Priorities vs. Commitments Anna L. Stamm

Director of Communications and Marketing Component Manufacturing Advertiser.

W

e’ve all been there—hurrying to finish one thing while juggling a dozen other things.

We don’t want to let anyone down, disappoint someone who’s expecting something of us, or fail to meet our own expectations for ourselves. Unfortunately, the more we try to do, the more we risk missing, losing, or failing at something.

When Priorities (Should) Outweigh Commitments As Joe Kannapell so importantly reminds us in The Last Word this month, it’s very easy to ignore bad habits when you become consumed by work. Even so, putting your work commitments over your health can have disastrous effects.

Likewise, there has been some uncertainty about when this issue will be ready for release. Of course, our target is the first of the month, but a couple of health crises of friends and family arose during the final stages of production. Which brings us that other place we’ve all been—figuring out a way to prioritize a person in our lives over a work commitment. But, the truth is—that shouldn’t be such a hard choice. We shouldn’t have to debate giving time to a loved one even though a work commitment may be late.

Knowing the Difference Will the magazine be distributed on August 1st this month? Maybe…maybe not. Will people wonder why it’s late? Maybe…maybe not. Do we need to explain why it’s late? Probably not. Will we know that the timing is justified based on our priorities? Yes, indeed.

Things happen, situations do not go as planned, and our best intentions may not be enough to ensure that we accomplish all of our commitments every time.

Please keep that in mind the next time you are confronted with choosing a true priority over a commitment, regardless of how pressing, urgent, or significant that commitment may seem.

Celebrating 50 Years of Truss Design Innovation Part XIII: The Unfinished Whole House Joe Kannapell - P.E. Senior VP, MiTek USA www.mitek-us.com

B

y purchasing Alpine, ITW/ Truswal strengthened their chances of outflanking MiTek/ TrusJoist in building the whole house. At the time of this acquisition in early 2006, we at MiTek had poured many millions into our efforts and had little to show for it. Now our competitor was bulking up. The economy was scaring us. But before any showdown, both of us had to overcome some serious internal conflicts.

A business partnership is said to be the most contentious form of organization. How accurate that characterization proved to be. Both sides were bringing together former competitors with disparate objectives.

Truswal had heavily hawked Tommy Wood’s whole house potential, while Alpine had mainly focused on their truss expertise. Yet Truswal was the incumbent at its parent company, and their Tommy Wood was a formidable figure. How would his parametric approach, which so far benefitted only a minority of truss plants, mesh with Alpine’s much more prolific truss tools. Soon this dichotomy would be put to a crucial test.

We at MiTek were also at odds with our TrusJoist (T-J) partner. Our 70-member joint development team was holed up in Denver, 900 miles away from both headquarters, and seemingly a long way from producing usable software. Truss and wall design is incredibly detailed, involving hundreds of different individual pieces, while EWP design basically involves a much smaller number of beams, columns, and connections. Each partner had insufficient knowledge and not enough interest in addressing the other’s concerns. And matching our competitor’s superior wall panel functionality wasn’t even on the docket.

Contentious communications and visits finally led to legal disputes. And T-J had many more lawyers than we had.

Getting anything done with stakeholders dispersed across the country is difficult. Getting good software done is nearly impossible. Which party prioritizes the innumerable tasks to be accomplished? Who determines when it’s street-ready? Will too many chefs spoil the stew?

But as housing starts slowed considerably throughout 2006, the pressure to show results increased.

The war chests that funded these exceedingly expensive development efforts were emptying. Time was short.

Finally, a CM, ProBuild, forced our hands in Atlanta. They saw the value of designing the whole house in their heavily stick-framed market, and brought us both to the table. Neither side was ready. Our team worried that a premature showing of OptiFrame would permanently scar or even sink our 6-year $50 Million venture. We also knew that our legacy software, eFrame, was a more stable and proven solution but lacked the whole house pizazz. Our competitor had the pizazz and the huge advantage of being the incumbent supplier at this location. But what could he bring to the table in such a short time after the Truswal–Alpine merger? Then, as we prepared for the ProBuild demo, housing began its 2007 collapse. Not only was this huge customer in the balance, but our reputations and our futures were at risk.

Two Common Mistakes Cost At Least 2-3 Points of Net Profit Every Year

M

ost, if not all, are now caught up in the summer building season to make serious money for their component divisions. However, far too many companies are allowing tens of thousands of dollars to be lost because of commonly accepted Todd Drummond bad practices. Practices such as using non-precise labor estimations (e.g., board foot (BF) labor estimation) and establishing project pricing using the common cost markup method result in companies losing at a minimum 2 to 3 net profit points, yet most companies refuse to see the simple logic behind this issue. We should not allow our egos to blind us from using better practices when we can utilize simple math to challenge our long-held beliefs of what we consider are best practices. This can all be verified by using some basic numbers to quantify what I am premising.

In addition, too many take offense at the idea of using something other than BF, which is ridiculous. Unless a company is using man-minutes properly, as derived from motion and time studies that are updated for existing equipment and practices, the labor estimation versus the actual for individual projects are all over the map. The common response for using BF is that the average over time works out. However, every production supervisor knows that BF is truly a poor estimation when comparing high BF projects with low setup times, such as pole barn trusses, to low BF projects, such as a complex hip roof system with multiple setups.

TDC Suggestion #1 - Here is a simple exercise any company can do to prove the validity of my statements for man-minutes versus other units, such as BF. Track the actual labor for each assembly crew in man-minutes and BF. You can track via handwritten timesheets and then record the data in a spreadsheet for simplicity. Then compare which more accurately represents what you expected the time to be. If you are using anything other than properly derived man-minutes, you will find that individual batches of trusses have wide swings compared to proper man-minutes. The so-called “average� that many have been using all these years was more like a shotgun instead of a rifle when estimating labor. For companies that have limited capacity, have competent competition and want to make more net profits, why is verifying the accuracy of labor estimation such a hard sell for so many? The labor accuracy is needed to fix the flawed pricing that most are using.

Note that proper productivity incentive programs trying to use anything other than man-minutes are seriously flawed and will only produce mediocre benefits at best. See https://todddrummond.com/incentives/.

The fallacy of a cost markup to derive a project’s margin and, therefore, the overall price is costing many companies dearly. Instead, a company should be renting the tables to its customers instead of marking up the cost of the projects.

Many are mistaken if they think a company can make a consistent net profit weekly if it applies a cost markup. A cost markup is undercutting the daily margin earnings when it is processing orders with a high labor time (lots of manminutes) and yet also have a low material cost project (hip roof versus AG trusses).

Everyone should always use cost markup to generate what they think the competition is charging for a price, but your margin’s baseline should be calculated this way: Margin Baseline = $ Rate * Man-Minutes Man-Minutes = Table + Saw + Support (Shop Only) Does not include any office, trucking or admin personnel Sales price = ($ Rate * Man-Minutes) + Material + Labor + Shipping

TDC Suggestions #2 – Compare the actual labor of the shop labor (at least the table of man-minutes) to that of the gross margin to derive a Margin/Man-Minute for past orders.

Then tally the daily gross margin dollars for the day, week, and month. Hopefully, everyone can see what I am driving at for this exercise. If you start paying attention to the margin dollars per man-minute, it will:  Allow low margin/man-minute projects to go to your competition and therefore not tie up your company’s assets on low margin/man-minute orders. o Allow low margin/man-minute orders only for spare capacity.  Make more net profits by focusing on higher margin/man-minute orders!

The combination of properly estimated labor using man-minutes, plus calculating your project based on the same man-minutes instead of a cost markup will make any company more net profit. It happens every time.

Now, is your company doing this already or are long-held beliefs and practices going to prevent your group from at least proving which method is best?

Does the Manufacturing Facility’s Environment Affect Quality? an quality be determined by examining the environment of the facility manufacturing the product? It seems like the two are unrelated, but, after evaluating hundreds of facilities, quality seems to be proportional to the environment of the manufacturing. By this, I’m not saying that brand new plants make better products— that’s not true. The environment I am talking about involves the overall surroundings, settings, and especially the atmosphere of the truss plant. Even more esoteric, the culture of the facility is a great indicator that the plant manufactures quality products.

C

In order to discuss this concept further, we need to clarify two terms that are used almost interchangeably: Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC). While these are definitely related, the terms are not interchangeable. The difference is: QA is the process and QC is the product measurement. When we are talking about QA, we are talking about culture. While the QC procedure helps the company make quality products, it is only part of the story. It is the QA that ensures products are meeting the demands of the industry.

The four steps in a solid QA program are Establishment of Standards, Measurement of Actual Performance, Comparison of Actual Performance, and then ultimately Corrective Action.

Establishment of Standards Most plants in the US rely on the Standards developed and referred to as the ANSI/TPI 1–2014. Quality is discussed in Chapter 3. It provides a process and standard for measuring quality. When quality is discussed with plants that do not follow the TPI standard, they almost always state, “but we are building a quality product.” Even so, with further discussion, it becomes apparent their program lacks standards, measurement, and inspections. Without these elements, a true QA program is not possible.

Measurement of Actual Performance A solid QA program must measure actual performance. This means physical inspections, measurements of critical elements, and documentation of these elements. Without the paperwork, the inspection information cannot be transferred and used to improve the process, and evaluation is not possible.

Comparison of Actual Performance Using the TPI program, multiple inspections are made throughout the work week. A sampling is made of all structural components. An excellent QA program will compile this data to identify trends as well as illustrate and identify areas in need of improvement. This is where the SBCA In-Plant Wood Truss QC program is beneficial. Using this program, or using one internally developed, is vital to improvements in QA. Using this program is a good indicator of culture. Management at all levels needs to be engaged in the process, and its reports make this possible at a reasonable cost.

Corrective Action Corrective action always seems to be part of a company’s response, and it’s the spot owners often point to as proof of their quality program. Even so, this alone will not fix quality issues. Obviously, problems have to be corrected, but the point is that the process needs to change. Genuine improvements in quality will only occur when the facility implements process improvements along with error corrections.

Conclusions A solid quality program will improve product while reducing call backs and liability. It will also improve worker motivation as workers have more ownership and recognition of their work. Fully functioning equipment in a clean environment with leadership engaged and involved will develop a team approach to quality. This will create this culture of quality that is essential to a high level of performance.

The Importance of Our Leadership Actions Ben Hershey 4Ward Consulting Group, LLC

ecently, a Pastor at our church, Morgan MacPherson, shared a teaching from the Book of James talking about how our Actions Speak Louder. Though there was a lot of “meat on the bone” from what he shared, one of the additional thoughts I brought home was how important our actions are as leaders in the building industry.

R

Our industry has a variety of leaders—from those providing raw material, supplies, and services to those who distribute products to our customers, the builders, developers, and general contractors. But one of the important leadership functions that many of us should have is that of a mentor, putting our leadership to work for those who are entering or interested in our industry. A good example of this is the SBCA Emerging Leaders program, which was created to provide opportunities for the next generation of leaders in our industry to meet together, share ideas, and network with other next gen leaders. While the participants share their experiences and gain a deeper knowledge of the industry and SBCA, leaders in our industry also have an important opportunity to provide mentorship to many of these next gen leaders.

I have had the privilege to mentor several individuals over the last few years; as a matter of fact, it is a cornerstone of why I started consulting and part of what each of the 4Ward team members provides to our customers. This year, I have the opportunity to mentor three individuals throughout the industry with one of them a part of the SBCA Emerging Leaders program. Just as important, many of my best friends are also mentoring individuals who are part of this program—Scott Ward, Steve Stroder, and Joe Hikel, among many others.

The Importance of Mentoring I was very fortunate to have two incredible mentors in my development as a leader—my father, Don Hershey, who was one of the originals in our industry, and Andy Schwitter, the CEO of Truswal Systems.

Both men provided me a foundation of knowledge that I was able to build upon, and through their leadership and example I was able to learn about the industry and what my role could be. I have always been incredibly grateful for what both of them did for me, and their leadership example showed that their actions as leaders set the tone for who I am today. Other industries and associations are coming to terms with the importance of mentoring new leaders too, and I am glad SBCA has been at the forefront of this effort.

As a business owner and a leader, what are you doing to leave a lasting example for those who are our future leaders? The future leaders of both of our businesses and our association need our support and encouragement, and that applies whether we’re nearing retirement or planning to spend another few decades in our industry.

It’s never too early or too late to start mentoring.

Here are ten reasons for being a mentor: 1. Mentors provide information and knowledge. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” Many of the emerging leaders are starting out and have no idea what is involved in running a business, including making a business plan, budgeting, handling daily operations, making strategic decisions, or running a marketing campaign. As a mentor, you can provide this wealth of knowledge and shorten that (sometimes painful) learning curve.

2. Mentors have the perspective to see areas needing improvement. Movie maker George Lucas noted, “Mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults than we would like. It’s the only way we grow.” A good mentor will always be brutally honest and tell you exactly how it is rather than downplay any weaknesses they see.

3. Mentors find ways to stimulate personal and professional growth. The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves. A mentor should pose questions to think about and ask the person they are mentoring to come back with answers later.

A good mentor will also set various goals and then let them loose to see if they can accomplish them on their own, all the while watching from a distance to see how these projects help a mentee to develop. A good mentor will also focus on character and values, which nurture personal growth as well as leadership abilities. One of the things I will remember most from Andy Schwitter was how he had a good work-life balance. He was able to be very successful at work while still maintaining that his faith and family came first.

4. Mentors offer encouragement. A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself. They are there no matter what and offer moral support sprinkled heavily with cheerleading.

5. Mentors are disciplinarians who create necessary boundaries that we cannot set for ourselves. A good mentor knows the importance of tough love and how to use it. This tough love will help to solidify work ethic, sharpen focus, and clarify priorities in a way that a mentee could not do on their own.

6. Mentors are sounding boards to bounce ideas off for an unfiltered opinion. An emerging leader will have numerous ideas for all types of business ventures, products, and processes—but a mentor will help you see which ones have potential and why others are better left alone.

7. Mentors are trusted advisers. In the world of business, it can be hard to know who to trust—and that you can trust someone, especially with proprietary information or intellectual property.

8. Mentors can be connectors. Playing a dual role of teacher and connector, a mentor can provide access to those within the industry who are willing to offer their skills and expertise, introduce you to talent that can fuel your business, and help you get closer to your targeted goals.

9. Mentors have the experiences you can learn from (hopefully) to prevent making the same mistakes. Making mistakes is a part of life, but mentors can share their numerous mistakes so that others may be able to avoid some of the devastating effects without having to experience them personally.

10. Mentors are free, which makes them priceless in more ways than one. You may say that you have no time for mentoring another, but helping leaders move to the next level is probably more important than anything you will do.

Indeed, it serves as a basis of the importance of our leadership actions.

There are several opportunities to get involved in industry efforts including SBCA Emerging Leaders—one of the best ways is to attend this year’s BCMC Show in Columbus. You’ll even be able to participate in activities which also raise money for scholarships to allow this next generation to be more involved. I have many more years if not a few more decades left before I will even think about retiring; why not join me in the effort to put our leadership into action through mentoring.

The entire 4Ward Consulting team has helped several hundred operations effectively increase lean efficiency while also mentoring/coaching leaders to empower their employees to lead them to success. As I’ve said, mentoring/coaching is one of the core principles for which we were founded, so if we can be of assistance to you and your team, please give us a call.

More than history, the TURBO Drive is German engineered to allow for maximum performance in a given application. With this base, precision performance is improved with software optimization rather than hardware changes.

This is apparent when the TURBO Drive was optimized for USA component cutting, the same world model saw runs significantly faster, simply by optimizing movements and stroke.

For a demonstration of how software upgrades accomplish this, see the “before & after” video at: https://youtu.be/3V5gmXbjQPU. It illustrates that software can increase throughput rather than redesigning elements of the equipment, your TURBO Drive does not become yesterday’s news because of a model number change.

FOR A DEMONSTRATION OF HOW SOFTWARE UPGRADES ACCOMPLISH THIS, SEE THE “BEFORE & AFTER” VIDEO AT: https://youtu.be/3V5gmXbjQPU

So how much would you pay for software that increases your cutting productivity and keeps your saw current with the latest technology?

How about zero? With the Hundegger TURBO Drive, free software updates for life are included with the saw. As software is optimized and performance is enhanced, you’ll never have to worry about what model you bought.

Spida Acquires Square 1 Design

By Sean Hubbard

he acquisition of Square 1 Design solidifies Spida Machinery’s position at the apex of machinery suppliers for the Building Components industry. Globally positioned to supply machinery around the world, our equipment profile includes options for all component manufacturers—from manual machines to some of the most automated software driven equipment available world-wide.

T

I believe Spida Machinery is now one of the largest and certainly the most diverse machinery suppliers to the international market. By manufacturing our own equipment, we have surpassed options and technologies of the plate manufacturers. Our focus is on the customer and all aspects of the machinery.

Spida Machinery now serves four specific segments: Cutting and Marking Equipment, Roof Truss Equipment, Floor Truss Equipment, and Wall Panel Machinery.

As the acquisition takes full effect, the North American location will begin increasing their stock levels, including stocking upgrade kits for older Spida and MangoTech equipment, stocking new saws for immediate delivery, and plate markers to quickly speed up your production capabilities. We will increase our service capabilities in the northern Canadian market with highly skilled technicians. Furthermore, we will continue to develop and integrate our existing product offerings, while providing a high level of user experience and increased data for your plant metrics. Development will continue with new product offerings available and on display at the Building Components Manufacturers Conference (BCMC) in Columbus this year. We will continue to offer Roller Presses that fit on discontinued lines, such as TeeLok, Robbins, Klaisler, and Alpine Roof Truss Table Systems.

We are all very excited for the acquisition and eager to lead the industry into next decade of the Building Components Industry.

Terminailer

Price: $179,990 Base price FOB: MN Don’t just do it, nail it. It’s a brand new day in wall-panel production, with a whole new way of doing things better.

Terminailer®, a revolutionary, event-driven, nailing machine that completely defies any preconceived notions about sub-component assembly.

Terminailer all but shatters the stereotypical myth that subcomponent equipment is essentially peripheral – unimportant. And it does so by quickly and accurately driving far more framing nails in your wall panel jobs than ever before. Whether in your shop or in the field, one operator sets the pace for production and quality. And that reduces labor costs and other aspects of overhead.

Terminailer is an event-driven, sub-component assembler that will quickly and accurately drive 30% to 70% of the framing nails in any wall panel job. In your shop or in the field, one operator sets the pace for production and quality. The Terminailer functions independent of design software, requires zero set-up time when switching between any configuration, and requires no special operator training.

The Terminailer is easy to move around the shop so it's location can evolve as your shop evolves. With all of the nailing occurring in the closed main chamber, nail injuries and nail location miss-fires are eliminated, making your plant that much safer.

With nearly ten years of development from people that know machinery it is assembled to exacting standards, well supported, and it is easily maintained with shelf-item parts. Terminailer: vetted, tested, and ready to drive maximum productivity for you. Be sure to check out our videos below for a quick review of this revolutionary machine!

If you are looking for the fastest, mist consistent way to measure and cut your product, then the Hain Measuring System (MEA) is your answer. The MEA changes from one length t any length instantly, up to 60’, without changing the operator’s position on the line. It is also highly accurate (+- .010) and quickly moves from one length to the next in seconds. The MEA is designed for quick and easy setup and is simple to use. Even a first time user will be productive with little or no training required. It can adapt to any saw and can be mounted to any surface so that you can integrate the MEA with your existing setup. The MEA is versatile allowing “left” or “right” handed operation and measurement in “feet and inches” or “inches” depending on your preference. The MEA is also available in a “Skid Mounted” version.

Bonus Plan or Performance Plan Is One Strategy Better?

he goal is the same for both a bonus plan and a performance plan—reward an employee for performance. The higher the position, the more defined are the goals.

Not many bonuses that are consistently over $10k are subjective. It can’t be about how well departments out of your control did or how that affects the mood of the boss. It must be very objective and measurable. It must be consistent year over year to build trust. That is why more companies are structuring compensation with an integral performance component, along with a Standards of Performance to measure results and give reliable expectations to employees.

T

In essence, the process works this way. The Standards of Performance (SOP), what the company expects of you to be considered satisfactory performance, is defined at the beginning of the year. This amount is your base and this amount is your performance package. If you do x, y, and z, your job performance is satisfactory, and your compensation is as expected. Not a stretch, or reaching for the sky, only a defined performance for the position that is acceptable.

Employee and manager both need to sign off on the package. Quarterly reviews are needed to keep people focused, followed by a year-end final review that determines if you met your SOP.

Remote Mega-Multifamily Design Manager

If you made it, you get 100% of the performance portion of your package. If you got 90% and had areas needing improvement, then the scale slides down. If you blow it out of the park and meet 120% of your goals consistently (especially volume and error rate), you get 120% of the performance part. My last real job used SOP, back in the late 1980s, so I can attest to them being around for a while and worth the effort. It’s good to know what expectations are up front and what you get if the expectations are met.

It also gives a reality check during the year of you feel your performance isn’t up to speed.

More companies are using SOP or a similar program, and I have several clients who start the process when someone is hired. They have learned that SOP can increase loyalty and team effort as a result. It also lets mid level managers understand what all that hard work and long hours mean to the company and to them. We all know that pay for performance benefits sales and, like with sales commissions, companies must be consistent with performance rewards. Even so, consistency and time to manage a program are why many in our industry avoid this level of commitment. Much easier to pat Johnny on the back and throw him a bone. Just hope he is still there to catch it…

Flame Spread and Code Conformance Guides for Wood Updated

he work the American Wood Council (AWC) carries out makes it easier for code officials, engineers, designers, and builders to ensure that wood products are used in accordance with the most up-to-date consensus-based building codes. Two AWC publications that support the code and design community have been updated to reflect provisions in the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and are now available for free use on the AWC website.

T

Design for Code Acceptance (DCA) 1 – Flame Spread Performance of Wood Products Used for Interior Finish Under the building code, interior finish must meet certain requirements that demonstrate its resistance to fire moving across the surface of the material and amount of smoke produced when burning. DCA 1 provides this information for many wood products, giving the flame spread index for a variety of wood species that are normally used as interior finishes for walls and ceilings. Importantly, all wood species and wood panel products listed in DCA 1 are either Class B or Class C, and all have smoked-developed indices less than the limit found in the IBC. Although a bit technical, DCA 1 has also been updated to reflect 2018 International Building Code (IBC) provisions, which require that interior wall and ceiling finish materials be classified based on fire spread and smoke develop indices from testing under the ATSM E84 or UL723 fire tests, and adds references to new ASTM E2579 and E2404 fire test mounting standards as well as Black Spruce 3-ply cross-laminated timber.

2018 Code Conforming Wood Design (CCWD) Additionally, to provide designers and building officials with a concise summary of how the building code addresses wood product use, the 2018 Code Conforming Wood Design (CCWD) has also been made available for download on the AWC website. The CCWD is a joint publication of AWC and the International Code Council (ICC) that summarizes provisions related to wood products as they appear in the 2018 IBC. It can be difficult for designers to know about all of the code provisions for wood products that are in the IBC. The CCWD consolidates all of the updated provisions in one place, making it easier for designers to build to code with wood products.

Updates to the 2018 CCWD include the addition of new IBC Section 3314, an important provision in eliminating construction site fires by requiring a fire watch during non-working hours when construction exceeds 40’ in height or as required by the fire code official. Other updates to the 2018 CCWD include special provisions for the protection of attics in wood-frame special occupancy stacked buildings and updated references to the 2018 National Design Specification® for Wood Construction (NDS) and 2018 Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM).

Adhering to the most up-to-date building codes is essential for ensuring construction and building safety. Both DCA 1 and CCWD provide key information to designers and the building officials that must approve wood-based projects, helping to ensure that the products of our industry are well understood, can be quickly and easily recognized as code compliant, and thereby get used in accordance with the most up-to-date consensus-based codes.

Offshoring and Outsourcing— Lessons from a Personal Journey

By Andrew Carr, Platinum Global (retired)

H

ow did this Australian component manufacturer become involved in offshoring? It started with a trip to Vietnam in 2004, and it ended much differently than I would have expected!

I had been operating my company in Australia, Truss-Rite, for 16 years, selling prefabricated wall framing and roof trusses. For a point of difference, we also offered a supply and install service. Being a licensed builder, I founded Platinum Homes, specializing in custom designed and built larger homes. It was one of my housing clients who took me on that fateful tour of Vietnam.

Immediately, I saw an opportunity for a light weight and fast construction solution for this large emerging economy. Their existing methods were slow and labor intensive, to name just a few of the challenges they faced which we could address. So, with great enthusiasm over the next year, I secured land, built a factory, applied for and received my business licenses, etc. Although I also had to import the treated lumber I used, I became the only component manufacturing plant in Vietnam using it, and I even developed a low-cost affordable kit home.

Fast forward 3 years and I was out of cash and the business had failed (those 3 years hold a much longer story than I have space here to document). I had burned through over 2 million dollars with nothing to show for it. But, instead of taking every bit of sensible advice and leaving Vietnam, leaving me a failure and possibly going bankrupt, I was determined to prove that I was a fighter who needed to find a new opportunity.

On the Cover!

PHONE: 800-289-5627

My former factory of 30 workers now employed only an office staff of 5, but we still knew the construction business. Using the resources we had, we started doing design work for component manufacturers in Australia. Over the next 18 months, we operated by charging on a per-job basis, sharing the work between our in-house designers. The external hurdle we faced was the negative perception of offshoring— it was not a popular thing for our clients to do. The internal hurdle, however, was equally difficult—it was hard to achieve consistent quality. Yes, our designers were all university graduates, well trained, and very motivated, but the quality would bounce around.

At the beginning, we operated like the traditional offshore/outsource model: a customer submits the project, it goes into a pooled resource design department, and then the work goes through a design, check, and return process. Just like my prior experiences with outsourcing, we offered a trade-off between cost savings and potential quality/delivery issues. But that just wasn’t good enough!

So, with nothing to lose (I had now not taken a salary for 3 years), I decided to work on fixing these classic problems. I created my own rules on how we would work and engage our clients:

 First, each client has allocated staff working only for them.  Second, the client must engage in training too (which could be onsite in Vietnam or in their home office/country).

For outsourcing to really work, the provider needs to be part of the client’s business—to understand the client’s needs and be a part of the client’s journey. At our start, we employed university graduates, gave them 3 months of internal training, which included hands-on training from the software company, and our young staff quickly mastered the software and plans. The problem was: we had many well-trained young software operators not designers. They were missing the 10% “secret sauce” which connects the what and how with the why of the job. This connection was found with engagement.

In our first implementation of having an allocated staff member and client engagement/training, we solved the problem nearly overnight. Then, I took the same model and challenged my team to replicate it with other building-related clients. It was working! Quality and communication were rising, so we kept going. We took on drafting, full housing take-offs, HVAC, electrical, roofing, and many other tasks. Sure, we still had some failures, but we found that, when a client is prepared to engage and is well documented internally, they can expect at least the same amount of productivity and errors as an internal employee.

We had become the equivalent of a remote office, rather than simply an impersonal outsourcing option.

I always say to anyone contemplating outsourcing/offshoring, if you employed someone in your design department today, would you just sit him or her at a desk and not engage/train/share? In my experience, if you do look for an offshore/outsource solution, find a partner, someone or a company you feel you can work with. Treat them as an extension of your business. Have them “fit in” with your existing design department.

Set a very clear expectation, agree on KPIs, and involve them in your group training. They need to see your business as an individual and understand your needs too.

I’m certainly not trying to tell people what to do, and the truth is that there won’t be one perfect solution.

My advice has always been that, if you can find a person to come to work in your office for fair pay and conditions, then employ them! Most of the clients I engaged with just could not get staff locally. Whether it was Australia or New Zealand, Canada or the USA, our clients faced the same challenges of employing local staff for their component manufacturing, builder, and other supply chain businesses.

Now that I have retired from Platinum Global this year, I have left an office containing more than 1000 full-time staff. This personal journey has been challenging but rewarding, and I am amazed at what we’ve built.

A Success Story from Commercial Modular Construction Oncology Center Opens Sooner, Serves More Patients Tom Hardiman – Executive Director Modular Building Institute

he Inspira Oncology Center in Woodbury, Connecticut urgently needed to service cancer patients in the surrounding communities. The decision to develop a new type of facility comprised of modular technologies allowed for a faster construction to more quickly deliver medical treatments to those in need. It was determined early in the design process that the patients and their families’ health and comfort would take precedence. Considering the schedule and the speed at which the center would start providing services, the owners concluded the facility could be designed to reflect a higher level of design and construction quality.

T

The oncology center was comprised of various spaces common to most medical facilities such as offices, reception area, conference rooms, waiting rooms, exam rooms, lounge, and supporting facilities. The center was given an open feeling by using a clerestory and entrance curtain wall to maximize natural lighting. Innovative and attractive facades were implemented around the exterior of the building to advance the buildings aesthetics.

Unique art sculptures were commissioned and located around the facility amongst the beautiful landscaping surrounding the center.

Additionally, this center included a CT SIM Room to allow for quicker patient imaging at the center and a LINAC Room to conduct proton therapy where high energy x-rays or electrons are used to combat tumors and destroy cancer cells. Specialized control rooms adjoining the respective therapy spaces were incorporated in the construction.

Sustainable Modular Management Inc., with support from fabricator Southeast Modular Manufacturing, was able to work with Inspira Health Network Group to design, develop, and finally construct a highly technical, sophisticated, innovative, and welcoming medical center in less than one year!

It teamed academics, engineers, and industry researchers from around the world to subject a structure to what engineers refer to as the “maximum considered event” (MCE), a large, rare earthquake projected to occur, on average, approximately every 2500 years.

The test featured a full-scale, seven-story wood-framed condominium tower. The 40′ by 60′ tower included 23 one- and two-bedroom living units and two ground-level retail shops. It was built on the “E-Defense” (Earth-Defense) shake table in Miki City, Japan.

The tower, which weighed nearly 800,000 lb., was engineered with Simpson Strong-Tie solutions. The first floor was outfitted with steel special moment frames using Yield-Link® technology, and running along the height of the building above the steel frame were 63 Strong-Rod® anchor tiedown system (ATS) continuous rods securing the shearwalls. Throughout the building, our connectors secured the critical components of the seven-story structure.

The building was subjected to five tests — all modeled on the 1994 Northridge earthquake ground motions recorded at Canoga Park.

Phase 1: Seven-story structure Test One: 60% of Northridge ground motion.

Test Two: 140% of Northridge ground motion.

After successful Phase 1 testing, the first-story steel SMFs were braced to remove their participation, effectively creating a six-story wood-only structure.

Phase 2: Six-story structure Test Three: 60% of Northridge ground motion.

Test Four: 140% of Northridge ground motion.

Test Five: Intensity increased to 180% of Northridge ground motion (the MCE intensity). While there is not a direct correlation between MCE-level shaking and earthquake magnitude, shaking at that level could be thought of as the equivalent of perhaps a 7.5 magnitude event.

Colorado State University professor John Van De Lindt developed many of the performance-based building design procedures used on the NEESWood Capstone test. In a National Science Foundation webcast recorded shortly after the historic test, Van De Lindt said, “I think we had a very successful test. Basically, there was a 2,500-year earthquake we subjected the building to and it wound up [ . . . ] performing very, very well. We were expecting moderate damage, but it turned out that we had very, very light damage to the building. So in the end, after going in and inspecting, I think we proved exactly what we set out to prove.”

What Is Performance-Based Building Design?

Steve Pryor, Advanced Research manager at Simpson Strong-Tie, explained that the goal of this project was to “prove performance-based design can work to make wood structures behave reliably in an earthquake to whatever performance state is specified in the design.”

The basic concept of performance-based building design can be traced all the way back to ancient Babylonia.

Hammurabi’s Code states, “a house should not collapse and kill people.”

Of course, the idea has evolved in the 38 centuries since someone chiseled King Hammurabi’s code into black basalt. The clearest definition came in 1982, in a paper by E.J. Gibson titled Working with the Performance Approach in Building. Gibson writes, “first and foremost, the performance approach is [. . . ] the practice of thinking and working in terms of ends rather than means. [ . . . ] It is concerned with what a building or building product is required to do, and not with prescribing how it is to be constructed.”

The NEESWood Capstone test was unique because it focused on wood. Historically, performance-based building design has been used primarily on steel and concrete projects. Van De Lindt explained, “This [design] has been developed for steel and concrete, and this is really the first time that there’s been any major development in this for wood structures. So, what I see is probably major developments over the next six months to two years in the design code. The [wood construction] industry within the US will be pushing to have buildings be five, six, even seven stories throughout the Pacific Northwest and all around the US as a result of this project.”

Pryor said, “It’s one thing to have a computer with high-powered processing project the results of a design, but until the rubber meets the road you don’t really know what’s going to happen. The project proved we can build a seven-story steel- and wood-framed structure, shake it hard, and have very little damage.”

Impact of the NEESWood Capstone Project The NEESWood Capstone Project is still informing design innovation. On July 24, 2019, Simpson Strong-Tie is hosting a symposium in Honolulu called “The NEESWood Capstone Project a Decade Later: What Have We Learned and Where Are We Going?”

The event will bring together some of the key players from the NEESWood Capstone Project to discuss how the project has informed seismic design of wood buildings and explore the future of wood construction.

Pryor is lead organizer of the event. He said “The old idea is that just avoiding collapse is good enough. We can do better than that. I would like for people to come away knowing there are better ways to design that go beyond building to the code minimum. We can implement design and construction that reduce damage, save lives, and increase resiliency.”

Leveraging Green Building to Incentivize Housing Affordability Posted June 27, 2019 on NAHB Now | The News Blog of the National Association of Home Builders.

Reprinted with permission.

The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is an important resource that incentivizes the creation of affordable rental housing. It provides state and local agencies the equivalent of nearly $8 billion in annual budget authority to issue tax credits for housing projects targeted to lower-income households.

Each state approves a Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) to establish the criteria agencies use to award LIHTCs. Some states require or include bonus points in their QAPs for third-party green certification of the LIHTC properties.

NAHB recently showcased a map highlighting current green program inclusions in each state’s QAP at the NCSHA Housing Credit Connect Conference in San Francisco to provide a genesis for conversations with housing credit professionals. Attendees learned how using green building certification programs may aid multifamily builders in qualifying for LIHTC in their state.

The map and accompanying table show which state QAPs recognize one or more green certification programs. Project certification is required to qualify for LIHTC funding in a few states, such as Georgia, but most award points toward program qualification. More than half of states recognize one or more programs, enabling multifamily developers to select the most appropriate green program for their specific project.

News & Announcements New Home Sales Rebound in June Despite Affordability Concerns Posted July 24, 2019 on NAHB Now | The News Blog of the National Association of Home Builders.

In states that include requirements or bonuses for third-party green certifications, NAHB works with their state and local HBAs to advocate for state housing finance associations (HFAs) to consider offering choices for green certifications to standards such as the National Green Building Standard (NGBS) and ENERGY STAR. A recent win includes Virginia’s addition of the NGBS as a choice in its latest QAP to gain points toward LIHTC. For more information about your state’s LIHTC QAP green program offerings, contact Program Manager Michelle Diller.

Sales of newly built, singlefamily homes increased in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 646,000 units — a 7% rise from May’s downwardly revised reading — according to newly released data by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau.

On a year-to-date basis, new home sales in 2019 are 2.2% higher than the same period in 2018.

“Though there is a clear demand for new homes, builders continue to wrestle with affordability headwinds, including shortages of buildable lots and skilled labor, that are constraining sales,” said NAHB Chairman Greg Ugalde, a home builder and developer from Torrington, Conn.

“The June figures are in line with our forecast predicting a modest 3.5% growth in new home sales for 2019, due largely to affordability concerns,” said NAHB Economist Danushka Nanayakkara-Skillington.

To stay current on high-performance building, follow NAHB’s Sustainability and Green Building team on Twitter.

A new home sale occurs when a sales contract is signed or a deposit is accepted. The home can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or completed. In addition to adjusting for seasonal effects, the June reading of 646,000 units is the number of homes that would sell if this pace continued for the next 12 months.

The inventory of new homes for sale was 338,000 in June, representing a 6.3-month supply. The median sales price was $310,400, nearly identical to the $310,500 median price from a year earlier.

Regionally, and on a year-over-year basis, new home sales are 19.4% higher in the West and 9.5% higher in the South. Sales are down 50% in the Northeast and 17.6% in the Midwest.

The Last Word on...

Fitness

W

Joe Kannapell - P.E.

hen, out of the blue, two very fit trussers are slowed by heart issues, Senior VP, MiTek USA www.mitek-us.com and I discover my own, I must speak up! Especially since none of us fit the high-risk profile: we don’t smoke, consume much alcohol, or carry much extra weight. Fortunately, thanks to our exercise routines, we are better able to deal with our issues, and this experience encourages me to offer some humble advice.

Don’t blame the truss business for your lack of conditioning, especially since we’re in a generally healthy economy. Now is the best time to address bad habits, while opportunities are plentiful. Talk to your boss if too much is demanded of you. Don’t wait until you begin to physically suffer, or when we’re headed toward recession.

Do find your health baseline, through your physician, and get the tests recommended for your age— that’s how I found out that I had an enlarged aorta that needs to be monitored. Conversely, another good trusser skipped her prescribed colonoscopy and ended up with later stage cancer.

Even if you do get a good physical, take advantage of some further benchmarks to chart your progress.

One way is to attempt (with care) some physical activity in which you previously excelled and contrast the results. Dr. Kenneth Cooper was only 28 when he attempted to water ski with the same intensity as he had as a teenager. The nearly disastrous result of his sedentary years led him to not only change his life, but to change literally millions of lives as he discovered the value of aerobic exercise.

A very modest suggestion is to enter a walk/run—like the BCMC 5K. This event has been part of the Show for the past 8 years, so we can track our progress over nearly a decade. Now with fitness watches, we are able to constantly monitor our heart rates, and (with a doctor’s aid) gain valuable insights.

And don’t hesitate to enter a local run, or the upcoming BCMC 5K in Columbus, regardless of your physical state.

As pictured here, all sizes and shapes come out and enjoy the shared experience of staying physically active, while hopefully also influencing the lives of others.
