Now is the time for SIBA members to ask, require and demand their suppliers and subcontractors join and maintain their membership in S IBA. I t makes th i s organization stronger for you!

Annual dues are $680, which pales quickly in comparison to the benefits and services the Builders Association provides

its members. In addition to savings and rebates available to offset the cost, members can benefit from the networking, education, and information SIBA provides on a regular schedule.

While you’re recruiting, if you hear an obnoxious whining “What has SIBA done for me?” show them the list below of recent accomplishments by our government affairs efforts. Be sure to let them know how important these are to your business, and how that streams directly into their business. And remind them none of these happened by accident.

And none are possible without effective political action.

Go now, and check your rolodex, invoices, and payment orders to see who gets your business. Verify they are listed on the SIBA roster at the back pages of this newsletter. If they are not listed, get that fixed!

Contractors belong in SIBA, where Membership Doesn't Cost... IT PAYS!

July is a great time for Membership Round-Up!

With Heavy Hearts, we remember several people whom we recently lost. Please share a note of sympathy when you see family and friends of these individuals.

Bruce Miller, SIBA Builder and developer, passed away on June 19. He was 74. After a successful career at St. Mary’s Medical Center, Bruce worked in home building alongside his sons Chris and

Aaron, both of whom serve in leadership roles for SIBA. Bruce was often the calm voice of reason in determining best policies for the industry and community growth. He will be missed.

Butch Hahn passed away on June 6. Butch and his brother (Gary Hahn) started and operated Hahn Brothers Drywall. Butch is uncle to Bart Hahn, who now works for the drywall company and

is involved in SIBA activities. Butch also was a supporter of SIBA and played in the golf outing many years.

SIBA condolences to SIBA Past President Dan Buck, whose father, Alfred Buck passed away on June 5. Al was 91 years old, and was proud to have played basketball for Bosse High School’s state championship team in 1945. He taught many years in the EVSC, mostly at Bosse High School.

We are sorry that Dennis Butcher, Kight Home Center, passed away on June 3. Dennis worked many years as a purchasing agent and loved working to support home builders. Dennis was an

avid golfer and regular player in SIBA’s annual outings. Dennis is survived by his wife of 47 years, Pam Butcher; son, Shane (Kimberly) Butcher; grandson, Brennan; mother, Velma Hardin; brothers,

Eddie Hardin, Jeff Hardin and Ernie Hardin; and his sister, Lafonda Hart

Builder Confidence Surges in June as Housing Rebound is Underway

In a sign that housing stands poised to lead a post-pandemic economic recovery, builder confidence in the market for newly-built single-family homes jumped 21 points to 58 in June, according to the latest NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) released today. Any reading above 50 indicates a positive market.

“As the nation reopens, housing is well-positioned to lead the economy forward,” said NAHB Chairman Dean Mon. “Inventory is t ight, mortgage applications are increasing, interest rates are low and confidence is rising. And buyer traffic more than doubled in one month even as builders report growing online and phone inquiries

stemming from the outbreak.”“Housing clearly shows signs

of momentum as challenges and opportunities exist in the single-family market,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “Builders report increasing demand for families seeking single-family homes in inner and outer suburbs that feature lower density neighborhoods. At the same time, elevated unemployment and the risk of new, local virus outbreaks remain a risk to the housing market.”

Derived from a monthly survey that NAHB has been conducting for 30 years, the NAHB/Wells Fargo HMI gauges builder perceptions of current single-family home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as “good,” “fair” or “poor.” The survey also asks builders to rate traffic of

prospective buyers as “high to very high,” “average” or “low to very low.” Scores for each component are then used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor.

All the HMI indices posted gains in June. The HMI index gauging current sales conditions jumped 21 points to 63, the component measuring sales expectations in the next six months surged 22 points to 68 and the measure charting traffic of prospective buyers vaulted 22 points to 43.

Looking at the monthly average regional HMI scores, the Northeast surged 31 point to 48, the South jumped 20 points to 62, the Midwest posted a 19-point gain to 51 and the West catapulted 22 points to 66.

At the June 23 meeting, the Vanderburgh Commissioners passed an ordinance that developers say is vital to building affordable housing. The process known as Planned Unit Development “(“PUD”) can provide huge benefits to home building. In this effort, SIBA has been working with key officials on a policy that will allow residential developments to happen quicker, and with greater f lexibil i ty.

It all began with the need for smaller lots in new subdivisions – a cost-cutting factor for development standards that is sweeping the country. Developers agree lot sizes and a streamlined approval process are critical factors in providing workforce housing. These are homes that are affordable to households who are employed in our community, and are limited by strict lending regulations.

Wo r k s t a r t e d w i t h t h e Vanderburgh Commissioners to

reduce minimum lot sizes. The effort gained momentum when it evolved to modernizing the path for PUD’s. Developing via a PUD provides more flexibility than the subdivision control ordinance, but it attaches a zoning ordinance to allow for relaxation. This new ordinance, now passed as city and county policy, increases the flexibility for development plans, including lot sizes, building envelopes, and streets dimensions, etc. Further, it creates simultaneous paths of approval where the development plan and the zoning can be approved quickly.

Ron London, APC Director, estimated if a project is designed well, it’s possible this new timeline could get project-approval in about 45 days. London said they reviewed other communities, near and far, and got advice on what state law allows for efficiency. He credits APC’s consultant as well as SIBA volunteers

for coming together on a good policy.Evansville City Council and

Mayor Winnecke approved the ordinance earlier, and it is likely to benefit certain areas inside city limits, where lot-configurations can be very tricky in established neighborhoods. Often, older neighborhoods won’t allow for today’s standards and requirements.

This ordinance is one of about a dozen that have been passed during the last year and a half. Needs for changes came from builders, developers, lenders, and engineering firms. Of course, leaders from the Commissioners, City Council and Mayor have played large roles in improving the policies, as well as department heads.

I n t h e r e s i d e n t i a l construction industry, a safe work environment and well-written, up-to-date safety program isn’t optional; it’s essential. Not only does it keep employees healthy and safe, but it can stave off huge losses, including everything from workers’ compensation to equipment issues, administrative costs and even periods of low productivity.

B u i l d e r B o o k s , t h e publishing arm of NAHB, recently released the fourth edition of its Jobsite Safety Handbook to help home builders navigate and comply with the latest OSHA requirements and keep workers safe on the jobsite.

The comprehensive guide, that features both English and Spanish translations, describes how those in the residential construction industry can comply with OSHA regulations while focusing on the most common

hazards found on jobsites. It also covers the key issues residential builders and trade contractors need to focus on to reduce accidents and injuries.

The pocket-sized handbook includes a series of general safety tips that are explained in s imple terms and are accompanied by illustrated, colorful examples of common best practices that can be incorporated into a company’s safety and health programs.

“The health and safety of our workers is the top priority on any jobsite,” said NAHB Chairman Dean Mon, a home builder and developer from Shrewsbury, N.J. “The new edition of this handbook is a great resource that covers key safety issues and offers concise tips for complying with OSHA regulations t o keep worke r s s a fe .”

With clear illustration and color photographs, the

Jobsite Safety Handbook includes new information on topics such as: •Fall protection for roofing work and around openings •Personal Protective Equipment •Working in confined spaces •Heat and cold stress •Hazardous materials and silica •First aid and medical services •Employer duties, including training and protective equipment

For more information and resources on construction safety, OSHA compliance and other safety guidelines, visit nahb.org.

Jobsite Safety Handbook, Fourth Edition, is available for purchase at BuilderBooks.com.

BUILDER REBATES

SIBA contractors are pocketing extra money in the IBA Rebates program. In this program, manufacturers are rewarding builders and remodelers for installing selected products for building and remodeling projects. Reporting has been streamlined, and receipts aren’t needed for most products. It’s so simple and the money really adds up quickly - - some are getting paid more than their dues. Others are getting over $1,000 each year!
