The impact of COVID-19 on Texas A/E/C Vertical Markets

Kenny Fuller, Joeris President, discusses the value-based leadership culture at Joeris and how he inspires all employees to be their own leader and enact change.

We analyze how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected seven vertical markets in the state of Texas. Taking a deep dive into the industrial, healthcare, office, K-12 education, high education, retail, and municipal markets, we provide insights and key takeaways for others in the industry.

06 PROJECT UPDATES Summer Push Ends with 27 project completions The summer scramble to complete K-12 projects concludes with a total of 10 projects, including a new elementary and middle school as well as multiple renovation projects. Project teams pivoted in response to COVID-19, ensuring the health and safety of all on site.

You’ve no doubt seen our signs as we are building in more than 30 different Texas towns and cities. We transform our communities by providing families access to more education and healthcare facilities as well as bring your favorite Texas grocer to local neighborhoods.

The Joeris Way has been our north star for more than 50 years. We’ve lost our way a bit as a result of rapid growth and have decided it’s time to do a course-correct and reassess our mission, vision, and values. It’s all about

FROM THE DESK OF KENNY FULLER

Leadership Feature Values-Based Leadership in a World with COVID-19 Recognizing the tremendous growth of the company has come at an expensive price — misalignment of values and culture. Kenny talks about his role as a servant leader, his vision of people empowerment, and how his faith guides him.

It was about this time last year, July 2019, when Joeris began a new journey. We undertook a big challenge – to evaluate our company’s position in the industry, our markets and with our own team members in an effort to get better at what we have always called the Joeris Way. Joeris has grown significantly over the years, from one office in San Antonio to our current four offices covering most of Texas; from 50 employees in 2000 to 450 in 2020; and from $50 million in revenue to $650 million in that same time span.

This growth has not come without some growing pains! And we realized that we probably weren’t living up to our promise to our clients, our trade partners or our employees. That needed to change.

Through our relationships with several clients including Credit Human, HEB, Holt, and Silver Ventures, we were introduced to some really great thinkers who also happen to be amazing people!

These folks have been and continue to guide us as we hone in on our renewed Mission, Vision and Values. And it could not have begun at a better time. The work we did in summer and fall of 2019 certainly positioned us to handle the world we live in today, a world with COVID-19.

Our values-based leadership has given us the guideposts to make decisions quickly, based not just on the guidance of the most educated authorities, but on what holds true to our core values of Safety, Integrity, Leadership and Excellence and our mission to Transform People and Places.

These values and our mission have informed each decision from things as seemingly minor as jobsite signage to choices that significantly impact the business, like working from home.

And through it all, we have focused on transparency and communication with our team members and all of our stakeholders. We are so very proud of each and every one of our employees. They continue to weather this storm and serve with a sense of purpose and optimism and we are forever grateful for all of them.

We salute them and all of you who also continue to work in this essential industry that helps to move our country forward.

We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the work of our educators who pivoted quickly to continue educating our children and, especially, the commitment of those in healthcare who are on the frontlines fighting an enemy that isn’t fully understood. We thank you all.

If you’d like to know more about Joeris’ COVID-19 response, you can find additional information on page 22. If you are curious about our leadership work, feel free to reach out to me or our Executive Vice President, Angela Cardwell. We’d be happy to share our story (and contact info for those who are helping us!).

Battling the blistering Texas sun has not been the only challenge these teams have overcome this year. When COVID-19 swept through the country during March, our teams responded quickly. Installing handwashing stations, practicing social distancing, and screening team members, trade partners, and site visitors for signs of the virus were important steps to ensuring jobsite productivity and safety.

TOM THUMB AT THE UNION DALLAS

Project Spotlight

TOM THUMB AT THE UNION DALLAS

Food Connects Downtown Dallas Towering 30-stories high and taking up an entire city block, nearly two million square feet of residential, commercial, and class A office space sits The Union Dallas. This gleaming display of refined and artful office space mixed with ultra-urban condos and a touch of a half-acre green space has excited residents and commuters of Downtown Dallas.

But what has truly thrilled the more than 10,000 residents is the 70,000 SF space located at Field and Ashland - Tom Thumb Grocery.

That’s right, a store comprised of only 3.5% of the entire 1.8M SF development is the anchor, and for good reason!

Affordability and accessibility to a grocery store were missing in the once highly business-centric part of the city.

Before the opening of Tom Thumb, downtown shoppers only had a couple of choices, Whole Foods and Royal Blue, both of which were more costly and offered limited products and services. Downtown Dallasites were hungry for a change!

Construction of the mammoth development began in 2016, with DPR as the prime general contractor for the project. When RED Development secured Tom Thumb as the anchor retail tenant, Joeris was selected as the contractor to complete the interior finish-out of the existing shell space.

Project Description Tom Thumb was one of the first retail spaces to take root at The Union. The store is conveniently located on the first floor, featuring integral colored polished concrete, white painted concrete deck, porcelain and ceramic tile, plastic and laminate wall paneling, epoxy flooring, stainless steel trim and the latest Tom Thumb décor.

The sales floor is covered in a four-inch integral colored polished concrete slab.

Deli, Bakery and Meat departments feature Stonehard epoxy floors, while the Pharmacy and store entrances have carpet.

Exterior walls have plastic laminate wainscot.

Department walls highlight white 3’’x6’’ tile with color accent bands and stainless steel. The Union Tap bar area has Crossvile Cava tile at a four-screen TV wall. Cloud hanging ceilings at the floral, cheese and fresh cuts bars showcase oiled

olivewood laminate.

More than groceries Tom Thumb serves not only The Union’s tenants, but also the development’s office and retail guests and employees as well as the local community members living in Uptown and Downtown Dallas.

This grocery store’s urban planning design intentionally considered the needs of all shoppers and provides a unique experience for working commuters, tenants of the building, and the surrounding communities.

Guests and patrons can access the store from the main lobby off Akard St; commuters can easily enter the parking garage from the tollway and enter via the first level; and tenants of the building can choose to bypass the main entry and enter off Ashland St. or have their groceries delivered. Scheduled completion The store was scheduled to open in November 2018, however because of delays in critical scope, the store didn’t officially open until April 2019.

Enjoying more than a good meal The arrival of a full-service grocery store in downtown Dallas providing commuters, office dwellers, and city slickers with more than just a grocery store speaks to the shifting cultural

COVID-19 IMPACT ON TEXAS A/E/C VERTICAL MARKETS

COVID-19 Impact on Texas AEC Vertical Markets The industrial and healthcare vertical markets are growing.

The healthcare industry is growing in unusual ways. Providing solutions to owners will be key.

There’s no doubt the Texas healthcare industry is in a state of flux during the pandemic. The entire AEC industry is anticipating new needs and concerns coming from owners as these medical community spaces are renovated and built in response to the challenges highlighted by the virus’ descent on our communities.

These spaces include nursing homes, advancing surgical care centers, and hightech clinics with special attention paid to the aging population and keeping people safe from those who are sick at a moment’s

notice.

E-commerce activity during quarantine elevates need for industrial spaces.

E-commerce activity is leading to increase demand for warehouse space and industrial distribution, over 300 million square feet in Texas alone. Investment is way up in this market. Keep an eye on the US-MexicoCanada agreement. It will play a role in the growth of the industrial vertical market.

The office and K-12 education vertical markets are evolving or stagnant.

Reliable and consistent growth in the K-12 market is no longer a given.

In Texas, population growth will continue, but the passage of the education bonds to meet the needs of that population is not as certain. According to the Texas Bond Review Board, the total dollar value of atrisk bonds varies by region with North Texas carrying the largest at-risk bond value (West, $300M; East, $488M; Central $617M; North¬, $1.1B). Increased home schooling, parent fears, and distance learning

will all come into play as new schools are being designed, built and renovated.

What will office space look like postCOVID? Workspace safety and how future offices will look during and after COVID-19 are the topic of endless think piece articles by mainstream news outlets and are also a favorite for AEC industry publications. With the stock market as a leading indicator, most transactions on office constructions have been halted.

The higher education, retail and municipal vertical markets are in a decline.

Higher education isn’t going to make the grade Declining enrollments, reduced funding, trimmed endowments, budget cuts, staff reductions, distance learning, and parent and student fears are all negatively affecting the growth patterns of higher education spaces.

More so than in any other vertical market, COVID-19 has initiated the expectation of a

“I have seen our team members rally to make the jobsites safer for everyone, while still keeping our unwavering commitment to both safety and finishing our projects on time.

I have seen the dedication from our leadership to ensure our employees have the best information available and are put in the best position to balance personal safety and company performance.”

change in the status quo of how institutions function and, by extension, are designed and built to meet future needs.

The numbers show retail is in trouble. Grocery stores are a bright spot in the market.

Stores and malls are experiencing significant challenges during COVID. Sales are down 6% from 2019, over 25,000 stores will be closing in 2020, not to mention a rise in bankruptcies from retailers large to small. With high unemployment and the end of the COVID-19 stimulus package in July, retailers expect to see continued customer drop off. According to CoreSight Research, there are a few areas of growth of retail space: grocery stores and stores that support online services or office needs.

Budget uncertainty makings planning for the future near impossible for local municipalities.

Capital projects have been put on hold as city, county, and government agencies work to understand the new landscape as it unfolds in front of them.

Key Takeaways The AEC industry is in a unique position to help owners move forward, to be there to counsel them as they consider taking on the risk of a project and what that means for them.

Business owners want to be profitable, create jobs and spur local economic growth in communities. So, as architects, engineers, and construction managers we want to work with our clients to find the right building solution that fits their needs. They are thinking long-term, and we do too. This applies to all seven vertical markets that we reviewed.

In our industry, we are all preparing ourselves for the unique work, or lack thereof, that lies ahead. During times of uncertainty, one thing that shouldn’t change is our determination to be of service to each other.

You’re probably experiencing fierce competition for work that is out there. Now is the time your integrity should shine through. Remember to look ahead to your company’s future and remember that your brand is at stake. Come out on the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic with the reputation of being knowledgeable, wise, and trustworthy by

ALL SAINTS DALLAS RENOVATION WINS ENR BEST REGIONAL PROJECT

All Saints Dallas Faith in Downtown Dallas A new and thriving Anglican Church has found its home among the urban landscape of downtown Dallas. Their once small weekly Bible Study group was started ten years ago through the desire to embrace the Scripture, Sacrament, and Spirit in worship. Now, a decade later, the church has anchored their fellowship and message in a historical part of the city and seen a flourish in new followers.

ALL SAINTS DALLAS RENOVATION WINS ENR BEST REGIONAL PROJECT

Divine Craftsmanship Located on the main floor are the sanctuary and children’s area. The sanctuary has all wooden elements, including wooden pews and altar. The altar was custom made with sanded AC fir plywood stained to match each knot hand-picked to match another sheet of plywood placed next to it. This process took three attempts to achieve the look of a seamless piece of wood. Hanging behind the stage is a cross formed out of a structural steel angle.

Sign of the Times The new church sits at the corner of Ervay and Corsicana, across from the Dallas City Hall, in a building constructed in 1932 for the Packard Motor Company. Unlike the car lot dealerships of today, these luxury automobiles were kept inside the twostory building with a ramp connecting the second floor so the cars could be driven in and out of the building. After the dealership closed the building sat vacant for decades, attracting anyone or anything needing shelter from the elements.

Let There be Light!

The All Saints Dallas Church welcomed their congregation in their new church in August 2019.

Church members walked into a beautifully renovated building that has all the features and functionality to come together and share in the Lord’s message. With an abundance of glass windows in the sanctuary and throughout the first and second floors, the All Saints family can also bathe in His light.

Bridging Old & New The church decided to keep the modern, industrial design of the building. As such, all the floors are the original sealed concrete, there is exposed ceilings and ductwork, and exposed masonry on the inside.

To further complement the exposed brick and give the space even more of an industrial feel a few areas have toothed-in modern gray brick, this is evident on the second floor game and youth area.

The sanctuary also features original terrazzo flooring that was filled, ground and refinished.

The nursery has bright pops of color in the carpet and benches with built-in storage and cabinetry. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows comprise an entire wall in both the sanctuary and children’s area on the first floor. The large windows have opaque film from the bottom of the window to midway allowing natural sunlight to filter in while maintaining privacy.

A Place to Work & Play The second floor has offices for church staff, and an adult and youth education area. The industrial motif continues in these spaces with exposed brick, ductwork and pendant lighting.

A completely finished wall separates the administration area from the adult and youth areas. The administrative offices are a large open-concept area with storefront windows and skylights. All original skylights were kept and provide more light in multiple areas throughout the second floor.

Let All That You do be Done in Love The All Saints Dallas Church has found a place of respite and of celebration in downtown Dallas. Among the ever-growing urban sprawl, this once small group has a home to grow into and spread God’s message of love through words and actions of its members.

ISSUE 01

TRANSFORMING PEOPLE AND PLACES

Introducing the Joeris Way, Re-envisioned Aligning our Mission, Vision, and Values to our culture For many years, Joeris was led by the Joeris Way. It wasn’t a list of work rules or even a code of conduct. It’s something inside each employee, their work ethic and personal belief that doing a good job is the minimum standard.

When Leo Joeris established this company, he didn’t start ‘The Joeris Way.’ He inspired it. Leo inspired it by believing in the people who worked for him, hard work, a quality product and by always putting his employees and their families first.

But best of all, Leo inspired Gary, his son. Gary now continues the legacy his father gave him.

In 2019, led by Gary Joeris and President, Ken Fuller, Joeris sought to re-capture the spirit of our founding organization and to lead a new Joeris Journey, a transformative effort that helps lead our values-based leadership culture in ways that allow current and future growth. Built on the spirit, meaning, message and execution of the Joeris Way, the newly refined Joeris Journey includes our updated Values & Mission statements.

Please see the last page for our Vision & Mission

“Our people are the heartbeat of this company. They are what sustain this business.”

TRANSFORMING PEOPLE AND PLACES

Values-Based Leadership, in Action Empowering our people to transform places Applying our values of safety, leadership, integrity and excellence to positively impact our community.

Values-Based Leadership Joeris has begun a new Joeris Journey, focused on aligning our leadership and strategy with our core values. This Values Based Leadership (VBL) approach has shown us the power of leadership and it’s ability to inspire, influence and make a positive difference for others, at work and at home, and the resulting positive impact to the bottom line.

The VBL curriculum and training will help each of us to employ the values and mission in the decisions we make every day. VBL empowers employees to become stronger leaders through self-awareness and emotional intelligence training.

Facilitative Leadership Clearing the path for others to build, innovate, and achieve is the purpose of facilitative leaders. Joeris empowers every one to be a leader and facilitate positive change through the best practices of facilitative leadership.

All employees receive training on how to practice and implement the seven steps of facilitative leadership. Leaders practicing these methods using a collaborative and strategic approach while maintaining flexibility and receptiveness with their team achieve greater levels of proficiency and performance.

“Values Based Leadership is going to transform us into a company that will allow us better interaction with others. Our mindset will be centered around safety, integrity, leadership, and excellence.”
