President’s Message Lori Wellman, HBAL President

The month of May brings us the Spring Parade of Homes!

We are excited to have 25 builders showcasing houses in this year’s Parade. I have always felt our Parade has a nice variety of home sizes, styles and floorplans. The Parade gives our members a chance to showcase the craftmanship they put into their homes and allows perspective buyers to see the work firsthand. In addition, it gives future homebuyers an opportunity to talk with the builder and find out what your company can do to help them build a home that fits their family’s needs.

In the last few years, we have all experienced supply change issues, which has made it harder for many builders to have homes in the Parade.

We all hope these issues continue to improve, making our jobs easier and the building process less challenging.

I know there is a lot of work that goes into getting these houses completed and ready for public viewing, please give yourself a pat on the back and know HBAL values your participation and support of this great event.

Also in May is the 2nd Annual Cruisin' for the Trades Car Show on May 6.

Remodelers Council

May Meeting Publication of the Remodelers Council of Lincoln May 2023 • Vol. 26, No. 5

Did you know May is Small Business Month? Did you know small business is the backbone of your town, city and state?

It is important to keep as much business as we can in our communities.

Ben Klein Remodelers Council As remodelers we can Chairperson make sure we utilize the businesses next door as much as possible. It can be as simple as getting your oil changed with a local mechanic or buying building materials from a local resource rather than a big box store. Of course we need to watch our operation costs and material costs, but the relationships you make with small business owners may not show up on paper, but will pay back in customer service and knowledge. These types of time savings are worth every penny spent.

Make sure the next time you need to get out that credit card, that it not only helps you and your business, but it also helps another small business in the community.

We have a lot of events coming up: the Spring Parade of Homes, HBAL Golf Tournament and the Remoderlers Council Picnic. Please contact the HBAL office if you need any details.

April Board Report Remodelers Council: The Remodelers Council held another roundtable this month. The group discussed fluctuating prices, escalation clauses, questions about pulling permits.

The next meeting is May 3 for a tour of the renovated Terminal Building which is now Traction Lofts. The Tour of Remodeled Homes is April 29 & 30 with 8 homes.

Membership Committee: Membership Chair Beau Daffer shared details on this year’s membership drive.

Prizes include 1st place prize $1,000, 2nd place prize $500 and 3rd place $100. The contest will be point based this year. There is an additional $100 bonus for the first recruiter who earns 50 points.

The following new members were approved: • ACRE Realty Group, Dustin Sanderson Sponsor: Jeff Pankoke • ALLSET Kitchens and Baths, Chad Johnson Sponsor: Sam Swartz • BDP Communications 93.7 The Ticket, Rebecca Pearson Sponsor: Blake Pittack • Professional Painting Co., Geoffrey Vasa Sponsor: Beau Daffer • Revolution Wraps, Kris Haase Sponsor: Beau Daffer Government Affairs: HOMEPAC approved $2,500 contributions to Taylor Wyatt and Tom Duden for City Council.

LES Transformers: LES held another meeting in March to update on the transformer shortage.

They confirmed three alternative designs for single-phase transformers. Two utilize poles, the third option utilizes an enclosure to mimic a pad mounted transformer. There are delays in receiving the enclosures until August, so pole versions will be utilized if needed.

Transformer deliveries have improved, they have begun to receive transformers from orders placed in 2020. Deliveries should start to take place in a steady fashion (barring any manufacturer issues). Communication channels with transformer vendors have also increased, which helps LES in planning and scheduling future transformer needs.

This is only in reference to single phase transformers. There are no options for alternative design for three phase transformers. Providing LES with design information for these is critical to allow for needed orders to be placed sooner in the process. It is currently taking 18 months to receive a three-phase transformer.

Lincoln Transportation & Utilities (LTU) Sidewalks: LTU agreed to most of the proposed changes on the new sidewalk inspection process. Denny Van Horn and Matt Kinning have another meeting scheduled with Liz Elliott, Director of LTU, to discuss the changes. The discussion process has gone well and HBAL appreciates the concessions made to date through negotiations.

Careers in Construction: Next Thursday 4/20 is Construction Career Day. We are expecting 250-300 students. There should be around 24 companies with hands on experiences for the students.
