Proposals to reduce some design values for Southern pine could affect demand next year for more than 1 billion board feet of visually graded lumber--at least one-eighth of the Southern pine dimensional lumber milled in 2011--as well as trigger longer-term changes in the price and popularity of machine-rated Southern pine, engineered lumber, and other types of softwood lumber, Forest Economic Advisors (FEA) predicted today.

The Westford, Mass.-based consultancy’s new 20-page report on the issue represents what it describes as the first major attempt to quantify the potential impact of the proposed changes on such major housing components as roof trusses and rafters, floor joists and trusses, and various beams and headers. All those will be affected to varying degrees, and the likely alternatives to be used in place of visually graded Southern pine also will vary, FEA said.

When these shifts would occur depends on when the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC), a quasi-governmental agency that oversees lumber standard-setting groups, will take action on a proposal by the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau (SPIB) to reduce three key design values attributed to the wood by 22% to 39%. Truss and joist companies as well as framers and general contractors rely on these design values--which deal with issues such as bending, tension, and compression--to make certain they are building certifiably safe structures.

Trade groups for lumberyards and building component manufacturers sounded the alarm in Continued on page 4

mid-October when they thought ALSC could decide at its Oct. 20 meeting to adopt SPIB’s proposal. But after hearing of those protests, ALSC decided to hold a second hearing on the issue on Jan. 5. It could act as soon as then to OK the changes, and once it does the new values would go into effect immediately. This scares lumberyard and distribution association executives because they fear such a move would automatically depress the value of the Southern pine they have on hand, while building component makers worry about potential lawsuits involving homes that were just 2004 Monet DeSauw "Desawyer built (or are currently being built) to the old standards.

“A change of this magnitude will have a marked effect on the supply, demand, and prices for Southern pine dimensional lumber, as well as on the value of standing Southern pine timber,” it declared. “It also will have a ripple effect on the supply, demand, and prices of structural grades of MSR [machine stress-rated lumber], engineered lumber, and potentially on other North American softwood species.”

But if SPIB’s proposal becomes the rule, its design values will trace all the others--at least until the rating groups for those other species fulfill ALSC’s request that they test their own products and see

Just as the problem varies, so does the solution. FEA believes most makers of roof trusses will substitute visually graded Southern pine, which is affected by the changes, with machine-rated pine, which is exempt. For floor joists, some contractors will shift to engineered I-joists while others will find it more economical to use MSR pine. Builders of roof rafters might simply choose to put in more of what they already use, or perhaps switch species if it’s available and affordable. And contractors who have long spans to cross might switch to laminated or glulam lumber.

FEA also addressed fears that there isn’t enough machine-rated lumber to meet the potential increase in demand. Less than 1% of Southern pine produced today is machine-rated, FEA noted. “However, if the proposed values go into effect, not only will MSR be a good manufacturer bet, but both prices and demand for MSR in the South are likely to rise,” it said. “We estimate that the incremental demand for MSR in the South will be over 400 million board feet in 2012, pushing the total (incremental demand + existing demand) annual Southern pine MSR demand to 550 million board feet for the year.” And based on potential capacity at the 22 Southern mills with MSR machines, FEA estimated that those mills could churn out roughly 650 million board feet per year.

Thinking longer-term, however, FEA said that there could be a squeeze in demand for machine-rated Southern pine because of expected reductions in supplies of other species. These include the effects of the beetle kill across huge swaths of British Columbia and possible reductions in allowable cutting of black spruce in Quebec. “The confluence of these events could cause a supply crunch for MSR lumber,” FEA said, “and we could see sustained $100+ per million-board-feet premiums toward the middle part of the decade.”

How those reduced values will affect Southern pine depends on the products it’s used in, FEA noted. For instance, it estimates the changes won’t affect 35% of the board feet used in making roof trusses because that wood is used in web members, which typically don’t need to have hiigh tension and compression values. Likewise, roughly two-thirds of the Southern pine used in rafters wouldn’t be affected, but potentially 100% of the wood in floor joists would.

How To Become a Truss Designer 2002 MiTek Easy Set Saw

Christina Huerta - Friday, November 18, 2011

Although I have spent 13 years around the construction block, I am fairly new to the truss design side of construction. Therefore, I took a stroll around my office and enlisted our “Best of the Best” in truss design to answer a simple question,

“How does a person become a truss designer?”

To answer this question, Keymark’s truss designers identified three basic areas: •

General knowledge of the construction field

•

Truss classes

•

Truss Technician Certification

Our journey to become a truss designer begins with having a passion or desire to work in and learn about the construction industry. I would venture to guess that most truss designers today grew into their position by initially working in the field on construction sites and then learning truss design as a trade. Engaging in the construction field hands-on and via training manuals would offer a person a good knowledge of the construction field in general.

Truss classes are offered online and in-person from resources such as the Wood Truss Council of America (WTCA) which is now referred to as the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA). Under the SBCA, there is a Wood Truss Council that offers educational programs and training resources for trusses. Although online learning is convenient and easily accessible, you may find the classes challenging if you do not already have a good grasp of the construction field and initial experience with trusses.

Truss technician certification is offered online via the SBCA website.

There are eligibility requirements to take the truss technician exam, including having taken certain truss courses and submitting a request for exam proctoring. There are several advantages for obtaining truss technician certification, including being able to quantify and sell your expertise as a certified truss designer. continued on page 9

In addition to these three basic areas, there are some additional skills that will help you become a truss designer: •

Strong understanding of geometry and mathematics in general

•

Ability to visualize drawings in 3D

•

Experience with computers and knowledge of Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Also, truss designers often engage with architects and engineers on projects, therefore having an understanding of how each role on a construction project works together would help tremendously to ensure a smooth design and build, and to help you as BIM is integrated into residential design.

Weekly updates on the solid wood market in Canada and the US provided by Keta Kosman, publisher and editor of Madison’s Lumber Reporter. Madison’s is a North American lumber and panel commodity price guide and market analysis newsletter, which has been published every Friday out of Vancouver, BC since 1952. For more information please visit http://www.madisonsreport.com

The business of lumber got a massive shot in the arm the two weeks before US Thanksgiving when cash prices jumped significantly and lumber futures January contract opened up-limit on the previous contract close November 15.

Even more remarkable, the increase in lumber demand was entirely out of the US. This most unseasonal occurrence was entirely the result of extremely low lumber inventories throughout the supply chain. A spurt of buying in advance of the long weekend brought inquiries strictly to the lumber producers, since no other sources of wood were available. Reloads, stocking wholesalers, and even retailers, have kept inventories on hand very lean in anticipation of the usual year-end slowdown.

When all orders for lumber come to the sawmills, mill order files quickly stretch out. In this case, last week sawmills across North America were booked to the week of December 3 or December 16 depending on the region and the commodity. Naturally, if sawmills know they are running wood for three weeks or more they raise prices. With nowhere else to go for wood, customers were in no position to suggest counter-offers.

WSPF KD 2x4 #2&Btr prices rose by US$22, or 9.2 per cent, to end that week at US$240mfbm. Last week prices remained flat at US$238.

Investors would be well advised to watch the lumber market closely in the next two weeks. At the moment the mood is quite gloomy given sales, production, and export figures released so far in the second half of 2011. Third quarter financial results, now released for all North American solid wood producers, were down compared to second quarter, although often up compared to third quarter 2010.

Madison’s Lumber Reporter can confidently say right now that fourth quarter 2011 results will be an improvement over third quarter for publicly traded lumber companies. Given that this recent rise in lumber prices will be sustained over the next few weeks, and production volumes will be on the increase as the existing order file is digested, it is safe to say that both sales and earnings will be up in fourth quarter.

Design Values Forum Educates, Collects Input

Released 11/18/2011

A group of 54 participants gathered in Atlanta this week with a singular objective: to provide an opportunity for Southern Pine lumber producers, key customer groups and others to develop solutions to proposed design values for visually graded Southern Pine dimension lumber. SFPA, in cooperation with the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA) and others hosted the Southern Pine Design Value Forum. “This is an historic meeting to address a single challenge,” said Joe Patton of Westervelt Lumber and SFPA’s immediate past chairman in his opening remarks. “SFPA is facilitating this industry meeting to help find a favorable course of action for Southern Pine producers and users,” he added.

The first session was devoted to education – learning more about the various data sets, the science behind the data, options to consider, the approval and implementation process, impacts on users, plus a summary of Southern Pine producer capabilities. “Educating Southern Pine users was one of our primary objectives,” said moderator Cathy Kaake, SFPA’s senior director of engineered and framing markets. “All concerns were considered,” she added.

Next, three mixed groups of lumber producers, component manufacturers, builders and technical experts broke out into smaller discussions, reporting their recommendations for moving forward to the entire group in a concluding session. The result was formation of three task groups. One group will summarize the forum findings, expressing concerns and recommendations in a unified statement to both the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau (SPIB) Board of Governors and the American Lumber Standard Committee (ALSC) Board of Review. A second task group will review underlying statistics to assess whether design value changes may be deferred until after additional testing is completed or whether safety concerns require more immediate action. The third task group will provide guidance about what the implementation process should be for current and future proposed changes to design values.

“This forum was very productive. All stakeholders came together to make recommendations as a group,” said SFPA president Adrian Blocker.

Complete information about SPIB’s proposed design values for visually graded dimension lumber is available online at www. southernpine.com. For questions or comments about this information or the Atlanta forum, contact Cathy at 504/443-4464, ext. 213, or e-mail her at ckaake@sfpa.org.

All information related to SPIB’s proposed design values is pending approval by the American Lumber Standard Committee (ALSC) Board of Review. Prior to the ALSC Board of Review’s next meeting – set for January 5, 2012 in Washington, DC – ALSC is soliciting written comments from all interested parties, to be received at least 10 days prior to the meeting. Direct comments to Tom Searles, ALSC President by fax to 301/540-8004, or by e-mail to alsc@alsc.org.
