Rice & Garner leading the technological edge in buildings

It

can be really easy to take technology for granted and assume everything is going to work the way it was designed to.

When we think of technology we often think of computers, cell phones, and the like. Today, many of our buildings are more technologically advanced than the spacecraft that first put humans in orbit around the planet. In the span of just over 100 years, buildings have morphed from being just walls, roof, floors, windows and doors to being mechanical entities that can control the internal environment, open and close windows, turn on lights, provide hot and cold running water, and deliver electricity to nearly every nook and cranny.

We have environmental controls, security systems, security cameras, garage door openers, wireless services, and appliances galore that our forefathers could never have imagined. Those capabilities increase with modern facilities such as high-rise office buildings, schools, restaurants and other buildings. Even places of worship have become high-tech wonderlands.

Making all of these independent systems work together from concept through construction to occupation requires an advanced level of expertise.

That’s where Rice and Gardner Consultants, Inc., come in. The Houston firm is on the leading edge of the smart building boom.

Although their primary clients are school districts – including Houston ISD – Rice and Gardner provide the experience and knowledge to help most any commercial client create or upgrade their facilities.

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Jim Rice, co-founder and president of the company, who opened my eyes to the symphony of systems it takes to make a modern building work. Like a maestro, he conducts his team as they orchestrate the detailed engineering to make modern buildings work at peak efficiency.

What they do is amazing, but don’t just take my word for it. Be sure to read the story about Rice and Gardner Consultants inside this issue of the Fort Bend Business Journal.

Nine business succession planning mistakes to avoid

By WJ Interests, LLC Most business owners expect to pass on their pride and joy one day—mostly likely to their children, but possibly to an employee or an outside buyer.

This change in ownership is what will fund the owner’s retirement and carry the owner’s creation through the generations.

Yet many small-business owners make mistakes when it comes to succession planning that can thwart their dream. Here we discuss 9 business succession planning mistakes to avoid.

Waiting too long to plan. Many business owners leave succession planning until the last moment—if they plan at all. Yet an ideal succession plan requires laying the groundwork over many years—some experts recommend planning your exit strategy from the day you start the business. How you want to exit the business tomorrow strongly influences how you structure and operate the business today.

Assuming your children will take over the business. While many children want to eventually take over the family business, not all do. Perhaps your child really wants to be a schoolteacher or minister or doctor instead of the owner of a small factory. It’s critical to talk to them about what they envision for themselves. Encourage them to work in the business, but don’t pressure them. It’s not fair to them, and it will probably be a disaster for the business if you try to shove them into a role they don’t really want. You’ll want to know their desires as soon as practical, in order to pursue other avenues if necessary, such as selling to a valued employee or outside buyer.

Dividing the business equally among heirs. Equal partnership among heirs is usually a recipe for disaster because of inevitable conflicts, different skills and different visions. Ultimately, one child needs to run the company. That’s why it’s critical to plan well in advance, to see who among your children has the talent and genuine desire to run your business. And if a child doesn’t want to be involved in the business, devise a way to leave the child non-business assets such as insurance, or perhaps nonvoting shares in the business (though this, too, can lead to conflicts).

Missouri City focused on growing business

By Theresa D. McClellan Theresa@Fortbendstar.com Developers are looking at Missouri City.

When former Missouri City councilman and real estate developer Danny Nguyen expressed interest in more development of his Texas Parkway property, that sparked excitement last month.

Moreover, when Quail Valley Station LLC sought an economic development project plan to reinvest $500,000 in their property at Texas Parkway and Cartwright Road, city leaders found a way to make that happen with financial incentives for those who reinvest in their property.

So City Manager Anthony Snipes is excited about the future.

“I think it’s evident that economic development continues to thrive citywide, and things are only looking positive moving forward,” Snipes said.

The city recently underwent an extensive review of its economic development options

when they hired consulting firm TIP Strategies to explore their growth possibilities.

Under their five-year plan, Missouri City will grow its commercial tax base and employment so the city can provide the same or higher level of service to residents while decreasing its reliance on residential property taxes.

Under the plan they want to: • encourage redevelopment of critical corridors such as Texas Parkway, FM RADIO STATION Cartwright Road, FM 1092 and the Fort Bend FEATURING A VARIETY OF MUSIC Tollway; • create an identity for Missouri City within the greater Houston Metro area; • enhance the city’s business recruitment and support the needs of - Fort Bend Star News with Donna Hill current employers and - Weather with Josh small businesses; - Community Charity Event Announcements • invest in new - Skeeters’ Baseball live every Friday night! tools and resources for economic development.

prioritized list of which aspects of the plan they want city staff to implement first, and our next steps will be shared through all of our citizen communications tools as they are approved through the budget process. The final, councilapproved budget for this upcoming fiscal year will outline our immediate steps in relation to the economic development plan,” Snipes said.

So with partnerships with Houston Community College that has specific business programs, the $6.4 million renovation of the existing campus of the Missouri City Branch Library of the Fort Bend County Library and the upgrades to City Hall with, the new visitors center and community center which allows the city to host larger-scale community events, Snipes expects to generate even more traffic to the Texas Parkway/FM 2234 corridor.

“Only now in its first year of enrollment, the HCC campus has already launched some exciting, innovative programs, including the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program, a program for small businesses that links learning to action. Through the program, our local Missouri City businesses will gain practical skills in topics such as negotiation, marketing, and employee management that can immediately be put into action. In addition, they will receive the tools and professional support they need to develop a strategic and customized business growth plan that will take their company to the next level,” Snipes MISSOURI CITY CONTINUES pg 13

Missouri City created new financial incentives for property owners to reinvest in their business. The perks are available to companies that maintain a minimum 86 percent occupancy. Their initial investment must be above the property value. The city takes their existing value as a base, and they will capture the new value brought in from sales tax giving them a 50 percent rebate.

Companies only get the rebate if they increase business.

BY JOE SOUTHERN expertise in those systems,” Rice said.

Rice & Gardner’s expertise extends to numerous services, including program management, commissioning, Smart buildings require smart construction and even construction administration, and facility assessment. smarter project management.

“The state of Texas passed a law in which all new That’s where Rice & Gardner Consultants, Inc. comes buildings today have to be commissioned. And the reason in. Founded in 2005 by Jim Rice and the late Kevin Gardner, that they’re doing that is because they are wanting to the firm provides services to make sure buildings are reduce energy costs,” Rice said.

While commissioning is now recognized as a crucial constructed and operated with maximum efficiency.

“When you look at how buildings have evolved over component of any building project, Rice credits the time, if you went back over 100 years, for example, a set practice as having started in the United States Navy. of construction documents that had been prepared for “They realized they’ve given the technical a school building were pretty thin. And that’s because specifications of their program requirements to the the construction materials and the construction shipbuilder, but now that it’s done they’ve got to load their sailors on them and put out to sea for sea trials. So techniques had not really changed very much for probably the sailors that are working with the propulsion systems over 100, maybe 200 years,” Rice said. “In the ’50s and the ’60s we saw the advent of all sorts of new construction know how to operate the equipment, the sailors who are materials in terms of flooring surfaces, wall surfaces, working with the radar and avionics know how to operate interior finishes and things of this nature. Then buildings those systems.”

“So we do that same thing for began to be air-conditioned, building owners.

That has been good but it’s also been bad, because staff just hanging around waiting for them to build a we have a lot of different specialty products and systems school. So we do that, and we start by making sure that we understand what the owner wants in the school and in buildings today that don’t always work together and from the operational perspective,” he said. don’t always work as they’re intended to work the first “All of these systems nowadays, most architects and time out of the box, if you will.”

the case of HISD, for instance, is crucial.

“Owners will put together what they call the owner’s program requirements – these are the things we want in this building – and then we work with the architects and engineers to make sure they heard what the owners said and they prepare … a written narrative that says, ‘this is what we heard you say and so this is what we’re going to give you.’ Heretofore, that kind of a statement was implied in the construction documents, but the problem is, not everybody knows how to read construction documents.”

Not only do they make sure the project is ready to commence, they follow it throughout to keep it on schedule and then they prepare it for occupation.

“We’re really doing a test drive of the building and making sure that everything is operating correctly,” Rice said.

Another service Rice & Gardner specializes in is facility assessments. In 2015 they completed one for all 263 campuses in the Houston ISD. That assessment allows them to give the school board a 10-year planning horizon. With their database, the district now knows when roofs, air conditioners and other systems are reaching their life expectancy and need to be upgraded or replaced.

“We’ve built in costs for construction and the engineering and architectural services and inflation. That helps give them an idea of how much money they need to budget for everything whether it’s roofs or it’s chillers,” Rice said.

Having that information in a database has already paid dividends to the school district. When Hurricane Harvey hit last year, Rice and Garner stood ready to respond.

“When they went through Hurricane Harvey, they retained us to help them with a process of their insurance and FEMA claims because we have this huge database already.

We’ve done the assessment already and we’re in the middle of that now and working very hard to make them whole,” he said.

In addition to simplifying the complexities of a modern building for the comfort and ease of use for the owner and occupants, Rice & Gardner also strives to make sure the building is good for the environment.

“ASHRAE, which is the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, has a stated goal of making buildings net zero by 2030,” Rice said. “That doesn’t mean they won’t be connected to the grid, but it means they might be producing power onsite locally either through wind turbines or photovoltaic panels. These provide a lot of the power that CONTINUES...

Rice & Gardner’s staff of 25 includes LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accredited professionals who strive to balance growth and the environment.

“We really need to be mindful of the harmful affects of excessive construction on the earth’s natural resources,” Rice said. “Water is a big issue for Texas. We really need to pay attention to water.

Texas is supposed to grow over the next 25 years to 50 million people with 20 percent less fresh water. How’s that going to work?”

“Electricity is the next thing. Elon Musk is making batteries for your house that are charged with photovoltaic cells.

When we have sunny days and we’re charging a battery pack, we can potentially use that to drive the electricity in our house,” he said. “I think we’re really

going to have to start looking at those things, which means we’ve got to do more homework – more study on how these things operate, how they’re manufactured and how a homeowner can operate them and successfully operate them and reduce the use of fossil fuels that are used to produce electricity in the first place. We need to find a way to have the best of both worlds.”

Looking ahead, Rice & Gardner will continue to provide existing clients with the same quality services they have come to expect from them, while also servicing the needs of new clients and upholding their commitment to the people and environments they serve.

Wells Fargo rebuilding damaged building in Missouri City

By Theresa D. McClellan Theresa@Fortbendstar.com When a tornado struck Missouri City during Hurricane Harvey last August and damaged to the Wells Fargo Building at 2440 Texas Parkway, the four-story building that housed the bank and about 50 small business offices shut down.

It’s been closed ever since.

Missouri City Councilmember Jeffrey Boney said he is encouraged after recently conversing with the Wells Fargo Regional Bank President Daryl Montgomery.

“He said Wells Fargo is committed to opening back as soon as possible and he assured me they have committed to staying on Texas Parkway. He also committed to me that they will be investing the necessary resources to improve the branch amenities and upgrade the features both internally and externally,” Boney.

“With a mid-rise structure sustaining such wind and constant rain damage from the

upper floors draining down to the lower floors, a tremendous amount of mechanical and electrical, as well as interior building material finishes were susceptible to the threat of water,” Boney said.

“It is my understanding that a majority of the air handling units are being replaced,” Boney added.

He said the timeliness of the repairs have been a “major concern from city leadership since the week of the hurricane.”

“With the insurance, resources and construction contractor challenges, process delays have occurred and still remain on a number of properties all over the Greater Houston region,” said Boney.

The city is currently awaiting revised architectural and mechanical

construction documents to satisfy all fire, zoning and building codes, said the councilman.

Wells Fargo issued a statement that their renovations are complete.

“The landlord is involved in permit fling processes related to the fire alarm system and other construction issues before the building can open. While this branch is closed, there are several other Wells Fargo branches in Missouri City where customers can bank. We appreciate your patience during this time,” the bank said.

With roots dating back over 50 years, Capital Bank enjoys the distinction of being one of the Houston area’s oldest independent banks. Today we offer a full spectrum of financial products and services at locations in Baytown, Deer Park, Jacinto City, Pasadena, Pearland and NOW IN SUGAR LAND. Our desire is to be responsive to your needs. At Capital Bank, you’ll always have access to a local decision maker and friendly, attentive associates that will greet you by name. Capital Bank has become the community bank of choice for many of our friends and neighbors.

We look forward to serving Sugar Land and the surrounding communities.
