Fine Craftsmanship Goes Into the Finest Homes in Dallas tom home builders. The builders of the area’s finest and most prestigious homes are naturally very selective. They rely on word-of-mouth advertising and want to see examples of a contractor’s work. Quality and service are often more im portant than pricing and scheduling. By listening to home builders and giving them what they want, MBC Dallas has successfully established a reputation as the premier drywall contractor in Metroplex.

The Jim Sexton Model Home in Tour 18 resembles a medieval castle, complete with gargoyles. A primary goal of our Dallas resi dential team has always been to establish the Marek name and reputation among Dallas area cus-

Finisher Jonathan Celis puts the finishing touches on the new Thayer residence.

This April, our crews completed work on one of the most unusual and challenging houses we’ve ever done. Located in the Highland Shores community, the house overlooks Lake Lewisville. The builder, Jim Thayer of Creative Concepts, is also the owner. The three-story house fea tures an array of interesting architectural features, including ultramodern styling, numerous reveals, projections, niches, light coves, radius walls and ceilings, Continued on page 4

Snake Charmers - A New Attraction at the Atlanta Zoo?

The "Snake Charmers" pause for a picture.

One usually associates zoos with unusual animals, not unusual architecture - but all this is changing with construction of the new Conservation Resource Center at the downtown Atlanta Zoo.

Spearheading the work is foreman John Files who is framing the metal stud roof trusses which will become the “body” on

Inside the building, the effect will be en hanced with canted walls, sloped gypsum board ceilings and soffits. The exhibit is

next to the llama enclosure and beside the miniature train tracks that take tourists around the park. Over the last few weeks, John and his lead carpenter Arvin Ma lone have noticed that the llamas have been looking none to happy. It seems that the tourists are more interested in watch ing the MIS crew of “snake charmers” than they are in live animals.♦

From Olympic Games to Baseball, MIS is Still On the Winning Team The Olympic Games may be over, but that doesn’t mean that work on the sta dium is finished. Our crews are now back on the site converting the stadium to be come the new “Turner Field” where the Atlanta Braves pro-baseball club will play. A great deal of work is involved, which has meant ten-hour days, sevendays a week for foremen Geoff George, Tim Althius, Jeff Gehan,, Bill Pallino and Miller Vinyard, with lead carpen

With no time to waste, our men are in stalling heavy gauge exterior and interior framing and hanging sheetrock before the roof is in place. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it doesn’t start rain ing.

Angel Puga is running two three-story remodels at the Lackland A.F.B. with the help of leadmen George Puga and Rigoberto Fernandez, who are each in charge of one of the buildings. With around 20 employees on the job, the work includes installing 120,000 sq. ft. of drywall ceilings. Some of the key men on the job include Sergeo Alvarado, Robert Caseas, Jose Canto, Rudy Cortez, Luis Lopez, William Muelimier, Jesus Paz, Ramiro Puga and Steve Valencia.

MBS Dallas Foremen Terry Evans, Joe Rodriguez and Wayne Strawser are getting under way with a five-story 125,000-square foot tenant improvement for Ernst and Young. This is a high-end buildout with a great many fancy details to accommo date. David Guilbault and his crew are start ing work on a remodel of Corgan Archi tects’ 50,000-square foot offices. Again, our crews can expect lots of interesting features. Perhaps nothing beats the smell of fresh bagels, but unfortunately, there hasn’t been much baking going on at Benny’s Bagels at Plaza of the Americas while Terry Higgs has been demolishing exist ing walls and ceilings and installing new Page 3

Work on the Coppel Professional Plaza has progressed well under Richard Bur gess’s direction, with our crews install ing some fancy features, including radius-furrdown from eight-foot AFF to a 15-foot deck. We also installed exterior wall framing with gypsum sheathing on the outside, 5/8 inch drywall on the inte rior, acoustical ceilings with undergrid partitions, doors and hardware.

MBS Houston Working around shoppers can be quite tricky, particularly in a high traffic area like the Galleria. So, foremen Ron Fisch, Nick Nunez and Danny Smith have gotten around the problem by building two tunnels connecting the old Marshall Fields store to the rest of the Galleria for the general public to use. Our men are then free to work on the conversion of Marshall Fields into a new Saks Fifth Avenue. With work scheduled for com pletion in August, we have around 50 men on site, installing elaborate GRG, furrdowns, drywall and acoustical ceil ings. We are currently working on two fastpaced lease buildouts.

Meanwhile, foreman Ray Moore and his men are hard at work fin ishing off drywall, acoustical ceilings and paint at the Kerr McGee facility for Bellows Construction. This job has taken careful planning and scheduling since we have had to wait for the last two tenants to move out before we could move onto the two final floors. California-based general contractors Gordon & Williams chose Marek Broth ers to install drywall, acoustical ceilings and paint in the new KRIV Television Production Studios. Since sound insula tion is key to this project, foreman How ard Boren and his crew have been paying special attention to ensuring that the walls and ceilings are carefully iso lated in order to make each room sound proof. In our industry, it is not usual to travel to sites out of town or even out of state, and we are fortunate to have employees who are willing to get up and go on short no tice. Working with Satterfield & Pontikes, foremen Darryl Hunter and James Owen, along with a crew of twelve men, are converting eight theaters in Orlando, Florida to the stadium-style seating. In addition to drywall and acous tical work, MBS is constructing the tiered seating using metal stud framing. Bobby Sandel is currently working on MBS Houston’s biggest EIFS project ever at the new AmeriSuites hotel where we are also handling the drywall and acoustical ceilings contracts and apply ing Duroplex paint finishes.

MIS Atlanta We currently have a number of different jobs around town keeping our crews working to fast-paced schedules. We have four jobs currently in progress for G A Pacific; a four-story core renova tion and one-story lease buildout for G.B.A. and a two-story tenant buildout for Alston & Bird where foremen James Hallmark, Nick Pallino and Mike Perry are currently adding the finishing touches.

If foreman Bill Cummings and lead car penter Charles Winn sometimes feel a bit at sea working on the new Informa tion America project in downtown At lanta, it is to be expected.

We are also proud to be the contractor of choice for New Haven Custom Homes, who builds in Tour 18, Highland Shores and other communities.

These and other builders of the area’s most exclusive homes are beginning to discover that Marek Brothers is synony mous with excellence when it comes to drywall. Whether it’s domed ceilings or rounded bullnose comers; slick walls or hand-troweled texture, they know they can count on Marek craftsmen, like patchman Jorge Terrazas. Jorge and his coworkers are getting the opportu nity to work in some of the finest custom homes around, and we look forward to more of this type of work in the future.o

Mike, a 13-year veteran of the company, has founded a home at S.W. Bell’s Corporate Headquarters in downtown San Antonio. He has spent most of his waking moments there for the last three years attending to the many diverse needs that are generated by a major corporation. Mike’s duties range from lig t duty remodeling to full blown emo tion and rework of certain areas.

Deion. Jeff comes to Marek Brothers with extensive drywall experience, having previously worked for a competi tor in Austin and San Antonio. Jeff and his wife Cathy were planning to move to Dallas. Luckily, he was familiar with Marek’s reputation as a good place to work, so he applied for a job. He didn’t have to look any further. He started out with us on the ground floor, working as a patch man in the field. After several months, we decided we could make bet ter use of his talents and experience by moving him into the office. Since the first of the year, Jeff has been spending most of his time estimating plans. His duties also include selling, and project management - and he is also a pretty fair hand with his tools. Jeff isn’t bashful about calling on some new builders. Along with rounding up new plans to bid, he has managed to bring in some new customers. It is this type of initiative, coupled with his conta gious enthusiasm, that makes Jeff a pleasure to work with. Please join us in welcoming him.

A Chance for our Houston Employees to Become Homeowners The City of Houston, in cooperation with Majestic Homes, has announced a program that will allow low income families to become homeowners. This program will feature homes to be built in Briar Villa off South Post Oak. Mastermark Homes has a similar program in Spring Branch Villas near N. Gessner and Clay Road. To qualified home buyers the city will provide up to $9,500. in down payment assistance. Families will move into a new threebedroom, two-bath, two-car garage house priced at approximately $60,000 with a total down payment of around $1,800. They will pay about $600 per

Since the program is designed for lower income families, the maximum income for a family of four is $36,400. This program represents a good oppor tunity for employees of the Marek Family of Companies.

MBS Dallas Our crews are getting ready to start work on the Lowes of North Dallas project where we will be installing acoustical ceilings, interior drywall partitions and EIFS at the entry canopies. On the exte rior, we will be installing heavy gauge metal framing around the exterior entry canopies and towers and then 1/2-inch Densglass over the framing. Finally, we will install light gauge corrugated metal decking with sloped canopies.

lution for the biggest problem facing the construction industry: a lack of skilled workers. Interesting things are happening in construction. First, the State Drywall Association is trying to improve the image of our in dustry. That effort has moved to the Texas legislature and has resulted in a proposed bill to register drywall contractors in the State of Texas. The bill is being vigorously opposed by the Home builders and Apartment Association and may not survive. These organiza tions feel that their best interests lie in preserving the present system which promotes the use of small independent subcontractors who will work for wages only. This is discouraging but this effort is a start and people in Austin are more aware of the situation than before. Another movement is underway, and its outlook is more favorable. It is known as the “Construction Workforce Coali tion” and is composed of several con struction associations in the Houston area, including ABC (Associated Builders and Contractors), AGC (Asso ciated General Contractors), IEC (Inde pendent Electrical Contractors) and D1SCA (Drywall and Interior Systems Contractors Association). Representatives of these associations and contractor members have been meeting since last October to find a so-

The CWC is addressing the problem on three fronts: recruiting, training and re tention. Task forces within the CWC have par ticipated in career fairs at twenty Houston-area high schools, putting out the word about construction career oppor tunities and soliciting juniors and sen iors for immediate job openings. The CWC has formulated other teams to initiate recruiting efforts with other target groups. One of the critical areas the CWC is ad dressing is the training issue. All em ployees who participate must commit to placing new employees in a bonafide skills training program after thirty days of employment. The third area of focus for the CWC is retaining workers by serving as a refer ral service. Member employers are asked not to lay off workers in slow times but to send them back to the CWC for referral to another contractor. This will enable workers not only to have the potential for steadier work but to acquire skills in a variety of areas. This is the first attempt at creating a la bor pool for our entire industry that ex tends across all craft lines. It’s a positive
