Hello BIA Members! Pat has asked me to be a “special guest author” this month to give you some insight on the work that I do every day here at the BIA. As the Director of Public Affairs and Public Policy, I spend every day executing our advocacy agenda on a variety of issues on your behalf. I’m also responsible for making sure that our elected leaders and key department officials in our 7-county jurisdiction know who we are and are aware of our legislative and regulatory priorities. Maintaining these bipartisan relationships with our City Council members, Metro Government officials, State and Federal Legislators, the Governor’s staff, and others is a crucial part of my job. On any given day, I’m tackling about 20 different advocacy issues that are facing our industry. Needless to say, I’m good at multi-tasking! As you may have heard, Mayor Fischer has released Move Louisville, his 20-year transportation plan for Jefferson County. While we supported some of the proposals in Move Louisville, there were others that concerned us. Thus, we submitted a 7-page comment letter to Louisville Forward outlining our industry’s views on Move Louisville, focusing on our belief that economic development and return on investment should be the primary factors used to determine our city’s transportation needs and our support for a strong transit system. I’m also working with Governor Bevin’s Administration to eliminate onerous regulations that harm our industry. One that might be on your radar is the antiquated regulation requiring cast iron piping in tall commercial and multifamily buildings. This outdated policy costs our members hundreds of thousands of dollars per project, hinders development, and puts Kentucky at a competitive disadvantage as all of our surrounding states do not have this needless regulation. Did you know that our industry pays an average of over $1 million annually in “bat fees” to

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? I’ve spearheaded a working group at the BIA to develop a statewide bat conservation bank. This bank would provide preserved forested land to protect endangered bat species by allowing BIA members to receive credit for preserved bat habitat. This could be one of the first bat conservation banks in the country, and we’re excited to be a leader among our fellow HBAs! I work very closely with our local government agencies on a variety of issues, such as promoting improvements to our sewer infrastructure with MSD and providing solutions to combat our tree canopy loss with Louisville Forward. The strong relationships I’ve developed allow us to have an ongoing dialogue in a positive and productive way with our decision makers. Do you have a question about a bill coming before Congress? Do you have an issue with a government agency that you need help solving? Do you want to learn more about your elected officials and get more engaged in the political process? Please give me a call or stop by my office…I’d be happy to help! I spent almost a decade working on Capitol Hill before moving to Louisville with my husband, Greg. I am so happy to be working here at the BIA doing what I love…advocacy! I’ve only been here since October, but I can tell you that time really flies when you’re having lots of fun! I look forward to continuing to work with you and for you! Sincerely,

Remodeling Trends Take the Stage at 31st Annual:

August 13-14, 2016

This month’s Tour of Remodeled Homes showcases some incredible home projects designed to make homeowners’ lives easier and more enjoyable. The 31st annual event lives up to its reputation for highlighting creative solutions that are sure to impress and inspire attendees. Out of the 11 projects on display, more than half of those are whole house remodels, a telling sign that homeowners value functional living spaces that match their lifestyles and they’re willing to make the investment to achieve them. By Stacy Smith Rogers

Unique, Functional, Flexible and Welcoming are Key Themes There are some incredibly creative projects on the Tour that reflect national trends, but each project is unique, which in and of itself is a trend. Unique spaces are “in,” with custom builtins, reclaimed materials and one-of-a-kind cabinetry translating the personalities of homeowners. The homes on display are designed to uniquely serve the needs of the families who live there and the remodeled spaces help them utilize every square inch for a specific purpose. Overall, the homes are more functional, streamlined, well

lit and liveable. Remodelers have worked hard to make things look “simple” in these homes, creating areas that are reflective of homeowners’ personalities. These new spaces invite plenty of natural light and clean, smooth lines to dominate the conversation, all the while communicating an open, welcoming environment. Even the hallways are treated like independent living areas. Redsmith Construction’s project is an excellent example, with wainscotting applied in the hallway, giving it a linear look and making it feel less like a pathway and more like a place to linger. The bathrooms in that home are also outfitted with wainscotting, one that features traditional white wainscotting august 2016 7

and another one that’s accented with a tile wall. Even the laundry room is inviting, with a farmhouse, curtained sink with a pull-out sprayer and a stainless steel countertop. While lovely to look at and sort clothes in, it’s also a great place to give the family dog a quick bath. This project, like many of the others on display demonstrates homeowners’ requests to make the most of the space they have with plenty of extras to multi-task and be comfortable and entertained. Creative Solutions are Sure to Impress Attendees on the tour will appreciate seeing how remodelers creatively met the long list of wants in limited spaces. One example is Steve Sebastian’s master bath, which features a tub fill8 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

er that comes from the ceiling. The solution, Sebastian said, was made out of necessity because there wasn’t a wall thick enough to install a regular tub filler so they ended up going through the ceiling. “We also wall-mounted the toilet and the tank is recessed inside the wall so it’s 10 inches shorter in depth and takes up less room. To save more space, we hung a Europeanstyle sink off the wall and built a custom walnut storage cabinet and sunk that into the wall too,” he explained. Sebastian said they also added floor heat in the bathrooms. In the home’s guest bath, he outfitted the shower with a glass panel instead of a full wall to allow natural light into the bathing space. Work spaces and drop zones near kitchens and back entries are a trend Tour-goers will see this year. Brandon Bailey, Bailey

Tour of Remodeled Homes Remodeling & Construction, said his clients requested an outof-the-way work station where they can manage their house without utilizing too much space. “We turned an awkward walk-in pantry under the stairs into the hidden work space that gives the client an area to run the house without clutter being in their way. The difference between the desk areas that we are doing now and the ones from the 70’s and 80’s is that people aren’t asking for a chair or a lot of space. A small standing workstation that can house a laptop, printer and general office supplies is all they need,” he explained. Kitchens Take Center Stage The quickest way to homeowners’ hearts are through their kitchens. It’s the gathering space of choice for most families, and these Tour homeowners gave their remodelers long menu lists for their kitchen projects. Some of them included dual islands, warming drawers, wine cooler cabinets, marble countertops and prep sinks. Others requested sleek, angled cabinets with no hardware and six-burner commercial grade stoves. Sebastian’s home features a remodeled kitchen with a custom hood and an AGA stove, which includes four different ovens.

“It’s a European-designed range that allows you to cook four different ways. We also added a butcher block counter to the island that the homeowner uses to cut and prep foods on,” he explained. While each of the requests were unique, there were common ingredients running through all the kitchen remodels – high functioning and high quality appliances in spaces where they can easily cook and share their culinary creations with others. Add a dash or two of rustic accents and plenty of storage space and that’s the perfect recipe for a Tour kitchen. This year’s Tour of Remodeled Homes is a great example of how local remodelers are incorporating national trends into their projects and how homeowners are valuing their living spaces. A variety of architectural styles are on display, showcasing the flexibility and range of talent these participating remodelers offer. The Tour of Remodeled Homes is held August 1314, from noon to 6 p.m. Admission is $10 (cash or check only) – children six and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at any of the homes.

Back-to-School Basics for BIA Members By Stacy Smith Rogers

The 2016-17 school year is in full swing! While area children are loading their parents’ shopping carts with No. 2 pencils and loose leaf notebook paper, BIA is promoting its own list of back-to-school basics for its members. The association has long been a trusted resource for affordable and relevant educational classes that keep members up-to-date on the latest construction and building industry issues and techniques. The classes offer an easy way to meet continuing education credits and outfit members with the right tools for responding to changing market demands, staying safe in the workplace, improving their knowledge of materials, managing their businesses and more. Classes range from CPR and first aid training to tips on how to lower insurance costs, improve job site safety and estimate jobs. BIA is a source for many AGC safety training classes, including those addressing asbestos and mold awareness, as well as trenching and excavation, ladder and power tool safety and OSHA record keeping. The Association also offers the EPA Lead Renovator Refresher Training Class and valuable coderelated classes that keep builders and remodelers up-to-date on changes in industry standards. Upcoming Class Schedule Includes Valuable Tips From Experts in the Field There are classes each month during the academic year for BIA members to consider as they work to improve their skills and prepare their businesses to succeed. All of the BIA classes are taught by experienced professionals in the field and each of them offer valuable training designed to help individuals keep up with continuing education credits, while arming them with the skills they need to better serve their customers. Joe Pusateri, Elite Homes, has been working in the field 14 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

for more than four decades. He’s the author of Mastering the Art of Success and has experience building homes for a broad ranges of clients, including two homes that were filmed for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition as well as numerous Homearama homes throughout the years. As an instructor for BIA, he teaches the upcoming Estimating & Business Management for Builders and Remodelers Class on the schedule for September 27. “In four hours, I am going to try and teach everything I have learned in 40 years and do it in a way that is entertaining,” he said. Pusateri’s class focuses on the valuable skill of forecasting construction costs and understanding overhead. Estimating & Business Management for Builders and Remodelers (Instructor: Joe Pusateri, Elite Homes, Inc.) September 27: 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. 4 hours BIA, 4 hours MCR Mark Simpson, Simpson Builders, is an experienced Homearama builder and a gifted communicator. He’s on the schedule in November for leading the Construction Technology & Application class, which is an introduction to basic residential framing techniques and the proper application of common building materials. “We address how to build a house, starting with digging the foundation, through getting the roof on. We talk about various issues, including the code, how to identify poor soil conditions and the proper way to assemble framing. I try to tie everything back to the code standards and offer tips on how to build a home that goes above and beyond

Back-to-School Basics what the code requires. What’s great about this class is that we always have a room full of experienced builders, so it’s a great opportunity for information sharing,” Simpson explained. Construction Technology & Application (Instructor: Mark Simpson, Simpson Builders, Inc.) November 17 : 8:30 am – 12:30 pm 4 hours BIA, 4 hours MCR Rocco Pigneri, Ball Homes, offers a wealth of experience managing impressive work loads in his Project Management class, which is also scheduled in November. He artfully defines the steps builders and superintendents need to follow to successfully build their projects in the most effective and efficient manner, while maintaining the required level of quality. “ We use a network diagramming method as a tool for planning, organizing and implementing a project. I address how to put a project team together and how to have a scope that’s comprehensive so no stakeholders are left out. We use the critical

path method, which is universal enough to apply to homes of all sizes. My goal is for everyone to understand how to apply this tool after they leave the class and use the principles and concepts to improve project management,” Pigneri explained. Project Management (Instructor: Rocco Pigneri, Ball Homes) November 10: 1 pm – 4 pm 3 hours BIA, 3 hours MCR Members can register for classes online, where a full schedule can be found at www.bialouisville.com. The majority of classes are held at the Building Industry Center. All of the courses that are approved for credit through Louisville Metro Inspections, Permits & Licensing Departments are open to non-members as well. For more information, contact Margie Brangers at 429-6000.

BICF Makes a Difference in the Daily Life of 18-Year-Old Girl Bathroom Remodel Gives Erin Clifford a Safer Way to Start Each Day By Stacy Smith Rogers

BIA’s Building Industry Charitable Foundation recently took on a bathroom remodel project that will have an impact on the daily life of 18-year-old Erin Clifford, whose lower leg was amputated last December. Clifford was diagnosed with pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma at the age of 16. Her mother, Leslie Clifford, elaborated on her daughter’s illness, “This is an extremely rare form of cancer that affects approximately 150 people worldwide and less that 10 have it affect their bones, which Erin did. It was a very long road of many tests to get this diagnosis. After 13 months of testing and chemotherapy, Erin had a below-the-knee amputation on December 9.” Clifford said she and her husband never anticipated being faced with such a situation for either one of their children, but is amazed at what her daughter has accomplished through her motivation, her positive outlook and the way she has inspired others. “She graduated high school a year early, has given motivational speeches, and ‘paid it forward’ in many ways. She is the strongest person we know and are proud to say she is our daughter,” she elaborated.

“As parents, it’s comforting to have one less thing to worry about when it comes to her safety. We hope that this program can help as many people as possible because it truly is a blessing for us.” – Leslie Clifford

Despite her incredible outlook on life and her situation, Erin’s living environment presented challenges, and getting in and out of the shower each day was one of them. When the BICF Committee learned of her situation, it was a quick decision to take on the bathroom remodel in an effort to make one aspect of this brave girl’s life a little easier. BICF Chair Brandon Bailey, Bailey Construction & Remodeling, explained, “This project really matched our BICF mission, and for us at Bailey Remodeling, it was a great fit for our mission as well. I personally think that every remodeling project our company

or our colleagues in the industry take on is designed to make people’s lives easier, but this one does it in a way that’s more tangible. Her new bathroom will allow her to function more safely and confidently. When I learned about Erin, I knew this was a perfect project for us to take on.” Bailey, along with his partner Jon Steimel, project manager Peter Hollenbach and the BICF Committee, appealed to vendors, subcontractors and suppliers to make this project a success. Everyone, Bailey said, jumped at the chance to help. The end result was a bathroom remodel valued at $15,000, but only costing the Foundation $2,000 in supplies. “It was really neat to see our subcontractors donate their time and skills for no charge. In just two-and-a-half weeks, our team took a bathtub and converted it to a shower that’s user friendly. Now, Erin has grab bars and a seat and a totally remodeled bathroom. She told me that it was the first comfortable shower she had experienced since her surgery six months ago,” Bailey explained. “The gift of the bathroom remodel has been so amazing and so appreciated,” Erin’s mother said. “Not only is it easier, but it is safer for her to shower. We cannot thank everyone involved in this project enough, especially Bailey Remodeling and Construction and the Charitable Foundation for making her life a little easier. As parents, it’s comforting to have one less thing to worry about when it comes to her safety. We hope that this program can help as many people as possible because it truly is a blessing for us,” Clifford added.

Building Connections Building Connections is a new Louisville Builder column that will showcase the experiences and work of three BIA members and will link each member to another individual involved in the Association. By Nancy Miller

Jeremy Esposito Registered Builder Esposito Construction BIA Vice President

Mark Johnson Associate Member Johnson Architecture and Design Architect

Jeremy Esposito’s first exposure to BIA was through his father who was an active member. “He started bringing me to meetings. Initially, I enjoyed the social aspects but as I got more involved, the more I benefitted from the advocacy part of the organization. I enjoyed making a difference as it pertained to code issues and local government in Oldham County,” says Esposito. As he looks to the future of BIA, he sees increasing and sustaining membership as key goals. Also, he would like to increase the association’s workforce development capabilities, and a concerted effort to develop new, young leaders. “The fun thing about BIA is that the more you put into it, the less you worry about what you get out of it because you see what everyone else gets out of it. Like Churchill said, ‘Work is its own reward.’ Members need to make a two to three year commitment for networking to be successful,” he says.

One of the connections he has made through BIA, and someone he believes has an enthusiasm for growing the organization, is Mark Johnson. “Jeremy Esposito and Billy Doelker, who I had worked with previously, encouraged me to join BIA. Seeing their passion for the industry and their interactions with members has been very encouraging” says Johnson. Participating in the Emerging Professionals Group has been helpful to him as he has learned from the experiences of more established members. “This past year I helped with the He Shed/She Shed competition at Iroquois High School’s trades program. Right now, I’m still getting a feel for the industry and the people, learning where I fit in the whole process of creating and building homes, and what I can do to make the process and the end product better,” says Johnson.

Billy Doelker Registered Builder Key Homes Former BIA President Doelker, owner of Key Homes, joined the association in 2000. “I understood the value of relationships and networking, and how I could benefit from membership. And I have always been a believer in giving back to things that have helped me along the way. Membership was a way for me to give back to the industry that has been my whole life,” says Doelker. He was president of HBAL in 2011 and is now on the Executive Committee and is the Land Development Chairman. He will assume the presidency of the Home Builders Association of Kentucky in 2018. “The association has been an integral part of my business as well as my personal and professional development. We all need to be part of the changes and regulations that affect the industry. Potential members, and maybe even current members, may not be aware of all the ways BIA works in those and other areas on behalf of all of us. The list of what the organization does day in and day out is a mile long,” says Doelker.

Jason Walton Named BIA Director of Communications By Stacy Smith Rogers

Jason Walton was recently hired as BIA’s new director of communications. Walton is a familiar face to some at BIA, having previously assisted the association with special web and print design products in the past. He comes to the Association from Price Weber, where he served as digital experience designer for five years, working on numerous projects and servicing accounts all over the country, including the St. Louis and Seattle Home Builder Associations, for which he designed web pages and coordinated social marketing. Walton transitioned into his role at BIA in June. He said he is grateful to have spent time on-the-job with his predecessor Kieler Henry, who recently left BIA to pursue mission work internationally. “Being able to work closely with Kieler before he left allowed me to hit the ground running. Now, I can focus on continuing the mission of promoting our members and our industry as our team explores new ways of communicating the messages of BIA,” he explained.

“I’m excited to offer a fresh perspective and work with the BIA team in a fast-paced, energetic environment to serve our members and promote the industry.” Walton’s role at Price Weber gave him valued experience in working in different media formats and with businesses of all sizes, creating media solutions that included multi-million dollar projects as well as those offered pro bono. That flexibility will come in handy as he engages with members and assesses their needs. “I’m looking forward to meeting more members and to working with them on creating products that bring them more business. So much great work has been done before me, and there are a lot of fantastic opportunities ahead

of us. I’m excited to offer a fresh perspective and work with the BIA team in a fast-paced, energetic environment to serve our members and promote the industry.”

“Now, I can focus on continuing the mission of promoting our members and our industry as our team explores new ways of communicating the messages of BIA” Walton is a Louisville native who dug his roots even deeper into the community after graduating from Atherton High School and attending Bellarmine College. He spent five years at Price Weber, working with clients that included R.J. Reynolds, Brown Forman, Maker’s Mark, Kentucky Lottery, Eli’s Cheesecake, the Louisville Metro Police Foundation, among others. Prior to that, he served as assistant general manager and promotions manager at Saddle Ridge Rock-N-Country Saloon for five years, implementing the production of print, web, radio advertising and brand development. Earlier in his career, he spent seven years at Doe Anderson as a production artist, information architect and interactive creative specialist. Walton is the recipient of two Louie Awards. Along with Walton’s new job title at BIA, he just recently assumed another title – that of “husband.” He and his bride, Ashley, were married in Key West, Florida in July. They are the proud parents of a dachshund named Thor, whom Walton refers to as a little dog with a big name and a super-hero-sized personality to match. Walton is a huge fan of all things creative and enjoys the challenge of problem-solving. When he’s not spending hours working in Photoshop or Illustrator, friends can usually find him cheering on the Cardinals at a University of Louisville game or re-watching a Star Wars movie. august 2016 23

#cool502 - Install a Cool Roof on your Home or Business

Install a cool roof instead of a typical black roof to help reduce Louisville’s urban heat island.

• Heat islands are urban areas up to 10 degrees F warmer than surrounding rural areas. More energy is required to cool heat islands, which raises costs and negatively impacts air quality. • A cool roof can be constructed with ENERGY STAR asphalt shingles or with a light color roofing material. Benefits of Cool Roofs • A cool roof can save up to $350 a year in energy costs. CDC’s National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network

• Most residential cool roof installations look very similar to regular shingles, but are designed to reflect heat. • Some cool shingles cost the same as regular shingles. • There may be tax incentives available for your cool roof, especially if you use ENERGY STAR shingles. Ask your tax advisor for more information. Do your part. Help reduce Louisville’s urban heat island and associated impacts. Learn more at www.louisvilleky.gov/uhi

Homearama Norton Commons Site Preview Tour

READY WHEN YOU ARE

On Thursday, June 30 the SMC gathered at Citizen 7 Restaurant in Norton Commons to tour the Homearama homes at this location. The event was well attended by over 65 SMC members, Builders and other BIA members. The food and drinks were sponsored by Berkshire Hathaway Home Services – Parks & Weinberg and Norton Commons Realty. Also, we would like to thank Carpet Specialists and PC Home Center for being SMC 2016 sponsors. Attendees enjoyed a leisurely golf cart ride from the restaurant to Emerald Park where most of the 24 Homearama homes were open for viewing. Building industry professionals were able to get a sneak peek before the tour opened on July 16. This event even directly led to the sale of a Homearama Norton Commons home!

RED T PE REDUCTION Cutting Red Tape in Kentucky! Did you know that there are currently more than 4,500 administrative regulations in Kentucky? What’s even worse is that only 15 – 20 percent of them have ever been reviewed to determine their effectiveness. These regulations simply stay on the books, year after year, and state regulators are required to enforce them. This is about to change thanks to a new Red Tape Reduction initiative launched by Governor Bevin. Through this initiative, Governor Bevin’s goal is to eliminate regulations that are deemed unnecessary or duplicative, simplify those considered too complex, and judge each for its intent and effectiveness. The intent of the Red Tape Reduction Initiative is threefold: • To help spur job creation and investment • To change the attitude of government from regulation makers to regulation managers (Customer Service) • To get government off the backs of Kentuckians As you know, regulations cost businesses both time and money, and consumers face increased costs as a result. In fact, a recent NAHB study shows that 24.3% of the price of a typical, new single-family home is due to costs generated by government regulations. Governor Bevin has asked us for our help, and the BIA has fully endorsed this initiative. If you are aware of an outdated, unnecessary or overly complex regulation that is making it more difficult for you to do business, please visit redtapereduction.com to let the Governor know. Let’s do our part to make Kentucky more business friendly! For more information, contact Annie Fultz Dutton at 429-6000 or annie@bialouisville.com
