care, collaborating up front as an expert team allows you to define top-level and specific goals, then identify the most sound design and construction solutions.

Single-source responsibility

How many times have you seen something like this happen on a job? An architect designs a facility, then a contractor wins the job and begins construction, but a specified building solution is impractical or expensive to build.

A change order is requested, the architect and contractor spar over whose fault it is, and the owner is stuck with a higher bill and project delays. In many traditional design-bid-build projects, this is standard operating procedure.

Now picture this: Architect, contractor, owner and specialty contractors sit down with a proposed, early-stage design. This multi-disciplined project team reviews the design for potential issues of cost, schedule and constructability. Specific strategies are developed to alleviate any ambiguities left in the design. And any potential problems are identified, solved and averted before construction begins.

Sounds a lot better right? That’s how it works in Design-Build.

In the Design-Build project approach, one entity takes single-source responsibility for all project aspects. All team members are contractually aligned from the start, instead of working against each other and taking on concerns of contractual blame. Not only is life easier for the owner, but also for all project team members, who are freed up to solve problems through collaboration.

Early stage designs incorporate the expertise of a full team and can be adapted to put the project on a course for success. The entire job becomes an exercise in value engineering, with specialty trades and domain experts gaining the ability to offer value-added solutions on everything from energy efficiency to foundation construction and flooring materials.

Through Design-Build, your team and your project become more valuable to the owner, who reaps the value of a smarter project.

Controlling the process

Some contractors shy away from taking on the design risks associated with Design-Build. In our experience, there’s far greater risk in not taking some ownership of the design process.

To us, the look and feel of a facility is only one part of the design. Without incorporating cost, schedule and constructability analysis into the design, it’s incomplete. And an incomplete design leads to change orders, delays, quality concerns or worse – contract disputes and even safety issues.

MAY : JUNE 2016 — COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION

83

THE SMART CHOICE

Simply put, it’s more risky to deal with change orders, delays and problems on the job site than it does to get it right from the start. Design-Build reduces risk by bringing together the whole team and ensuring potential problems are addressed before they become costly.

Results speak for themselves

Starting with defined project goals and best-value solutions, Design-Build paves the way for smarter construction and cost savings. Then, with solutions identified and all parties onboard, your project team has the freedom to aggressively deliver innovative strategies that add value.

Job site preparation can overlap latter sections of the design process, with project elements nested for fast-track delivery. Designs can better account for how the structure actually will be built and how materials will be installed. Clashes in the use of space can be avoided, creating the opportunity to deliver better solutions for building enclosures, MEP systems, specialty systems (e.g. conveyors in a warehouse) and everything in between.

The result is a faster, higher quality project delivered at the best price. And the numbers back it up. According to a 2014 study conducted by the McGraw Hill Construction, 20 percent of Design-Build projects are completed ahead of schedule – a far higher number than design-bid-build projects completed early.

And a detailed 1998 study of 351 projects conducted by the Construction Industry Institute and Penn State Research, found that Design-Build provides: • 4.1 percent less unit cost than design-bid-build • 33.5 percent faster project delivery than design-bid-build • 5.2 percent less cost growth than design-bid-build • 11.4 percent less schedule grown than design-bid-build The results speak for themselves. With Design-Build, you can save time and money for owners and yourself. CCR Todd Imming is CMO for The Korte Company, one of the ENR’s Top 100 Design-Build firms nationally.

t’s all about options, especially in the highly competitive race for the attention of today’s health-conscious consumer. And when it comes to restaurant options, having the right selection, in the right environment, is critical.

The story behind Crushed Red Urban Bake & Chop, a salad and pizza concept featuring chopped to order salads and pizza, is what happens when opportunity meets ambition.

The concept is the brainchild of veteran restaurateur Chris LaRocca, and the father and son entrepreneur team of Ralph Kalish, Jr., and Powell Kalish.

The trio set out to create a restaurant concept that featured “truly delicious and healthful foods” – options that they could not find from their counterparts.

After assembling a team committed to helping fulfill their vision, Crushed Red was born. Organically dressed salads chopped to order with colorful ingredients.

Pizzas defined by crispy whole-grain crusts and organic tomato sauce. A welcoming, comfortable atmosphere.

And they sidestepped the whole fast-casual concept and labeled their vision “Artisan Fast.”

Commercial Kitchens sat down with Powell Kalish, broker associate for Hilliker Corporation, and co-owner/co-founder of Crushed Red, to see how and where the brand is heading.

Give us a snapshot of Crushed Red Brand?

Crushed Red is a fast-casual restaurant specializing in organically-dressed chopped salads and personal-sized hand-stretched pizzas. The salads are quickly and thoroughly chopped right in front of our guests, and the pizzas cook in our custom-made ovens in just 90 seconds.

The first location opened in Clayton, Mo., in 2012, followed by Kirkwood, Mo., in 2013, and Creve Coeur, Mo., in 2015. Our first Illinois restaurant is scheduled to open this year. The first franchise locations opened in Denver in 2015.

What type of consumer are you targeting?

Crushed Red attracts a variety of demographics – from the business professional who wants a quick lunch, to the soccer mom with kids who each want their own pizza, to the young couple looking for a date night that won’t break the bank. Our customers, who want an elevated fast-casual experience, believe they're getting a much better value than what they would experience with our competition.

88

How does the design of the restaurant cater to today's consumers' taste?

The design is very similar to Subway or Chipotle, where you go down the line and see the food created right before your eyes. Besides the prep kitchen, everything is upfront and open to the customer. They get to see all we have to offer, so their salad selection is a more visual experience.

Walk us through how and why it designed the way it is?

To capitalize on the "value-added" concept, our buildout is typically 20 percent more than our competition in order to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We uniquely offer butcher block tables, leather booths, wood floors and creative Mason jar lighting. We combine this ambiance with linen napkins, real glassware, china and silverware. All of these elements add to this total dining experience.

Walk us through your construction and design strategy.

Our construction team consists of our architect, equipment provider, millwork partners and general contractor. The kitchen and line are designed first to ensure we map out the most necessary and essential equipment.

After that, it is all about creating the restaurant’s flow and to include an ample number of available seats. We are very uniform and have everything – from the paint colors to the door stop on the restroom door – specifically selected for all of our restaurants. Loft-like wood ceiling, a row of booths on a 6-inch riser, and community tables are all staples at Crushed Red.

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

Give us a rundown of your kitchen operation.

Are you optimistic about what you see in the restaurant sector?

The back kitchen is only used for washing and preparing vegetables, as well as dishwashing. All cooking equipment is visible and positioned in the front line. This is intended to give customers a fully interactive experience and the ability to see their food prepared right before their eyes.

What's the biggest issue today related to the construction side of the business?

Besides the ongoing issue of using union for non-union labor, the biggest issue is complying with different municipality’s codes. What might be completely acceptable in one municipality could shut down a construction job located only 30 minutes away. We have learned to be more flexible and to anticipate issues before they happen.

Talk about your sustainability initiative.

We plan to have a total of seven to 10 corporate stores in the greater St. Louis area. Outside of that, we plan to focus on franchising. We currently have a franchise partner in Denver. We also have developments in the works for Michigan, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Nebraska.

Our customers believe they’re getting a much better value than what they would experience with our competition.

Crushed Red is committed to our guests and to our environment. Bringing you fresh, healthy food in a restaurant that produces zero waste is our primary focus, but we also truly care about the well-being of our guests and staff.

We are part of the Green Dining Alliance. We were given this distinction after all locations went through a comprehensive analysis and, according to the Alliance, it was determined that we exceeded “industry norms for sustainable restaurant management and operations." We are proud that our restaurants produce zero waste and are 100 percent sustainable.

This has been very important to us from the beginning, and we feel it's also very important to our guests.

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2016

Absolutely. Today’s consumer is willing to pay a small premium for a quality product and a superb dining experience. We were able to fill a void by elevating the fast-casual concept.

Fast food will always do what they are doing, but what we are seeing is people want the "value-added" experience, but do not want to break the bank by going to your typical full-service restaurant. You will definitely see the fast-casual sector continue to expand.

Why did you pick the locations you did for your restaurants?

Picking the right location can be the hardest part in this business. Because we have very strong lunch and dinner crowds, we need locations that have the daytime business population, but also have the rooftops that will support dinner. We are believers in the clustering affect to create the density necessary to succeed.

What is your growth plan?

What areas are you targeting?

Between corporate and franchise stores, we have five restaurants open right now.

We plan to double that by the end of 2016, with two more corporate locations and three franchise openings. By the end of 2018, we are projecting to have 15 franchise stores, 40 by 2020, and 60 by 2021.

On the corporate side, we are planning seven to 10 locations in the St. Louis area, and could possibly look to other Midwest markets for corporate stores.

What trends are you seeing?

Foods that are creative, healthy, good for the environment, and possess bold flavors with unique menu items. I don’t mean to be repetitive, but today’s consumer is willing to pay a

What is the secret to creating a “must visit” restaurant today?

It is truly about the ‘value-added’ aspect. Crushed Red promotes ongoing communication with the staff, as well as an interactive experience with our customers who can see firsthand their food choices and preparation.

What is today's consumer looking for?

Consumers want to see and taste quality. We make sure to offer an atmosphere with elevated décor to ensure their dining experience is enjoyable.

We also feature healthy and craft choices that consumers are searching for.

What's the biggest item on your to-do list right now?

Growth. But we are extremely diligent about finding the right real estate for new locations and working with the right franchise partners.

Describe a typical day.

I am not the typical restauranteur. In addition to being a co-founder of Crushed Red, I also am a full-time commercial real estate broker for Hilliker Corporation in St. Louis. I have a wide variety of clients, ranging from Fortune 500 national tenants, to fraternal orders selling historic landmarks, to retail tenants like Crushed Red. Hilliker Corporation’s motto is, we are the “entrepreneur’s choice for real estate,” which is a perfect match for me being an entrepreneur myself.

Tell us what makes you so unique?

I have a lot of different passions when it comes to both play and work. I helped create a unique restaurant concept, while maintaining a full-time job in commercial real estate.

That’s pretty amazing. I don’t know many people who are as lucky as I am that have the chance to focus on two totally different businesses. CK

Clearing the

T

he smell of cooking oils, onions and garlic and smoke can stick to you like Velcro. That seemed the overall sentiment of the patrons, especially professionals, who frequented the restaurants that help define Columbus, Ohio’s beloved North Market area.

The stigma of “smelling like the market” was just too great to risk, they claimed.

Oddly, the smells and rich airborne aromas at North Market are an important part of the generously sensual experience that customers – more than a million each year – have come to enjoy. The cultural mix, the wide variety of vendor offerings, the colors, taste and textures commingle with the wafting fragrance of it all.

“That mix of goodness is highly prized here,” says Rick Harrison Wolfe, the market’s executive director. “Though, over the years, our ventilation woes became something we needed to deal with.”

And there’s plentiful “goodness” in the mix at North Market – Best of the Wurst, a mix of fine brats with Bangkok cuisine, The Fish Guys, which offers some of the freshest, line-caught fish in town, and Holy Smoke BBQ, just to name a few of the many food vendors.

CLEARING THE AIR

COMMERCIAL KITCHENS

Without a doubt, the market’s burgeoning indoor air quality (IAQ) problems – a byproduct of the enterprise inside – had to be resolved if the non-profit venue and its 36 vendors were to survive.

Years ago, city managers and market executives knew they had a problem, so, gradually, a plan emerged.

Wolfe, who joined the market’s executive staff in 2013, learned about plans to overhaul the building’s ventilation system on his first day, when his girlfriend demanded he quarantine his work clothes when he got home.

Engineered solution

Of course, the science behind the market’s inadequate ventilation was the purview of trade professionals with a language foreign to the market’s everyday patrons, with terms like “particulate parts per billion,” “IAQ” and “CFMs.” Enter Stuart Schlotterbeck, P.E., and IAQ linguist. Schlotterbeck is a senior mechanical engineer for Columbus-based Dynamix Engineering Ltd, the firm chosen by city managers to engineer a solution to the market’s IAQ problem.

One of the first decisions made by Schlotterbeck was the specification of four, 20-ton Atherion packaged ventilation rooftop systems manufactured by Modine – ultimately chosen to be the crown jewels for the market’s IAQ improvement project.

Next in line were the central exhaust fan and innovative venting and kitchen hoods.

They also were to become integral components to make the whole, an engineered solution built precisely to meet the current and future needs of the expanding market.

Because the market is in an older building, there was a lot of stuff on the ground. It also was attached to the ceiling, which had to be moved to complete the ventilation work.

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2016

“Of key importance was the need to for make-up air,” Schlotterbeck says. Prior to the renovation, air balance tests for the building proved negative – more air was being exhausted from the building than was supplied from outside.

“Net pressurization for the building should be positive,” Schlotterbeck says. “Tests confirmed the need for more make-up air.”

The North Market retrofit project came out for bid about two years before actual work began.

General temperature control

Canal Winchester, Ohio-based General Temperature Control (GTC) – armed with Schlotterbeck’s design – submitted the winning proposal during the re-bid process.

GTC was chosen to replace the ailing rooftop equipment and to overhaul the ducted ventilation system within the building.

GTC was a natural choice for the job, which began in August 2013, and concluded three months later. The firm’s 35plus employees include eight sheet metal pros, 12 pipefitters and six service personnel. The market’s budget for the total project was $1.2 million.

CEO Bob Billings says that as a union shop they simply draw on the local unions (Local 189 of the United Association of Plumbers & Pipefitters, and Local 24 of the International Association of Sheetmetal Workers) for skilled labor support as needed to complete complex projects.

Billings says GTC’s territory includes all of Central Ohio within a 100-mile radius of Columbus. It exclusively focused on industrial and commercial HVAC and mechanical systems service work.

Billings chose Mike House, project manager, to direct the North Market’s ventilation retrofit. House says the North Market project involved extensive coordination and well-defined logistics because of the need for the market and the vendors to remain operational during the entire retrofit project.

“I met with managers of the market and vendors every day during our work there,” House says. “They always needed to know where we’d be so that everyone could remain in operation. We had to coordinate with all of the other trades. Adding to the challenge was the inability to store materials there.

More than meeting code

Because the market is in an older building, there was a lot of stuff on the ground. It also was attached to the ceiling, which had to be moved to complete the ventilation work. The commercial ductwork was a fairly specialized installation.

GTC pros installed hundreds of feet of 14-inch to 36-inch Selkirk ZeroClear kitchen grease duct with a zero clearance to combustible rating and integral chase construction. The high-temp fiber insulated, double wall construction provides a twohour fire resistance rating and eliminates the need for a separately constructed, fire-rated enclosure around the duct.

The grease duct was installed to remain fully exposed and includes dozens of access door clean-outs. “I was initially concerned about the exposed duct,” says Steve Alvarez, project manager for the City of Columbus. “From a walkway on the second floor, the duct can be touched. I was concerned about the possibility of burns.

But when it was apparent that – matched with the kitchen hoods – the ducts met code and could be touched with no risk of burn, I became a proponent for the plan.”

Another advantage to the Selkirk duct was the ability to install it with minimal slope. Typically, a 10-inch fall is required for every 40 feet of vent. House says the Selkirk material required only 1/16-inch per foot.

Also installed by GTC crews were eight 10-foot, and two 8-foot Halton Capture Jet kitchen hoods, designed to efficiently eliminate heat and all emissions within the convected plume from all cooking spaces.

All of the (NFPA) Type 1 hoods, which are

98

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2016

designed to remove heat, smoke, vapors and grease, are served by a single, central fan.

Ritch Lewis, partner with the Cleveland-based manufacturer’s rep firm, Thermal Products, says the hoods are 30 percent more efficient than conventional hoods, reducing the amount of exhaust and required make-up air. Less exhaust is needed to remove the particulate- and moisture-laden plume seeking airborne status from the market’s many ovens, griddles, fryers, broilers and wok ranges.

“When that effluent isn’t removed – which was the case before the new ventilation work was complete – it condenses and falls out of the plume, leaving smelly grease particulates everywhere, on clothing, skin and in hair,” Lewis says. “That’s at the very heart of why this project began in the first place.”

Rich Catan, VP of marketing and sales for Halton, says the keys to efficient

The science behind the market’s inadequate ventilation was the purview of trade professionals with a language foreign to the market’s everyday patrons, with terms like “particulate parts per billion,” “IAQ” and “CFMs.”

DUST BARRIER SYSTEM

operation of the kitchen hoods are the demand-control infrared sensors, an exhaust collar temperature sensor, and an ambient space temp sensor built into each hood – allowing independent modulation of the dampers for each hood. “The IR sensors, especially, detect changes in cooking activity.”

Signals also are sent through the central control system to the new, 5-1/2-foot square, 24,000 CFM PennBarry variable-speed fan.

When combining hood damper control with adjustable fan operation, optimal evacuation and ventilation are achieved.

Another key facet to Schlotterbeck’s design was an integrated fire suppression system. “If the ducting was a manifold-based system, the entire fire suppression system would need to be discharged simultaneously,” Schlotterbeck says. “But with Type 1 hoods, fire suppression [packaged by Halton] is controlled independently at each hood.”

Rooftop-ready solution

COMMERCIAL KITCHENS

Compared to the work done inside the building, the actual installation of the new rooftop equipment was quite simple, House says. “The Modine Atherion ventilation systems are sized ideally to fit into the old Aaon rooftop curbs, so there was very little prep work involved in swapping-out the old systems with the new. We’re well-acquainted with the Atherion equipment.”

The Atherion units specified by Dynamix are designed to meet ASHRAE 189.1 and 62.1 standards for IEER efficiency and indoor air quality. The systems can be equipped to provide high-efficiency gas heating, MERV16 air filtration. The North Market units are equipped with 80 percent efficient, 500 MBH furnaces with hot gas reheat and the capability for 100 percent outside air ventilation for greater energy savings.

Schlotterbeck says the Atherion’s gas burners maintain more than 80 percent burner efficiency and modulate down to 15 percent of the full rating. This allows improved efficiency while maintaining discharge air temperatures during the heating season within a few degrees of setpoint.

“The makeup air units are specifically designed to vary the amount of outside air to the inside space,” Schlotterbeck says.

“A controls signal originating from the exhaust hoods and passed through the building automation system (BAS) to the makeup units ensures that they draw enough outside air while precisely tracking

the amount of air evacuated by the central fan and kitchen hoods to maintain positive pressurization of the building.”

Up on the roof

Through September and October 2013, GTC crews worked evenings to complete most of the interior grease duct and kitchen hood installations. On an overcast day in November 2013, GCT removed all of the old rooftop equipment, with ready replacements.

“We had to cordon-off about one-quarter of the parking lot,” House says. “A small crane arrived to unload the rooftop units, curb adapters and all of our other material. We needed a much larger, 90-ton crane with a 120-foot boom to lift the rooftop equipment onto the roof because of the need to reach so far up, and in, from just one location on the ground.”

During the afternoon, the building closed as the big crane cranked up for its fist task: GTC crews were in place to eliminate the old rooftop systems. As quickly as the old equipment came down, new curb adapters were fitted and preparations were made to line up the new supply and return ducts, gas supply and all wiring.

That evening, with the crane work completed, a GTC crew remained behind to activate two of the new Atherion units and the big fan for morning operation. When the sun rose, and soon vendors began to arrive for the new day, the ventilation system was mostly operational.

GTC crews made quick work of the remaining installation work. CCR

Solid wood beauty T elluride. You hear the name. But what comes to mind?

Originally a mining town, Telluride widely is thought of as an all-season resort. It’s well-known that the Telluride Ski Resort is the region’s main attraction during winter months.

But when summer comes around, Telluride transforms itself into an outdoor recreation hot spot, with thousands of tourists mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, sightseeing, and more. In the summer, there are film festivals, wine festivals and music festivals almost every weekend.

It's a good place to enjoy life, whether you are full-time or part-time resident. And it's good place to invest in a world-class condominium project. More specifically, a two-unit luxury condominium project, slated to be built on the top floor of an existing, classic Telluride building. The structure's top floor never really was developed – until now.

Architectural designs specified the best of the best building materials. And these included 5-inch, 6-inch and 7-inch wide, solid oak ¾-inch planks to be installed in the living room, kitchen, hallway and master bedroom of both units.

Not surprisingly, high-quality Bostik installation materials were insisted upon for this project.

“This was a world-class project, which called for world-class construction products," says James M. Allred, territory sales

manager for Bostik’s Consumer and Construction Division. "Anytime when working with wood, whether it is solid or engineered, a major concern is moisture intrusion coming either from the ground (in this case from the concrete slab) or from the atmosphere."

Allred says that’s why its Greenforce wood flooring adhesive was an obvious choice. The adhesive not only offers the unsurpassed strength of urethane, but it's easy to clean and install, and controls moisture vapor.

Greenforce also has been formulated with Bostik’s exclusive Axios Tri-Linking Technology, which means the wood flooring always will be installed at optimal levels.

AXIOS technology combines the tenacious bond strength of Bostik’s high-performance urethane chemistry with the remarkable ease of use experienced from today’s most advanced European, hybrid polymer systems.

With moisture vapor protection equivalent to that of premium moisture mitigation coatings, it offers the ultimate installation protection and simplicity. When combined with Bostik's No. 39 patent-pending Thickness Control Spacer Technology, its performance is equivalent to that of cork’s sound dampening properties.

"When we first got involved with the Telluride condo project, we looked at the product’s specs, which we saw as being ‘bomb-proof," he Nonay says.

he Virginia Department of Forensic Science (DFS) is a nationally accredited forensic laboratory system that provides forensic services to more than 400 law enforcement agencies in the state. The department has nearly 300 employees in four buildings located in Richmond, Norfolk, Roanoke and Manassas — space totaling more than 500,000 square feet.

Aging heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems not performing up to expectations were costing time and money, and the department faced many challenges, including multiple repairs, increasing maintenance calls and issues of occupant comfort.

DFS wanted to make upgrades to address these challenges in its four buildings.

They also wanted to implement solutions to minimize energy demand and consumption in keeping with Executive Order 31 signed

by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, which directs state agencies to reduce electricity consumption by 15 percent in state buildings by 2017.

But like many public agencies with ever-tightening budgets, DFS did not have the funds necessary to address increasing energy costs and aging mechanical systems.

The department found a solution through performance contracting, a funding model that allowed DFS to implement

building improvements expected to reduce energy consumption by about 40 percent and save more than $1 million in taxpayer dollars annually.

Taking steps to improve

Upgrades were needed in the department’s four buildings to minimize energy demand and consumption, to update heating plants at the Roanoke, Richmond and Norfolk facilities, and to ensure building exhaust redundancy in the Richmond facility, among other items.

Several Virginia governors have supported performance contracting as a way for state agencies to reduce energy consumption without the need to invest significant capital dollars. With performance contracting, agencies receive funding to upgrade building infrastructure and achieve the measurable results they’re looking for — and use existing operational dollars to finance the improvements.

incorporate current efficiency and sustainability technologies without sacrificing performance, and without expanding our operational budget.”

Trane engineers conducted a high-level energy analysis of one DFS building to show the possibility for savings.

Based on those results, the department was convinced of the opportunity and put out a request for proposals (RFP) for the project. After Trane was selected in the RFP process, engineers conducted an in-depth energy audit of all four DFS buildings.

“ We hoped that this project would allow us to incorporate current efficiency and sustainability technologies without sacrificing performance.”

– Linda Jackson, Agency Director, Virginia Department of Forensic Science

For example, if improvements are projected to save 30 percent on a utility bill, the agency receives a loan for the upgrades and uses the savings to pay it back over time. The operational budget of the agency does not increase, but rather a portion is redirected. So, in addition to being stewards of the environment, it allows public bodies to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars.

Virginia DFS reached out to Trane, a leading global provider of indoor comfort solutions and services and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, to determine if the performance contracting option made sense to meet the department’s needs.

“Laboratories struggle with maintaining energy efficiency without a loss in operational effectiveness," says agency director Linda Jackson. "We hoped that this project would allow us to

Based on that detailed information, energy engineers developed a list of possible solutions, along with the associated energy savings and costs to determine the payback and timeline to complete the work. Working through those energy conservation measures (ECMs) together, Trane and DFS determined the priorities for the project.

“In evaluating potential partners for this project, we looked for a company that envisioned a team approach," says Henry Caprio, facility manager for the department. "Trane’s project team members had just that approach, understanding the need to work with agency staff so that the project could progress with as little disruption to agency operations as possible.”

assistance and approval from the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy. This funding scheme allowed DFS to use future energy and operational savings to finance the infrastructure improvements upfront.

Solutions improve efficiency and performance

A wide range of solutions were chosen to help DFS reach its efficiency, sustainability and occupant comfort goals in several phases of the project. Upgrades to the buildings included: • Airflow rebalancing to ensure that the laboratories were not over-ventilated and wasting energy to heat and cool the excess air. A safety consultant helped determine that ventilation rates could be safely reduced in the labs without affecting indoor air quality or occupant health and safety.

• Fume hood retrofits for the installation of high-performance, constant-volume hoods in the labs. The previous hoods required more airflow to operate effectively, while the new hoods operate more efficiently.

• Optimization of existing controls systems in each building. These changes to how the heating and cooling systems operated help improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption when the buildings are empty.

• New heating plants in the labs in Richmond and

112

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2016

Norfolk facilities, along with a new summertime boiler in the Roanoke lab, to improve heating plant efficiency and performance and reset the life cycle.

• Installation of a new Trane water-cooled chiller at the Richmond laboratory. The facility previously required two 650-ton chillers running at near maximum capacity on hot summer days. With the project upgrades, the building cooling load was reduced from 1,300 tons to 900 tons, allowing for installation of a new 270-ton Trane centrifugal chiller with adjustable frequency drive (AFD) to handle the cooling load during milder parts of the year when the existing machines would be too large to operate without excessive cycling. An AFD also was installed on one of the existing chillers to allow it to run at lower loads more effectively and improve overall efficiency.

• Installation of two new Trane chillers at the Norfolk facility to reflect the significantly reduced cooling load in the building. The smaller chillers effectively meet the new cooling requirements and incorporate variable speed pumping into the plant.

• Reverse osmosis water purification upgrades at the Richmond and Norfolk facilities. The new systems provide greater efficiency and require less electricity and water to provide the same amount of purified water.

To help make sure that updated systems continue to run at optimal efficiency, DFS also incorporated Trane Intelligent Services offerings that paired expertise from a Trane services team with ongoing data monitoring. This process monitors and analyzes data from approximately 100 sub-meters across the DFS asset portfolio, so the facilities team can be informed when systems need attention.

Significant savings result

Leveraging the performance contract model allowed DFS to address energy and sustainability issues and upgrade building systems and equipment — all without taking on financial risk or stretching the existing budget.

Once the first phase of the project was complete, measurement after the first year of operation verified that the changes saved DFS $1 million on its energy spend — or 36 percent of the utility budget. That savings was even greater than the $800,000 in annual energy savings that Trane guaranteed as a result of the energy audit.

Results were so successful that DFS implemented a second phase of the project and is now considering a third phase of improvements. In total, the department expects to reduce energy

consumption by more than 40 percent and save more than $1 million annually.

“We are extremely proud of the fact that our energy performance contracts have allowed for good stewardship of taxpayer dollars and significant energy savings,” Jackson says.

In addition to the reduced energy consumption and resulting savings, the solutions also helped improve the safety and comfort of DFS employees.

FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION • REINFORCEMENTS

According to the latest American Society of Civil Engineers report card, America’s cumulative grade for infrastructure is a D-plus.

The condition of bridges in the country, although slightly better, is only a meager C-plus, according to the same report.

In 10 years, one in four of our nation’s bridges will be 65 years or older. In addition, almost 70,000 bridges in the country are considered “structurally deficient,” according to statistics from the Federal Highway Administration. That equates to about one in every nine bridges in the nation.

But despite the concerns, there is a glimpse of resolve. New emerging technology can help the United States manage its growing infrastructure problem. Advances in bridge design, engineering and construction, smart bridges, and intelligent self monitoring systems could significantly supplement broader national policies to address the issues. These technological innovations may be eligible for federal and state Research and Development Tax Credits, which are available to help stimulate these efforts.

The Research & Development Tax Credit

Enacted in 1981, the federal Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit allows a credit of up to 13 percent of eligible spending for new and improved products and processes. Qualified research must meet the following four criteria: • New or improved products, processes or software • Technological in nature • Elimination of uncertainty • Process of experimentation Eligible costs include employee wages, cost of supplies, cost of testing, contract research expenses and costs associated with developing a patent. This past December, President Obama signed the bill making the R&D Tax Credit permanent.

Beginning this year, the R&D credit can be used to offset Alternative Minimum tax and startup businesses can utilize the credit against payroll taxes

Bridge design & construction

Modern bridge design and construction involves a wide range of innovative technologies. From design stage, construction and final testing after construction, innovation is occurring all throughout.

Environmental instability, increasing traffic volumes, and evolving contemporary architecture has increased the need for innovation in the structural engineering of bridges.

For example, on the Tappan Zee Bridge in New York, bridge traffic has reached over 138,000 vehicles per day, far more than the Tappan Zee was designed to support when opened in 1955. As a result, hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to maintain the structure in recent years. The cost of maintaining the current bridge for the foreseeable future rivals the cost of a new bridge with no improvements under current traffic conditions.

Recognizing this, Governor Cuomo has scheduled the new bridge for completion in 2018. Already, more than 1,000 steel support pilings have been driven into the riverbed, pile caps have been installed, and work has begun on the iconic 419 foot main span towers.

FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION • REINFORCEMENTS

In 10 years, one in four of our nation’s bridges will be 65 years or older.

These types of projects are excellent candidates for the R&D Tax Credit. At the design stage, architects and engineers use high-tech analytical software to define complex bridge geometrics, boundary limitations, and load conditions. During construction, superstructure designs often evolve based on actual conditions that fluctuate from what was predicted with CAD modeling software.

After construction, analysis must be performed on a range of different parameters such as loading and soil conditions, pile behavior, suspension effects, creep and shrinkage analysis, etc.

Smart bridges

Modern technology is making bridges around the country increasing intelligent and self-aware. These bridges have the ability to collect data about their dynamics, conditions and traffic flow. Small sensors scattered throughout bridges continuously measure physical conditions such as erosion, vibration, and strain.

This produces a stream of data that can be analyzed by intelligent software programs to provide detailed monitoring and alert engineers when maintenance is needed. In addition, automatic incident detection (AID) and innovative video technologies also

are integrated across bridges, in order to achieve an optimized traffic flow.

Tolling technologies

Tolling technologies are also evolving.

Payments, collections, traffic management, customer service, and enforcement all involve constantly developing technologies.

The goal of most of these new integrations is to relieve congestion at the toll booths without the addition of new highways, lanes, and pavement projects.

E-ZPass, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, was an exceptional breakthrough technology when it first entered the market in the early 1990s. Since then, new vehicle identification technologies have continued to evolve and improve.

Some ideas on the horizon involve incorporating the use of social media to deliver tolling messages, charging per mile, and the integration of vehicle infrastructure and smart toll lanes that would have the ability to open and close based on traffic patterns.

New and improved technologies can help the United States manage its growing infrastructure problems. Federal and state R&D Tax Credits are available to help support and stimulate modern bridge design, construction, and maintenance innovation efforts. FC

The lowdown on LED

Everything you want to know – and more

retrofits T

By Jody Cloud

he term “lighting retrofit” can be a little overwhelming. What does it mean?

What is involved? How much will it cost?

A capital improvement that can increase the market value of your property, a lighting retrofit converts older, outdated lighting technology (for example, fluorescent and HID lamps) to newer, more energy-efficient technology (such as LEDs).

Here’s everything you want – and need – to know about the LED retrofit process:

THE LOWDOWN ON LED RETROFITS

Why invest?

As recently as five years ago, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said that linear fluorescent lamps accounted for more than three-quarters of commercial building lighting service. Imagine how much energy (and money) could be saved if those fluorescent lamps were converted to LEDs, which can offer between 50 percent and 90 percent energy savings.

The DOE says that national energy costs could be decreased by 25 percent if LED technology reaches projected market penetration levels in the next 15 years.

Here’s what you can expect to happen in your commercial or institutional building when LEDs are installed vs. fluorescents or HIDs:

124

A common misconception is that an LED lighting retrofit automatically means that fixtures must be replaced.

• Lamp life (up) • Operating costs (down) • Energy costs (down) • Replacement time and costs (down) • Heat emittance from lamps (down) • Facility cooling loads (down) • Risk of shock during replacement (down)

Does my building need a lighting retrofit?

So, how do you know if you need a lighting retrofit? It’s a valid question.

Not every commercial and institutional building requires a lighting retrofit, depending on its age, the current systems in place, and future energy or sustainability goals.

THE LOWDOWN ON LED RETROFITS

To determine whether your building would benefit from a lighting retrofit, ask yourself these questions: • Do I want to reduce my building’s lighting energy costs?

• How old is my building’s lighting technology?

• Is any of my building’s lighting about to be phased out due to code changes?

• Am I spending more than I’d like on lamp maintenance and replacement costs?

• Are there certain parts of my building that are difficult to service?

• Are my lights in use for more than 12 hours per day?

• Does my lighting system support our organization’s sustainability initiatives?

Types of lighting retrofits

A common misconception is that an LED lighting retrofit automatically means that fixtures must be replaced.

Lighting retrofits can be completed in three different, but simple ways, depending on your existing lamps and lighting system. The choice is yours.

Now how do you decide?

No. 1 – D irect Lamp Change-Outs

The DOE says that national energy costs could be decreased by 25 percent if LED technology reaches projected market penetration levels in the next 15 years.

LEDs don’t require separate ballasts like fluorescent fixtures. Instead, they make use of internal drivers. Some lighting fixtures can be retrofitted simply by changing out the bulbs (for example, swapping fluorescent tubes with LED tubes and removing the ballast and fluorescent lamp holders).

Normally, the lowest-cost option in terms of labor and materials for both indoor and outdoor applications, direct lamp change-outs allow LEDs to go straight into traditional fluorescent tube troffers or HID fixtures.

126

Many replacement applications now offer a plug-and-play option that installs directly into existing fixtures.

With no need to remove the ballast fluorescent tube fixture – whether it’s a quick-start, instant-start, programmed-start or emergency fixture – simply replace the existing fluorescent tube with the right LED tube and you’ll see the energy savings start rolling in right away.

No. 2 – Retrofit Kits

Another upgrade option is an LED retrofit kit, complete with LEDs and driver, which mounts directly into the existing luminaire housing. These retrofit kits allow you to keep your original fixtures and convert them to energy-saving LED fixtures.

For example, retrofit kits can convert recessed fluorescent lighting fixtures (troffers) by reusing the top portion of the existing fixture.

Depending on your existing lighting system, labor costs for retrofit kits may be higher if electricians have to perform additional wiring modifications or follow special component-removal processes.

No. 3 – Replace Entire Fixtures

Replacing the entire existing lighting fixture with a new LED fixture is another option, and also the most costly. Lighting system replacement may be your best option if the condition of sockets isn’t good (obvious wear or major cracks) or poor lens/louver condition is apparent.

Another factor to consider: If current lighting fixtures are completely enclosed, fixture replacement may be the best option for your building. LEDs shouldn’t be used in tightly enclosed fixtures unless they are approved for use in enclosed spaces. When heat can’t dissipate from the lamp’s heat sink, premature lamp failure may result.

If above-the-ceiling access is restricted or not recommended in your facility, entire fixture replacement may not be an option.

Calculating ROI

Anything you can do to control energy costs gives your organization a competitive advantage. LEDs impact energy usage in several ways. There are many factors to consider when calculating the full return on your LED lighting retrofit investment: • T he reduction in lighting energy usage – the typical LED lamp saves between 50 percent and 90 percent as compared to other lighting options.

• The impact of LEDs on the HVAC system – they don’t give off as much heat as fluorescents, so cooling loads may be reduced.

• The reduced frequency of lamp replacement – including labor costs (necessary lighting maintenance can be reduced to nearly zero for the next several years).

• R ebates offered by local utilities – ENERGYSTAR.GOV can tell you what types of offers are available in your area.

• Incentives at the state and local government levels – ENERGY. GOV lists tax credits, rebates, and savings available by state.

• The increase in efficiency – LEDs emit light downward vs. the 360-degree light pattern emitted by fluorescent bulbs, which illuminates more than the intended target.

When you select the right lighting retrofit option for your facility, your LED system already is well on its way to providing several years of savings and quality performance. This makes it extremely worthwhile to say “yes” to LED lighting.

LEGAL EASE

LEGAL EASE

Managing a defective building Four things every construction executive should know

By Deborah Cazan & Breana Ware

M

any buildings, at one point or another, experience leaks or the effects of other design and construction errors. While no two defect claims are identi-

cal, parties can make strategic decisions to limit the likelihood of a successful claim against them, and can use those same considerations to successfully assert claims against those par-

ties responsible for building defects.

130

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION — MAY : JUNE 2016

Follow are four things you should know about managing a defective building:

No. 1 – Timing is everything

One of the first steps a party should take if it discovers or receives notice of a defect is to determine whether, from a timing perspective, the law still allows claims to be made against responsible parties. Every state has laws that limit the time parties have to make claims to enforce their rights or seek recovery after they have been damaged (known as a “statute of limitations”).

CIRCLE NO. 57

LEGAL EASE

LEGAL EASE If you are running up against that deadline, parties can enter into agreements that postpone or “toll” that deadline. If that deadline has already passed, and you are the damaged party, you may be left holding the bag.

No. 2 – Provide notice to potentially responsible parties To optimize recovery against responsible parties, it's important to provide timely written notice of the potential defects in accordance with the terms of any operative agreements.

For example, many construction contracts impose a duty upon a property owner to report, in writing, any defect they discover. Many contracts also include a requirement that notice be made “immediately” or “within a reasonable amount of time.” A party’s failure to notify an owner, architect or contractor about a discovered defect within the required time can be fatal to their claim, or at the very least, provide the other side with effective defenses to the claims against them.

The content of a party’s written notice of a defect also is important. Notices should be carefully worded, since the information

So, owners often will engage consultants to help them determine who the responsible party is. This determination often is made through forensic testing. Because this testing can be costly and time consuming, parties should plan this process with an eye toward litigation to protect their interests in case the responsible parties are unable or unwilling to repair the defect.

For example, consider whether the testing firm you engage has litigation experience. The best firms will have a good understanding the substantive issues, the litigation process and the potentially confidential nature of their communications.

It also is imperative at this stage that the damaged party offer and allow all potentially responsible parties the opportunity to view the damages and test the existing conditions before they are disturbed. If the damaged party fails to do this, it likely will face a “spoliation” claim by the defending party. Spoliation basically is a violation of a duty to preserve relevant evidence, and a failure to preserve relevant evidence can result in the court issuing sanctions against you.

For example, a court could decide that, since you destroyed relevant evidence, you are not permitted to introduce your own expert’s testimony. Spoliation claims are a costly distraction from the relevant issues in a case, and most spoliation claims can be easily avoided.

Even if you think you’re working amicably with all potentially responsible parties toward a resolution, you always must consider the “what if” of ending up in litigation. conveyed in them can impact your claim down the road. For example, if you issue a notice of a defect to the contractor and architect for the same defective condition, both parties will attempt to use and rely upon the notice to the other party as evidence that they're not responsible for the defective condition.

Also, if you provide a notice that sets forth the date a defect was first discovered, the other side could use and rely upon that notice to argue that you failed to make your claim within the required time limits. Understanding the requirements and potential pitfalls of notice requirements are the first step to successfully making or defending against a construction defect claim.

No. 3 – Testing and investigation of the defect

Another step in the process of addressing a defective building condition is to determine the cause of the defect and the best course for repairs. Very often, this is easier said than done. Contractors and designers almost will always point fingers at one another.

No. 4 – Common claims

The most common claims in construction defect cases are for breach of contract, breach of express and implied warranties, and negligence, which can mean either negligent construction or negligent design. Claimants make a number of strategic considerations when deciding when to make a claim, and against whom. These decisions are guided not only by actual responsibility for any damage or defect, but also by which parties are solvent, and whether insurance is available.

Claimants also consider whether they have a greater likelihood for success if they align with one party over another. For example, owners may be hesitant to file claims against architects if they need the architect to assist them in preparing their case against the contractor, who they may consider more responsible for the defects and resulting damages.

While no two defect claims are identical, every defect claim requires careful planning. Even if you think you're working amicably with all potentially responsible parties toward a resolution, you always must consider the “what if” of ending up in litigation. Employing some of the strategies discussed here can help maximize recovery and minimize liability. CCR

‘Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’

I

have played sports and outdoor activities as soon as I could walk. Today, thanks to my sports experiences, I am a volunteer lacrosse coach at my son’s High School.

I know that no matter how bleak things are, if you stay the course, you’ll “get-r-done” – hopefully, sooner rather than later.

Coaching different age groups has been a learning experience.

Trying to teach young players who have little or no skills, patience is crucial. And then dealing with high schoolers who feel they are the sport's next top college recruit is like herding cats. Everybody thinks they know everything.

Some of my teams have been very talented, while others have needed work. Staying positive has always been a serious challenge, to say the least.

Such was the case with my 2016 Spring high school lax team. With goals at a minimum, we had a losing season. In fact, we didn't score our first goal until the fifth game. As the youngest and smallest team in the league, every game looked like boys versus men.

But I kept telling my players, "to be the best, you have to play the best." It was frustrating

to try to keep everybody's head up each week, parents included.

But through hard work, persistence and practice, little by little, we improved each week. Finally, we had a breakthrough, and started scoring some goals. And then we won our first game. Winning that game was like winning the Super Bowl, as I personally have never been on a winless team.

I kept telling my players that you will play as you practice, so you must master the basics if you're going to win. If you don't, it would be a very long season.

Just as it says on my prep school weight room wall, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." That's what happened as we went on a winning streak at the end of the season, building momentum into the end of season tourney.

With so many losses in the beginning of the year, we could have packed it in and quit.

But once a quitter, always a quitter. We persevered, improved and, ultimately, succeeded.

Truthfully, it was one of the hardest coaching assignments I had ever undertaken. I know that no matter how bleak things are, if you stay the course, you'll "get-r-done" – hopefully, sooner rather than later. That goes for sports, business and our daily lives.

We always would say this prayer by the great Spanish knight Ignatius Loyola before each game: "Teach us Good Lord, to give and not count the cost; to fight and not heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and not ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do thy will."

1-2-3, Go Mad Dogs!

To all, we wish you much success in the second half of 2016. Enjoy the Summer ahead and stay cool. CCR
