A MESSAGE FROM 2022 PRESIDENT ANDREW GUTMAN

T

he first half of 2022 has been a busy one for CRBRA. Kristen, DeeDee, and the Board of Directors have been hard at work to support our members and our industry. We have brought back many of our popular events, including the annual Parade of Homes after a two-year hiatus. The awards celebration at The Hangar at 743 that capped it off was the most talked about event of the year for CRBRA! One of the biggest highlights of the first half of the year came in Workforce Development.

CRBRA became involved in a coalition of Capital Region trade and industry organizations focused on the same goal of overcoming the challenges of workforce shortages in the construction industry. Our Vice President, Nick Otterbeck, has led our growing Workforce Development Committee in lending much needed hands to this coalition. We are connecting directly with BOCES programs, students, school administrators, and most recently New York State legislators. For more details on our activities, see Kristen’s write up on page 15.

industry

organizations

focused on the same goal of overcoming the challenges of workforce shortages in the construction industry.

In addition to working with our New York State representatives on our workforce development initiatives, we have been diligently advocating for our industry on many other legislative matters. In April, NYSBA had lobby meetings with several leaders in both the NYS Assembly and Senate with a major focus on the aggressive push for building electrification. Locally, several of our board members had a very productive meeting with Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner in May. We expressed our understanding of the need to reduce our carbon footprint, but the pace for implementation needs to be slowed down drastically as it is just not feasible for builder and remodelers, nor affordable and cost effective for homeowners and residents. Many of these matters were put on hold until futures sessions. So our efforts to slow down the pace of building electrification will continue.

Lastly, in the first half of the year we saw a strong revamping of the Membership Committee, led by returning Chair and 2019 President Ken Sherman. Ken’s energy has brought renewed excitement to this committee, and we have some major initiatives planned for the second half of the year. We will be looking for help from all our members to make these initiatives successful and increase our member count, because a thriving membership will only make us stronger!

FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S DESK KRISTEN EGELSTON

I

’m sure you’ll all agree - this year is flying by! It feels like not too long ago we were at the Installation Dinner and already summer is winding down. This year has been extremely productive at CRBRA. Our committees are back for in-person meetings, we’ve had one to two events each month, we’re forging productive relationships with local legislators and groups we share common interests with, and so much more. We hosted our first of two clay shoots and golf tournaments in the spring, both with a great mix of people. Most exciting of all, we brought back the Parade of Homes after a two-year COVID-induced hiatus and it was a huge success!

We couldn’t have done it without the participating builders, generous sponsors and hard-working committee, THANK YOU ALL! Flip to page 9 to read more about how it all came together.

Looking ahead, we’re so excited to be celebrating the 10th annual Best in Building Awards in November. This year’s event will be held on Thursday, November 3, at the beautiful Canfield Casino in Saratoga. WNYT’s Chris Onorato is returning as our Master of Ceremonies and we’ll have live music from the Mellissa Sgambelluri Trio! It’s going to be an incredible night so be sure to mark your calendar and plan on attending. Registration will open in late September.

The entry period for Best in Building began on August 1 and remains open until September 23. The earlier you submit, the more you save. We have nearly 60 awards available this year across seven categories: Builder, Remodeler, Associate, Design, Outdoor Living, Associate Marketing and Builder/Remodeler Marketing. From kitchens, baths and special use spaces to floor plans, curb appeal and use of social media, there really are awards suited for every CRBRA member. Based on what we saw at the Parade and on social media, we added two new design awards this year: Best Living Room/Great Room and Best Kids Room. The more work of yours that we can recognize, the better! If you haven’t already looked at the list of awards, I strongly encourage you to do so! Entries are all submitted online and will be judged by out-of-market judges who won’t see any identifying information. Visit the Best in Building website, bestinbuilding.com/secure-platform, to get your entries started today! If you have questions, please don’t heistate to reach out to me or DeeDee. The Parade of Homes Committee had a record-breaking year for sponsorship and our Best in Building Committee is competitive and wants to do the same! We have a range of sponsorship opportunities available (see page 4) and would greatly appreciate your support. You’ll get great exposure leading up to the Awards Night and recognition at the event, which is typically attended by more than 200 members including prominent builders and remodeler members.

And really, why wouldn’t you want to be associated with the best in building?!

Finally, I’d like to switch gears to membership and request your help. Our revamped Membership Committee is hard at work on recruiting and retaining members, but we can’t do it alone. We all know there’s strength in numbers and we need your help to grow CRBRA’s membership. Based on what we saw during the last legislative session, now more than ever, we need a strong, united voice to combat the many harmful initiatives proposed in Albany. Please take a look at your vendor and/or customer lists and identify companies that don’t belong to CRBRA, but should. Tell them why you’re a member and how much value is put behind members working with other members. If every company identified just one new member, we would double our membership, expand our reach and provide even more value for our existing members. DeeDee and I are happy to help you recruit if you point us in the right direction! I really hope we’ll hear from you with a potential new member soon. As a token of our appreciation, when your recruit joins, we’ll reward you with a gift card and entry into a drawing for a prize valued at $250. Thanks in advance!

Warmly,

THE RETURN OF THE CAPITAL REGION PARADE OF HOMES BY: KRISTEN EGELSTON

B

efore the pandemic, a staple on CRBRA’s calendar of events was the Capital Region Parade of Homes.

For 19 years, the highly-anticipated public event drew thousands of consumers to tour new construction homes, showcasing the work of the area’s top builders. From models and spec homes to custom, private residences, the Parade of Homes served as the area’s premier self-guided new home construction tour. It also enabled CRBRA to make a sizable donation to a local charity each year.

When COVID-19 forced CRBRA to cancel the event in 2020 and 2021, it left a hole in the association’s offering to builder members and the public. Fortunately, CRBRA quickly pivoted creating the Capital Region Homes on Demand TV program to fill the void – temporarily; with the vision of having both the Parade of Homes and Homes on Demand in future years.

In a typical year, the Parade of Homes Committee would start recruiting builders in the October prior to the June event. Among the Board of Directors, staff and builder members, there was ongoing discussion throughout the two-year hiatus about when it would be safe and practical to resume.

9 RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AROUND THE CAPITAL REGION

Erik Kohler, founder of Erik Kohler Homes, was a strong proponent for bringing the Parade of Homes back for 2022, saying “I had a great experience participating in the Parade for the first time in 2019 and wanted to have that opportunity again with my new community in North Greenbush.” He continued, “When I decided to sell the model, I went so far as to push the closing date to mid-June so that this home that we had worked so hard on could be in the Parade.”

With the ongoing pandemic, supply chain issues and a hot real estate market, longtime Parade of Homes Chairperson Jim Carpenter knew this was anything but a typical year. “We didn’t know if we would even attempt to pull this off until January 2022 – at that point we concluded there were a solid number of interested builders and homes so we committed to moving forward with the Parade no matter what,” said Carpenter.

With the decision made to move forward, the Capital Region Parade of Homes was scheduled for the first two weekends in June, 4-5 and 11-12. Working on a condensed planning schedule, the committee quickly confirmed eight builders and nine homes ranging from Bethlehem to Saratoga Springs. “When we plotted the home locations, we realized it created the ability to showcase what our members were doing in the entire region,” said Carpenter.

Once the builders were confirmed, the committee and staff moved on to securing sponsors. Thanks to the generosity and tremendous support from CRBRA member companies, the Parade shattered the previous sponsorship fundraising record set in 2019 pulling in 44 sponsors. “It really is remarkable how many of our members stepped up to support the event and were excited to see it coming back,” said 2022 President Andrew Gutman. “I think people viewed it as a much-needed return to some sense of normalcy after an unpredictable two years.”

Parade of Homes Committee members at Awards Night

Lindsey Belmonte shared that although Belmonte Builders wouldn’t have a home ready and available to enter, the company recognized the importance of the Parade’s return and signed on as a Gold Sponsor.

“Usually our company is among the first to register a home in the Parade so when we knew that wasn’t going to be possible, we looked to the sponsorship opportunities to offer our support of the Parade, our fellow builders and the association,” said Belmonte.

The return of the Parade also provided the perfect opportunity to refresh the brand introducing a new logo as well as a new visual-forward website and consumer-friendly app. With the app, consumers could buy and show their e-ticket, access home details and descriptions, plan their trip with easy turn-by-turn directions and filter homes by search criteria. It also provided quick access to the Parade’s consumer interaction tools including voting for People’s Choice and the Scavenger Hunt.

With the volunteers from the Center for Disability Services (CFDS), the Parade’s charitable partner, welcoming visitors at the doors, the Parade commenced with a buzz of excitement among the builders, volunteers and consumers. Ticket sales were strong and attendees were out and about to

explore and admire the new floorplans, construction methods and design finishes. Many builders shared that they recognized Parade-goers from previous years who were so happy to be touring homes again.

In addition to the seven veteran Parade participants was first-time participant Hoogkamp Home Builders. Owner Pat Hoogkamp said, “We’re a smaller company and don’t generally do much marketing. We had no idea what to expect, but figured what do we have to lose?” Entering a custom, owner-occupied home, Hoogkamp found himself happy he did. “I had conversations with several visitors that I feel will turn into future customers, people I never would have met had I not entered our home in the Parade.” Other builders echoed Hoogkamp’s sentiments ending the two weekends with promising leads.

Prior to the Parade, the homes were categorized by pricepoint and judged by local industry experts for their architecture, craftsmanship, kitchen design and more.

Following tradition, the week following the last Parade weekend culminated in the Parade Awards Celebration. Nearly 150 members and guests gathered at The Hangar at 743 in Albany to celebrate the success of the event, the generosity of the many sponsors, and of course, the winning homes.

The venue was incredible and set the scene for a memorable night with returning emcee Jim Carpenter. During his remarks, Carpenter recognized that more important than tickets sold or any award won, is that the Parade of Homes was able to raise $15,000 to donate to the Center for Disability Services’ MOVE equipment program. MOVE equipment helps children who struggle with mobility to participate in home, school, work and community environments more fully. CFDS representative Anne Costigan shared the following message: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all involved with the Parade for your belief in The Center’s mission, the individuals we support and their families. Congratulations to all the award winners, but know that everyone involved with the Parade is a winner, especially the Center and we are forever grateful!”

Congratulations to all the builders on completing and showing off your homes during what can only be called an atypical year. Thank you to our committee of volunteers for your hard work and commitment to making the Parade of Homes a success. Last, but not least, endless thanks to our sponsors for your unwavering Kassidy from CFDS’ Langan School support. demonstrates using MOVE equipment So, who’s in for next year?

ADDRESSING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN THE CAPITAL REGION

Photo courtesy of iStockphoto

BY: KRISTEN EGELSTON

T

he labor shortage is one of the largest challenges facing the residential construction industry nationwide. According to an NAHB study conducted in late 2021, 85 percent of builders reported that the availability and cost of workers was one of the biggest challenges they expected to face in 2022.

The Capital Region is no different. Workforce development has been a long-standing concern with no clear path to a solution. Over the years, CRBRA members have participated in career fairs and visited local shop classes to talk about careers in construction. The association has awarded scholarships to students pursuing a two- or fouryear degree related to residential construction in conjunction with the New York State Builders Association Research & Education Foundation. While

positive, these efforts were doing little to move the needle or battle the stigma parents and educators associated with the trades.

President Andrew Gutman brought a renewed interest and drive making workforce development one of his presidential priorities for 2022. The first step - reviving the Workforce Development Committee and appointing Vice President Nick Otterbeck as Chairperson.

In early February, Doug Ford, Vice President of Sales & Purchasing at Curtis Lumber, invited CRBRA to get involved in the efforts Curtis Lumber had been spearheading for a few years already with their Workforce Development Task Force. The timing couldn’t have been better and presented the opportunity to collaborate on our common goal.

15 RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AROUND THE CAPITAL REGION

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COALITION Originally focused in Saratoga County, Ford and Executive Assistant Pam Stott had cultivated a diverse group of stakeholders to partcipate in what’s come to be known as the Workforce Development Coalition. Forging relationships with local high schools, skills training educators, like-minded trade and lobbying groups, builders and suppliers, the Coalition has expanded to encompass stakeholders from across the Capital Region. Within the Coalition, there are five sub-committees to focus on the various facets of workforce development (detailed below). The sub-committees meet periodically and the Coalition as a whole has a Zoom meeting the first Thursday of each month. Rather than duplicate efforts, President Gutman suggested CRBRA’s workforce development committee members join the Coalition’s sub-committees to contribute to the efforts being undertaken.

JOIN THE EFFORT To be added to CRBRA’s Workforce Development Committee and the Capital Region Workforce Development Coalition, email kristen@crbra.com.

CRBRA & SBA JOINT MIXER Recognizing the common interest, CRBRA partnered with the Saratoga Builders Association (SBA) to hold a joint mixer on Wednesday, May 11, at Prime at Saratoga National. The event drew more than 170 attendees to hear from speakers Senator Daphne Jordan and Assemblymember Carrie Woerner and learn about the Coalition’s workforce development efforts, including:

•

•

Expertise Project - Mike Baron, Professor at Hudson Valley Community College, discussed the effectiveness of the short videos shot by students on job sites. The videos introduce different industries and the professionals that work there, and show how to get the training and skills right in their school and local community.

Legislative & Lobbying - Todd Vandervort, President & CEO of The Vandervort Group, reported on a bill that the sub-committee was instrumental in getting introduced to the Senate and Assembly. The goal of the bill is to update aid to match the state’s educational priorities for STEM education as it relates to salaries of teachers employed by boards of cooperative educational services.

Audience at the CRBRA & SBA Joint Mixer

•

Trades in Schools - Patti Morris, Superintendent of Stillwater Central Schools, discussed strides being made to reach parents and students about the opportunities available. The sub-committee is planning a “Future You Fair” for students in the fall, which will be promoted to all the area schools.

•

Marketing & Parade of Homes - Jim Carpenter, Director of Marketing at Curtis Lumber, shared the intent to reach parents attending the Parade of Homes about the benefits of a career in the trades. The marketing/social media sub-committee established and oversees the messaging for the Coalition to ensure consistency.

Keynote speaker: Assemblymember Carrier Woerner

An honored guest, Senator Daphne Jordan gave remarks expressing her understanding of the important role residential construction plays in the economy and how vital it is to have a workforce to sustain it. Keynote Speaker Assemblymember Carrie Woerner (113th District) also shared her passion for workforce development and improving the business climate for small businesses. In 2021, she was named Chair of the Legislative Commission on Skills Development and Career Education. In addition to workforce development, Woerner discussed housing

affordability and attainability. CRBRA leadership is planning future meetings with Woerner to discuss these and other important legislative initiatives.

LEGISLATIVE BREAKFAST On June 28, CRBRA co-sponsored a workforce development breakfast with the Northern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters and Saratoga Builders Association. Members from all three sponsoring organizations attended along with local high school and college educators, related organizations such as Northern Retail Lumber Association and Associated General Contractors, as well as a number of local legislators. The local legislators participated in a panel discussion where it was clear they all understand the importance of encouraging students to enter the skilled trades.

For CRBRA leadership, there were two important takeaways: 1) Students need to be introduced to the skilled trades as early as second grade, as opposed to waiting until they’re in middle or high school; and 2) School boards are an underutilized stakeholder and should be a part of the strategy for furthering efforts to introduce the skilled trades to students. This event highlighted the necessity for ongoing discussion and collaboration by all of the issue’s stakeholders.

2022 WILLIAM MOREHOUSE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT The joint mixer offered CRBRA the special opportunity to honor and recognize the 2022 receipient of the William Morehouse Scholarship. Awarded in partnership with NYSBA’s Research & Education Foundation (REF), the purpose is to assist students in their pursuit of a career in residential construction and to provide employers in New York State with a strong, industryqualified workforce. This year’s recipient, Paige Womble, is the valedictorian for Stillwater High School’s Class of 2022. In the fall, Womble will be attending Wentworth Institute of Technology, as a student in their five-year architecture program. Best of luck, Paige!
