President’s Message Fred Hoppe, HBAL President

Dear Members, My car is muddy and I’m giddy cause it rained. It has seemed like months of perfect construction weather, so the long sprinkle was very welcome. But it was hardly enough to wet the fields just make the road muddy.

I checked the interest which changed today (and changed yesterday too). Over 7% on some thirty-year NIFA mortgage products. Well, my first mortgage was 7+% in 1979. My next house I built myself on a 12% construction loan which as I recall I rolled into the permanent mortgage. And how many times I’ve refinanced. I guess I’m back to advocating that strategy.

I’m looking back on as the highlights of my second time as HBAL president. We have a pro-housing and particularly pro-low-income housing City Council.

We need infrastructure which will support more lots but there is little money at the City to put in the infrastructure. I sat down for a drink with my friend, an underground contractor. He said he is 18 months out to get plastic pipe and concrete is going up 25% soon.

I had three drinks. Cost of infrastructure is outta sight.

The price of drinks is up too.

Thank the pandemic and war in Ukraine for inflation and supply disruption. Our industry makes predicting prices nuts. As I’ve said before demand for housing is strong – ability to buy weak.

Hey, thankfully we’re in Lincoln so far, we have modest pricing. I was in a meeting this morning with a multifamily builder from the northwest (Oregon) complaining of $200,000/door entitlement costs. He had to be puffing and he certainly was whining. I have heard Lincoln is a market “most prone” to home price increase over the next few years. Let’s not follow the coasts or southeast.

I whine enough without more governmental cost to housing development (40.6% of the cost of multifamily development according to NAHB).

Donate to Santa Cop. Recruit a new member. And come to the Christmas party.

Until next month.

We are challenging our members to give up their daily coffee (or other treat) and direct that money towards a donation to the Santa Cop Project!

If every HBAL member donated $5, we would raise over $3,100 to ensure a brighter holiday season for struggling families in Lincoln!

The Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation is collecting monetary donations for the Lincoln Police Union Santa Cop Project. These funds will purchase toys which will be given directly to children the officers come into contact with. We are excited to see they are distributing toys just as they were when we started building toys in 1988!

There are many ways to greet each other. And there are many ways to discuss remodeling projects, but are we all communicating?

Communication between Tim Zeng general contractors, Remodelers Council subcontractors and Chairperson employees can be tricky when it involves so many specialties. In the stone fabrication industry, we find confusion when discussing quartz and natural stones. In fact, one of our quartz suppliers calls their products “Natural.” To the consumer, their word is true. To others, “natural stone” is something that comes from a quarry in the earth, not a factory in Minnesota.

What communication errors are you seeing within your industry? What communication problems could there be between the general contractor and the subs? As a Remodelers Council, we form relationships with members who attend our meetings and participate in the fun! This makes it easier to clear up communication issues and get over the mistakes that can happen on a simple or complicated job.

Making an effort to attend the meetings and events, and hold small talk, takes the difficulty out of future conversations. Laying the groundwork for relationships and partnerships with good communication starts at the Remodelers Council-so get involved today!
