We’re having a Bags for Builders Corn Hole Tournament and the State Executive Officer, Kim Schneider is coming up to teach us a little more about what the North Dakota Association of Builders does.

Potential members will join us to chat with our current members about what we do while having some drinks!

Our first Tool Belt Barbecue is May 23rd from 11 AM to 1 PM. We’re serving lunch at the back of our parking lot overlooking Minot so it’s a business in the front, party in the back party! Be on the lookout for mullet themed announcements.

On July 31st, our Birdie with the Builders Golf Tournament is happening at the Minot Country Club. We’re really excited about this year’s tournament with the venue change and new activities we’ve come up with!

CITY OF MINOT HIRES FINANCE DIRECTOR New leadership will take the reins of the City of Minot Finance Department in April. David Lakefield, a local Certified Public Accountant, has been named the new Finance Director for the City and will begin his tenure on April 3.

“We’re really excited to have David join our team,” says City Manager, Tom Barry. “He brings a broad skill set that will be very beneficial for our Finance Department and the City of Minot.”

Mr. Lakefield has owned and operated his own business, Liberty Tax Service, since 2003. He spent eight years as an educator in accounting and finance at Minot State University, the University of Mary and Central Michigan University. Before that he was previously employed at MLT Vacations as an Accounts Payable Supervisor.

Before changing careers, David spent time protecting and serving the community as a Patrol officer, Narcotics investigator and was a member of the City of Minot SWAT team. He served in the Minot Police Department for nine years.

RESIDENTIAL REMODELERS’ PROFITS ARE ON THE RISE According to the newly-released Remodelers’ Cost of Doing Business Study: 2017, the typical residential remodeler’s net profit margin increased to 5.3% in 2015, up from 3.0% in 2011.

Remodelers surveyed reported an average of $1.8 million in revenue for 2015. An average of $1.3 million (71.1%) of this revenue went toward cost of sales, leaving a gross profit of 28.9% of revenue. After an average of $420,000 in operating expenses, remodelers ended the fiscal year 2015 with a net profit of $95,000. In 2015, residential remodelers reported total assets averaging $414,000 on their balance sheets. About $279,000 (67.5%) of that was backed up by liabilities and the remaining $135,000 (32.5%) was held as owner’s equity.

NAHB NOTES

NAHB: OUR SUPPORT FOR DODD-FRANK REFORM

NAHB wants policymakers to loosen certain financial regulations President Donald Trump came into office promising to scale back excessive federal regulation, and his announcement that he wants to reform regulations in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of Granger MacDonald 2010 (known as Dodd-Frank) is an important step in that direction.

Passed in response to the 2008 financial crisis, Dodd-Frank was meant to protect consumers and the banking system, but its reach went too far. The implementation of this act has contributed to a lackluster recovery in the housing finance market and slowed economic growth overall. Lenders, particularly community banks, have had to comply with burdensome and costly Dodd-Frank provisions.

These heavy regulations placed on lending institutions have restricted their ability to provide consumer mortgages and construction loans.

Trump’s announcement comes several months after House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) introduced the Financial CHOICE Act of 2016, which would roll back or reform significant components of Dodd-Frank. Hensarling is concerned about Dodd-Frank’s potential impact on housing production, home sales, and the overall economy. NAHB commends Hensarling for his efforts to loosen overly tight credit conditions, and it hopes policymakers refer to this legislation when they take on Dodd -Frank.

NAHB supports a provision within the Financial CHOICE Act that

would prevent new financial rules from weighing too heavily on small businesses. Under this provision, financial regulators would have to conduct a cost-benefit analysis before issuing rules. And all financial regulations would be subject to the REINS Act (Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny)—meaning the rules would have to be passed by Congress before they are implemented.

Great work!

trades, the compensation level that could entice some of them to join the industry, and the reasons many won’t even consider construction as a possible career path. There were a few results of the study that might help us understand how to attract more of them into the industry.

First of all, the small percentage of young adults that want to have a career in the construction trades came to that choice mainly because it is what they are most interested in or it is where their skills lie. To them, the two most important benefits of a career in the construction trades are good pay and the acquisition of useful skills.

Most young adults who have yet to make up their minds on a career see very little chance they would join the trades even if the pay was high. This decision is based mostly on their view that construction work is physically demanding and difficult.

The positive news for the construction industry is that many young adults who generally would not like to work in the trades would reconsider it if the salary made it attractive enough. There is a perception among many young adults that salaries are not very high for those in the trades.

On March 16, members from across the state gathered in Bismarck for our Builders Day at the Capitol where we served lunch to the legislators, legislative staff members and statewide elected officials. It was a delicious lunch, well attended and a relaxed opportunity to meet with those who represent us. We are continuously grateful to those of you who take time out of your busy schedule to attend these events and help ensure your voice is heard!

Our advocacy work doesn’t stop at the local or state level. In June, NDAB members are invited to travel to Washington, DC to participate in National Association of Home Builder’s Mid-Year Meeting where we will also be visiting the National Capitol and meeting with Senator Heitkamp, Senator Hoeven and Congressman Cramer. We invite all of you to join us! Registration opens April 3 and the meetings will be held June 13-17 at Marriott at Wardman Park. If you have never had the opportunity to attend NAHB meetings, we have plenty of members that have regularly attended and would invite you to join them. If you have any questions, please contact our office at 701-222-2401.

We would like to take this time to recognize and congratulate our 2017 NDAB Professional Builders:

      A take away that I have after reading this article is that  continued effort needs to be made by all of us to start educating our children at an early age of the benefits and   positives of working in the construction/housing  industry. If kids are not exposed or given the opportunities early on, they will not develop the skills or  have interest in pursuing the industry as a career once  they become young adults. Technology is also going to  change the industry dramatically in the near future. I  would guess that many of these advances will make  working in the trades less physically demanding and  more attractive to young adults.

Therefore, I would like to continue the effort put forth by our Past President Arnold Karsky, along with many others, and encourage everyone to look for creative ways of educating our youth about our industry.

Our 2017 Home Design & Garden Show is in the books and was a success.

Attendance was very good giving the vendors lots of good leads. There were lots for the kids to do with the playground, bouncy games and Little Builder’s Workshops. Good food was prepared and shared by chefs from the Wild Hog and Skip’s Gourmet Grub. As always, the gardening seminars by Tim Shea’s Nursery & Landscaping and Bergeson Nursery were very popular.

PS Garage Doors will host Builders after Hours on April 25th. All members and potential members are invited to attend.

Our Annual Sporting Clay Shoot is in the planning stages and will be held in May.
