Happy New Year! And what a year this has started out to be!

At our December Board of Directors Planning retreat you could definitely sense the energy and excitement about the upcoming year. We have welcomed over a hundred new members to our local HBA; a fantastic recruiting effort by our current members and the Spike Club. We have also added many new members to the board and brought back board members who have served before and bring with them a wealth of experience. We set realistic goals for an exciting and eventful year.

Popping in on a few of our wonderful committees has also brought me a big smile. It is so good to see our brand new members (and long time members) jumping into the action (and fun!). We have many social and education events planned for the year and we hope you join in on the activities. As we always like to say: “you get out of it what you put into our great organization”. It is up to each of us to make it a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Please feel free to call or email at any time. If I cannot help we have a staff second to none and a slate of officers with a myriad of experience.

One final word: as all of my predecessors have said before me, “remember to do business with a member”!

Winter 2015 - Meeting ScheduleJanuary 13 February 10 March 10

As we close out the 2014 calendar year I think most everyone can say it has been a great year. Each month we meet at our socials and during the month as we run into each other out and about I continue to hear the same thing, “We are covered up”. What a great way to end the year and kick off 2015. I was reviewing the NAHB report from October 2014. The Heading is” Remodeling Market Index Reclaims All-Time High. The report stated that this is the 6th quarter where the RMI reading is above 50 with the latest quarter being at 58. All this points to a very positive year in 2015 and I hope each of us is ready to take on the tasks.

The end of the year is also a time of housekeeping, budgeting, planning and generally re grouping for the year ahead. It’s a great time to review the past years projects with a critical eye and decide what we did well and where we could improve. I believe that self-accountability is what makes each of us stronger and better, personally and professionally. As each of us as builders and associates grow and improve so does our Remodelers Council. Our council is ranked 33 nationally as of 2014, however it’s not just about the numbers it’s about the professionalism of those involved and how we conduct our business and that of the Remodelers Council.

We are continuing to move forward with our VA Project. I would like to thank those who been involved with the planning and approval process so far, Barry Houck, Steve McSwaim and Bob Vaughn. This has been very tedious process and we hope to gain approval this year and to begin construction soon. This is a way for each of us to give back to our community and help meet the needs of others. We look forward to working with everyone and will continue to give updates as this project moves forward.

At our Board Planning retreat Ron Ricci, our 2015 HBA President, discussed one of his goals for the upcoming year was getting our members involved with continuing education and professional certifications. I agree with Ron on this, I feel that as professionals in our fields it is very important to continue to learn and attain theses professional certifications offered in our industry. As we grow and stay on top of the newest trends and methods, the products and services we provide will reflect the effort and time put into that education process this will indeed put us at the top of our fields. So please as we begin to offer classes take advantage of them. I hope to see you there.

In closing, I would like to thank Barry for all he has accomplished in 2014 and also all of you in the remodelers’ council. It is a great group, one that has proven to me to be willing to share and help each other out. I look forward to continuing that in 2015.

Using Design Services in Your Business Jamie L. Whitman, CID, NKBAStock Building Supply - 336-782-3030

I get asked all the time by builders, what will make my house stand out from the rest? As an interior designer with many years in the business, my answer is: “Quality and Design” We all have budgets to work within to get the house built and turn a profit. We all pick and choose what goes into the quality of the construction in what we build. The finishing touches show the most; including the Flooring, Windows and Doors, the Wall color, Trim, Bath Fixtures and the Cabinetry. All are important aspects of design. You want the interior to be a reflection of the exterior. You want to spend enough to get the job done, but you also want a home that will last. As an Interior Designer, I can help you pull all of this together.

Every design must meet 3 criteria: Function, Aesthetics and Budget, to start we can work on the plan. Does the kitchen make sense? Is there a good flow within the work triangle? Is there a prep area? Enough counter top close by the range to use a cutting board or mixing bowl while stirring your pot. Does the clean up area make sense? I like to look at the traffic pattern from the most used dining table to the sink. Is the dishwasher in the way? I like to see a traffic pattern of Dirty dishes set down, passed through the sink then loaded in the dishwasher. Are your cabinets useful, can you reach what you need in the work area? Pull out trays are helpful to quickly get what you need from the bottom shelf. Soft close dovetail drawers are a wonderful addition to any kitchen project. Then we have “The Look” of the kitchen cabinets. Door styles and Cabinet finishes should complement the rest of the interior and exterior finishes. Painted cabinetry is big business today compared to 10 years ago. Simple Door styles are trending today. Granite or Quartz counter tops are the first choice of homeowners with backsplashes to give that pop of color and design element to the project.

Cabinets come in a variety of qualities that will fit any budget. It’s all up to you. Computer aided drawing (CAD) can give you an idea of what the design will look like before you purchase. As a home builder, your name and reputation is very important to generate referrals and repeat business. If you are able to give more options in these areas you will have a “Happy Homeowner” in the long run. Our next generation of homebuyers is more sophisticated. They are tech savvy, with more access to the internet and being able quickly to shop for their needs. They are more educated and informed of the building process.

Using design services to pull your project together to work with your homebuyer is a smart way to manage your time and get the result your buyer wants. Do you speak cabinetry? Can you take the time to explain options so that the client will understand their choices? Can you give them the best design and layout for their money? A designer can save you time and money overall by guiding your client through the design process, helping you keep the project on time and within budget.

Growing our Strength through Member Recruitment, Retention and Involvement

Gray Busch, Busch Insurance Services, Inc. 2015 Spike Club Chairperson336-760-1516

“Imagine everyone’s potential as the guy on the ground.”

- Pete Blaber (The Mission, The Men, and Me)

Pete Blaber is a strong supporter of the guy on the ground having the most up- to-date information available to do a successful job. As a former Delta Force Commander (in the field) Pete recognized and utilized the concept of like minded individuals working towards the goal. This involves rolling up sleeves and getting into the mix. As we move into the New Year, it feels like things are back up and moving. In many areas we see more growth, jobsites, flowing resources and phone lines ringing. Now is a great time to take a look around and ask ourselves and those who we work with, what else can we learn? How can we continue to move forward positively? Blaber’s insights can directly apply to involvement within our HBA. Those who invest themselves into the HBA and a committee may be well rewarded with new friends, business partners and opportunity.Great teamwork and great leadership in SPIKE led to a large increase in new membership in 2014. Those new members were greeted by ambassadors and welcome packages to help them understand the value of being the “guy/gal on the ground.” We will continue this service for our new arrivals in 2015. For anyone who would like to learn more about what SPIKE does, I’m happy to meet you at the association office for a cup of coffee and fill you in on one of the best Home Builders Association committees. Just give me a call at 760-1516 and we’ll set it up.

2015 Meeting ScheduleJanuary 6 February 3 March 3

The year 2014 has been a very busy and successful time for the Professional Women in Building Group. We have been involved in our philanthropic work for groups such as New Borns in Need, The Shepherds Center, The Ronald McDonald House, the Educators Warehouse, and Stop Child Abuse Now. We will have our business meeting in February, where we will start planning our philanthropic activities for 2015. We look forward to continuing our charitable role in 2015, for the HBAWS and the local community.

As we were winding down the last couple of months of 2014, our group was involved in a fundraiser event, in which we partnered up with Innisbrook Wraps. We sold wrapping paper, bags, and other seasonal items. Thanks to everyone involved, for all your efforts in supporting our fundraiser. At our Christmas Social in December, fun was had by all at the great Lissara Lodge facility. It has become a ritual of great food, close fellowship, and “dirty-santa” gift exchanges.In January, we will have our annual “Kick-Off the Year” painting party at Uncorked Masterpiece in Reynolda Village, where there will be several guests in attendance. Our guests will have the opportunity to come visit with us, and consider joining our group. As always, we invite all women associated with any of our HBAWS members to come and be a part of our dynamic group of women.

As we head in to February, everyone will be ramping up for the Triad Home and Garden Show. At the show, The Professional Women in Building will have a booth to sponsor our annual fundraiser for the Lewis & Wanda Wilson Educational Scholarships. This year, we had the privilege of honoring two students attending FTCC with a $500 scholarship, to go towards their educational needs. Our partnership with the VocEd committee is always striving to help kids from the Career Center and Forsyth Tech towards their educational goals in the construction industry. We will be collecting donations for our auction and raffle in the months of January and February. All donations will help assist in our fundraising endeavor, and are very much appreciated.

On a final note, a big “Thank You” goes to Karen Holcomb for doing such a fantastic job serving as our 2014 President of the Professional Women in Building. You have been a great mentor, confidant, friend, spokeswoman, and so much more to us all. We wish you much success in your new role as Vice-President of the HBAWS.

Political SpotlightCouncil Member Jeff MacIntosh, Northwest Ward

This month’s Political Spotlight article comes from Council Member Jeff MacIntosh. We decided to ask Council Member MacIntosh some personal and professional questions to give you a little more insight into who he is and what has made him the REALTOR/Elected Official he is today!

1. What were your favorite books, movies, movie stars, sports heroes, singers during your childhood?a. Anything by Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov or any other Sci-Fi writer of the era, anything I could get my hands on, really.b. The Who and David Bowie.c. The Philadelphia Flyers (a.k.a. the Broad Street Bullies), Green Bay Packers, NY Yankees.d. Woodstock, A Man Called Horse, Catch-22, Kelly’s Heroes and many more.

2. Where is a favorite place you have traveled to?New Zealand. Without a doubt the most beautiful and inviting country we have been to. Scotland a close second and anywhere in France would be third.

3. What makes you laugh?a. My wife, Susan. For many and varied reasons.

4. What do you think will be the biggest challenges or what do you think will change in the Winston-Salem area over the next few years?a. I believe we are on the cusp of significant growth in Winston Salem. This will be really positive but will also create change and as we know change isn’t universally accepted. The challenge will be how to accommodate growth while respecting property rights and people’s right to quiet enjoyment of their property. All this while providing services at as low a cost as possible to the tax payers.

5. Why did you decide to run for elected office?a. I was in a good place professionally and personally to be able to devote the time I thought it would take to run for office and provide the attention that people in my ward deserve. I think my skill set was a good match for the job; REALTORS® have to know what is affecting the city in order to best represent their clients. To a degree public office is just an extension of that. Also having been involved in neighborhood associations for many, many years introduced me to a large percentage of city staff and elected officials and gave me an outside view of how city government works. It seemed like the right time for me to give back to a city that has been very good to me and my family.

6. What comes easiest to you as a councilman?a. Listening.

7. What’s the hardest thing for you about being a councilman? How do you address that?a. Giving short answers to complicated questions. My mom, dad, brother and younger sister are, or were, teachers. I know that profession has rubbed off on me. I think a lot of my success in all of my jobs has been my ability to teach people things they aren’t familiar with.
