REPORT FROM THE CONSTRUCTION EXCHANGE OF BUFFALO AND WESTERN NEW YORK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, JOE BENEDICT

I

always look forward to the opportunity to report on new programming put into action by the Construction Exchange board and staff. We are continually working to find innovative ways to improve the industry and support our members.

One of those new offerings this year is a group retirement plan that Construc-

tion Exchange members can provide to their employees. Because this is set up

as a group plan, small- and medium-sized businesses have access to the same costeffective plans larger companies have with minimized fiduciary liability. This program is a partnership with Alesco Advisors, The Burke Group and the Building Industry EmJOE BENEDICT

ployers of New York. It was important for this program to be available so members would have a benefit to help with employee retention and it also will aid compliance with a New York law requiring all employers with 10 or more employees to offer a retirement plan.

Another new benefit is our Family Day at the Races. Relationship building is critical in our industry and this unique event allows members to do that while including their families in the fun. This September event is held at the Lancaster Speedway for their Big Truck Night, where all kinds of dump trucks, cement mixer trucks, pickup trucks, tractor trailers, and others will compete for glory on the drag racing strip. This event has plenty of construction-themed activities for the kids and the whole family.

We have also just upgraded our plan room equipment and now can print full-size plans in color. This new plotter can also print on adhesive paper that is used on poster boards and to create incredible murals for your home or office.

By the time this magazine is out we will have also implemented our new association management software, Growthzone. This will make it easier for members to register for events and take advantage of Construction Exchange services, while enabling our staff to better serve your needs.

But our biggest news is happening in 2024. That is when a truly groundbreaking benefit will become available – coworking space for the construction industry. Through a partnership with The Plan Room, the Construction Exchange will be operating a coworking space that will feature offices, storage space, fabrication space, training areas, shared amenities, and more, all designed for our local construction companies. If you are looking for office and storage space with month-to-month flexibility, at just the size you need at a cost you can afford, as well as close to downtown, The Plan Room coworking space is for you. Contact our membership director, AmyRae Nessa, at 716874-3435 if you’re interested in learning more.

The board and staff of the Construction Exchange are excited to offer these new programs to help our members grow. Thank you to our members for their support and for giving us the opportunity to provide these services to the WNY construction industry.

None of this would be possible without our members! F

necting them and being the conduit with which the information can flow. One mission.

On September 11, 2023, NAWIC National celebrated a half century of service to women in the industry. A milestone that no doubt the 16 women that started this organization originally in Fort Worth, TX could never fathom would ever come to fruition. But as Susan B. Anthony once said “Whenever women gather together, failure is impossible…”. Over these 50 years, the NAWIC has grown to over 118 chapters nationwide, with over 6,000 members and counting. Our members, sponsors and supporters have helped us to raise millions in donations for scholarships for women to attend colleges, trade schools and to help pay union dues, putting them to work immediately.

“Many Paths, One Mission,” the vision statement of our outgoing national president, Lauline Mitchell, is a brilliant sentiment that we in the Buffalo Niagara chapter will continue to echo. We know the community shares that spirit because you have supported our chapter in such a strong way. Our Buffalo Niagara Chapter is over 80 members strong since we chartered in January of 2021. We have donated six separate scholarships totaling over $10,000 to date, performed sev-

So, with that, we want to hear from you about what it is that you expect or want to get out of your membership. We do intermittent polls to our membership to check in and hear from them about what programming they want next, and we do our best to make that happen. Our board of directors is easily accessible through the website, even though you likely know each of them from a shared jobsite as well, and you can reach out to any one of us through the website to set up a time to talk about what you need from the NAWIC. We are here to support women in construction as a whole and on an individual level.

Furtney decided to come to Buffalo after hearing about the AKG expansion on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). He serves as a snapshot of how the expanded and renovated gallery is becoming the centerpiece of an international marketing campaign, spearheaded by Visit Buffalo Niagara, to attract more visitors to the region.

In addition, they used a remote-control stair climber that could hold up to 1,000 pounds.

Matt Cotton, project manager at Danforth, also emphasized the access issues that needed to be tackled before work could begin upstairs.

Dan Hart, president and executive director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and director of Kleinhans Music Hall, Inc., said the work was pretty impressive. “[The units] appear to be mobile home-like,” he said, describing their size. “I would look up the staircase and think, ‘How are they doing this?’”

By mid-August, Danforth was able to start up the first of the two air units without incident. The second unit followed shortly after.

With the completion of the units comes the real test—literally. Because of the nature of the building, several sound tests have to be conducted to ensure the air units don’t disrupt the auditorium’s acoustics.

“It has to be absolutely silent,” Peters said, noting that while things have to be perfect, he wasn’t losing sleep before the testing. “The design was really good. Our vendor and manufacturer worked really well to make this come together.”

While the results of the sound test weren’t available by press time, Hart said all units were up and operating.

Since this is an updated system controlled by a wired building management system, that means that unlike the previous pneumatic valve system, temperatures and airflow are monitored and adjusted as needed, when needed.

“I always thought there was a better use [for it],” Wopperer said.

The apartments – a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units – fill a growing need for those types of residential options, said Joseph Emminger, Town of Tonawanda supervisor.

Wopperer said he expects the loftstyle apartments to be move-in ready by late summer or early fall 2024.

Amenities include a fitness center, on-site parking, extra storage space, bicycle storage and a pet washing station. Also planned is an indoor golf simulator, a speakeasy-themed bar and a mini-market. The apartments will offer panoramic, almost postcard-like views of the Buffalo skyline, the Niagara River and portions of the northern suburbs.

said. “Some of the areas had multiple layers of carpet and other things on top of it, so when we took everything up, you almost felt like you were in the classroom again.”

As to be expected in a project like this, though, not everything was salvageable, nor was there consistent flooring throughout once the new layout was set.

“It was tricky since there were a lot of places where the walls were removed.

So, instead of trying to recreate the hardwood [where it didn’t previously exist], we did a different species of The entry corridor has been completely restored using materials from the original building.

wood to memorialize the original floorplan,” he said.

This “purposeful patch job” was a unique way to add a bit more character to the building. Instead of splicing new maple in to make it fit, the plan was to have a stark contrast between old and new flooring.

Another major undertaking by Hensley and his team was relaying the school’s gymnasium floor. He said that the old gym was about five to six steps down. They removed the flooring and stored it for about nine months while the area was packed with fill. Once that was complete, Fairway returned to reinstall the original gym floor.

Although it’s still early to see a return on investment, Panepinto, who owns a number of commercial buildings in the area, says that he would look into doing solar on their other properties as well. He adds that Montante has been a good partner and has been educational in terms of explaining solar energy and the benefits, as well as working them through the process.

The push is something that has happened almost organically and largely through word-of-mouth from franchise operators, said Christopher Picone,

“Putting cookies and ice cream together is a no brainer,” Picone said.

Picone Construction has also added Pizza Hut to its build-out portfolio by working on five Erie County locations for the venerable national chain. Most of the retail/restaurant sites average about 1,400 square feet, with Pizza Hut and Crumbl Cookie sites designed strictly for walk-in customers. Tropical Smoothie sites also allow for some instore seating.

Most of the locations are in strip plazas or outparcel sites to larger shopping centers.

For Picone Construction that means sometimes working in tight quarters and Picone said the company relishes that challenge.

“It really shows what we can do,” Picone said. “We love the challenge.”

Developing national and regional chain retail and restaurant locations is one of the many construction sweet spots that Picone has handled since the company was founded in 1931.

Picone is finishing up renovations and upgrades for the Williamsville Central School District, the Jamestown Central School District, as well as work at Kenmore Mercy Hospital and Sisters of Charity Hospital.

“Every job is important,” Picone said, adding that it is just a matter of timing that the company is working on a myriad of franchised locations. “We

An interactive project WNY Engineering and Construction LLC adds two-story addition to residential property

A

two-story house in Buffalo recently added an addition to the backside of the property.

and Construction LLC, a general contractor based in Buffalo, worked on a 900-square-foot expansion on a residential home in the Delaware area of the city. The project included an office space and family room on the first floor, and an apartment with a new bathroom on the second floor of the property, both of which were added to the back of the house.

The home owners, who were knowledgeable in construction, found WNY Engineering and Construction through WNY Engineering and Construction LLC, a general contractor based in Buffalo, worked on a 900-square-foot expansion on a residential home in the Delaware area of the city.

Angi, formerly known as Angie’s List, which is an American home services site that allows users to search for contractors to provide paid home improvement work.

“I have my name on a few networks and this was on [Angi]. I called the customer and we met a couple times and then started working together. They picked me from other contractors,” says Jose Vergara, CEO of WNY Engineering and Construction. “[The home owners] were already knowledgeable about construction. They did a couple projects before and they knew a lot of things. They put all the materials in place and we did just the labor for framing and concrete footing, including the concrete.”

Budgeted at $32,000, WNY Engineering and Construction provided just the labor for the project since the customer supplied all the materials, except for the concrete.
