QUOTABLEThe unemployment rate inched up to 5.7 percent in January from 5.6 percent in December, which is in fact a positive development as this change was due to more individuals seeking work. In January, home builders and remodelers added 20,100 jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis. Over the last 12 months, the industry has created 162,000 jobs.

The revised FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map was adopted on Jan. 16, 2015. Flood insurance is mandatory for mortgaged structures in the Special Flood Hazard Area. Check www.fargofloodinsurance.com for map updates.

In December, Fargo’s City Commission adopted revisions to its floodproof foundation requirements. HBA of F-M leaders involved with preparatory meetings on these changes were not presented an opportunity to review the final document and were surprised to find troubling changes affecting cost. Association leaders are working with Fargo’s engineering and inspections departments to iron out issues and provide education to the industry on the changes so contractors can prepare accurate bids and planning for projects.

Last month, Fargo learned it would be allowed to continue participating in FEMA’s “basement exception” which allows construction of homes with basements even though they are in the floodplain. Due to the no basement failures for over 40 years, and strict floodproof foundation standards, FEMA will allow the exception until the floodplain is revised again.

The 2015 Minnesota Building Code became effective Jan. 24. A new provision requires fire sprinklers in certain housing types and sizes including two-family dwellings, townhouses and single-family dwellings of 4,500 square feet or more.

The 2015 Minnesota Energy Code was scheduled to become effective Feb. 14. Home builders should be aware of the changes regarding foundation insulation and blower door testing requirements.

Minnesota contractors who are members of the HBA of F-M have access to the Builders Association of Minnesota’s members-only website at www.bamn.org. BAM’s code guides are valued at over $10,000, and they will help you navigate and comply with the new codes.
