NEWSBRIEF

The Official Newsletter of the Home Builders Association of Greater Southwest IL

The Voice of the Homebuilding and Remodeling Industries in Southwest Illinois. Representing

Bond, Calhoun, Clinton, Greene, Jersey, Madison, Monroe, Randolph and St. Clair Counties

HBA Presidential Year in Review Upon reflection, 2016 seems to have been a year that was filled with many challenges and many accomplishments for our organization. During my installation speech last January I challenged every member to recruit one new member this year. That did not occur, however, we did realize an increase in membership and an average of 90% retention, which reverses a declining number over the past several years. Thank you to the new members that helped us achieve this success and the members that recruited them.

What I would consider the most unfortunate loss to our region, was the decision to build the next NGA site in north St. Louis. It was a huge disappointment not only for members of our association, but for the entire Metro East. However, the Municipal Assistance Committee was instrumental in working with Edwardsville, Glen Carbon and Madison County on revising the I-55 Development Code which was adopted in July of this year. They also have been involved with other municipalities providing input and guidance as their committees and boards navigate the complexities of adopting, in whole or part, building codes and ordinances. Most recently, Troy , IL is revising their Subdivision Ordinance and our committee is there providing guidance and expertise to assist them.

Our Professional Women in Building Council continues to impress. Hosting private lunches with Troy Mayor Allen Adomite and O’ Fallon Mayor Gary Graham. They also held their inaugural “Power Women Luncheon” featuring two very successful women, from the state of Illinois, Colonel Laura L. Lenderman, SAFB and Kristina Rasmussen, President and COO of the Illinois Policy Institute. These along with other activities have raised thousands of dollars allowing them to provide scholarships for local female students in the home building and remodeling industries.

The New Homes on Parade Open House Event with the implementation of “Parade Craze”, an app downloaded on a smart

phone; not only was successful and reached even more potential home buyers, especially millennials.

Our local HBA published the “Building Industry Laws You Should Know” book and provided this to all members. This will continue to be a benefit to members for years to come.

On a national level in 2016, Home Builder and Developer, Ed Brady, from Bloomington, IL served as Chairman of the National Association of Home Builders and is being considered for the next commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration. The Presidential election gives us President Donald Trump, with his significant background in the building industry. While addressing NAHB attendees at the mid-year meeting in August zeroed in on issues of concern to the industry, particularly regulations that he said today represent 25% of the cost of building a home. He indicated that he would declare a temporary moratorium on new agency regulations and lower the cost for homebuilders.

On the state level our own Mark Vogt, Vogt Builders has moved up the HBAI leadership to become its Treasurer. Tracy Butler our Executive Officer received the “Presidents Award” from outgoing President Dean Graven, for her work on the afore mentioned book. Earlier this year Bob Dee Jr., Homes by Deesign, represented us in a roundtable discussion consisting of MetroEast business owners with Governor Rauner.

Finally, we will once again be honored with providing assistance to our members of the armed forces during the return of the Air Show & Open House as Scott Air Force Base celebrates 100 years of continuous operation.

As much as we have accomplished this year, many are left out of

this review, I feel we have set into motion many other exciting

improvements to our organization; that will come to fruition in the

coming months and years. It has been an honor and a privilege to

have been given this opportunity to serve you and I look forward to

the many changes that new leadership will bring. God Bless all of

you, your families and businesses. I feel most would be

disappointed if I did not end this with a hearty, “GO BIG RED”!

Federal Judge Blocks Overtime Rule

In a major victory for NAHB, a federal judge in Texas on Nov. 22 granted a preliminary

injunction to delay implementation of the Department of Labor’s new overtime rule.

The rule, which was scheduled to take effect Dec. 1, would double the minimum salary limit

from $23,660 to $47,476.

NAHB joined other business groups in filing a legal challenge to the overtime rule on Sept. 20

in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In addition, 21 states have also

filed suit challenging the rule and the two lawsuits have been consolidated.

While the injunction is only temporary, the ruling by Judge Amos Mazzant sent a strong signal

that he could likely side with NAHB and our business coalition.

Had the rule gone into effect on Dec. 1, it would have had significant ramifications for many

employers, including home building firms and not-for-profits, such as HBAs.

According to NAHB analysis, nearly 100,000 construction supervisors would be eligible for

overtime under the new rules.

As NAHB keeps working toward permanent relief, we will continue to provide our members

with the tools they need to comply with the new overtime requirements in the event that the

court rules against NAHB, our business coalition and the 21 state attorneys general.

For more information, contact Suzanne Beall at 800-368-5242 x8407.

NAHB’s Legal Victory Blocks “Persuader” Rule

NAHB scored an important legal victory on Nov. 16 when the U.S. District Court for the

Northern District of Texas granted the association and other groups a permanent stay on the

Department of Labor’s final “persuader” rule.

The rule would unfairly discourage employers from receiving confidential legal advice con-

cerning union organizing because it required employers to disclose the names of lawyers and

consultants to the Department of Labor (DOL).

In short, unions were seeking to prevent employers from talking to their lawyers in response

to union organizing. The court ruling essentially puts an end to the union effort.

With the permanent judgment now in place, the persuader rule will not go into effect unless

DOL appeals and a higher court overrules the lower court decision.

For more information, please contact Amy Chai at 800-368-5242 x8232 or Suzanne Beall at x8407.

No Quick Fixes for Builders as Trump Administration Takes Shape

NAHB is hard at work to assure that our members’ priorities are addressed when the new

Trump administration takes over on Jan. 20.

However, even when those priorities are in alignment with Trump’s campaign platform, none

of these changes can take place overnight.

Some, tied up in litigation or involving multiple agencies and branches of government, may

take years.

Regardless, NAHB government affairs, regulatory and legal staff is already preparing.

Leaders have had extensive discussions and sent background information to the Trump team

about a number of significant issues, including President Obama’s executive order that drasti-

cally changes development rules in and around floodplains.

Though NAHB cannot be certain as to what will change, or how quickly changes will occur,

the association sees the new administration and Republican-controlled Congress as a tremen-

dous opportunity.

NAHB’s advocacy team is well-prepared to respond to the new political environment.

Read NAHB’s analysis for a closer look at the 2016 election results.

Housing Market Index –

The index, which measures

builder confidence in the market

for newly built single-family

homes, held steady at 63 in

November, the same level as the

October reading of 63. Any

number over 50 indicates that

more builders view sales

conditions as good than poor.

NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz’s analysis: “A solid job market, a growing

economy and attractive mortgage rates are supporting demand in the single-family housing sector

and will keep the housing recovery on a gradual, upward trajectory as we head into next year.

However, builders in many markets continue to face supply-side constraints, particularly as they

relate to the high-cost and lack of availability of lots and labor.”

Fire sprinkler mandates will stay in the International Residential Code, but builders and developers will see other

construction cost savings after more than 162,000 votes were cast for 577 proposals on the ballot for the International

Code Council’s 2016 Online Governmental Consensus Vote, which ended Nov. 27.

After weeks of phone calls and personal visits, NAHB members were successful in pushing the results to reflect the

point of view of the code official, rather than that of the product manufacturer.

“This shows the value of our association as the consistent voice for safe, cost-effective construction – and being the

voice for home buyers,” said NAHB Construction, Codes and Standards Chairman Phil Hoffman.

The preliminary results await a January audit and confirmation by the ICC Board of Directors. Here are the highlights

2018 International Residential Codes & Energy CONSERVATION Code Updates

International Residential Code (IRC)

RB17-16 revises the seismic design category map,

moving some areas of the country into in a higher

category. NAHB opposed this proposal, but it was

approved. Estimated Increase: $2,483-$6,196 per

house.

RB19-16 would have revised the ground snow load

map. Affected regions would have required thicker roof

sheathing and changes to rafters and headers. NAHB

opposed this proposal, and it was defeated. Estimated

Savings: $1,014-$1,652 per house.

RB26-16 & RB27-16 would have significantly

increased the design live load for decks and balconies of

homes to support 60psf instead of the current 40psf

requirement. NAHB opposed these proposals, and they

were defeated. Estimated Savings: $75-$154 per house.

RB52-16 would have required duplexes that are

divided by a legal lot line to be separated by two

independent, one-hour fire-resistance-rated walls,

instead of a single, two-hour fire-resistance-rated wall.

NAHB opposed this proposal, and it was defeated.

Estimated Savings: $1,097 – $3,803 per house.

RB129-16 would have removed the requirement to

install a fire sprinkler system from Section R313 of the

IRC and moved it into a new optional appendix. NAHB

supported this proposal, but it was disapproved.

Estimated Increase: $6,026 per house (If adopted

locally).

RB278-16 would have required that either an

airspace or a manufactured rainscreen product be

installed behind the siding on homes in wet climate

zones. NAHB opposed this proposal, and it was

defeated. Estimated Savings: $286-$3,680 per house.

International Energy Conservation Code

(IECC)

RE35-16 would have increased the requirements for

the energy efficiency of windows. NAHB opposed the

proposal, and it was defeated. Estimated Savings: $584-

$1,563 per house.

RE58-16 would have removed the mandatory 3 and 5

ACH50 building tightness requirements and made it

possible to trade-off building tightness in the

performance path without reducing the stringency of the

code. Unfortunately, this proposal was defeated.

RE79-16 would have modified the IECC air barr ier

table by adding a new requirement to fully encapsulate

rim joist insulation. NAHB opposed this proposal, and it

was defeated. Estimated Savings: $351-$555 per house

RE134-16 would have allowed mechanical equipment

trade-offs. If more efficient equipment is specified, the

envelope insulation levels can be reduced by up to 15%.

If this code change had been approved, the potential

savings would have been $217-$1,425 per house.

RE173-16 br ings the ERI values more in line with the

IECC prescriptive path. The values will still be about 20-

25% more stringent than the prescriptive path. The

current values in the 2015 IECC are about 30-35% more

stringent than the prescriptive path. NAHB supported

this code change, and it was approved.

CE105-16 would have required air leakage testing by

fan pressurization for buildings over a certain size and in

specific climate zones. NAHB opposed this proposal,

and it was defeated. Estimated Savings: $2,000-$10,000

per multifamily building.
