inspire The industry is changing and the General Building Contractors Association has been inspired to change along with it. The challenge is unprecedented, but with a Blueprint for ACTION we will build a better future for our stakeholders.

GBCA is pursuing new strategies to support member companies and promote an external climate to help the industry grow and prosper. In the coming year we pledge to provide even more value in return for your membership dues investment, including enhanced programs and services. The decisions and actions of the association will attempt to transform challenges into opportunities, and opportunities into rewards.

GBCA 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

1

Letter from the Executive Managing Director I am pleased to present to you the General Building Contractors Association 2012 Annual Report. Aptly titled “Blueprint for ACTION,” this publication reviews the association’s progress, highlights accomplishments and sets the stage for an even more impactful year ahead.

The world is in transition and so is the commercial building and construction industry, which has endured an unprecedented downturn not seen since the Great Depression. Companies everywhere are grappling with business and operational issues most have never before experienced. Some have labeled the current economic climate the ‘new normal,’ but as most people will attest there is nothing normal about it. Executives across the region and throughout the country have been forced to re-evaluate their business models, and in some instances they are making wholesale changes to adapt to the realities of today’s marketplace.

The trade association world is no different. As the construction industry goes so goes GBCA, and it should come as no surprise that during the past year your association has implemented a number of substantive changes –– me among them –– and this is just the beginning of what is yet to come. GBCA recently initiated an in-depth self-assessment of organizational strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to evaluate whether we have the institutional resources and capacity to adequately support member companies. In the process we learned a lot about ourselves, where we need to improve, and what needs to be done to ensure GBCA is a world-class organization. But our mission remains the same; to promote the industry, the interests of member companies, and help foster an external environment that enables the industry and our member companies to grow and prosper, in good times and in bad.

“Blueprint for ACTION” is a moniker befitting an industry and association in the midst of change, but it also speaks to the direction both are headed. During the next 12 months GBCA will launch new initiates and pursue unprecedented courses of action that will lead to successful outcomes for years to come. It also signals the ushering-in of a new culture where ‘thinking outside the box’ is standard operating procedure, creativity is encouraged, new ideas are welcomed and innovation rewarded.

This outlook and renewed sense of optimism will be readily evident to everyone who interacts with GBCA during the coming year, and it inspires those within the organization to challenge the status quo, transform the association, promote the industry and deliver more value than ever to our stakeholders. The staff and I look forward to embarking on this journey with you, reaching new and greater heights together.

Blueprint for ACTION

Steven S. Lakin Executive Managing Director

“ GBCA is an outstanding resource that helps our company to navigate the commercial and industrial construction environments. The association provides information about developing markets, best practices, new technologies, industry trends and other valuable intelligence that supports our business objectives. And they work with member companies to ensure we maintain the highest safety, professional and legal standards in the industry. GBCA is an asset to our organization and we intend to stay actively involved for many years to come.” — GEORGE S. YOUNG, GEORGE YOUNG COMPANY GBCA 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

challenge GBCA is challenging the status quo. The association has a long-storied history of leading the way and we are poised once again to meet challenges head-on. The difficult business climate of the past several years is an opportunity to learn and respond in new and different ways. Our experiences have taught us that what worked in the past may not in the future.

In 2012 the Board of Directors conducted a comprehensive strategic review of the association. Moving forward we are keeping careful watch over the competitive environment, making certain the association is positioned to adequately address the needs and preferences of our members. In addition, we are examining the various forces that both inhibit and drive growth, and evaluating the effects of these influences on the industry to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.

Blueprint for ACTION

Transform GBCA is actively working to transform the association and industry. We’ve begun by assessing the organization’s standards and practices, looking at operations with a fresh perspective and focusing on opportunities that hold the greatest promise to yield results. GBCA is more than just a trade association; we are in the solutions business, committed to delivering value to our members where and when it matters most.

GBCA’s Blueprint for ACTION inspires…

Innovation — focusing on the delivery of services and products to members.

Responsiveness — providing superior customer service to ensure an excellent member experience.

Inclusion — encouraging individuals and organizations from different backgrounds to participate, share their unique perspectives and incorporate new ideas into plans of action.

Promote GBCA promotes the commercial building construction industry and the value of working with our stakeholders. The association conducts forums, seminars and meetings to advance economic and infrastructure investment, job creation, education, training, advocacy and professional exchange. We engage architects, engineers, designers, real estate managers, developers, and owners and communicate our messages to elected officials, trade associations, special interest groups, the media, and public.

Deliver GBCA is working to deliver creative ideas that yield valuable outcomes. We want to provide value beyond expectations — helping members to solve problems, operate efficiently and effectively with the goal of helping grow their businesses.

Who We Are GBCA is a regional construction industry trade association. Our members include more than 350 commercial general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and service firms primarily located in Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware, and Chester Counties.

We are also a chartered chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. AGC is a national trade association that focuses on safety, technology, education, training, and advocacy for the construction industry. GBCA members are automatically enrolled in AGC, which provides even more opportunities on a national scale.

The Association is governed by a 32-member board of directors that includes the executive positions of chairman, first and second vice chairman, treasurer, and executive managing director.

One of the factors contributing to the long-term success of GBCA is a strong and active committee system, and all association initiatives are referred to the appropriate committee. Participation in committees is not compulsory.

Education Committee helps to establish the program agenda and course curricula available to eligible GBCA member employees, and works to facilitate professional development opportunities and student involvement.

Blueprint for ACTION

Forward Thinking GBCA forges relationships to help stakeholders and industry peers ensure projects are built competitively with the most skilled, highly-educated and best-trained workforce.

Labor GBCA maintains collaborative relationships with general presidents and business managers of the various building trades, other trade associations and negotiating teams to discuss critical issues to maintain productive relationships and facilitate business opportunities. We also administer 6 trade agreements in counties across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING GBCA is at the epicenter of labor negotiations. The Labor Policy Committee manages up to 6 contractor-based negotiating teams that are responsible for leading negotiations with our affiliated trades: Carpenters, Laborers, Cement Masons, Operating Engineers, Rodsetters and Drywall Finishers. GBCA provides guidance and opinions throughout the year tapping into the extensive knowledge base contained within the Labor Policy Committee and through its expansive network of labor policy experts.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION GBCA actively works to resolve labor issues. Through GBCA’s Labor Policy Committee, members meet with representatives of the trades to address critical industry matters such as competitive solutions and worker eligibility programs. When necessary, the Labor Policy Committee meets to discuss jurisdictional disputes and develop solutions that support and reinforce the right to award work to the most economic and efficient contractor.

DATA TRACKING GBCA tracks industry man-hours across trades and monitors national and regional labor developments. In addition, GBCA maintains an industry-wide wage and benefit database. This information is a valuable resource to all of our industry stakeholders.

IAP & FINANCIAL GUARANTEE ADMINISTRATION GBCA provides administrative oversight for the association’s Industry Advancement Program (IAP) and its financial guarantee for payment of fringe benefit funds. The IAP is administered solely by GBCA and used specifically for the advancement of the local construction industry.

The IAP is established within most collective bargaining agreements and it mandates that an employer contribution shall be paid for each employee working under that agreement. The IAP provides the resources which enable GBCA to carry out much-needed industry-wide programs that benefit the construction industry and GBCA members.

IAP-funded activities benefit many segments of the construction industry, and the public sector has also benefited from GBCA’s involvement in labor and industry relations, safety, education, apprentice training, advocacy, market development and research.

Delivering Value GBCA is committed to providing members with an extensive menu of education and training programs. Education is as important as any tool on a job site. Constant education and training increases knowledge, productivity and workplace safety, all which help GBCA member companies to stay competitive. Smart building is good building, and good building is good for all.

“ For me, the most beneficial aspect of GBCA has been the interactions I’ve had with other young professionals through my participation on the Young Constructors Committee. YCC meetings and informal social events (hard-hat tours, site visits, etc.) have given me opportunities to develop relationships with industry up-and-comers working at companies throughout the region. GBCA has helped me gain a greater understanding of industry challenges and I’ve learned a lot about the business that I wouldn’t have otherwise.” — RICK ELLIS, M&T BANK

Education Since the early 1960’s thousands of member employees have taken advantage of GBCA education programs to transform themselves, their employers and customers. Courses have been tailored to suit individuals from the newest estimator to the most seasoned project manager. GBCA classes are available for a nominal fee, or on occasion at no cost to eligible employees of member companies.

GBCA sponsors programs at many local universities and colleges. Coursework is available on topics such as pre-construction management, building materials and systems, building codes, estimating and scheduling, and Building Information Modeling (BIM).

SUPERVISORY TRAINING PROGRAM (STP) GBCA is proud to sponsor the Supervisory Training Program. This program is geared towards field personnel who want to become supervisors or superintendents. Upon completion of the required classes students receive certificates from Associated General Contractors of America and GBCA.

APPRENTICE TRAINING GBCA is heavily invested in apprentice training. We believe the apprenticeship system leads to a highly-skilled workforce that promotes safe, quality work delivered on-budget and on-schedule, which owners value. GBCA members and Industry Advancement Program contributors are involved in the administration, financing and running of various apprenticeship programs throughout the region.

HIGH SCHOOL OUTREACH To fulfill the objective of inspiring promising young men and women to pursue careers in construction, GBCA conducts an extensive program with the area high schools, including the Charter High School for Architecture + Design (CHAD) and Mercy Vocational High School (MVHS).

ACE MENTOR PROGRAM ACE Mentor Program of Eastern Pennsylvania gives local high school students an opportunity to learn more about careers in architecture, engineering and construction. Under the mentorship of experienced professionals from leading industry firms, students work in teams to pursue a range of informative activities including field trips to active construction sites, discussions with project managers, tours of professional offices and more. In addition, each team works on a project that addresses real-life situations and issues. Students can also obtain scholarships through the ACE Program to attend college.

DREXEL UNIVERSITY CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE GBCA has a seat on the Drexel University Construction Management Advisory Committee, one of the leading bodies of its kind. One of the most important aspects of the committee’s work is that it keeps the Drexel Construction Management Program up-to-date on issues that affect the industry and promotes the hiring of construction management graduates. It also acts as an advisor to the university regarding what employers are looking for when hiring construction management undergraduates.

SEMINARS & FORUMS GBCA remains committed to keeping our members up-to-date on the latest trends and opportunities in the industry.

Seminars and forums are offered on subjects such as business opportunities, education, legal issues, and technical matters.

Blueprint for ACTION

promote Advocacy GBCA is your direct connection to government officials and policy-makers. Legislation that affects regional business is a top concern and the association is ever-ready to serve as an advocate for the entire membership. We continually monitor, initiate, and influence legislation on the local, state and national levels. GBCA is a strong voice for contractors throughout the region and viewed by many as a resource on matters relating to commercial, industrial and institutional construction issues.

Our influence at the local, state and national levels of government is your influence.

LOCAL We take the lead on behalf of our members on a variety of construction-related issues. On the local level, we develop and maintain working relationships with the Philadelphia City Council, mayor and various city agencies. GBCA also attends regular City Council sessions, committee hearings, announcements, and special events.

advocate STATE

GBCA participates in state activities through the General Contractors Association of Pennsylvania (GCAP) together with industry associations from central and western Pennsylvania. Founded in the early 1960’s, GCAP is dedicated to providing a united voice for construction employers and creates opportunities for members to interact with legislators throughout Pennsylvania and the region.

For information on GCAP go to www.generalcontractorsofpa.org.

REGIONAL GBCA facilitates on-site meetings with elected officials and political candidates to increase legislators’ knowledge of the construction industry. GBCA raises and distributes money through its Political Action Committee (PAC) in support of legislators and candidates who are receptive to working with contractors and engaging in issues that affect the construction industry.

NATIONAL On the national level GBCA works in concert with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). AGC’s Legislative Action Committee sets policy objectives and serves as a clearinghouse for legislative and regulatory issues, while ensuring AGC members have a role in drafting AGC’s policy agenda. In order to get broad feedback AGC works with its chapters such as GBCA to solve a range of issues that affect the industry.

For information on AGC go to www.agc.org.

Blueprint for ACTION

Safety & Health GBCA is committed to addressing the safety needs of our members and identifying solutions to reduce modification rates, worker compensation premiums and associated operating costs.

All of our activities are focused on fulfilling the main goal of keeping members’ work sites healthy and accident free.

PERFORMANCE Our safety and health strategy includes identifying, creating, establishing and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships, partnerships and alliances. We have relationships with all of the area’s safety organizations and maintain strategic alliances with the Mid-Atlantic Construction Safety Council (MACSC), the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), City of Philadelphia Department of Licenses & Inspections, the OSHA Region III and Philadelphia Area offices.

GBCA is also a member of the national AGC Safety Committee, following discussions and legislation affecting safety in the construction industry. We are one of the few organizations directly advising OSHA on the far-reaching task of determining and establishing the qualifications for an acceptable Third-Party Safety Consultant.

ACTION Whenever possible, GBCA is an active participant in safety policy discussions. We will also continue to provide training on timely safety and health requirements in addition to topics deemed appropriate for modern safety programs.

Communications GBCA actively promotes member companies to the general public and industry partners including architects, engineers, building owners and others with whom contractors work.

A favorable company image has industry-wide implications, and this image is enhanced through the unified efforts of companies within the association.
