"Before we engaged Todd a couple of years ago, we thought we ran a pretty good truss plant. After all, we had been doing it since 1999, and we were well satisfied with our overall profitability. But after spending a week with him, the scales fell from our eyes! We realized we were, in fact, doing a very mediocre job indeed. The good news was that there was a lot of room for improvement.

“... We reached a point though where our manual practices were restricting our capacity to not only serve existing clients but also limited our ability to serve or target new customers. So in the midst of automating our plant and updating our production/design practices, we chose to contact Todd….

Since that time what we learned from Todd has directly led to our getting to the next level--in efficiency, plant capacity, and profitability. There is no way, without his insights and suggestions, that we could have attained the sales volume and profitability we enjoy today. And there's still room for improvement!

His fee was the best money we've spent in a long, long time!"

…Without a doubt, we made the right decision to hire Todd Drummond, and once fully implemented, we have no doubt that United Truss will reach heights we had never thought possible under our old regime. Our entire staff, encompassing our production and design staff as well, were both impressed and thankful for the ideas and instructions that Todd brought to the table.” (Full testimonial on website)

Celebration and Remembrance Anna L. Stamm

Director of Communications and Marketing Component Manufacturing Advertiser.

riting this column on Memorial Day, I was struck by the many reasons we have to feel grateful every day. The holiday provides us with the opportunity to reflect on many aspects of lives, and people in our lives, which we often take for granted.

Remembering How Fortunate We Are Anyone who has seen the news these past few weeks has seen the devastation brought by weeks of tornadoes and flooding. When we moved to the Tulsa area six years ago, we knew we would have a higher probability of spring tornadoes, but this May has set records. Ironically, the worst damage has not been caused by winds—it is the unending rain. Streets I have driven are submerged; local towns I have visited are devastated by flooding. It is epic. In this context, I cannot be anything but grateful that my friends and family are safe, my wind damage is repairable, and we are finally beginning to see the sun again.

Remembering Those We Have Lost Memorial Day reminds us to honor those who have lost their lives in service to our country. Yet, I can’t help but think of those we have lost in service to our ordinary lives. By that I mean our unsung heroes who make a very real difference in our lives, whether or not they even expect any recognition for that.

Sadly, The Advertiser family has lost Matt Moore of Eide. Our readers do not “know” Matt, but he is the person who made sure we had those monthly ads for Eide Integrated Systems and ProCut, LLC as well as the handfull of classified ads. But Matt was more than that. He was a warm human being with a great sense of humor. He was fun to pester each month, and I believe he put up a good fight at the end. We will miss him.

So, thank you again to the people who make a difference in our lives. We appreciate your service, even when it is ordinary and unsung. Everyone’s contribution matters.

Celebrating 50 Years of Truss Design Innovation Joe Kannapell - P.E. Senior VP, MiTek USA www.mitek-us.com

Part XI: A Whole House in the New Millennium

W

e truss designers were outfoxed by an unlikely pair of moguls who knew nothing about truss design. Gene Toombs and Tom Denig, CEOs of MiTek and TrusJoist, without our prompting, announced in 2001 that their companies would join forces to design the “whole house.” Since we designers fashioned ourselves as problem solvers, we feared that they were tackling a nonexistent problem.

Their grand vision sounded a lot like sales hype, and we had no choice but to go along with it. But we wondered how this grand scheme would delay all of the basic programming projects that our CMs needed.

Our fear intensified as we sent two dozen of our best programmers 900 miles away to work on this “OptiFrame” project. Toombs and Denig figured it would take two years to bolt together our Eframe and TJ Expert programs. Knowing how many unfinished projects these programmers left behind, especially relating to wall panels, we prayed that our competitors would be held at bay.

Enter a most unlikely disrupter who barged onto the scene: an unkempt, self-taught, wall panel guy who hailed from a small plant in rural Marks, Mississippi (population 1500 and declining). From that humble background, Tommy Wood had made himself into the foremost wall panel expert in the industry. Somehow Tommy had outfoxed us by peddling a concept he called “parametric” design. This techy “handle” intimidated us who were competitors, and created a rallying cry for hundreds of loyal users. When he teamed up with TrusWal and they jointly launched a competing “IntelliBuild” platform, we had reason to be concerned.

Out in Denver, our worst fears were being realized. After just 6 months, our crack OptiFrame team found that the MiTek and TrusJoist programs couldn’t be merged. An entirely new set of code would have to be written and OptiFrame would be many years in the making. In fact, no one at MiTek would commit to a completion date. Back in St. Louis, we were holding onto our leadership in truss design under the experienced eye of David McQuinn, but we were falling behind in wall panel software, and also in panel machinery technology. Since the walls of a house literally support the trusses, we couldn’t create a viable “whole house” solution without a strong wall panel design component. This seemed to add even more years onto the OptiFrame timeline.

Several fortuitous factors gave us hope and the means to weather this protracted development time. First and most notably, Warren Buffett bought MiTek at the onset of this project. Though Warren was 71 at the time, he had no timeline and was with us for the long run. And, of course, he had nearly unlimited resources. But, as the savviest investor in the world, he wouldn’t have funded this venture without seeing a good payoff ahead. The second factor was our timing: that we developed OptiFrame during the most stable housing market in 40 years.

But the third and most important factor was the foresightedness and sales savvy of our CEOs. Both had more than a decade of accomplished leadership at their respective companies.

As Gene Toombs recently reflected on the genesis of the joint venture, “Both recognized that if we wanted to jump start software, combining our strengths made some sense and we could bring to the industry a better offering while, of course, enhancing our sales.” Thus, we were entering the new millennia with the strongest possible partner, superb and patient leadership, and a high potential to successfully build the “whole house” better than the rest.

Next Month: The “Whole House” Realized

How Your Plant Can Benefit From a Spida Extruder Wall Panel Framing Line

P

owered by people, a manual line in an average component plant is composed of a rough opening station, a subcomponent station, a framing Chris Scott station, a squaring station, and a sheathing station. In the configuration, Square 1 Design & Manufacture Inc typically 8 people are on this line, and 1000 LNFT of output is the average goal per shift depending on the type of construction. So, how does the Spida extruder style wall framing line compare to this?

We’re always asked for specific details on exactly how a plant can benefit from an Extruder wall panel framing line, so let’s break it down. Here are the pros and cons, metrics, and ROI as we see it.

Station By Station: Set-Up and Labor Station 1: Rough Openings (ROs)—Windows and Doors Let’s compare the extruder to the manual line station by station. I have seen a lot of different set-ups for RO (rough openings), some people build ahead and stage the opening in a rack, some do JIT (just in time). I prefer the JIT approach as to having to stage ROs in line. Also, it’s not a true JIT as you will remain ahead by a few rough openings depending on how long your RO infeed conveyor is. The less you handle a product, the better. We will assume that both framing lines use 1 person on this station.

On a manual table, getting the RO onto the table almost always involves manual labor and at least 2 people for larger openings. On the extruder line, the rough opening travels down a powered conveyor onto powered rollers and the extruder operator can enter them into the extruder by himself.

Station 2: Subcomponents—Corners, Ls, Cs, Ladders, etc.

The subcomponent station for both lines will only use 1 person. Some CMs prefer to stock similar subcomponents for a project and have them staged in line. This is usually a station close to but not connected to the framing line. The operator builds the subcomponents, manually stages them, and then the framers manually grab and place them as needed. They are being manually moved twice. The extruder line has this station attached—once the subcomponent is built, it is placed onto the subcomponent/stud conveyor and carried in order of installation to the operations overhead. This set-up saves having to manually move them twice AND delivers them in perfect order so there is no looking for parts and pieces.

Station 3: Extruder/Framing Tables The Spida extruder is where you see the most impact. On average, a manual line has 2–3 guys on exterior walls and 2 on interior walls; on the extruder line, it is 1 regardless of difficulty. Most clients have multiple operators trained and rotating on the machine. The ROs come in on the side and get delivered by a powered conveyor and pop up rollers. The studs, preinstalled blocks, and subcomponents are delivered on an overhead conveyor to the operator. The plates are stored directly behind the operator, typically still on carts.

Stations 4 & 5: Squaring/Tacking and Sheathing The extruder outfeed and conveyors become important as a buffer for the tacking and sheathing stations. On a manual line, you usually have 2 tackers and 1 sheathing operator for a total of 8 guys on the entire line. On the Spida extruder line, the sheathing station is fully automatic—the operator can walk back and forth and help on the tacking station. If we assume 1 more person as a stacker/floater, then that’s 6 people for the Spida line.

Labor Breakdown Even if your manual operation is running as lean as possible, you can easily save 2–3 people on the Spida line. The numbers are even higher in the average case.

What’s more, in my experience, I’ve seen shops struggle to have lean lines with few people, so they’ll run the line with more—and that means the potential to save increases in those cases.

Extruder Benefits Some might argue that saving 2–3 people, or even only 1 person, on the line isn’t enough to justify the cost of an extruder line. But, there are more key factors that may be harder to quantify but are extremely important when considering the benefits of an extruder line.

Output On average, we see up to 1100 LNFT in a shift for exterior walls. For straight interior walls, we have seen up to 1500 LNFT in a shift. This is a mix of residential, commercial, and multi-family.

Because all studs, subcomponents, plates, and ROs are delivered to the operator prebuilt and in order, the complexity of the job has little effect on the average output. In contrast, the complexity of the job with a manual set-up has extreme effects on the output of the line.

Safety With more automation, the safety risks to workers go down. The reduced use of manual framing guns minimizes those risks on the line. The reduced lifting of ROs, subcomponents, and studs lessens the risks of those work-related injuries too.

Quality The quality improves and becomes much more standardized as framing issues, such as nails sticking out (shiners), are greatly reduced to a very small percentage. Moreover, given the challenge of hiring skilled labor now, just think about how much easier it would be to hire someone and train them on the extruder line rather than to become a manual framer. Likewise, young people will be more attracted to a job that allows them to operate machinery driven with a touch screen instead of predominantly manual labor.

ROI Now, all of these benefits come together in the ROI (Return On Investment).

At $15/hour, the loaded wage for an employee is around $35,000 annually. And, when it comes to safety, the numbers are eye opening. In 2017, one study states that the average cost per medicallyconsulted injury was $39,000. On average, the most common injuries in a wood component manufacturing shop are sprains, strains, and nail guns incidents. A system that greatly reduces manual lifting and the use of manual nail guns makes a large impact on your safety costs in a given year.

Quality issues are always a problem—some companies acquire backcharges, some do their own repairs, and some do both—so eliminating these charges can add up quickly. From a wall panel standpoint, the big issues are nail “shiners,” bad lumber/studs, out of square walls, or sloppy framing.

The extruder line limits these by taking as much of the manual process out of the operators’ hands as possible. All walls are squared while the framing nailing occurs, and all nailing is done by the machine (except for toe nailing one side of installed blocks). Studs are pulled and held straight by the machine while sheathing is being nailed on. Not only is the machine providing a greater level of precision, but this also allows the operator to be more focused on the quality as opposed to doing all of the work manually.

When it comes to production numbers, these are a few of the improvements. For some shops, this system will help them dial in their process so they will see an increase in output numbers immediately and the savings will be easy to calculate. Lean manufacturing shops will experience higher quality and more consistent output numbers. Switching between jobs will become more fluid, resulting in production numbers increasing overall. This may also allow you to become more diverse in the jobs you take, because you will have more confidence that it won’t choke your operation.

Yes, I know, we can continue to debate and discuss all of the points outlined above—but that, of course, is the point. From what I’ve seen in action, the benefits of the Spida extruder wall line, combined with a reasonable price, make it at least worth considering if you’re interested in improving any wall panel shop. So, feel free to reach out to me to continue this discussion. I can help you do the research, collect the data, and offer the best solution for your business!

Expect Margins and Lead Time to Decrease in Most Markets

M

any of us have been in the industry long enough to clearly remember the pain of the ‘08 crash. Before the crash, everyone was very optimistic about their own growth potential because the building economy was on fire, which gave everyone a reason to expand their manufacturing capacity like crazy.

Today, most economists are optimistic about the new building economy based on multiple factors, such as a shortage of housing versus the growing population in most markets and a healthy economy keeping inflation at bay for the near term. However, I would like to throw a cautionary warning that what you experienced in 2018 for the good margins and long lead times may not be what you will be seeing this year and in the coming years.

For those of you in the wood truss and wall panel world, 2018 should have been a banner year for your net profits. It was a year when many rightly stated that, if they had greater capacity, they could have had even better sales and, therefore, larger total net profits. The natural result of such good times is that everyone expands their capacity. Most equipment vendors are 9 to 12 months out for new orders. More than a few component manufacturers are not only purchasing new equipment but are building brand-new manufacturing locations to provide even greater capacity, rather than just adding equipment to their existing locations. The capacities to create more wood trusses and wall panels are expanding at a tremendous rate for, at least, this year and the next. This should be a concern for all of you, as it concerns to your bottom line.

Big money is being invested in all types of component manufacturing by outside investors, such as Katerra, Berkshire Hathaway, and others. They are not only investing in the manufacturing process but all aspects of the complete building process. This inclusion goes way beyond what was considered typical vertical integration of component manufacturers supplying their own framers in the field. A simple internet search shows multiple purchase announcements of material suppliers, architect firms, home builders, and many other formerly segregated trades in the building industry, in other words, every aspect. If you think the increased competition somehow will not affect your sales, you may be in denial. This increased competition goes far beyond just component manufacturing but also impacts lumberyard building suppliers. Everyone is expanding, and there are new players jumping into the game with plenty of cash.

Just because the building economy remains strong, it does not mean you will be able to maintain your margins and net profits. Increased capacity on the supply side is accumulating at a substantial rate, and it will inevitably suppress lead times and margins. Heed my advice, there are two important areas where you should be very cautious: investing and improving existing practices.

Investment in new equipment to better meet their needs is what most people naturally depend on when thinking of improvements. However, as an operations guru, I cannot tell you how often I find existing equipment being underutilized, and the new equipment being purchased is not the right fit for their changing needs. There is simply too much group thinking happening within companies and within the industry. Yes, many of you should purchase new equipment to meet the challenges of increased competition, but how much investment and what type is not always obvious.

When it comes to investments for new equipment and buildings, I cannot emphasize enough that you must avoid getting into so much debt that you are unable to ride out the next economic downturn.

Every economic cycle includes down cycles. When the next one hits, if you are carrying too much debt, you will be the first to go.

In order to stay truly competitive, you are going to have to do more than buy new equipment. The best investment that impacts every area, not just the manufacturing process, and has the potential for the greatest ROI is real process improvement. Process improvement is, without a doubt, the hardest to accomplish, the least understood, and most resisted within the majority of companies. No matter the size of a company, a small single-location or a large multi-location, internal resistance to a change of processes is a common problem. Often, upper management talks a good game about always looking for and implementing process improvements (including continuous improvement or kaizen), but reality will not live up to the talk. The two biggest barriers are a company’s bureaucracy and, more importantly, people being unaware of better alternative processes. When someone believes they have a better idea, too often someone else will view the change as a threat to their given area of expertise and perceived authority. Therefore, the new idea dies before it is given a chance.

The other most common problem is people simply do not know how to make the process changes because they were never taught or exposed to alternative ways. I can honestly tell you that people often do not know about better alternatives because that is the case at all of my consultations.

When I show people an alternative and better way to do something they have been doing for years, they are often left speechless. People become defensive, and they look at things as wrong versus right, which only causes more problems. The new method may look like common sense, but it was only after being taught that it became apparent because they just never knew better. Most companies need 6 to

Th e 12 months to implement all of my new suggestions after a consultation. Average process improvement gains are that most manufacturing locations have a minimum increase of 10%, with many achieving greater than 20% with their existing equipment. Other improvements are fewer mistakes, greater optimization of material use, more sales potential, and, of course, greater net profit as a percentage of sales and the total amount of net profit.

Do Connectors on Both Sides of a Truss Ever Need to be Placed Exactly?

O

nce in a while, I’m asked—Is there ever an occasion when connectors on both sides of the truss need exact placement? Well, the answer might surprise you.

There are, in fact, several situations where the top face connector and the bottom face connector need to be exactly placed.

The first situation where precision is essential is when the Joint Stress Index (JSI) is 100% and the mid point polygon on the plate placement plan or method (PPM) has a very small polygon. This small polygon occurs because the point limits any movement.

A second situation can occur when the outside geometry limits any movement. This happens sometimes at heels where the plate size equals the heel size. Like the limited movement encountered in the polygon example, this situation should be avoided by the designer if at all possible, because the standard is very difficult to achieve, if not impossible.

There is a third situation that can’t be avoided nor can the plates be misaligned. That third situation is when using hinged plates. Hinges plates allow the field to reestablish the profile of the truss beyond equipment and trucking capacity, avoiding additional framing and piggy back over-framing. The most important relationship between the top face plate and bottom face plate is the alignment of the pivot point. This center must align, otherwise undesirable consequences will result as the truss is moved into field position. In the photo, the centers do not align.

As the truss members are folded into position to press, the finish roller will flatten and realign the plate and teeth, resulting in distorted and folded teeth greatly reducing its design capabilities. If the holes do not align when folded and pressed, the swinging members will move out of the truss plane, resulting in bracing and load transfer issues.

Especially in the third situation, careful education and evaluation is necessary to ensure accuracy. Some plants use a training aid to facilitate alignment—it’s just a steel pin welded to a small metal plate that sits under the truss and connectors. After some experience, this device won’t be necessary, but its initial use will be invaluable to help ensure accurate plate placement. We may all be accustomed to less-than-perfect alignments between top and bottom plates, but we should all remain aware of the times when their alignment is essential.

Empower Your Team to Success

Ben Hershey 4Ward Consulting Group, LLC

W

hen I recently started some restructuring work for a client, I saw a sign posted on the wall.

As shown in the image here, it took a sad approach to giving 100% at work.

How many of the associates on our teams show up to work on Monday with this attitude and energy level to start the week? When we try to make changes for the better, associates with this attitude are most likely to get side tracked because they think “why should I modify or improve my ways now, the situation at the company will never change.”

I always coach managers and supervisors that our associates want change, they want to see change, but if we are not giving them the tools, or giving them the ability to initiate change, then their view of the company will not change. If you want to succeed, or want your company to succeed, the first thing you need to understand is that your success depends on their success.

The more you empower your employees, the more they will grow and thrive. Here are some tools you can use in your lean journey that will assist in empowering your associates: Give employees generous boundaries. Contrary to conventional wisdom, boundaries don’t restrict team members; they empower them. Define the boundaries within which an employee can make his or her own decisions. In doing so, you give them freedom to act. For example, if you encourage your forklift operator to also review orders with a customer and solve problems without always consulting a manager, you empower them act without consulting a manager all the time and show your customer that your team is not only looking out for the customer but the company too.

Listen intently. Too many managers try to get employees to say what they want to hear. “Tell me we will hit our production target.” This is nonsense. It is far wiser to listen carefully for the truth... and then make the appropriate changes needed in response to that truth.

Believe in your employees. The best managers get outstanding performance from ordinary human beings. If you wait for a team of superstars, you will be waiting forever. Discover what each associate does best and find better ways for your teams to support each other. Bring people together to support and encourage each other. Then believe 100% in these partnerships and collaborations.

Forgive mistakes. If your team isn’t making mistakes, then you aren’t reaching high enough.

But if you punish mistakes, you will encourage overly-conservative behavior. Establish clear differences between acceptable mistakes versus mission-critical offenses.

Provide growth paths. Everything in life—including people— changes. If you don’t give people room to grow, you will force them to either leave your business or grow stagnant. Even if it is inconvenient for you or your business, you must provide robust ways for your employees to grow. Some of this growth can be within the position they have, such as drivers who have learned the systems well and you now empower them to be your representative in the field instead of calling back to the office or bringing a question/issue back to the office.

Praise effort. Don’t focus on talent; focus on effort. Over the long run, effort is far more important than talent. Also, by praising effort you will encourage people to learn and grow, rather than to simply stay focused on the one or two things that come easy to them. In companies that have become stagnant or are not growing, this is one of the common problems/opportunities; we do not praise the efforts of those on our team.

Ask powerful questions. Instead of making rash demands or constantly telling employees how to do something, try talking less and observing more. Then, when you start to actually understand what’s happening, express your observation in the form of a powerful question.

Remember this question, and wait as long as necessary for a good answer. For example: “How could we sell against our competitor who might be 5% less expensive?” Many times when working with a customer, I find that if employees are empowered and feel they are contributing, this is when they come up with new ideas/services that help solve a customer’s real need.

Earn trust. It’s easy to be there for an employee in good times, but will you be there in bad times? How many times do our managers hire someone in the operation only to isolate them and say “this person is not working out.” Never hire a person unless you are willing to support and train that person through thick and thin. In earning trust, you also foster remarkable loyalty and tenacity in your employees.

Give employees time. You can’t always give each employee as much money as they would like, but you generally can give them time. This includes time to learn, time to experiment, and time to manage their personal affairs. Time produces better results.

Set your own ego aside. Too many managers want to be the smartest person in the room, but if this is always true you have utterly failed as a leader and manager. Avoid pontification and bluster. Talk less and listen more. Celebrate your team members, not yourself.

We celebrated Memorial Day last week, remembering those who gave their lives for our country, our freedoms, and the blessings we have as a nation. Though we remember those who gave their lives, it is also important to remember and RECRUIT those who have served. There are many opportunities to hire Veterans in our businesses. One of the best practices in starting to recruit veterans is to use the tools SBCA has to offer through the Workforce Development Program. I encourage you to reach out to the team at SBCA and let them help you in putting a program together to recruit and hire our veterans.

There are numerous tools that we as an association have developed for our members to use to make the process as easy as possible.

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.

The Critical Job of Truss Builders

L

ast month’s fine article by Glenn Traylor, “How Do I Choose Which Plates for a Critical Plate Inspection?”, reminded me of investigative experiences I’ve had throughout my career. The work of truss builders is extremely important, as evidenced by instances of truss failures.

Along with permanent bracing deficiencies, the most common cases of plating error that I’ve seen have been W-trusses clear spanning about 50-ft. As Glenn discussed, a common thread for the peak joint misplacement issue occurs when the top chords are 2x6 (and greater) with 2x4 webs.

Apparently, truss builders may (improperly) shift the plates upward in an attempt to “cover” more of the larger top chords.

Truss Fabrication Quality—A Life-Safety Issue In one case involving a fatality during truss installation, a 2x6 36-ft Fink truss (2-ft. on-center) failed at the peak joint when an installer was standing on the center panel of the bottom chord. The truss design drawing required 5x8 plates to be centered on the intersection of the four members at the peak joint.

As shown in the photo, the 5x8 plates were improperly shifted upward onto the 2x6 chords about 1-1/4 inches. In addition to the plate misplacement issue, the teeth in contact with the webs area were not fully embedded, exacerbating the misplacement error. For the truss cases I’ve investigated, this case was the easiest to diagnose because photographic evidence taken before the collapse showed that temporary truss bracing (both lateral and diagonal per industry recommendations) had been installed.

A combination of plate misplacement and partial plate embedment caused a fatality during roof truss installation.

What “Looks Right” May Not Be “Safe” Though it may be unknown to many truss builders, the design axial compressive force in truss joints was permitted to be reduced by 50% in 1995 with the release of ANSI/TPI 1–1995. Known as the “1/2 Rule,” the tooth count requirement/contact area for joints loaded to the same level in “compression” was permitted to be ½ as many as needed for two members loaded in “tension.” The net effects of the truss engineering rules are plating designs for larger top chords in compression (2x6 to 2x12) having less plate coverage over the butted members; in contrast, the same size chord in tension without the 50% tension force reduction might have almost total coverage of the butted member ends.

It can be noted that the historic “1/2 Rule” provisions were revised in the 2007 and 2014 editions of ANSI/TPI 1. The current version of ANSI/TPI 1 permits a compressive force reduction factor ranging from 0–100% depending upon numerous complicated factors. Details can be found in ANSI/TPI 1–2014, Section 8.3.3.3 (p.72–73) and Commentary to 8.3.3.3 (p.72–74). Visit https://www.tpinst.org/new-tpi1-2014page for a free read-only version of the Standard.

The Take-Away I invite CMs to consider using this example case in training and education of truss builders. Some of the points that could be made are: 1. The job of truss builders is very important, especially when you consider that construction workers walk on trusses during the installation process.

2. During truss installations, truss chords are just as important as wood-based “scaffold planks” which have a safety factor about twice the safety factor of framing lumber, such as joists and rafters.

3. Regardless of truss span, accurate plating of all truss joints is structurally important to ensure both worker safety during truss installation and reliability in-service when exposed to the code-required design loads.

4. Due to the complexity of modern wood truss designs, it is critically important for the fabrication team to carefully review the Truss Design Drawings (TDDs) during the plating process to ensure compliance with the TDDs. In addition to concerns for quality and in-service performance, the importance of proper training and education should not be understated when considering matters of safety.

Celebrating 20 Years of Texas Trusses

By Joe Nolte

I

t was April 1999 when my brothers, Travis and Jason, and I were given the opportunity to purchase a small, residential-only truss plant in Gatesville, TX. What was once known as D&A Roof and Floor Trusses became the first location of Noltex Truss. Jason and I worked together building and remodeling houses, but Travis worked for another company in a different industry. This new venture allowed us to all work together in a family business.

My brothers and I were eager to build a business and serve the Texas communities we loved.

Our mission statement was simple and has withstood the test of time: Noltex Truss is committed to honoring the Lord Jesus Christ by giving our customers a quality product, excellent service, and a competitive price as we continue to grow and service all of Texas and surrounding states.

From the beginning, we knew that we each had different strengths that we needed to tap into to give ourselves the best opportunity to succeed. In the beginning, it was just seeing what needed to be done and one of us would jump in there and get it done. As we’ve grown, it has developed into job titles that represent those strengths. Travis, who is the oldest brother, is our Vice President of Operations, so he focuses on all plant-related issues, whether production or equipment, as well as lumber purchasing. Jason, the second oldest, acts as Vice President of Sales & HR, and he excels at managing anything related to employees and customers. Lastly, I serve as President, and I’m rewarded to be able to oversee the company as a whole and handle all pricing of jobs for our sales team. We also are blessed to have the next generation coming up in the company as well. Travis has two sons who work for us—Finus Nolte is a salesman and also designs for us and Bill Nolte is a designer. Jason has a daughter, a son-in-law, and a son working for us—Ariel Featherston is administrative and manages some reports we use internally, Garrett Featherston is a sales account manager, and Josiah Nolte works at our Midland facility. I have two kids who work for us—Hannah Knox is on our design management team and JD Nolte has worked in our accounting department but currently serves as a designer.

As much blood, sweat, and tears as we have personally invested in this company, we wouldn’t be where we are without the awesome people who are a part of our Noltex family. We have a wealth of experience there as well. Ron Reid is our Sales and Operations Manager and he has over 30 years of experience in the industry. Shannon Johnson is our Controller and she has extensive experience in the accounting field. Shane Grisham is our design manager and has many years of experience in both production and design. The plant managers we have I would put up against any in the industry. Without all of these great people, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

At Noltex Truss, you can depend on our experience, our quality, and our commitment to our customers to deliver custom-built trusses on time and at a fair price. We understand the on-going changes in building trends and are quick to respond to the needs of our customers.

With an entrepreneurial, steadfast vision to grow Noltex Truss into a large, multi-location, multi-vertical construction truss manufacturer, we have endured not only a humble, one location, beginning, but have persevered through many industry challenges and evolved into a successful, competitive industry front-runner, servicing the multifamily, commercial, and residential construction markets in the States of Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Now, we have four strategically-located facilities in Houston, Dallas, Lubbock, and Midland, and hope to continue growing into other emerging Texas regions.

So, to all of our past and current customers, we say a big THANK YOU for keeping us in business for 20 years! We look forward to our continued growth, building a legacy, and offering a wealth of valuable industry knowledge and experience our customers have helped us acquire.

And, to all of our friends, colleagues, and past/present/future customers, we invite you to stop by if you’re in the neighborhood—we’ll be happy to show you around any of our facilities and introduce you to the great people we have working with us.

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!

hiring Options

W

hen it comes to finding the right industry-experienced person to fill a key role, like a designer or plant manager, you have several options. You can DIY and network with employees and industry contacts, engage a recruiter, or place ads and screen candidates internally. I can’t speak to your own individual networking, but I can tell you about two options to focus your search within our industry.

T

he JobLine has been networking (recruiting) in our industry since 1992. Not a typical recruiting company, The JobLine operates as “Your Recruiter Down the Hall.” Using the JobLine is like using a professional networking consultant to locate, screen, test, and present qualified candidates. One of the biggest differences with The JobLine is a strict Non-Solicitation policy—it will never call your competitors’ employees and talk them into applying. What goes around, comes around, and candidates who jump at those kinds of impulses are more likely to do it again. Candidates come to The JobLine looking for career advancement, better pay, better benefits, a better working environment, to search for that perfect job, or they see a JobLine job opportunity on the web and respond. One key benefit in using The JobLine is having a relationship that works for you 365 days a year. The JobLine knows your company and will bring desirable candidates to you proactively. And, because it is contingency-based, no fees are due unless you hire or otherwise employ the candidate.

Even so, we know that not everyone wants to use a recruiter or pay recruiting fees. That’s why The Hiring Zone is a great new option if you want to find industry professionals by posting jobs online at a reasonable cost (as little as $245 per month). With the Hiring Zone, you can place a job posting and candidates will respond directly to you. No middleman or recruiter is involved. Especially if you hire designers, having a posting year-round keeps your company and career opportunities front and center on The Advertiser website and qualified candidates come to you. With the largest and only monthly publication that focuses on the Truss, Wall Panel, Engineered Building Components, and Offsite Construction industry, your posting can be seen by thousands of industry professionals.

AWC Joins Second Year of TimberStrong Design BuildSM Competition

Robert Glowinski is the President & CEO of the American Wood Council (AWC).

E

ighteen teams from colleges throughout the Southwest United States and Hawaii gained hands-on experience in wood design and construction during the second annual Timber-Strong Design Build competition.

AWC joined APA–The Engineered Wood Products Association (APA) and Simpson Strong-Tie to organize and sponsor the competition, which was held in April at the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo as part of the American Society of Civil Engineers 2019 Pacific Southwest Conference. AWC’s Senior Director of Education Michelle Kam-Biron, P.E., and Angel Leon, Training Specialist/Outreach Coordinator for Simpson Strong-Tie, spearheaded the event.

During the competition, each team had one and a half hours to construct a tiny 4’ x 6’ house using lightweight wood-frame construction. Along with building the structure, each team had to submit a report containing a material cost analysis, life cycle assessment calculation, and a structural design to resist lateral and gravity loads.

Teams were also required to give a short presentation on their structure. The event was judged by nine volunteers who assessed the reports submitted, timed and observed construction, watched the presentations, and evaluated each team.

San Diego State giving their presentation

The Cal Poly build site (pictured) was able to accommodate six teams of four-six students at a time, and all 18 teams had an opportunity to show off their work throughout the day.

While some teams constructed their house in as little as 77 seconds, others took the allotted 90 minutes. With only a simple drawing provided, the creativity and innovation illustrated by these students during the construction process was impressive. Some houses even included amenities such as asphalt shingles, a green roof, live plants, and painted themes.

At the end of the day, the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo team from the Civil Engineering department (pictured) finished first overall, followed by the University of Arizona and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

AWC applauds these efforts to educate the next generation of engineers on the ease and benefits of wood design and construction, and we’re actively helping plan a national competition which will be hosted this fall at the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations annual summit in Anaheim.

Lumber Procurement Professional vs. Lumber Buyer

U

ndoubtedly, many people are now thinking: Is there a difference between a lumber procurement professional and a lumber buyer? I am a Lumber Procurement Professional. I’ve been around the business since I was 15 years old and now I’m 64 (you can do the math). I have worked as a buyer for a large retail chain, sales for a small independent sawmill, and for a large international conglomerate in the forest products manufacturing business. I brokered lumber for 18+ years with a very small independent firm and two large firms, but, recognizing my skill set was in the procurement arena, I made the change in the early 2000s. Since then, I’ve sat in the chair of a large national homebuilder procuring all of their lumber and building materials for their operations in Arizona and Nevada, procuring in excess of $100MM annually, experienced the boom and bust of the housing industry, and unfortunately was laid off, only to land in a position with a large start-up, doing the same thing.

Over the course of my career, I have come to realize most companies don’t truly appreciate what a good procurement person can bring to the table. They hire a lumber buyer and don’t even give it a moment’s thought—this person could make them a lot of money, or could lose them a lot of money. The lumber industry is a great industry with companies that flourish, but so many companies struggle as they continue to just do things the way they have always done, expecting better results. Is it time for you to think again about your lumber purchasing?

When you are accustomed to trading in the volumes I have traded in over the course of my career, you are quite foolish not to utilize the Futures Market to protect inventory positions, and to lock in firm pricing for extended projects. Those who utilize these tools do well, and will continue to, while those who choose to look at the Futures Market as gambling are fool hearty. Why not use all of the tools at your disposal?

I am an avid viewer of all posts on LinkedIn, but I wonder how many people actually follow the advice found in quotes by Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, and others with such success in their respective industries. These individuals recognize the importance of hiring smart people with experience in their field and then not recommending they simply do what their boss wants. If you want someone to just follow your lead, then you’re wasting resources and experience. You hire people for what they bring, for something you currently do not have. Can you see any gaps between what you have and what you may need right now?

A Lumber Procurement Professional is good at what they do, they understand the business, and they understand the markets—both the cash market and the futures market. They believe in buying high quality materials, and they expect the people they deal with to be honorable and respectful, with a level of integrity, ethics, and morals—and in turn they do what they say they will do, and reciprocate unequivocally. Do you have an appropriate person in this role for you?

I’m not bashful about my abilities, as I have experience to back them up. People who are good at what they do expect to be paid accordingly, and that investment customarily pays very strong dividends in the long haul. Don’t underestimate the benefit of bringing someone into your organization who has spent time fine-tuning their craft—it will directly affect your bottom line.

Marc Ross 602-768-6730 marc.ross1580@gmail.com www.linkedin.com/in/gmarcross Marc Ross is available for short and long term assignments. Let him help manage your lumber needs and control costs for the short and long term.

In addition to 4 years experience with MiTek truss design software, I have worked in the shop as both a sawyer, and a truss builder, so I have first hand knowledge of how a truss should be designed to save time on the shop end. I also worked in framing and using wall panels. So I have first hand knowledge of how a house actually goes together in the real world, and how trusses layout on framing.

Questions Answered: Strong-Wall® Site-Built Portal Frame System

In this article, we follow up on our April 17 webinar, Meeting Braced-Wall Requirements: A New Portal Frame Solution, by answering some of the interesting questions raised by attendees.

During the webinar, we discussed how the Strong-Wall site-built portal frame system (PFS) provides designers, builders and contractors in prescriptive jurisdictions with a new alternative to IRC wallbracing methods. In case you weren’t able to join our discussion, you can watch the on-demand webinar and earn PDHs and CEUs here.

As with our previous webinars, we ended with a Q&A session for the attendees. Bryan Wert, our Engineering Manager in the Southeast US, and Tom McClain, our Strong-Wall Shearwalls senior product manager, answered as many questions as they had time ford. Now we’re back to recap our answers to some of the more popular questions. If you’d like to see the full list of questions and answers, though, click here.

DESIGN Can the PFS be used for engineered design in seismic design categories D or E? The PFS is applicable for use in Wind and SDC A, B and C for detached one- and two-family dwellings.

At this time, we haven’t yet evaluated the PFS solution for high-seismic conditions. Designs in SDC D0-D2 should consider using one of our prefabricated Steel Strong-Wall® shearwalls (SSW) or StrongWall® wood shearwalls (WSW).

Are there actual lateral load capacities available for the PFS? The PFS is designed for the prescriptive market. We will not be publishing allowable shear loads at this time; just equivalent braced wall lengths.

Can you use 1 1/2″-thick LVL for the PFS? Yes. You would need to shim out at the holdown (or full height) similar to sawn lumber. The capacity would be based on Douglas fir / southern pine.

Is there a code report?

No. We will be pursuing a code report for IRC bracing applications. Our current WSW and SSW Strong-Wall® code reports, ICC-ES ESR-2652 and ICC-ES ESR-1679 respectively, are recognized for use in IBC engineered designs.

ANCHORAGE Can SET-XP® be used instead of SET-3G™?

Yes, SET-XP is an approved alternative. However, since SET-3G is the superior product (by all reports), our recommendation is to use that.

Can the PFS be used on a CMU foundation?

It could, but we haven’t developed the anchorage solutions yet. CMU anchorage solutions are currently being developed. They will probably involve a cast-in-place solution and require anchoring into the footing. This is in the works for 2019.

Is there a cast-in-place anchorage solution for the PFS? CIP anchorage solutions are currently being developed. We hope to have those available by the end of the year.

GENERAL WALL BRACING Are these just for garage openings?

No, they could be used in any portal application. For example, large picture windows, a sliding glass door or similar openings in other parts of the structure.

How does the PFS compare to the APA PFH? Width: We are narrower. 9 1/4″ to 11 7/8″ vs. 16″ Installation: The PFS is easy to execute and much more likely to be installed properly.

Cost: Using sawn lumber makes the material costs about equal. How much margin our distributors add will influence the final overall cost, but we’ll be pretty close. Definitely a lot less than using prefabricated shearwalls.

Performance: The equivalent braced wall length varies by size and framing materials, but we’re comparable.

FRAMING Can holes be drilled in the columns?

We allow for drilling a 7/8″-diameter hole along the vertical centerline of the column, in the allowable hole zone. From 3″ down from the top to 14″ up from the bottom. This is shown in the installation instructions and structural detail PFS1 on our website (strongtie.com/pfs). A “pancake” (flat) electrical box, of the same thickness as the siding, could be cut into the siding for this application.

Can the PFS be used on a wood beam or raised-floor system?

For now, our anchorage is designed around retrofitting with either SET-3G™ or AT-XP® adhesives into prepoured concrete, so we don’t have anything currently developed for that.

Do the columns and beams have to be made of the same material?

No. Using the same material is the simplest configuration, and the easiest to frame; but you could use sawn lumber columns (with a shim) and LVL headers to minimize cost. See page four of our flier (F-L-PFS19) or the structural drawings for details.

Do portal frames come in greater widths to accommodate 2×6 exterior wall framing?

The portal frame system is designed for use in 2×4 framing. Designs that require 2×6 framing due to loading should consider specifying one of our prefabricated SSW or WSW Strong-Wall® shearwalls. For more information, visit Strong-Wall Shearwalls.

SOFTWARE I’m not getting PFS as a solution when I input my job criteria in the bracing selector. How do I make it show up as a solution?

You have to use one of the “height to underside of top plates” choices under the 1st Story Wall Height pulldown menu. The other choices of “with header on top” are unique to WSW or SSW Strong-Wall panels and won’t result in a PFS selection.

The complete list of questions and answers is posted online.

New Simpson Strong-Tie® SDWS Timber SS Screw Provides Durability and Efficiency Pleasanton, Calif. — May 8, 2019 — Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, today announced the official launch of the Strong-Drive SDWS Timber SS Type 316 stainless-steel structural screw, a premium solution for construction and repair of coastal piers, boardwalks, docks and other projects that require structural fastening in extreme saltwater environments.

The SDWS Timber SS prototype was specified and successfully field-tested as the primary pier-board fastener for the $8.7 million modernization of the Pismo Beach Pier. At 1,200 feet long, the Pismo Pier is the 18th longest in California and had several sections that had not been replaced since the pier was constructed in 1928.

To ensure that the Pismo Pier project could meet budget and scheduling requirements while providing the structural durability to last many more decades, Morro Bay, CA–based Shoreline Engineering turned to Simpson Strong-Tie for fasteners that were corrosion resistant and easy to install.

“The use of the SDWS Timber SS screw is a superior alternative over conventional connections and can be expected to last the lifetime of the project,” states Shoreline project engineer Bruce Elster, who provided performance feedback during final development of the SDWS SS fastener. “Their new structural screw has allowed the attachment of timber decking to be done in much less time than with traditional spikes and lag screws, and the design of the screw is stronger, more durable and corrosion resistant.”

Available in 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 8″, 10″ and 12″ lengths, the SDWS Timber SS features a patented SawTooth™ point to eliminate the predrilling and counterboring required by lag screws while providing greater load ratings than spikes without nail-pops and their associated tripping hazards.

“The SDWS Timber SS has been engineered to provide fast, flush installation without the need for counterboring or predrilling,” says Clark Allen, Fastening Systems senior product manager and market segment analyst for Simpson Strong-Tie. “Working with the Pismo Pier project was invaluable for identifying the innovations incorporated into this next-generation fastener. We were able to provide superior corrosion resistance with greater fastener performance at a lower installed cost, than you would get with traditional spikes and lag screws.”

The SDWS Timber SS 316 stainless-steel structural screw complements the Strong-Drive® family of fasteners and is anticipated to provide a broad range of fastener solutions for coastal pier, boardwalk and ledger applications where a flat, flush washer head is advantageous.

For more information about the Strong-Drive SDWS Timber SS, please visit go.strongtie.com/sdwsss.

News & Announcements 2018 APA Health and Safety Award Winners Announced

Solid Strides Forward in Worker Safety During 2018 APA – The Engineered Wood Association has announced the winners of its 2018 Safety and Health Awards. The program celebrates safety and operational excellence in the structural panel and engineered wood industry.

Resolute-LP Engineered Wood and LP won Safest Company Awards in their respective categories, and Resolute-LP Engineered Wood and Roseburg Forest Products Company topped the competition for the innovation awards.

The average Weighted Incident Rate (WIR) for the structural panel and engineered wood industry was 6.99 in 2018, a significant decrease from 2017’s 8.43. The 2018 Total Incident Rate (TIR) was 1.41, also an improvement over 2017’s 1.77. WIR is calculated using both the number and the severity of recordable incidents.

The Equipment-based Innovation in Safety Award went to ResoluteLP Engineered Wood in LaRouche, Quebec, for its sheet metal storage system. The goal was to create a system that allowed a worker to manipulate sheet metal with minimal manual lifting and handling. The new system stores metal vertically rather than by stacking horizontally, eliminating fall and hand crushing hazards.

A highly maneuverable motorized trolley and hoist retrieves and transports the material to its destination without blocking pedestrian areas. The project has reduced the number of hazards for entrapment, increased productivity and minimized the safety risks for the activity.

The Jeff Wagner Process-based Innovation winner was Roseburg Forest Products Company in Coquille, Oregon, for its safe driver process. Based on a number of near misses between truck drivers and mobile equipment operators, the team at Roseburg developed a Safe Driver Process. It erected small buildings at each of three load/ unload sites on the property. These structures, equipped with heat and air conditioning to keep drivers comfortable while they wait, each feature weight sensitive mats connected to flashing lights to let the forklift drivers involved in the load process know that the truck driver is out of their work area. The safe driver shacks have led to a reduction in near misses between truck drivers and forklift operators as well as increased communication and safety awareness.

Begun in 1982, the APA awards program honors the management and employees of companies and mills with the lowest Weighted Incident Rate (WIR) that is calculated using the number and severity of recordable incidents reported on the mill’s annual OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) report. Since 2008 was the first year that WIR was used, awards and reports for 2009 through 2016 continue to also show Total Incident Rate (TIR), the measure used in previous years.

PHONE: 800-289-5627

Seventy-eight APA-member structural wood panel and engineered wood product facilities in the U.S., Canada and abroad participated in the 2018 program. A total of 20 facilities representing six APA member companies earned awards in various competition categories.

Some of the mills were multiple award winners.

In addition to the Safest Company and Innovation awards, other competition categories include Safety Improvement, Annual Safety and Health Honor Roll, 3-Year Safety Award and Incident Free Honor Society. The annual honor roll, three-year average and safety improvement categories are divided into three divisions based on the type of product manufactured at the mill.

While the program awards are limited to APA members, data are collected from both member and non-member mills in order to provide a broad-based industry performance benchmark. A total of 78 mills reported data for 2018.

Winning facilities and companies will be recognized and their safety accomplishments celebrated during the Chairman’s Dinner at APA’s annual meeting in November in Tucson, Arizona. Award plaques also will be presented to the winning mills by senior APA management staff.

The 2018 Safety and Health Awards program was the 11th year of the program under a revitalized safety effort spearheaded by an APA Safety and Health Advisory Committee, comprised of several APA member company safety professionals. Under the committee’s guidance, three main goals were established: make the APA program the premier safety awards program in the industry, encourage the sharing of best practices as a means to improve the industry’s safety culture and programs and, most importantly, improve the industry’s overall safety performance.

APA is proud of industry progress to develop and implement systems and processes that continue to decrease incidents and improve worker safety. More information on the APA Safety and Health Awards Program can be found on the Association’s website at www. apawood.org.

The full list of award winners is available at www.apawood. org/2018-apa-health-and-safety-award-winners-announced.

News & Announcements How Can Business and Industry Work with Educators to Improve Workforce Development?

Posted May 13, 2019 on NAHB Now | The News Blog of the National Association of Home Builders.

Reprinted with permission.

If you are like many business and industry leaders, you are struggling to secure the talent required to move your company forward.

Not enough students are proactively considering the breadth of available career options and the commensurate education and credentials that are needed to reach their goals. More education alignment with local economic needs, transparency in information about careers in all sectors, and a deliberate focus on helping students prepare for these opportunities would improve the situation.

Career and Technical Education Is Key Quality career and technical education (CTE) programs are in a position to address the issue but need your partnership.

There are some great opportunities on the horizon to consider.

The recent passage of the federal “Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act” provides one opportunity to bring business leaders to the table with educators. The law, known to educators as “Perkins V (read ‘5’),” was reauthorized by Congress and signed into law by President Trump nearly a year ago. State CTE leaders are currently working on their plans required by the government to guide how the law will be implemented at the state and local level.

Local recipients of Perkins V funds are required to consult with stakeholder groups as they develop their own implementation plans and states are developing guidelines and supports to help them meet this objective.

If you are in an industry with locations and employees throughout the state, make sure that you have reached out to CTE leaders within the state agency responsible for oversight. You can find that information on this website managed by the U.S. Department of Education.

News & Announcements

Start with Community Outreach Perhaps more important related to your company’s hiring needs, reach out to the local CTE programs in your community if you have not already. The new Perkins law includes a needs-assessment process that will drive development of the local Perkins application that local CTE leaders will be submitting to states for approval.

Business and industry representatives are specifically named as an important stakeholder and local CTE programs will be required to reach out to industry leaders to participate in this process.

If your industry has never been contacted by a CTE program, make sure they know you exist.

Introduce yourself and determine if there are ways to work collaboratively to address the workforce development issues you are facing. The new focus of the Perkins V law includes strengthening consideration of the economic drivers in communities and regions where CTE programs reside, and designing programs that help educate and prepare students for those opportunities.

Collaboration must be meaningful in order to be successful. This means more than an hour-long meeting once per quarter. It might mean providing work-based learning opportunities to students so they can experience the “real world” environment of your business or providing mentors from your company to help guide these students on what it means to be part of your productive workforce.

This is not usually “easy” work, but strong educator-employer connections can be powerful and there are many leaders who have found local CTE programs to be an outstanding feeder of their workforce pipeline. One example is the International Sign Association (ISA), a national trade organization representing many different manufacturing companies and other leaders who are working in sectors supporting signage and display information. ISA has developed a national campaign that connects their members with educational organizations in their local area, and produced resources to assist them in their conversations to build partnerships.

The Association for Career & Technical Education (ACTE) has created a primer document, a Guide to Understanding CTE, which helps explain some of the basics, such as the Career Clusters framework that organizes workforce sectors into 16 groups. It also explains the terminology used by the educators that teach the programs. A good place to begin a conversation with a local education program is learning to speak each other’s language and the Guide may help with that conversation.

Learn more about the Workforce Development Through CTE Initiative. ACTE will be hosting the second Summit Dec. 3-4 in Anaheim, Calif., and we would love to have you join us to continue the pursuit of solutions.

This guest post is from Stephen DeWitt, Deputy Executive Director of the Association for Career & Technical Education, which is dedicated to providing educational leadership in developing a competitive workforce.

I-Joists vs. Floor Trusses

he advantages of open-web floor trusses are beginning to decelerate the growth of EWP. Though I-Joist sales per housing start have increased about 6% over the last two years, the trend has slowed considerably. Some of the small gain is due to the continuation of the replacement of solid-sawn joists. However, most of the increase results from the national builders’ market share growth spurred by EWP manufacturer incentives.

CMs should continue to market floor truss strengths: Quicker installation for framing and mechanical trades: • Replacement of steel hardware with pre-made beam pockets, top-chord bearing details, and customized end conditions.

• Elimination of web stiffeners and most blocking.

• Precision End Trimmed (PET) and no cutting of holes.

• Shortest HVAC, plumbing, and electrical runs due to open webbing.

The trend toward higher density housing: • The number of attached single family units, especially townhouses, has increased 20% since 2016.

• Locating HVAC in conditioned spaces (within floor containers) is often mandated by energy code.

The increasing challenges of I-Joist floor systems: •

Handling 48’ or 60’ joists and processing them through $300,000 saws.

•

Increasingly complicated hole patterns; round, oval, rectangular.

•

Incorporating HVAC in floor containers requires deeper joists.

•

As depth increases, I-Joist costs rise faster than floor truss costs.

•

Precision End Trimming (PET) adds to processing expense.

• Large inventory of stock lengths required to minimize waste.

• More unusable material waste generated.

Lower manufacturing costs: • Joe Hikel, owner of Shelter Systems, emphasizes that building floor trusses is more cost effective than handling and cutting holes in I-Joists.

In summary, floor trusses are more “framer friendly” and better satisfy the goal of increasing “offsite manufacturing.”
