Wood Components in Multi-Family Housing Part Four: Apartment Trends of the 1990s and Beyond

W

hat was true in the Nineties is just as true today, that large apartment jobs can crowd out single family orders. But with the proper mix of work, a plant can achieve more steady production. Since 1993 was nearly as dire as 2010, most CMs focused on the growing single family sector.

After a partial recovery in the mid-Nineties (see chart above), apartment construction experienced 15 stagnant years.

Concurrently, single family starts were on a growth trajectory. Consequently, across the nation, from 1985 to 1993, apartment starts declined from 40% to 15% of the total starts. At the end of the Nineties, apartment starts recovered to only 20% of total (see chart below). Undoubtedly, those dismal numbers prompted Trussway to purchase 6 mainly residential truss plants in Michigan and the Carolinas from Hager Industries.

Not to be overlooked is the unit size disparity between the two sectors (see chart below). However, this is mitigated by several factors. Apartments are multi-story generally built with floor trusses, while detached dwellings are usually constructed on concrete slabs in the South and West. In addition, I-joists increasingly penetrated residential floor construction, and stick-framed floors were still common.

Even if the average per unit trussed square footage neared equivalence, 5 times as many single family units were built from 1997 to 2015. And house plans became more truss-able during this period, as tract builders brought more repetitive plans to nearly every metro market.

One final building trend has dramatically impacted CMs in recent years, the rapid growth of monolithic four and five story apartment projects.

Moving From Best to Next Practices Ben Hershey, CEO & Coach 4Ward Consulting Group, LLC

A

s an industry, there are many times I believe we have been behind the curve in adopting/taking on new technology or hardware in our operations. Over the past 15 years or so, we have seen incredible growth in the use of automation, software, etc., but other industries have far exceeded the building industry in general when it comes to adapting. Of course we’ve made improvements, but we still have work to do.

One of the core changes we have seen is that “best practices” have been standardized in our industry. Some have been around for quite a while, such as the SBCA QC program or the SBCA Safety Program. Other best practices being adopted include our software where as an industry we are talking about unified file formats where as an example our equipment can easily talk to our software. Indeed, some of our adaptation has been learned from what we have seen in other industries. Companies identify best practices, particularly those of market leaders, and try to implement them. Such benchmarking has a role to play in business and it may allow you to catch up with competitors, but it won’t turn you into market leaders. Organizations/associations have also adapted by spotting big “global” issues and inventing best practices.

Ironically, the trouble with a best practice is that you are looking at someone else’s practices, and these can sometimes be highly individual, made up of different groups of methodologies, processes, rules, theories, values, and concepts. Together these practices have provided that specific company a level of success that others – mostly competitors – begin to notice. There is a famous line in the film When Harry Met Sally when you hear Billy Crystal say, “I’ll have what she’s having.” Some of these practices, such as the SBCA QC and Safety programs, are universally good for everyone. But, within your own organization/company, there is no such thing as best manufacturing/procedural/ etc. practices—you can’t simply pick up and plug and play, as one organization’s initiative is never the same set of conditions or positioning that others can simply copy. We desire the “one size fits all” as a comfort blanket. But do you want to have best practices which are really just “same” practices? Wouldn’t you rather move to the front of the pack with “next” practices?

It is not easy to peel away an organization’s practices to understand how they can be rebuilt to become unique.

So many organizations seek to apply someone else’s practice, so they end up as “same” practice. With experience and forward thinking, however, companies can become winners by spotting big opportunities and inventing next practices.

Moving from “Best Practice” to “Next Practice” The digital transformation that is underway becomes a very uncomfortable place. Just when you are learning a practice, those same practices become a thing of the past for the future digital connected world. We need to ditch many of the endeavors that make up a legacy of past practice, and think forward, to which the term next practice becomes the learning spot.

Next practices are all about innovation: imagining what the future will look like, identifying the mega-opportunities that will arise, and building capabilities in our companies to capitalize on them. Apple’s Steve Jobs and Tim Cook and Tesla Motors’ Elon Musk did or are doing just that as they constantly transform their companies. Most owners/managers I work with initially believe it’s tough to identify breakthrough opportunities. However, several are pretty obvious; Peter Drucker once said that the best opportunities are “visible, but not seen.” I have had the opportunity to help many individuals unearth opportunities by focusing them on big problems that their companies will benefit from by tackling.

They must ask themselves these six questions: •

Is the problem widely recognized?

•

Does it affect other stakeholders (suppliers, customers, etc.) in my business?

•

Are radical innovations needed to tackle the problem?

•

Can tackling it change the economics for my company?

•

Will addressing this issue give us a fresh source of competitive advantage?

•

Would tackling this problem create a big opportunity for us?

Although no one can maintain the past, much of our systems are rooted in the 20th century, in markets that were predictable and where supply and demand were simply managed to seek out the status quo. Today we are facing unprecedented changes and technology is re-writing the rule book in everything we are going to do. We seem to be moving from the world of complicated into complex, and it is hitting us in multiple ways, in scale, in speed, and across the whole organization.

‘Next practice’ is a commitment to a process not an end product. In moving from ‘best practice’ to ‘next practice’ we acknowledge that the best solutions come from development. Perhaps a process of development that never stops should be our real goal, much like my on-going emphasis on continuous improvement.

What are the Results of Next Practices Those who adopt “next” practices can be seen as High Performers, Leaders within the industry. They are companies which not only make changes or adopt practices/processes, but also see the increased performance of those changes.

Changes include:

•

Update and achieve results from automated process equipment;

•

Focus on each of the processes within an organization, not just singular;

•

Pull production and equipment productivity to a significantly higher degree than most companies (e.g. reducing batches or set-up time, using kanban systems, etc.); and

•

Utilize a high degree of change in processes towards supplier strategy, material quality, workplace development, and new product development.

But it does not stop with this—these same companies use these next practices to evaluate if the changes made meet the expected results and will go back and continually improve upon the implementations they made.

It’s Time to Move from Best to Next Practices Look outside our industry and find a company near you that is making a dramatic change in how they are doing business (service, manufacturing, or distribution). What you will find are companies that have moved beyond just best practices and have developed their own NEXT practices.

If you look for ways to develop next practices, opportunities abound. In fact, companies will find that they are constrained not by resources but by their imagination. My experience with 100’s of companies has helped me to focus companies on these tracks of success; if we can be of assistance to you, please contact us.

Mind the (Member) Gap

E

veryone knows that member gaps can be caused by uncalibrated saws and poor jigging stops during truss set-up. But did you know the most likely cause of member gaps is the lumber carriage shifting or moving the lumber at an angle, thereby causing a skewed cut? This is especially true when a gang saw is employed.

Even if one side hits hard, the opposite side of the truss may result in a member gap.

It is important to remember that this gap must be held to less than 1/8” for all member to member contacts, excluding floor truss chord splices which must be 1/16” or under. The photographs show examples of skewed cuts resulting in a member gap.

As the catcher is stacking lumber, he should have a calibrated framing square handy. The square should be used every 30 minutes, periodically to verify cuts throughout the day. If you don’t see a square close by to the catcher, you know he’s not aware of this requirement. Linear saws should also be checked, however, skewed cuts (in error) are rare.

The bottom member has a skewed cut that will cause a member to member gap

So, if you’d like to ensure that you’re always producing high quality trusses, then you should remember to mind your (member) gaps and take corrective action as needed.

Are Your Salespeople Selling Your Company into Eventual Bankruptcy?

How you commission your sales reps could lead them to do things that hurt you.

Todd Drummond

M

ost people have a mistaken belief that my services are all about making component manufacturing more efficient. Actually, more than half my time during a consultation is taken up reviewing things like management practices and the sales process. Fact is, sales— correction, healthy sales—is the most important aspect of any business or services. So, it is critical that the management team and the sales team have a proper perspective of what healthy sales entail.

The title of this article is not a joke. Too many component manufacturing companies in our industry are screwing up their markets with self-inflicted wounds, and they fail to understand the causes. Eventually, their sales team will lead them to bankruptcy.

Consider the graphic below showing how sales commissions affect a $1 million sale at various gross margin (GM) levels. In this case, GM covers the direct cost of material plus labor as a percentage of the sales price.

“True GM” describes gross margin after the cost of the salesperson’s commission—something that also ought to be considered a direct cost. Thus, a $1 million sale may yields $350,000 on a 35% GM, but if the salesperson gets a 2% commission, that takes $20,000 out of the proceeds. That makes the True GM $330,000, or 33% of the sale price.

The worst thing you can do is pay salespeople a flat percentage of the total sales price without regard to gross margins. This is a terrible practice; stop it immediately. Why should a salesperson make a commission when the company does not earn enough of a gross margin? *

Link to download a free version of this spreadsheet: https://todd-drummond.com/are-your-salespeople-selling-your-company-into-eventual-bankruptcy/ To a salesperson being paid a commission on the total sale price, the price is the only thing that counts to garner them more sales. A zero GM versus 40% GM project does not matter to them because any sale is better than no sale. Never mind that the low-margin projects are detrimental to the company, what matters to the salesperson is the sale to garner a paycheck. This problem gets worse when reps have control over the sales price because it means they can discount the quotes at will. That is playing with a raging future bankruptcy fire. I have yet to hear a salesperson complain that pricing or cost of manufacturing is too low.

Most salespeople are set up to be in competition with other salespeople for the company’s resources. A classic example is when the schedule is four weeks or more, but the customer needs it sooner. The first thing a lot of salespeople will do is try to push out any other project to make room for their customer (as long it does not affect one of his/her other sales). They’ll do this even if it may screw over the other salespeople. Why do they do this? Because they are being paid monthly on the total sales being processed each month. They have no incentive whatsoever to be in cooperation with other salespeople. When sales are at their peak, all any salesperson wants is more, more, more! More production, design, and delivery capacity. In fact, they are not working for the best interest of the company, they are working for their customers and at times to the detriment of the company.

“Oh Todd,” you might reply, “we can make up for the lost GM though higher volume.” Yeah, right. Let’s look at the spreadsheet again. A million-dollar sale of roof trusses at a 35% GM generates a True GM of 33% after the sales commission.

Now, let’s say wrong-headed bargaining and competitive pressure cuts the True GM to 25%. At that rate, you’d need to generate $1.43 million in sales to produce the same number of margin dollars as you did if you had sold a $1 million project at 35%. That means 43% more manufacturing, design, and delivery capacity to make up for lower GM projects. How many of you are doing this and are also complaining about the lack of labor? It sounds to me like you are shooting yourself in the foot and then complaining it hurts a lot.

Here’s a novel idea: Sell less volume at a higher margin, which means less manufacturing needs, design, and delivery capacity, and yet make more net profit. Management must manage the balance between proper margins versus less volume, which will always hurt the salesperson’s commission totals.

Not all projects should have the same priority for processing. Low-margin projects should only be used for spare capacity and be the lowest priority for any manufacturer. To process and prioritize every project with the same urgency is very short-sighted. Every company has limited resources, and it is management’s responsibility, not the salesperson’s, to define how they are being utilized to maximize profitability. Salespeople should never control the scheduling of manufacturing or delivery.

Track the actual direct cost for each project and apply it to each order for activity-based cost accounting. By actual cost, what I mean is actual material and the person-hours of labor in the manufacturing, not estimated. If your company is not tracking the actual labor in the manufacturing then you are not implementing proper time standards to maximize production capacities. For more, see Why LBM Needs to Hire Industrial Engineers.

Another direct cost that too many of you are overlooking is the delivery cost. “Oh Todd, we figure the GM will take care of the delivery cost,” I often hear. How about that discounted garage package taking all day to deliver with the low margin? Was there enough GM to actually cover that delivery cost? And how much GM was left over to cover the company’s gross margin for the day? Again the excuse often given is sales volume, which somehow the math never proves to be true.

Here’s one last point to be made about sales and margins: The building economy has been very good recently, and it’s expected to be very good this year. This means your net profits for component manufacturing today should be above 10%. If you’re not doing that well in this era of strong sales, maybe your sales team is not properly motivated to make the company produce healthy sales.

To sum up...

•

Sales commission should be based on GM, not the total sales price.

•

Track and apply the actual, not the estimated, direct cost of manufacturing. This includes the delivery cost.

•

Projects generating low gross margins should be used only when there’s spare capacity, and they should get lower priority on the production line.

All the practices that I have been stating in these articles are being used every day by the most profitable companies.

Changing to new practices can at times be difficult but can and should be managed. Get professional advice, create a plan, and execute it with drop-dead dates. * As for what GM is correct for you, that’s a whole different topic. For more, read How a Truck Repairman Can Help You Run a Better Truss or Components Plant to see about establishing the margin based on production time, not a cost markup.

Harold LaValley - Founder and Owner.

Newport, NH Corporate Office Todd, You have a high opinion of the value of your services, and you are not bashful about charging. We have been building trusses since 1962. We believe our people are better than average; our equipment is as good as the best, our yard layout is adequate for our business and over all we questioned whether or not, considering what you charge, it would be worth it. Not wanting to be too myopic we decided to spend some money and listen to you.

I will make this note short. It was the best investment I ever made for our truss shop. I no longer think you are expensive. You covered so much that we will be forever appreciative.

Ryan Lodermeier – President/ Owner Kamloops, BC Canada ...The training and knowledge we received from Todd Drummond far exceeded any and all of our expectations. Our company had some good fundamentals to build on, but since Todd’s consult, we now have a more positive, goal-orientated direction for our company. Todd has left us with the potential to create a more refined production and sales structure, to increase productivity and increase our total gross profits. In essence, every area now has clear goals to help us achieve better results.

There are no words to express how thankful we are that we chose to start changing our business with assistance from Todd Drummond.

The moment he walked through our doors, he immediately began to gain our trust and open our eyes to the areas upon which we needed to focus our attention. (full testimonial at https://todd-drummond.com/testimonials/) Brad Emmert - President Timberland Lumber Company - Brazil IN We started building roof trusses in 2005 and really didn’t have any idea what we were getting in to at the time. I had met you several times and often thought that we should entertain the thought of having you in our plant. It only took us 12 years to pull the trigger! After your recent visit, I now know we should have paid for your service long ago. You gave us so many things to work on, we still have not got them all implemented, but each one we do implement is making a huge difference in our business.

Thanks again for the help!

By Steve Mickley, CPBD, BIM-R

G

enerally, building design refers to the broadly based architectural, engineering, and technical applications to the design of buildings. Therefore, all building projects require the services of a building designer.

Statutorily, the required credentials of a building’s designer vary from state to state and many times someone other than an architect is responsible for a building’s design, which may be surprising to some.

“Architecture” is defined by statute as the rendering or offering to render services in connection with the design and construction of a structure or group of structures which have as their principal purpose human habitation or use.

Based on this definition, architectural services include planning, providing preliminary study designs, drawings and specifications, job-site inspection, and administration of construction contracts. Through registration or licensure, architects are legally qualified to provide these services for any building. But nearly every U.S. state offers individuals the opportunity to render these same services, in connection with a limited scope of occupancy types, without qualifying to be an architect. When someone provides these services professionally, they title themselves a building designer.

But where exactly is the dividing line?

ANSI/TPI 1, the National Design Standard for Metal Plate Connected Wood Truss Construction, defines a building designer as the “Owner of the building or the person that contracts with the owner for the design of the building structural system and/or who is responsible for the preparation of the construction documents.” That pretty much includes anyone designing a building, regardless of credentials. The standard goes on to clarify, “When mandated by the legal requirements, the building designer shall be a registered design professional.” The 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) both define the registered design professional as, “An individual who is registered or licensed to practice their respective design profession as defined by the statutory requirements of the professional registration laws of the state or jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed.” All but a few states PHONE: 800-289-5627

allow owners to contract with individuals who are not licensed or registered architects, often referred to as building designers, to design single-family homes.

Where there seems to be a gray area is in two-family dwellings and townhouses. Some jurisdictions are accepting duplex and townhouse construction drawings by building designers, and others are not. Sometimes within the same state. The IRC defines a townhouse as, “A single-family dwelling unit constructed in a group of three or more attached units in which each unit extends from foundation to roof and with a yard or public way on not less than two sides.” So if a townhouse is a single-family home and you don’t have to be an architect to design single-family homes...? It’s not quite that simple though. Some building officials and state architectural boards confusingly lump duplexes and townhouses in with “multi-family” construction. When they do, they’re resting upon the “statutory requirements of the professional registration laws.” But is that what their statutes say? Florida and Utah’s statutes have specified single-family dwellings, duplexes, townhouses, and their accessory buildings as being exempt from requiring an architect. No others are that clear.

The scope, of the IRC, is to serve as a complete, comprehensive code regulating the construction of single-family houses, twofamily houses, and townhouse units. Might it make sense to use the IRC as the statutory dividing line? Could it simplify the law and reduce, or eliminate, inadvertent licensing law violations?

It’s an accepted precedent, why not use it? For now, everyone but registered design professionals is left wondering which side of the meandering dividing line their next project might be on.

FLEXIBLE EFFICIENT ACCURATE Truebuild® Layout is an entirely new truss design platform by Eagle Metal, developed in the powerful & proven parametric modeling environment. Design modifications are automatically populated throughout the model for precision accuracy.

To maximize designer efficiency, multiple input methods can be used, including conventional UDLR, Reference Dimensions and tracing via DXF, DWG or PDF files.

SOFTWARE SUITE

Learn more at eaglemetal.com or give us a call at 800.521.3245

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.

When Fashion Affects Structure—Floor Design Considerations for Preventing Tile and Stone Cracks

By Frank Woeste and Peter Nielsen

T

wo kinds of designers are involved in home construction— design professionals responsible for the structure and the interior-focused designers responsible for the final appearance. Although these roles can overlap, it is important for design professionals to be aware of in-service demands that will result from interior fashion choices.

In our April 2018 continuing education course at Virginia Tech, we presented and discussed a unit on “Specifying and Constructing Floors to Accommodate Ceramic Tile and Stone.” The 1-hour unit focused on three aspects of floor design that are likely to impact the performance of ceramic tile and stone installations in-service: 1. The use of an adequate design dead load that includes the weight of the hard-surface installation method, 2. The relative importance of joist stiffness and sheathing stiffness in preventing cracks, and 3. Accounting for substantial concentrated loads, such as the weight of kitchen islands with stone or polished concrete surfaces.

This article will review these three aspects and offer guidance for designers and others interested in the structural performance of their products after construction.

Adequate Design Loads for Floors Supporting Tile and Stone An inadequate specification of the dead load (weight) of tile or stone “Installation Methods” by the Design Professionals (DPs) can: a) Cause wood-frame floors to be over-stressed in-service, and/or b) Yield excessive “creep deflection” that can cause cracked grout and tiles in-service.

An adequate dead (sustained) load specification is important for a reliable hard surface installation.

One way to think of “creep deflection” is to imagine an overloaded shelf in a bookcase. Over time, the weight of the books can cause the shelf to bow. The deformation is not visible immediately, but the damage can be permanent. In the case of a floor, not only is the effect on the floor itself an issue, but also the effect on the flooring. The “creep” occurs beneath the flooring, so the flooring is no longer on top of a level surface, and the result can be cracking of tiles and grout.

Weight of Hard-Surface Installation Methods Dead load data for the weights of tile and stone installations have been tabulated in Appendix B of the 2017 Tile Council of North America (TCNA) Handbook for Ceramic, Glass, and Stone Tile Installation (www.tcnatile.com/products-andservices/publications.html). Appendix B is an invaluable design resource as it contains the typical weight of dozens of “Installation Methods” for ceramic and glass tile (hereafter, tile) and stone installed on wood-floor framing.

The following is a sample of 2017 TCNA Handbook Wood-Framing Installation Methods. The Installation Method Dead Load is the weight of the materials above the subfloor. Total Dead Load in the rightmost column is based on an assumed dead load of 10 psf for the subfloor, joist, and ceiling.

Upon review of Table 1, a design dead load of 10 psf is not adequate when the floor covering is tile or stone. This structural issue requires the attention of all professionals involved in the specification of the hard surface/installation method, floor system design, and framing inspectors.

A snapshot from the IRC (Figure 1) indicates that an inadequate assumed dead load can be a “code issue” with respect to maximum span, and, in addition, the extra loading can contribute to additional creep deflection that can result in tile, stone, and grout cracks.

Figure 1. Table R502.3.1(2) Floor Joist Spans for Common Lumber Species.

The content of the IRC table suggests why the 2015 IRC span table for joists has two sections—one for an assumed dead load of 10 psf (carpet, vinyl, wood) and the other for a dead load of 20 psf (typical residential hard surfaces).

Tile Cracks and Related Engineering Science Tile cracks typically form on top of and parallel to the joist. The overriding practical question is: •

With respect to floor design, what is more important for protecting tile or stone from potential cracking, joist deflection/stiffness (L/xxx) or floor sheathing thickness/stiffness?

Keith Bretzfield, a former graduate student at Virginia Tech, applied engineering science of beams to shed light on the question and published the results in 20031.

From engineering science for a beam, 1/ρ = M/EI

where

ρ is the “radius of curvature” of the beam at the location of bending moment (M), and

EI is joist stiffness.

To translate the expression, the amount of “bend” at any cross section of a floor joist (or sheathing) span is proportional to the bending moment divided by the product of the Modulus of Elasticity (E) and moment of inertia (I) of the section.

Referring to Figure 2 and the tile depicted, joists and subfloor/substrates with the largest possible “ρ” will minimize the stresses induced in the tile from bending action of the joists and sheathing/substrates, respectively.

Background: How Tile Installation Methods are Tested A cross-section of the ASTM 627 Robinson-Type Floor Tester is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Cross-sectional view of the test specimen assembly of the Robinson-Type Floor Tester (ASTM C627).

The ASTM C627 standard for testing tile Installation Methods includes a rotating platform that applies up to 300 lb at three locations. The loads are applied through three 4”-diameter swivel caster wheels that are each separated by 120°. The test requires three different sets of three wheels, which are comprised of soft rubber, hard rubber, and steel. Different test cycles require different wheel compositions.

The test does not include the deflection of the joists and butt joints in the subfloor and underlayment that are present in an actual construction. Likewise, our calculations to follow represent a best case scenario for an actual tile installation because a constructed floor contains joists that deflect under loads and the floor sheathing is butted at the 4’ x 8’ panel ends.

We calculated ρ for four (wood sheathing) installation methods using the following assumptions: 1. A 300 lb concentrated load in the first sheathing span at the point of maximum moment, and 2. No composite action between the subfloor and underlayment.

Table 3: Radius of curvature (ρ) for first sheathing span at maximum bending moment when loaded by a 300 lb concentrated load as applied in the ASTM C627 test of Installation Methods. (Note: For 16 oc, M=927 in-lb; for 24 oc, M=1301 in-lb.)

Summary—Relative Importance of Joist Stiffness (L/xxx) versus Sheathing Stiffness 1. Floor sheathing bend as determined by (1/ρ) under a concentrated load is about 23X greater than the bend of the joist under 60 psf uniform live and dead load.

2. Based on field evidence and the engineering analyses presented (above), the structural designer for floor areas supporting tile or stone should place the greater emphasis on subfloor/sheathing specification relative to joist framing specifications.

3. The analyses and recommendation as summarized above did not include the impact of end butt-joints in the subfloor and the impact of differential joist deflection due to concentrated loads, girders, and points of bearing that can cause differential deflections of framing.

Practical Specifications for Concentrated Floor Loads For ceramic tile, the 2017 TCNA Handbook has “deflection requirements” listed for all framed floor system Installation Methods that cites the IRC and IBC as well the following requirement: “For ceramic tile installations, maximum allowable floor member live load and concentrated load deflection for framed floor systems shall not exceed L/360, where “L” is the clear span length of the supporting member per applicable building code.”

In view of this language, uniform live load and concentrated load deflections in residential/multi-family applications are a requirement for the “supporting member” or floor framing system. The TCNA “concentrated load deflection” requirement is in addition to the requirements of the applicable IRC, as we are not aware of a concentrated dead-load deflection requirement in the 2015 IRC (or earlier editions). Knowing that concentrated loads such as kitchen islands may be shown on the Construction Documents, it is incumbent upon the design team to specify concentrated loads for the Component Manufacturer’s (CM) use, or other measures to address the expected deflection from concentrated loads.

An example of a modern and large kitchen island in residential construction is shown in Figure 4. The framing design question is—given the footprint of the island, what is a reasonable dead load specification?

The density of natural stone can vary between 160 and 200 lbs/ft2. As such, a stone thickness of 1¼” (30 mm) can weigh between 16.7 and 20.8 psf. Considering the weight of the cabinet, doors, and shelves, the island weight without contents approaches 30 psf (a sustained load).

The fact that it is a “sustained load” is very important, as “creep” is caused by sustained loads. Assuming the total dead load of the island with contents is 40 psf, it should not be considered equivalent to a 40 psf live-load due to “creep” deflection from sustained loads. Simply stated, an L/360 design based on a 40 psf live-load can experience additional creep deflection in-service due to a 40 psf “sustained load” with the actual joist deflection approaching L/180 (using a creep factor of 2.0 from ANSI/TPI 1-2014).

Figure 4. Kitchen island oriented parallel to the floor framing.

For this case, almost the entire weight of the island would be supported by two framing members at 24” on-center.

Prescriptive Specification for Residential/Multi-Family Concentrated Loads After spending a lot of time on this subject prior to our 2018 short course, we contacted Scott Coffman, P. E. (Constructionscience.org) for feedback from a professional with 35 years of wood-frame design experience. When asked for his thoughts on a “prescriptive design specification” when modern kitchen islands are involved in a project, his comments were in-depth but started off with three easily-understood conditions for an effective prescriptive specification:

1. Can it easily be understood, 2. Can it feasibly be implemented, and 3. Can it be inspected.

Based on the 30+ years of experience we’ve had interacting with DPs in educational programs, we’ve found that most DPs are not aware of the impact of “sustained loads” verses “live loads” in terms of laboratory-tested creepbehavior of solid-sawn, I-Joists, and floor trusses subject to large sustained loads. For an “engineered design approach” to the issue, very specific load data and the footprint of the island would need to be specified along with accurate “creep factors” for the sustained load level involved. Thus, in the first author’s opinion, the “engineered design approach” violates Conditions 1 and 2 above: the design issues are very complicated and a reliable implementation is unlikely.

In view of the practical constraints cited, we offer two prescriptive options for Contractors, Homebuilders, and DPs to communicate the existence of substantial concentrated loads produced by modern kitchen islands, and, as such, provide a measure of protection for ceramic tile/stone floor installations in residential/multi-family application.

For Solid-Sawn and I-Joists •

Joist spacing beneath kitchen islands shall be reduced by one-half and indicated on the joist framing plan.

For Floor Trusses •

Floor trusses beneath kitchen islands shall be doubled.

We believe these prescriptive specifications are a practical “default option” to actual load specifications for kitchen islands by Contractors, Homebuilders, and DPs for residential/multi-family projects. Of course, with specialized engineering knowledge of the long-term deflection behavior of wood-joist products, in-service island sustained loads, and the island footprint, a more economic design for hundreds of identical units might be possible and cost effective.

Conclusions The design of residential and multi-family floors has become more complicated due to the widespread use of hard surfaces and the placement of heavy items, such as large kitchen islands, in the center section of the framing spans. When the uniform and concentrated loads, including creep deflection, are not properly accounted for in the floor system design, in-service performance issues of the hard surfaces can be expected.

Based on our analyses and experience, we offer the following suggestions for consideration by the design team.

1. Prepare Construction Documents that contain: a) the TCNA tile/stone Installation Method, b) the weight of the installation method, c) the footprint of kitchen island (and other heavy equipment), and d) a specification that joists shall be doubled (or spacing reduced by 1/2) beneath the island.

2. Require floor system designs based on a “total load” that includes the actual weight of the TCNA Installation Method for the hard surface listed in the Construction Documents.

3. Upgrade the subfloor thickness above the thickness specified for the TCNA Installation Method in the Construction Documents to improve the predicted bending behavior of the floor sheathing under a 300 lb concentrated load. (For example, a 23/32” T&G plywood panel has a bending stiffness (EI) of 320,000 (lbf-in.2/ft) when installed as a subfloor, whereas a 7/8” panel has an EI of 500,000 (lbf-in.2/ft). The EI of a 7/8” subfloor panel is 1.56 times greater than the EI of the 23/32” panel, thus providing substantially more protection for the hard surfaces.)

4. Require strongback bracing for floor trusses in an effort to protect tile and stone floors against potential hard surface damage due to differential deflection of the joists (and to improve the likely vibrational performance of floors as well).

5. Offer Customers (homebuyers and owners) floor framing and subfloor “upgrades” for added protection against the likelihood of tile and grout cracks and annoying floor vibrations.

Historically, the design rules in our residential construction building codes addressed a concern for plaster cracking (L/360 liveload only deflection) and a floor collapse (40 live load plus 10 psf dead load) when solid-sawn joists and wood flooring were the norm. Fast-forward 100 years, longer joist spans, hard surfaces (ceramic, glass, and stone), and large kitchen islands are common, yet the current IRC does not include provisions to address the intrinsically inelastic nature of hard surface flooring.

To do so, the design team must take into account concentrated floor loads and total load deflection to mitigate the serviceability issues that stem from the use of hard surface flooring. Hopefully, this article will provide motivation for a coordinated effort by the design team to address serviceability issues for modern construction with hard surface flooring.

Letters to the Editor By a Letter to the Editor, we invite comments and ideas on the design of floor framing to reliably accommodate tile, stone, and kitchen island type loads in-service. Please send comments to Anna Stamm.

Where are the Designers Who Will Relocate?

N

ot too long ago, before remote design was an option, relocation was one of the best ways in our industry to advance. Candidates, who were ready to take the next step Thomas McAnally in their career but were stuck in their job for many reasons, would look for better The opportunities by changing companies, sometimes requiring relocation. Whether they were looking for an advancement, more pay, or better benefits, relocating was a good option. One reason relocation was happening more then than now is the difference between opportunities. Back then, when the need for designers was exploding, it was all compensation-driven. It was not unlikely to find a job that paid $10-20,000+ more, making relocation profitable.

JobLine

Baby Boomers and Next Gen candidates seemed to have had fewer issues with picking up house and family and moving a few hundred miles away for the right opportunity when they were younger. But now, fast forward to Millennials and three key factors are taking relocation off the table. First, the current generation is focused more on their social life than career. In general, most of my younger candidates tell me that they or their family are too connected to local friends, church, activities, or area to consider relocation. Second, jobs that offer relocation are not giving as big a pay increase as before, and moving laterally in compensation needs to have good upsides to consider relocation when also considering the third reason. Third, Millennials are more connected to technology and prefer remote opportunities, be that local or long distance. It fits their social style, gives flexibility, and lets them build the technology environment they want. Pay is similar and most remote designers are hired with benefits, not as 1099 contractors.

“If you are not offering remote opportunities now, better get there soon or you may find your people working remotely, for your competition.”

My Advice for Employers: Bottom line, if you want a millennial to relocate, you better have a great company culture, an inviting and flexible work environment, and pay that’s at or above industry standard. Look at what big Silicon Valley companies have done to change their culture and office environment, then see if you can borrow a few ideas to improve yours. Better offices, better technology, flexible schedules, relocation perks, and even part-time remote can sweeten the deal. The good news is you can keep the hiring bonus.

Millennials are too smart to bite at a short term gain. If they are going to leave their current work and home environment, your opportunity has to rock!

My Advice for Employees: So there you have it Candidates, to relocate or not depends on your goals. Just know that if you choose to relocate, be sure to look at many options to find the perfect opportunity. Don’t jump at the first one you find.

Get as much detail about the company as possible, including their stability and employee satisfaction, and even consider talking to an insider about the company before you put your name in the hat.

TERMINAILER 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.

Forward Thinking.

Respecting the Past.

Ask most people about the lumber industry and you’ll get a fairly predictable list of descriptions. What you’re not likely to hear are terms like: ● technologically advanced, ● sustainable logging, ● small log harvesting, ● green lumber products, ● commitment to healthy communities, and ● ecologically-minded forest management When people talk about Vaagen Brothers, that’s exactly what you’ll hear.

Working in the forests of Washington for more than 50 years, we’ve learned to take the best of traditional logging and lumber milling practices and combine them with advanced production technologies and forward-thinking sustainable forest management practices to create a company that’s as vibrant and growing as the healthy forests and ecosystems necessary to its success.

Renewing Our Commitment to Sustainability

W

ood is the go-to material for builders in the U.S., where we have some of the highest construction standards in the world. Why? It’s easy to build with, strong, safe, and renewable. It’s also the right material for our planet since wood allows for a smaller carbon footprint than alternative structural products.

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

Some experts have proposed that resilience objectives in construction include the use of low carbon materials with low embodied energy, such as wood – which makes sense. Avoiding materials with large carbon footprints, in either initial construction or rebuilding following a disaster, would be a win-win for a resilient environment.

The North American wood products industry is committed to sustainability in its products and their use. In support of this commitment, AWC and the Canadian Wood Council (CWC) joined together to produce third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Transparency Briefs that describe the environmental performance of many of the products we produce.

Nine of these existing EPDs have been renewed for one-year extensions by the third-party verifier Underwriters Laboratories Environment (ULE), an independent certifier of products and their sustainability. The following are the renewed EPDs by extension period.

July 23, 2019 April 16, 2019 North American Glued-Laminated Timbers

North American Wood I-Joists

North American Oriented Strand Board

September 17, 2019

North American Softwood Lumber

Redwood Decking

North American Softwood Plywood

November 13, 2019

July 12, 2019

Medium Density Fiberboard

North American Laminated Veneer Lumber

Particleboard The North American Cellulosic Fiberboard and North American Laminated Strand Lumber EPDs are third-party verified through February 24, 2021. The North American Hardboard EPD is verified through August 31, 2021.

Wood is the perfect building material because it is renewable, reusable, stores carbon that reduces greenhouse gases, offsets use of other materials that are fossil-fuel-dependent, and is energy efficient. Reducing our country’s reliance on fossil fuels – and thus our greenhouse gas emissions – creates more resilient communities.

Tall Mass Timber Building Code Changes Pass First Hurdle The highly-anticipated International Code Council (ICC) Tall Mass Timber Building code changes passed an important first hurdle in late April. The ICC code changes committee responsible for this part of the process approved each of the 14 proposals submitted by the ICC Ad Hoc Committee on Tall Wood Buildings by wide margins. The ICC code hearings brought together code and fire officials, along with engineers, architects, builders, and other construction professionals as part of the first public step in approving code change proposals for the 2021 set of ICC codes. Once officially approved by year-end, the code changes resulting from these proposals would collectively allow mass timber buildings to be constructed up to 18 stories in height.

Lumber Briefs

By Matt Layman Publisher, Layman’s Lumber Guide

Lumber: Why So High?

Rationing

O

n May 23, in its most active lumber futures day ever, the market traded $68 of volatility from $15 limit down to $30 limit up and back down $15 to unchanged. Why is that?

Futures suspected what we Layman’s Lumber Guide members have known since midMay. BC mills are not selling production and have not since early May. The rationing tactic was just that...• sell small offerings, • sustain the panic, • jack up prices. That intraday $30 futures rally was the result of one mill selling some quantity of $660 2x4 #2.

The immediate $15 sell off was the reality of what mills are not saying. That is, how much is getting sold at each of these rationed offerings at higher prices.

Western Canadian production is down by 5% and shipments are down 20% through Q1. No argument. What’s missing from the daily sales pitch is that mills are not selling production. The 8-week shipment lead times and order files have been cut in half over the past three weeks, all while prices have been pushed higher by $60/mbft.

A standard measure of a market changing momentum is price moving in one direction while sales and shipment volumes move in the opposite direction.

You will hear from Canada that BC mills will continue to ship 20% less to the U.S. and ration supply because of the duty. That is bullish as long as buyers are building inventories. It does not work and is bearish when buyers are liquidating or just maintaining stocks. What better fitting a time for the end to this historic lumber mayhem than Memorial Day.

U.S. & Canada Share the Responsibility BC mills have made the decision to reduce U.S. shipments by whatever they can sell elsewhere, China, Korea, Japan, etc. The reasoning is that no other importer has a duty. They can get 20% more elsewhere. Fair enough. Currently, BC only ships 46% of its production to the U.S. That is exactly what the U.S. Lumber Coalition has been lobbying for over the last 20 years. Less Canadian wood and higher prices all around creates windfall profits.

When looking for someone to be angry at about $700 lumber, don’t lay all the blame on Canada...and don’t blame the Crown for helping its citizens. America bribes millions of profiled citizens and non-citizens with welfare checks to stay out of the way. (I mean workforce.) Most of the responsibility for record high lumber prices falls on the U.S. Lumber Coalition who orchestrated this whole thing at your expense. Even those who are not members of the Coalition are complicit by not opposing it along the way.

Unless we like paying $4 per stud on the weekend or losing 30% honoring jobsite commitments, it’s time to make some noise.

Justified or not, we are suffering through the U.S. Lumber Coalition’s win.

Now don’t pick up the phone and blast your mill sales person. They are just doing their job as best they can while being under attack every day for something they cannot control.

If you want to be heard, be part of an organized association with lobbying connections, such as • Structural Building Components... www.sbcindustry.com, • American Wood Preservers... www.awpa.com, or • 1 of 12 U.S. lumber dealer associations closest to you... www.dealer.org.

How to Safely Select Nail Substitutions for Connectors

By Paul McEntee A few days ago, I was speaking to a customer about an application using alternate fasteners for a joist hanger installation. Her questions come up often, so I thought I would dedicate a post to some of the resources available that cover the use of different nails in connectors.

Designers and builders often wish to use different fasteners than the catalog specifies. The application could require short nails that don’t penetrate through the back of a ledger or they want to use screws or sinker nails for easier installation. The Wood Connectors Catalog provides multiple options for alternate nailing for face mount hangers and straight straps on page 27.

The load adjustments for alternate fasteners cover substitutions from a common diameter of 16d to a 10d, or a 10d to an 8d. Multiple different replacement lengths are also covered, with reduction factors ranging from 0.64 to 1.0.

Fastener Reduction Factors

It is important to remember that double shear hangers require 3” minimum joist nails. Short nails installed at an angle in double shear hangers will not have adequate penetration into the header.

Pneumatic nail guns used for connector installation are commonly referred to as positive placement nail guns. These tools either have a nose piece that locates connector hole, or the nail itself protrudes from the tool so that the installer can line the nail up with the hole. Most positive placement tools do not accept nails longer than 2½”, so framers using these tools will want to use 1½” or 2½” nails. To accommodate installers using pneumatic nails, we have a technical bulletin T-PNUEMATIC. This Fastener - Double Shear Continued next page

bulletin provides adjustment factors for many of our most common embedded holdowns, post caps and bases, hangers and twist straps.

The question of nail size also comes up when attaching hangers to rim board, which can range from 1” to 1¾”.

The adjustment factors in C-2013 don’t necessarily apply with rim board, since the material may be thinner the length of the nails used. We also have a technical bulletin for that application – T-RIMBDHGR.

Rim Board Reduction Factors Several of the reduction factors are the same as those in the catalog. Testing of hangers with 10dx1½ nails on 1” OSB or 1¼” LVL did not do as well, however. We observed that once the nails withdrew a little bit under load, they quickly lost capacity. For that reason, we recommend full length 10d or 16d nails on those materials.

Understanding that alternate fasteners are available for many connectors can help you pick the right fastener for your application. When you specify a connector, it is important to also specify the fasteners you require to achieve your design load.

News & Announcements Simpson StrongSimpson StrongTie Supports Tie Sponsors Habitat’s Women’s ICC’s Building Leadership Build Safety Month

Pleasanton, Calif. – Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, sponsored the Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley Women’s Leadership Build on Friday, May 18. Simpson Strong-Tie CEO Karen Colonias participated in the build and spoke as part of a panel of women executives in the Bay Area.

Pleasanton, Calif. – May 3, 2018 – Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, is joining other industry associations and organizations in supporting the International Code Council’s (ICC) 2018 Building Safety Month in May. As co-sponsor of one of the campaign’s theme weeks, Simpson Strong-Tie is encouraging the industry and the general public to learn more about the role of building codes, officials and other professionals in making buildings, homes and decks safe and strong.

The Women’s Leadership Build empowers women leaders from the local business and civic communities to make a concrete difference in the housing crisis by building affordable housing.

The build took place in Central Commons, Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley’s 30-home development in Fremont. Simpson Strong-Tie donated $10,000, and other women leaders in the company including its VP of Human Resources and its director of Global Quality Systems joined Karen Colonias at the build.

Building Safety Month is a public awareness campaign conducted by the ICC each May to help individuals, families and businesses understand what it takes to create safe and sustainable structures. This year’s campaign theme is “Building Codes Save Lives.” The five-week campaign spotlights specific aspects of building safety through weekly topics – “Partnering with Code Officials to Build Stronger, Safer Communities,” “Advancing Resilient Communities Through Science & Technology,” “Protecting Communities from Disasters,” “Safeguarding Our Water” and “Improving Education & Training Standards for a Safer Tomorrow.” The overall goal is to drive home the importance of adopting modern, regularly updated building codes; implementing a strong and efficient system of code enforcement; and developing a well-trained, professional workforce to maintain the system. To learn more about the campaign and how to get involved, visit buildingsafetymonth.org.

“The Women’s Leadership Build is an incredible way to bring our community together to show what women can do to create profound and lasting change,” said Janice Jensen, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley. “Housing is a key issue, and it’s one that affects women and children especially. Simpson Strong-Tie has shown incredible commitment to this issue by supporting Habitat for years, and it’s wonderful to have them at the Women’s Leadership Build and lending a hand up to others.”

“We’re proud to be an annual sponsor of Building Safety Month,” said Karen Colonias, president and CEO of Simpson StrongTie. “Our structural products help people build safer, stronger homes, buildings and decks. It’s only fitting for us to sponsor Week One’s theme of Partnering with Code Officials to Build Stronger, Safer Communities.”

Simpson Strong-Tie has supported Habitat for Humanity for more than two decades and has been a national sponsor since 2007, donating more than $5 million in cash and products, including the structural framing hardware (connectors and fasteners) and reinforced shear walls used in new home construction. The company also supports Habitat for Humanity’s annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project and Habitat Strong, a program for building more resilient homes.

PHONE: 800-289-5627

As a sponsor, Simpson Strong-Tie has several resources that help support the initiatives of Building Safety Month, including educational materials for designing and building homes and other structures that can resist earthquakes and high winds, as well as for constructing and retrofitting code-compliant wood decks. These resources can be found on the Simpson Strong-Tie homeowner website, safestronghome.com.

2017 APA Safety and Health Award Winners Announced Program Honors Manufacturers for Safety Strides APA – The Engineered Wood Association recently announced the winners of its 2017 Safety and Health Awards, a program that encourages and recognizes safety and operational excellence in the North American structural panel and engineered wood industry.

Smartlam, LLC and LP won Safest Company Awards in their respective categories. Smartlam, LLC, which produces cross-laminated timber at its facility in Columbia Falls, Montana, won its award in the category for companies with three or fewer mills. The company posted a 4.19 WIR for 2017. LP, a producer of engineered wood products in the U.S., Canada, and South America, earned top honors among companies with four or more mills, with a 2017 average Weighted Incident Rate (WIR) of 3.16.

The coveted Innovation in Safety Award went to two winners: Boise Cascade Company of Medford, Oregon for the Equipment-Based Innovation Award, and Boise Cascade Company of Oakdale, Louisiana for the Jeff Wagner Process-Based Innovation Award.

Equipment-Based Innovation Award Boise Cascade Company, Medford, Oregon Chris Lawrence, Region Safety Manager submitted an innovation inspired by an ongoing safety concern due to veneer and debris becoming airborne on the strip tray belts rather than following the decline of the waterfall belts. The Belt Hold Down was designed to keep the veneer on the waterfall belts. It functions automatically and has a manual option for lockout and maintenance. The innovation has effectively eliminated the hazard of veneer and debris flying off of the affected tray. Boise Cascade reports that the improvements were apparent at once; the number of near misses, first aid only, and debris in eye incidents have been reduced.

Jeff Wagner Process-Based Innovation Award Boise Cascade Company, Oakdale, Louisiana The Splinter Reduction Video submitted by Roger Goss, Safety Coordinator, was introduced in an effort to decrease the severity of splinter injuries by teaching proper pulling techniques at the dryer grader position. If an employee is observed pulling incorrectly, the employee is not only corrected, but is then required to view the training video to refresh and enforce proper pulling techniques.

Since its implementation in August 2015, data has shown a decrease in the number of splinter injuries and in the severity of the sliver injuries that do occur. No recordable incidents were caused by splinters in 2017.

Begun in 1982, the APA safety awards program honors the managements and employees of companies and mills with the lowest WIR, which 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 2017 continue to also show Total Incident Rate (TIR), the measure used in previous years.

Seventy-five APA-member structural wood panel and engineered wood product facilities in the U.S., Canada, and abroad participated in the 2017 program. A total of 10 facilities representing six APA member companies—Boise Cascade Company, LP, LouisianaPacific Canada Ltd., Norbord, RoyOMartin, Smartlam, LLC—earned awards in various competition categories. Some of the mills were multiple award winners; see the complete list below for more details.

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. Twelve mills achieved a zero incident rate for the year and thus were named to the 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.

News & Announcements Rising Prices of Lumber and Steel a ‘Terrible Downward Spiral’ Posted May 17, 2018 on NAHB Now | The News Blog of the National Association of Home Builders Reprinted with permission

Hefty tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber imports are causing lumber prices to skyrocket and making many home builders pray for a prolonged price plateau.

Will it be long before more builders start using alternative materials to lumber? Steel-framed homes make up a very small portion of the overall market, but that may change as prices shift.

“Steel is slightly more expensive [than softwood lumber] at this point,” says Vic DePhillips of Steel Modular Systems in Bloomsburg, Penn. “But if prices for softwoods keep going the way they are, steel might soon be the less expensive option.”

That is, only if steel doesn’t get a similar tariff treatment to that of lumber. Late last month, the Trump administration decided to delay imposing a substantial 25% tariff on imported steel until at least June 1.

While the tariffs are said to be part of a strategy to protect domestic industries, many like DePhillips don’t see it that way.

“Whatever happens with steel, it will be the same as what’s happening with the softwood market: As soon as we put a tariff on [these imports], all the domestic suppliers raise their prices, too,” DePhillips said.

“You mean to tell me that U.S. Steel is going to sell for 1215% less just because of the tariffs on imports? That’s not going to happen. All of the prices will rise no matter where it’s coming from.”

DePhillips calls the impact of rising materials prices a “terrible downward spiral” that is driving up the cost of new homes.

For many consumers, higher costs might deter them from buying a home. And for some builders, it might prevent them from selling more homes.

“Will the price increases simply lead [builders] to pass along a modest surcharge? Or will the higher prices eventually be enough to push them to the point they can’t get appraisals to satisfy a sales price? At this point, we don’t know. But it’s a serious threat to our industry,” DePhillips said.

Surmounting Higher Prices Despite the rising costs, DePhillips has yet to see any decrease in demand. In fact, keeping up with demand is what has most of his attention — interest in modular construction has increased largely as the result of the skilled labor shortage.

Built in Greenwich, Conn., this 4,750-square-foot colonial was manufactured by Westchester Modular Homes and won a 2018 BSC Jerry Rouleau Award for Modular Home Design.

“Though our prices for materials go up just like the next guy, [modular construction] is a way to build more efficiently and at a lower cost,” he said. “Plus, I know there are plants that are currently running under capacity that could help more builders build more products.”

NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz agrees that at only 3% of the new-homes market, modular construction could be looked upon as a viable solution to help ease the challenges of limited labor and rising costs.

“Building more with less requires changing how we build — and every little bit helps,” Dietz said. “Assembling more components of a home in factories and transporting them to the construction site is one way for builders to raise productivity and potentially increase profits.”

The Last Word...

SYP Grades Component Manufacturers are Buying

Joe Kannapell - Senior VP MiTek Industries, Inc. www.mii.com

hat better way to assess buying trends than to recap the lumber specified on truss designs?

The following charts illustrate the material derived from 80,000 truss drawings totaling 12.8 Million Board Feet of wood. Not surprisingly, more than half the total volume is consumed by visually graded #2 and #3 Southern Pine. But the second chart shows the emergence of machine graded lumbers (53% of the higher grades), and the diminishment of 2x4 #1 Dense (less than 2% of the higher grades). As was illustrated in last month’s article, Select Structural has 50% higher values than #1 Dense in both bending and tension values, rendering it far superior on both top and bottom chords.
