CONSTRUCTION COSTS<br />
ARE HIGH BUT NOT A<br />
ROADBLOCK FOR NEW<br />
PROJECTS<br />
By Mary Scott Nabers<br />
It has been a very long time since construction<br />
opportunities were as plentiful as they are now. Upcoming<br />
opportunities of various sizes and types are abundant. But,<br />
the price of materials required for construction projects has<br />
escalated significantly. That could cause the demand to slow<br />
even though supply shortages are expected to ease in the<br />
coming months.<br />
Lumber prices, like every other commodity, fluctuate based<br />
on supply and demand imbalances. While demand is at an<br />
all-time high, supply has been negatively impacted by mill<br />
closings, labor shortages, wildfires that have destroyed<br />
thousands of forests, a beetle infection which has killed<br />
millions of trees, and slowdown at lumber mills as a result<br />
of COVID-19. Trucking and transportation issues – higher<br />
gas prices and too few drivers –also are impacting supply.<br />
For all these reasons, the country is experiencing a surge in<br />
construction costs that is historic. Not since shortly after<br />
World War II has the U.S. seen such an escalation in the<br />
price of lumber. Just recently, lumber experienced its largest<br />
price drop in history, which reflects the volatile futures<br />
market. Although demand for new homes and other private<br />
sector construction projects will continue, some believe that<br />
construction opportunities in government marketplaces<br />
will be greater for the next few years. Thousands of<br />
construction projects in government marketplaces are<br />
currently ready to launch in every state. Examples follow.<br />
Iowa<br />
A $23 million bond package was approved by voters in<br />
March of this year for a new Early Childhood Center at the<br />
Boone School District.<br />
The new facility will include a day-care area, preschool<br />
classroom space, a transitional kindergarten, regular<br />
kindergarten classrooms, and an area for first grades. The<br />
new building will replace two other school facilities. The<br />
project is scheduled for a completion date of fall 2023, and<br />
solicitation documents will be released in <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
Louisiana<br />
A new $36 million building for Slidell Memorial Hospital has<br />
been announced. The planned three-story facility will house<br />
seven new operating rooms, a COVID, section and space for<br />
patients with infectious diseases. Hospital officials plan to<br />
break ground this year, and a projected opening date for the<br />
completed facility is spring 2023.<br />
Maryland<br />
Hartford County Public Schools is currently in the study<br />
stages for the Homestead-Wakefield Elementary School<br />
Rebuild project, which proposes replacing three existing<br />
buildings with a single 120,000-square-foot building to<br />
house more than 1,100 students. The project timeline<br />
targets June 2022 as the construction start date. District<br />
documents show a total project cost of approximately $45<br />
million.<br />
10 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM
Kentucky<br />
The University of Kentucky board of trustees recently<br />
approved the design phase for construction of a new $30<br />
million College of Medicine facility. The new construction<br />
is part of the university’s overall growth plan. It will be a<br />
380,000-square-foot facility with classrooms, simulation<br />
suites, conference rooms, offices, and support space for<br />
staff.<br />
Texas<br />
City leaders in Huntsville are working on a plan to demolish<br />
and rebuild the City Hall at its current site. This project is<br />
on a fast track because the existing facility has structural<br />
beam and foundation issues. A future police building also is<br />
planned, and that construction project will be located in an<br />
area that adjoins 40 undeveloped acres.<br />
The construction project was envisioned as a two-story<br />
32,500-square-foot building, but adjustments are being<br />
considered that could add approximately 13,000 square<br />
feet. Solicitation documents are expected before the end of<br />
<strong>2021</strong>.<br />
Iowa<br />
Voters approved a $31 million bond election in March to<br />
fund the following projects at the Marion Independent<br />
School System:<br />
• New auditorium on the high school campus - $7.7 million.<br />
• New outdoor activities complex at the high school<br />
campus - $5.7 million.<br />
• Repairs to the high school exterior walls - $500,000.<br />
• New elementary school at Thomas Park - $15.3 million.<br />
• Renovation and additions at Francis Marion Intermediate<br />
- $6.6 million.<br />
Projects will be constructed beginning with the new<br />
outdoor activities complex, followed by the new elementary<br />
school. The new campus will replace Stary Elementary<br />
School at the same site as the activities complex at Thomas<br />
Park..<br />
Virginia<br />
King George County is struggling with the increase in<br />
the cost of lumber and other materials as it prepares for<br />
construction of a new courthouse. An aging facility will<br />
be replaced with a new 50,000-square-foot building, but<br />
the projected cost has escalated by $4 million to a new<br />
estimate of $17.1 million. County officials may employ costcutting<br />
measures such as design, but time is short as the<br />
completion date has been announced as August 2023.<br />
Alabama<br />
Contractors will not want to overlook the vast number of<br />
upcoming opportunities in Alabama. Voters in Birmingham<br />
recently approved an $11.25 million bond package that will<br />
fund parks and recreation projects. Another $4.74 million is<br />
available from a former bond package and can be tapped.<br />
Voters across the state approved a $1.24 billion bond<br />
package to fund projects at K-12 schools, colleges, and<br />
universities. Approximately 1,600 public schools will benefit<br />
from the funding, and the Alabama Community College<br />
System has another $120 million to distribute among the<br />
state’s 24 community colleges.<br />
The good news is that demand for construction is exceeding<br />
rapidly. The bad news is that construction costs have<br />
escalated as well. The better news is that funding, especially<br />
for public sector entities, is more readily available than it has<br />
been in the past. The number of funding options which can<br />
be tapped is enormous as well as diverse. Federal funding<br />
sources include the American Rescue Act, Pre-Disaster<br />
Mitigation Funding, Community Development Block Grant<br />
programs, Public Private Partnership coalitions and more.<br />
Private sector options include eager investment options<br />
from regional banks, insurance firms, individual investors,<br />
and large private sector investment firms. Municipal bonds<br />
provide another option, and legislative bodies seem to be<br />
willing to allocate funding as well.<br />
If public officials want to move forward with construction<br />
projects, they can certainly do that using one or more of<br />
these options.<br />
Along with contracting opportunities such as these, elected<br />
officials at many jurisdictional levels of government are in<br />
conversations related to large collaborative infrastructure<br />
projects. Expectations are that Congress will pass an<br />
infrastructure bill - one that encourages public officials to<br />
move forward with substantial projects and incentivizes<br />
private-sector investment funding.<br />

SPECIAL ATLANTA SHOW EDITION <strong>2021</strong> 15
A flap of excess membrane of the pre-applied<br />
waterproofing must be left exposed above the shoring<br />
wall in the transition area and remain viable so it can be<br />
tied into the podium waterproofing at a later time. That<br />
requirement was ignored. Instead, the transition strip<br />
used to connect the two systems was removed. How<br />
could qualified contractors do this?<br />
The primary reason is that only a handful of people really<br />
understand why that flap of random membrane is so<br />
important. In this case, the concrete contractor did not<br />
understand that the flap was a critical connector for the<br />
two different systems. Because the overarching goal<br />
was to just get the work done, the concrete crew cut the<br />
membrane off at the top of the shoring wall and wadded<br />
up the vertical leg into the corner of the form, making it<br />
completely unusable.<br />
It is at critical junctions like this — better known as<br />
terminations, transitions, and penetrations — that 90<br />
percent of all water intrusion has been documented to<br />
occur. Considering the different contractors working on a<br />
project and the various connections between systems, it<br />
is easy to see why most leaks happen at these junctions.<br />
SERIOUSLY, YOU COULDN’T<br />
CALL FIRST?<br />
By David Leslie, RWC<br />
In the world of roofing and waterproofing, rarely does a<br />
day go by when a colleague or client utters the dreaded<br />
phrase, “So I have this situation …” I feel a pit forming in<br />
my stomach when I hear those words, because they are<br />
typically said long after a painless solution to the problem<br />
is possible. After 30 years in the weather-barrier industry<br />
as an installer, consultant, and manufacturer, I have been<br />
involved in countless “situation” conversations and can<br />
assure you they are no fun. Let me offer an example.<br />
My team has a project right now that has Underseal preapplied,<br />
below-grade waterproofing on the foundation<br />
wall of a parking garage that will be tying into the podium<br />
deck waterproofing. In this case, the “situation” occurred<br />
after the concrete contractor had finished placing curbing<br />
around the podium deck (Fig. 1).<br />
The purpose of pre-applied waterproofing is to maximize<br />
efficiency by casting the concrete wall against it,<br />
eliminating the wasted space of a trench. The membrane<br />
from the top of the shoring wall down (which was never<br />
intended to see the light of day) is sandwiched between<br />
the concrete wall and the surrounding shoring wall.<br />
16 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM<br />
What is the fix for a situation like this one? Unfortunately,<br />
the correction is often demanding and sometimes<br />
completely unreasonable to perform. We see it every<br />
day: Major grade beams cast without waterproofing, large<br />
banks of utility lines running through the waterproofing<br />
without being detailed. Truly, the only way to properly<br />
correct those missteps is to jack out the concrete and<br />
start over. But rarely can a project absorb the additional<br />
cost or delayed schedule to make such extensive<br />
corrections.<br />
In the pictured example, the fill under the podium deck<br />
must be excavated, exposing the membrane to install<br />
a transition membrane. Making this correction after<br />
the fact adds time and expenses that could have been<br />
avoided.<br />
Who’s job is it to prevent this type of situation? While it<br />
is everyone’s responsibility, the general contractor must<br />
take ownership. The problem is that the modern-day<br />
construction method of design-bid-build is fragmented.<br />
All the participants are specialists focusing on a single<br />
task, unaware of how their work impacts the building as<br />
a whole. In fact, the contract documents intentionally<br />
silo the individual disciplines and then isolate the lines of<br />
communication. The general contractor is obligated to the<br />
owner to produce a building that meets the contractual<br />
agreement. Ultimately, coordination between the various<br />
trades as well as verification that the project outlined in<br />
contract documents is constructible are the responsibility<br />
of the general contractor.<br />
One would say, therefore, that the general contractor, in<br />
the situation described, should have done a better job,
ut the issue is not that clear cut. A general contractor<br />
who makes weathertight buildings cannot personally<br />
monitor every inch of a project. One person — an<br />
architect, a foreman or a consultant — is typically made<br />
responsible for critical systems, such as HVAC, structural<br />
and building envelope. That individual’s most important<br />
attribute is knowing what problems to anticipate before<br />
they happen. By being aware of junctions prone to leaks<br />
and water damage, he or she can direct questions and<br />
concerns in advance to the correct advisers.<br />

It is hard to fathom how new buildings can leak when<br />
the primary purpose of a building is to provide shelter<br />
from outside elements. While there are actually many<br />
reasons a new building leaks, there are no good reasons.<br />
And sadly, the number-one cause of litigation in new<br />
construction is water intrusion.<br />
To avoid the “situation” conversation, consult the<br />
experts when it comes to terminations, transitions, and<br />
penetrations during construction. This will help keep you<br />
on schedule, on budget and out of court.<br />

Selling in the COVID Era<br />
Wednesday, July 21 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />
Selling in the construction industry during and post COVID is challenging. Some of the tried and true methods are less<br />
effective and many new ones are not as effective as they were at the onset. How do you adjust your sales strategy to<br />
continue to produce profitable business, increase revenue and even grow in this time period? Giving up on sales is a<br />
mistake and will be realized often when it’s too late. What we’ll cover:<br />
• Is outside sales still relevant • Is Zoom the new normal • Is face to face selling possible<br />
How can you integrate digital selling with traditional selling?<br />
We will dive deep into all these areas and you will come out with a baseline to build a sales plan. Many construction<br />
industry related companies are thriving in this climate. This is a chance for you to be one of those experiencing success.<br />
Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, <strong>Build</strong>ers & Remodelers<br />
Networking & Association Use<br />
Thursday, July 22 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />
Many contractors never join relevant associations that can produce revenue for them. Even worse they spend the dues<br />
money and don’t maximize the effectiveness of the association. We will layout how to determine what associations to<br />
join, how to work them and get business from your involvement. The single greatest way to find grouped customers and<br />
network contacts is right in your backyard association!<br />
Work them to the fullest and you’ll never make a cold call again!<br />

Mass Timber Termite Barriers & Waterproofing in Warm/Wet Regions<br />
1 AIA/CES HSW Credit<br />
9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. | Room 111<br />
Bo Young<br />
Commercial Development Manager | TERM Barrier Systems Division<br />
With the high growth potential of Mass Timber structures in regions with heavy termite pressure, studies by Mississippi<br />
State University and the US Forest Service point to the possibility of termite damage and water absorption. Termite damage<br />
and water absorption is a concern. However, our purpose today is to inform you of a physical, non-pesticide termite and<br />
water barrier protecting almost the entire building envelope. Research on this termite and water barrier started 21 years<br />
ago with Texas A&M University entomology scientists. The research has since expanded to a total of 7 university and<br />
governmental entomology laboratories. Incremental cost of this physical barrier is minimized because the termite barrier is<br />
built into an upgraded waterproofing barrier.<br />
This course describes the development and use of this waterproofing / termite barrier, which is supplemented by screen<br />
and stone termite barriers which are in use around the Pacific Rim, to create structures with termite barrier around the<br />
building.<br />

With the high growth potential of Mass Timber structures in regions with heavy termite pressure, studies by Mississippi<br />
State University and the US Forest Service point to the possibility of termite damage and water absorption. Termite damage<br />
and water absorption is a concern. However, our purpose today is to inform you of a physical, non-pesticide termite and<br />
water barrier protecting almost the entire building envelope. Research on this termite and water barrier started 21 years<br />
ago with Texas A&M University entomology scientists. The research has since expanded to a total of 7 university and<br />
governmental entomology laboratories. Incremental cost of this physical barrier is minimized because the termite barrier is<br />
built into an upgraded waterproofing barrier.<br />
This course describes the development and use of this waterproofing / termite barrier, which is supplemented by screen<br />
and stone termite barriers which are in use around the Pacific Rim, to create structures with termite barrier around the<br />
building.<br />

<strong>Construction</strong> can be an incredibly profitable industry, but it can also be very volatile. Business cycles for construction<br />
can change on a dime, and many contractors learned some hard lessons from the Great Recession. How do you build<br />
a consistently profitable and healthy construction company to thrive in the best times and survive the downturns that<br />
inevitably will return at some point?<br />
Target Audience: All builders and contractors looking to build a cash flow positive healthy company that survive &<br />
thrive in both good times and bad.<br />
