National Excellence in Construction Eagle Award
BY: Jeff Leieritz, ABC Writer
Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) announced that Wayne Brothers Inc.’s work on the BB&T
Ballpark project in Charlotte, N.C., has earned the company an Eagle Award in the Other Specialty Construction:
Commercial - More than $10 million category of ABC’s Excellence in Construction Awards.
Representatives from the company received the award March 5 during the 25th annual Excellence in
Construction Awards celebration in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
“Wayne Brothers and their team truly embraced the values of ABC and merit shop construction—innovation,
quality and safety—during their work on the BB&T Ballpark and that’s why I’m honored to
award them with an Excellence in Construction Eagle Award in the Other Specialty Construction: Commercial
- More than $10 million category,” said 2015 ABC National Chairman Pamela Volm, president
of Annapolis Contracting, Inc., Annapolis, Md. “This project is an outstanding example of how teamwork
and quality craftsmanship and perseverance can result in a project that we are called to claim as
merit shop.”
Wayne Brothers completed the turnkey site work and concrete packages for a LEED-certified minor
league ballpark located in the heart of Charlotte—relying on BIM to resolve issues offsite, coordinate
rebar detailing and build custom formwork for the bleachers.
The Excellence in Construction awards program is the industry’s leading competition, developed to
honor innovative and high-quality merit shop construction projects. The award honors all construction
team members, including the contractor, owner, architect and engineer. The winning projects, selected
from entries submitted from across the nation, were judged on complexity, attractiveness, unique challenges
overcome, completion time, workmanship, innovation, safety and cost.
A panel of industry experts served as the competition’s judges. This year’s panel included representatives
from the Design-Build Institute of America, Engineering News-Record, the American Institute of
Architects, and the National Association of Women in Construction, and representatives from higher
education, among others. Isaiah Wayne and William Mitchell accepted the award on behalf of Wayne
Brothers at the 25th Annual Excellence in Construction Awards program on March 5, 2015 in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. Also in attendance was WBI’s Milton Chicas who also attended the ABC’s Workforce
Conference, Candy Wayne, and Sonya Mitchell.

Business Development
By: Shannon Sapp, Business Development Manager
Business Development at Wayne Brothers has always been about two things, relationships and growth.
A belief of establishing a trusting relationship with a client brings continued growth for the company.
In the beginning, it was Bobby and Keith running the roads during the day and estimating projects at
night. Always focused on commercial construction, they relied on past customers from their general
construction days in the beginning, but soon developed clients that are still with us today. Early work
included site concrete, churches, and the Fieldcrest Cannon Mills. But after a decade of splitting the
BD/estimating role, growth became hindered and the first full time estimator was hired in the mid 90’s.
Success followed us through the millennia and soon BD needed a full time person. Tim Waddell was
hired in late 2002 and lead Wayne Brothers in new directions. A friend of the company already, Tim
knew the importance of relationships but was tasked with providing new growth. One of Tim’s first
opportunities stretched the company’s boundaries and led the largest project to date with Sterilyte
in 2004. Determined to expand the awareness of Wayne Brothers, in 2004 a new marketing plan
was established. It included the launching a new website and new branding ideas (wrapped vehicles,
trade shows, and signage). Tim strengthened relationships with both new and existing clients; leading
Wayne Brothers to doubling revenues and experiencing some of its greatest growth to date.
I came on brink of the downturn in late 2009. Wayne Brothers was looking for a new revenue stream
with special projects direct with the end-user. A turn of events changed when 8 months in, Tim decided
to pursue new career. My focus changed to the subcontract construction that was our mainstay.
I to, as Tim had done years early, launched a new website and new branding strategy in 2011 in hopes
to prod new growth. In the middle 2012, as our revenue had returned to the pre-recession level, it was
determined help was needed to continue the growth curve. Mark Muller, another friend of Wayne
Brothers, joined us in late of that year. Our growth has broken records ever since.
Now as we approach our 30th anniversary, WBI is position for even greater growth. BD has developed
an aggressive strategic plan that will build on relationships and new areas of growth. From Mark and
I who do it fulltime, we want to thank everyone at Wayne Brothers for your part in helping ensure we
have the most satisfied clients and the best opportunities. It is the great team in the field that makes it
so enjoyable.
Charleston Subcontractors Event
Recently, Wayne Brothers Inc. had the privilege of presenting
a program to the Charleston Subcontractors Association
on workforce development. It gave us the opportunity
to convey an important message to which there is no silver
bullet; the skills gap and labor shortage in our industry.
The point was emphasized that we as industry must do a
better job of communicating and conveying career opportunities
in the construction industry. Wayne Brothers is
doing our part in delivering training program to meet the
needs of our trades. But it will take a greater effort together
to change the image of industry and contribute even
greater growth to this nation.

Second Generation Shareholders
By: Keith Wayne, President/CEO
As the company approaches its 30th anniversary, the company’s current shareholders Bobby Phillips,
John Ashworth, Chad Hensley and Keith Wayne are excited to welcome Isaiah Wayne and Daniel
Wayne as new shareholders of Wayne Brothers, Inc.
As with any privately held company which proves itself capable of growing into a substantial business
operation, Wayne Brothers founding principles are faced with the challenge of approaching an age
when they must consider when and how they wish to leave their life’s work to a younger generation. In
our case we have been underway with the ownership transition planning for years through the careful
selection of key executives being offered the opportunity to become equity owners through their purchase
of stock in the business.
The time has arrived for the second generation of family members, who like the other shareholders
have been trained to understand the full range of construction skills required in order to be successful,
to come on board as equity owners of the business over the next several years. Ultimately it is planned
that Keith’s two sons would own the majority interests of the company at or before his full retirement.
With this transaction, Isaiah and Daniel are beginning this journey to a majority interest in the company
by a planned purchasing of Keith’s Shares over the coming years.
Keith expects to remain as President for some time yet and has not completed his role as the leader of
WBI just yet. He is particularly gratified in seeing his two sons take this important step in their business
career and is excited to be working with the Executive Team in crafting our next five year strategic plan
over the course of the next few months.
Isaiah currently serves on the Executive Committee and has also been a member of the Board of Directors
for the company since 2007. Isaiah will continue to serve as one of three Project Executives and
will focus his corporate management skills on the Workforce Development area of the business.
Page 4

Isaiah has worked with the company since his early teenage years and later worked for about one year
with another grading contractor, Earnhardt Grading as an equipment operator to gain experience in
a field outside our company owned business. He graduated from CPCC with an Associate Degree in
Construction Management while working in the field for WBI as foreman.
After obtaining this degree he continued to perform increasingly more demanding and important roles
within the company. Later becoming Project Manager then Senior Project Manager where he completed
numerous high profile, high demand projects successfully. He simultaneously helped us build the
other team members who worked with him in advancing their careers with the company.
Daniel currently serves on our Management Team as our Director of Technology. He will continue to
serve the company in this role and potentially train for other leadership roles of the future. Daniel began
his career with Wayne Brothers at an even younger age than his brother. He worked with our mechanics
in the original shop facility well before he was legal working age. After graduating from Northwest
High School he was laser focused on becoming what he considered the company’s most important
position of project superintendent. He worked through the field trades and became foremen and then
decided to pursue his Associate Degree from RCCC in Construction Management using our accredited
training program to achieve much of the required class credits. Daniel then changed his focus toward
becoming a Project Manager through our PMIT program and then quickly climbed the scale of project
management assignments. He ended up becoming a Senior Project Manager for us at the age of 27 after
managing what was at the time our largest contract. Over the past three years he has been tasked
with leading our technology planning and implementation and has done a stellar job in keeping us well
ahead in this area of expertise. Additionally this past year he delivered our new Headquarters facility
through his active management and design refinements of the facility.
We encourage the entire WBI family to reach out to congratulate Isaiah and Daniel and to welcome
them as the latest additions to the shareholder group. There is no doubt that the company is poised for
a more secure and prosperous future with the addition of their significant investment added to their
already valued service as team members.

History of Safety
In 2007, Wayne Brothers, Inc. began its journey to build a safer company. Prior to 2007 it was WBI’s intention
to provide a safe work environment for its employees and subcontractors but Safety was not the #1 priority. Over
the last eight years WBI has implemented several new safety initiatives, policies and procedures to help insure
that safety is the #1 priority on all of its projects. Some of those include criminal background checks for all new
hires, post-offer pre-employment fit-for-duty exams for all craft level employees, a two day new hire orientation
that includes OSHA 10 Hour training, daily pre-task planning, daily stretching routine and a 100% cut level 3
(or higher) glove policy. WBI recently reached the goal of having 100% of its employees with OSHA 10 and/or
30 Hour training. WBI strives daily to provide a safe work environment for its employees and subcontractors.
As part of the safety journey that begun in 2007 safety has become a #1 priority at Wayne Brothers. Now WBI’s
company culture truly reflects safety not just quality and production.
1 YEAR WITH NO LOST TIME!
Wayne Brothers Inc.’s efforts in safety have truly paid off. Since March 31, 2014 WBI has worked 812,164 hours
and 1 Year without a Lost Time accident! I would like to congratulate all of you for a job well done! It has taken
every one of you to achieve this success. I encourage all of you to continue watching out for and correcting any unsafe
act(s), unsafe behavior(s), and/or unsafe condition(s) in order to maintain a safe work area. Please continue
to encourage your employees to participate in hazard recognition techniques, such as the Safety Improvement
submissions, to help identify and eliminate potential hazards on our projects.
“Thanks to everyone for your support in our effort to “Safely Exceed Expectations”.
100% OSHA 10/OSHA 30 Trained
We are proud to announce that we have reached our goal of having 100% of our employees hold OSHA
10 and/or 30 HR cards! We began working on this goal 18 months ago. Thanks for everyone’s participation
in accomplishing this goal.
C-MESH Certified
We are pleased to announce Billy Honeycutt and Jason Sisk
have successfully completed the prestigious C-MESH certification.
They are now among a special group of professionals
who have earned the Construction Manager of Environmental
Safety and Health certificate from the Safety and Health
Council of North Carolina, NC State University, and the NC
Department of Labor. The MESH program is designed to increase
the professionalism of environmental, safety and health
managers of commercial, residential and governmental construction
sites in NC through a rigorous series of continuing
education programs. This program prepares managers for
keeping their worksites safe and healthy, and that preparation
improves employee protection and company productivity.
Congratulations on your achievement!

Most Influential
Wayne Brothers’ Keith Wayne was featured in the January
issue of Concrete Construction Magazine for being Most Influential
in the Concrete Industry. The following is an exert
from William D. Palmer Jr.’s article.
Taking risks is what contractors do—it’s how they make a living.
Taking extra risk by adopting new technology and ideas,
though, is something many contractors shy away from. Keith
Wayne, president of Wayne Brothers in Kannapolis, N.C.
doesn’t adopt new technology blindly, but he has been willing
to move forward a little earlier than most contractors
and that has been one secret to his company’s success. “I’m
a pretty harsh critic and skeptic about new technology,” he
says, “it must work well and consistently and be practical to
use in a broad range of applications.”
Today, Wayne Brothers is heavily into technology and new approaches, including building information
modeling (BIM), self-consolidating concrete, laser-guided equipment, modular European formwork,
and Ductilcrete floor slabs. “Ductilcrete is becoming more and more useful and accepted as the slabon-grade
of choice because of its ability to maintain its flatness over time, which a conventional slab
doesn’t, and to eliminate 70 to 75% of the joints, which minimizes the maintenance program since it’s
the joints that create the problems. I’m pretty pumped up about Ductilcrete.”
On the strength of that new business and a diversified approach, including site work and vertical forming,
Wayne Brothers broke into Engineering NewsRecord’s top 20 concrete firms in 2014. “We’re proud
of that but humble,” says Wayne. “We’ve had great blessings; good clients who continue to call to ask us
to work for them. The old adage works for us: the best way to sell your next job is your last job.” Wayne
Brothers works throughout the Southeast U.S. from offices in North Carolina and South Carolina.
One money-maker has been BIM. “We are using BIM extensively — on every job with only a few exceptions
for very small projects” says Wayne. “We start with the modeling on some projects during the
preconstruction phase and use it for estimating. The modeling is useful during negotiations, too, well
before we get to the field. In the construction phase, BIM helps us to manage conflicts and to modularize
construction activity which allows us to do some work in the shop so that less space is needed on the
jobsite.”
ALL IN THE FAMILY
Wayne Brothers is now moving into the next generation. “My two sons both work in the business,”
Wayne says. “Isaiah manages our strategic workforce issues including training. Daniel is the Director
of Technology. He was the project manager for our new operations center which we built ourselves.”
Wayne isn’t relying solely on family, though, there are three other partners who are all shareholders
and company leaders, which he believes will smooth out the company’s succession when he decides to
retire.

Performance Excellence Training Program
By: Milton Chicas, Training Manager
We have all heard about the construction worker shortage, and even more concerning the possibility
that our industry is not adjusting rapidly to the exponential growth and the need for craft workers.
Despite all the challenges that you might have heard related to a formalized training program for construction
companies, the reality is that such ambitions can become a daunting task if one is not aware
of the magnitude of this pursuit. It might be easy to succumb to all the possible challenges you could
possibly face in participating in such a program and become discouraged.
An effective formalized training program can be achieved with strategic planning and careful selection
of training options. Success doesn’t come as a coincidence as it is a result of creative thinking, strategic
vision and hard work. Our company has invested a great deal of time and effort in fine tuning a program
that addresses our training and educational needs and, as of recent, the needs of the community.
Back in 2001 Wayne Brothers embarked on the goal of establishing an educational plan for craft training.
The program has now evolved to multiple training options such as carpentry, heavy equipment,
layout, form systems, rigging operations, supervisory training, leadership and management, safety
courses and many more. The courses are tailored to the cognitive needs as well as geographical requirements.
Our effort has resulted in improved performance, higher employee retention and increased
efficiency.
Page 8

The goal for the near future is to develop a fully operational industrial park with training as a centerpiece
where we can provide hands on training delivered with the same equipment that we use at our
major job sites; as well as involving the craft skills and specialized methods used in large construction
projects. Now with the combined effort of our company leadership and our partners we are closer and
closer to reaching our goal. The Claude Wayne Building Institute, an initiative that grew from the need
of providing the necessary skills for the community, is now about to come to fruition as a complete and
well-designed major effort for the training options in the southeast.
The future location of the Claude Wayne Building Institute will be adjacent to our new headquarters.
This will turn our training facility into a wireless internet access site where we can also demonstrate
and train on the specific communications and technological tools currently being used at constructions
sites. The link between our Building Information Models (BIM) and the practical application is just one
of the many training options that we will implement.
We recognize the needs of our industry and we would like to contribute to the betterment of the families
of those who work with their hands. We intend to accomplish this by providing effective and meaningful
education related to heavy commercial construction at the beginning and subsequently expand to
other trades, such as electrical, HVAC, plumbing, etc. Our commitment of Safely Exceeding Expectations
and improving the communities where we live and work is our promise to our customers and to
our workforce.

Cabela’s Retail Store
By: John Vaughan, Project Manager
Wayne Brothers Inc. was excited to be awarded the Turnkey building and site concrete packages for the
Cabela’s Retail store located in Fort Mill, SC. CDI Contractors awarded us the contract and we were
excited to be working for them again. This project was a little extra special because the site selected for
the Cabela’s Retail store was the location of job #01 for Wayne Brothers when the company was established
back in 1985. The “Outlet Marketplace” then later named “Plaza Fiesta Carolinas” was the first
project for Wayne Brothers. It’s been interesting and entertaining hearing the stories from the folks at
the office who were involved with that project 30 years ago. All the comments usually start and finish
with “we’ve come a long way since then”.
The Cabela’s Retail store had an very aggressive schedule and Wayne Brothers was usually able to better
the dates on the schedule. The interior isle ways and other showcase areas in the store are exposed
polished concrete. Our client and owner had very high expectations for the quality of the concrete floors
in these areas. Wayne Brothers completed these high tolerance/high quality floors without any defects.
The plaza site concrete pavement that extends the full length of the store was treated as Architectural
concrete. This required a consistent medium broom finish and we also installed decorative beveled
sawcuts in this area. It turned out great. Thanks to everyone involved who made this project a success.

Civil & Infrastructure Group Update
By: Jim Rhodes, Civil & Infrastructure Group Manager
WBI’s Civil and Infrastructure group (WBICI) recently started a project on site where the geo-tech
report indicated the potential need for significant un-rippable rock removal. As WBICI went through
the preconstruction process, minimal available soil borings were entered into our take-off software
to determine the amount of rock on site and locations. Based on the info gathered, the engineer and
owner were able to evaluate their needs and associated design in order to mitigate the amount of rock
encountered before WBICI ever arrived on site.
Once WBICI mobilized, the first order of business was to pre-drill the entire site and confirm the quantities
that were derived from the geo-tech report. As is sometimes the case, it was found that many of
the borings missed some the below existing grade rock due to the fact that the strata had many more
peaks and valleys than would normally be seen on a similar site. This fact doubled the amount of expected
rock on site. All of the rock was mapped and entered into the GPS site model that WBICI was
P.12

An excavator loads a jaw crusher while sitting on a pile of shot rock
using to build the project. This knowledge allowed the project team to re-evaluate plans on building the
project and how best to mitigate cost as they related to rock, while pushing the schedule forward with
as little impact as possible.
The site was designed to balance so all the rock material was needed on site. To avoid the expense
and need for import, the large quantity of rock was crushed onsite. This activity allowed the project to
save what would have been an added cost to the project but it also allowed us to assess if there may be
additional savings to offset the added rock costs. Segmented retaining walls were converted to gabion
basket walls. Select fills and erosion control stone were processed on site. By adding a 3 way screen to
the end of the crushing operation, the project team was able to make the gabion rock that was necessary
for the basket walls, while at the same time production erosion control stone and select fill.
In the end, WBI’s Civil and Infrastructure group was able utilize its technological expertise along with
it site grading acumen to help the client reduce added costs, troubleshoot its design as it related to the
existing rock and hold as close as possible to the original schedule once the course of action was determined.
Wayne Brothers, Inc is proud to announce that Ryan Lindsey has
been promoted to Project Manager in the Civil & Infrastructure
Group. Ryan has worked with Wayne Brothers, in a PE/PMIT
roll, since he was in a junior in college. We’re excited for, not
only Ryan’s growth, but the opportunity it will provide for the
Group and Company to grow as a whole. Please help us welcome
Ryan into his new roll.

Air Carbon ARC Gouging
By: Alan Goodman, Asset Manager
Our shop recently purchased an “air carbon ARC gouging” torch to improve
efficiency / productivity when we need to cut welds. Air carbon
arc gouging works as follows - An electric arc is generated between
the tip of a carbon electrode and the work piece. The metal becomes
molten and a high velocity air jet streams down the electrode to blow
it away, thus leaving a clean groove. The process is simple to apply
and has a high metal removal rate, and gouge profile can be closely
controlled.
This tool dramatically reduces this time to remove weld as compared
to the typical method of torching or grinding, plus the cut is very clean
and the metal is not subjected to extremely high temperatures This
tool could be compared to using a razor to precisely remove material.
A new, high volume, 25 HP air compressor enabled us to take advantage
of the gouging torch. Many thanks to Jerry Lambert and the shop
technicians for bringing new tools and technology into the workplace.
CAGC Pinnacle Award
Congratulations to New Atlantic Contracting for winning the 2014 Carolinas AGC Pinnacle Award!
They won “Best Building” for the UNCG Pedestrian Underpass. Wayne Brothers’ Grading Group is
grateful to have been part of such a successful project. The joint project between UNCG and the NC
Railroad Company was designed to provide a safer path for pedestrians and bicyclists as well as create
a connection between the university’s core campus and the school’s massive mixed-use project along
the Lee Street corridor. The most interesting and challenging part of the project was the open cut tunnel
was excavated and built underneath three Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, without taking them out
of service.

I was recently made aware of an issue that a local high school (Northwest Cabarrus)
track team was facing. The school had their track resurfaced and a concrete pad and
pit poured for their pole vaulting runway this past off season. It was discovered a few
weeks ago that the pit cast in the pole vaulting pad was incorrectly installed (it was
out of square with the run way, it was 2.5” too shallow and the angles on the sides
were incorrect). The team’s track season started two weeks ago and they had not
been able to practice pole vaulting as a result of the issue with the pit.
My wife (who is an assistant track coach there) asked if we had any ideas on how to
repair the issue. This is where Scott, Rodney and Moises come in. The three of them
took opportunity of a slow day for the finishers and went out to the track field to
make the repairs for the team. It didn’t cost us a lot of time or money, but the impact
that it made is huge. Now 6 or 8 high school kids can carry on with their pole vaulting
practice and hopefully give them more opportunity to be successful this track
season. Just another example of how we can use our skills and resources to make a

I would like to share with you my thoughts on Field Mechanic Jeff. While I have not
worked directly with Jeff, I have heard nothing but glowing reviews of his work. On
every jobsite I go to I always hear praise about Jeff’s work ethic, willingness to work
through lunch or late hours, and his overall spectacular attitude. I don’t know that
I have ever seen Jeff not covered in grease, oil, or mud but he always seems to be
cheerful. On behalf of myself and the grading group, I want to say thanks and we
appreciate the work the equipment department does to keep us moving.
- Josh Dahlbeck, Project Manager
Thanks to all the grading crew working on the Pavilion job site for all your hard
work. -Rick Adsit, Senior Superintendent
Thank you to all our Grading Group training participants and instructors who are
taking the time to learn, teach, question and grow themselves as well as each other.
We can see the improvements in the Group due to everyone’s hard work.
- Jim Rhodes, Civil & Infrastructure Group Manager
Congratulations to New Atlantic, Bruce Ashworth and the entire project team for a
job well done on the UNCG pedestrian Tunnel Project. The project won a well deserved
AGC Pinnacle award. - Jim Rhodes, Civil & Infrastructure Group Manager
WBI would like to thank all that contributing in any way to the Holiday Giving Back
Program. Several employees suggested fellow co-workers or folks in the community
that they knew had some special needs during this time of year. Employees
donated money and WBI matched the contributions. The company also adding an
additional contribution to the fund and all was distributed prior to the holidays. A
total of $10,500 was distributed among five employees and four families from our
community. One of the recipient’s husband passed away last year and left many
doctor bills and medical expenses. She lives in a small trailer that is not underpinned.
This causes her heating and electrical expenses to be more than she can
afford. She struggles to make ends meet and does not have any family to help her.
She received a check for $500 from WBI’s Christmas Giving to purchase materials
for the underpinning of her home, and a local church covered the installation. She
wanted to make sure everyone at WBI knew she was very thankful. After she was
given the check she said “Now I won’t have to be cold anymore.” All recipients were
very thankful and everyone should feel a sense of pride knowing you and WBI care
about their employees and the community we live and work in!
