MEET DALE MURPHY 

JULY 21—BOOTH #340 

SECURE YOUR JOBSITE IN MINUTES 

By David Studdert, Chief Business Development Officer 

LVT (LiveView Technologies) provides the 

ultimate security for your construction site. 

Our mobile units are completely wireless and 

combine top-end cameras with cutting-edge 

cloud technology so they can literally go 

anywhere no matter how remote. 

Each unit is equipped with solar panels and our proprietary 

edge controller. These two features ensure that they don’t need 

hardwired power or communication links. Instead, they can be 

deployed anywhere on your jobsite and installed in 30 minutes 

or less. And they can be easily moved so when you need a new 

sightline or are ready to take the unit to the next job, it only 

takes a few minutes. 

The best part is our units are proven to deter crime on 

construction sites—everything from loitering and trespassing 

to theft and vandalism. Because we use deterrence-based 

methods, many criminals see the unit and leave before 

any harm is done. However, when looks aren’t enough, LVT 

Units have a two-way speaker, lights, and more to help you 

intervene before damage is done. In fact, you can receive 

intruder alerts on your mobile device and log in to the live 

feed. From there you can watch and make sure the intruders 

leave, talk to them through the speaker, and call local law 

enforcement if their illegal activity continues. 

LVT Units can also function as a site management tool. With 

24/7 live views of your site, you can know exactly when a 

delivery was made, if workers are billing for the correct number 

of hours, or even if conditions are too severe to continue the 

project that day—all without physically being at your site. 

See how LVT can make your construction site 

safer and more secure at lvt.com.

Founder & Head Coach | Business on Purpose 

Material And Pricing Clarity: 3 Steps Every Homebuilder And Remodeler 

Owner Can Implement To Restore Business F.I.T.ness In A World Of Chaos 

Wednesday, July 20 | 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. | Keynote Area 

Windows that used to take 7 days in 2020 now take 7 months…maybe. Plywood that costs $11 now demands over $70! 

Volatility is the new certainty, and contractors must create the discipline to develop a different level of fitness in their 

business in order to navigate these new waters, with a more robust ship. 

This life-changing and engaging 45 minute talk won’t waste your time in empty market predictions, but instead will provide you the tools to 

build a better business that allows you to navigate a new business reality. 

You will be equipped to beat chaos with predictability, and to build a business that weathers volatile changes, and makes time for what matters 

most. 

Target Audience: Homebuilders, Remodelers, Contractors 

Recruiting And Hiring: The 4 Systems Every Homebuilder And Remodeler Owner Needs To 

Build The Right People That Builds The Right Business 

Thursday, July 21 | 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. | Keynote Area 

People, people, people! How do we find the right people to hire? How do we find ANY people to hire? 

The Boomers retired early, and the emerging generations are much more selective in the work they choose. How can you find the right people, 

recruit them the right way, share the right vision, and then onboard them the right way that aligns with the right mission? 

This life-changing and engaging 45 minute talk pulls from our work with hundreds of contractor owners that led to our proprietary and proven 

roadmap. 

This roadmap will equip you to beat chaos with predictability, and to build the team that will build the business to make time for what matters 

most. 

Target Audience: Homebuilders, Remodelers, Contractors 

Tom Woodcock 

President | Seal the Deal 

Selling Thru a Tough Economy 

Wednesday, July 20 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area 

We’re seeing volatile pricing formats, supply chain interruption and rising interest rates. This usually ends in tough 

economic conditions, resulting in construction industry challenges. Knowing the best way to stay ahead of these changes 

and keep your business moving forward is difficult. We’ll look at the methods successful contractors use to weather 

shifting economic conditions. We’ll cover: 

Sponsored by 1. Increasing your portion of the market pie 

2. Getting a competitive advantage 

3. Managing customer expectations 

4. Structuring your sales effort 

5. How to balance sales and marketing efforts 

You’ll come away from this session with a better understanding of what it will take to grow in both revenue and 

profitability in these times. Sales is the most important aspect of your business. Everything else simply follows that lead. 

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Builders & Remodelers 

Networking & Association Use 

Thursday, July 21 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area 

Many contractors never join relevant associations that can produce revenue for them. Even worse they spend the dues money and don’t 

maximize the effectiveness of the association. We will layout how to determine what associations to join, how to work them and get business 

from your involvement. The single greatest way to find grouped customers and network contacts is right in your backyard association! 

Work them to the fullest and you’ll never make a cold call again!

6 Common Traits of a Healthy Project: Using AI to Determine Project Health 

9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. | Room 111 

Eric Crawford 

Director of Sales for North America | FONN 

A project manager and his customer want a healthy project. However, few projects are delivered on time and on budget. 

Traditional construction processes and workflows can provide vital information if it is collected and made accessible to 

workers in a timely manner. Accurate and real-time information captured on project sites is crucial for performing work 

correctly the first time--reducing re-work and saving you money. 

Fonn investigated this challenge and started working on a way to fix it. In this session, we’ll review how AI enables users 

to track, monitor, and predict Project Health using technology gathered from our customers. This session investigates how 

Project Health is understood in the construction industry and how it is reflected in 4 key areas: Satisfaction, Safety, Quality, 

and Cost. It also identifies the 6 common traits of a healthy project. Attendees to this session will be given a complimentary 

copy of the accompanying white paper.

The Historic Eight 

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, “[An] historic house is 

defined as being at least 50 years old, has architecturally important 

designs and was the site where an historic event may have occurred or 

is associated with a famous person.” Such memorable houses could be 

part of a designated historic district in a city or municipality. Atlanta, 

which was founded almost 200 years ago, contains eight popular 

historic districts and described by blogs at simpleshowing.com and 

ntcic.com. 

1. wwwGrant Park was founded before the Civil War. This district is 

named for Lemuel Pratt Grant, an engineer and businessman who 

helped bring the railroad to Atlanta. 

2. Inman Park is comprised of many houses constructed in the late 

19th and early 20th centuries. This residential development is 

considered Atlanta’s first suburb. 

HISTORIC HOMES—BACK TO THE 

FUTURE 

By John Whitcraft, PE, CLD, LEED AP BD+C, 

President of Whitcraft Engineering Solutions, Inc. 

If there were a crystal ball to foretell the safety issues of today, 

historic homes may have been built differently. No one can resist the 

historic charm of Atlanta’s century-old homes. They are impressive, 

but as a solutions-oriented electrical engineer, I know the intricacies 

involved in restoration. Replacing or repairing components often 

includes the electric meter panel, sub-panels, household wiring, 

electrical boxes, receptacles (outlets), switches, appliances, lights, 

and power equipment. Still, major repairs are absolutely worth the 

time and investment. My most rewarding project was designing and 

updating the electrical system for the Warrior Foundation Freedom 

Station II in San Diego, CA. Affectionately known as The Home of 

the Brave, this remodeled group of circa-1920 cottages supports 

the mission to help United States wounded soldiers successfully 

transition from military service to civilian life. 

As with many historic buildings, these cottages were transformed 

to serve a new type of resident. It was an honor to ensure a safe, 

adaptive-living environment for our veterans. 

Restoring Instead of Buying New Houses 

With homeowners, though, the motives to restore old houses can 

vary. One reason could be financial, with prospective buyers believing 

that it may be easier to secure a loan for a remodel than for a new 

dwelling in today’s ever-challenging real estate market. Another 

strong motivation is the appearance and character of the structure, 

according to a recent blog by Home Hunters Realty: 

No doubt owning an older home can be a satisfying source 

of pride in the workmanship and architecture of a bygone 

era. Many older homes offer unique features that just aren’t 

prevalent in today’s residences. Some homeowners inherit 

properties that once belonged to their parents or other 

relatives. In some parts of the U.S. maintaining the “old 

homestead” is almost a duty that comes with being part of their 

family heritage. 

3. Castleberry Hill, situated southwest of downtown Atlanta, 

became a federally-recognized historic district in 1985 and a “City 

of Atlanta Landmark District” back in 2006. 

4. Old Fourth Ward became the home of Dr. Martin Luther King 

Jr. back in 1929. Currently, many dwellers reside in the area’s 

modernized condos. 

5. Virginia-Highland’s origins began in 1920. Now this historic site 

contains a wide variety of large houses that can be quite costly. 

6. West End—with its lovely townhouses— is popular with young 

professionals because of its proximity to businesses and cultural 

events. 

7. Tuxedo Park has the distinction of being listed on the National 

Register of Historic Places (NRHP), as well as offering mansionsized 

rooms on acres of lush lawns near the Georgian woods. 

8. Academy Lofts at Adair Park is a preservation and adaptive reuse 

project in an historic elementary school near the Atlanta Beltline 

offering 35 residential micro-units, as well as office, event, and 

commercial spaces. 

Despite the obvious attraction and allure of living in an historic district, 

buying in such an area entails rules and regulations about the way a 

house may be refurbished or rebuilt in the event of damage or loss: 

“While new construction materials may be used in the reconstruction 

or repair, the materials may have to conform to certain historical 

standards and appearances,” states the Home Hunters Reality blog. 

Electrical Problems in Old Houses 

As an electrical engineer, I’m probably more aware of electrical 

challenges than most professionals. The challenges include the risk 

of life-threatening injuries—such as severe shock, electrocution, and 

fires—when amateurs attempt to renovate old houses. The dangers are 

daunting compared to other types of construction and remodeling. For 

this reason, it is vital to hire an electrical engineer and/or an electrical 

contractor when restoring a venerable yet vulnerable aging property. 

Old houses are especially likely to have such complications because 

they are typically underpowered, depending upon 60-amp or 100-amp 

service instead of the 200-amp utility in today’s homes. Other routine 

issues include ungrounded circuits, wiring with deteriorated or missing 

insulation, and circuits controlled by old-fashioned fuses rather than 

modern circuit breakers. 


The lifespan of electrical wiring itself is limited by the lifespan of the 

wire’s insulation. According to a Money Crashers January 2022 blog by 

Brian Martucci: 

Wiring installed before 1960 lasts roughly 70 years, while newer 

wiring is estimated to last at least 100 years. Once the insulation 

deteriorates to the point that the actual wire is exposed, the risk 

of electrical fire, shocks, short circuits, and localized (single- or 

multi-room) power failures increase dramatically. 

Electrical service panels and circuit breakers are also prone to 

deterioration. Service panels last 60 or 70 years, while breakers 

last 30 or 40. Failing panels and breakers can cause shock, power 

failure, fire, and other dangers. 

“The good news is that modern electrical components are designed, 

tested, and certified for safe, reliable, long-lasting performance,” 

explains a recent blog on This Old House. “Building inspectors 

throughout the country rely on the same strict, detailed standards for 

electrical work in new construction and remodeling projects—provided 

by the National Electrical Code.” The NEC is a standard created and 

regularly updated by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). 

Residential Electric Code Requirements 

Electrical code requirements stipulate where different types of 

breakers are used. For example, the receptacle circuits in bathrooms, 

kitchens, garages, basements, and other wet (or potentially wet) areas 

need Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) protection. In addition, 

building codes in many areas now require Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter 

(AFCI) breakers for other household circuits because they protect 

against fires and electrical flashes caused by arcing faults, which often 

occur in damaged or deteriorated wires and cords. Test GFCI outlets 

monthly by pressing the button on the outlet marked “Test”. Since 

GFCI breakers are expensive, your home may have been wired using 

a single GFCI outlet and down-stream outlets chained on the same 

circuit. One ground fault opens the entire circuit. Circuit breakers 

that feed receptacles will be rated at 15 or 20 amps, which means 

they will automatically trip if electrical current exceeds these ratings. 

Lighting circuits are controlled by 15 or 20-amp breakers. The house’s 

service panel will also contain a limited number of larger “double-pole” 

breakers that have higher amp ratings for big appliances such as air 

conditioners, stoves, and clothes dryers. 

Lighting Upgrades 

Remodeling an old house requires replacing incandescent light fixtures 

and fluorescent lighting with LED (light-emitting diode) fixtures. 

Research shows that LED lighting sources emit light up to 90% more 

efficiently than incandescent light bulbs. How do they function? As 

an electrical current passes through a microchip, the chip converts 

electricity into visible light. When installing new recessed lighting 

(also known as can lights) in a ceiling beneath attic space, make sure 

to tell your electrical engineer or electrician to use fixtures with an IC 

(insulation contact) rating, so that attic insulation can be installed in 

direct contact with the fixture. The DMF lighting “One Frame System” 

is an example of a recessed “Insulation Contact Rated” fixture. 

In addition, ask your electrical engineer or electrical contractor to airseal 

around fixtures in the attic to help prevent loss of warm air from 

the house’s living space in wintertime. Ask him/her to Include dimmer 

switches in the renovation lighting plan. “Being able to moderate the 

degree of light (especially in ceiling-mounted lights) is an easy and 

effective way to alter the ambiance of living space,” states a recent 

This Old House blog. The DMF “One Frame System” is also ASTM 

E283 Certified Air Tight. 

As an electrical engineering expert, LEDs fascinate me. For that 

reason, I’ve provided some interesting facts with comments from Scott 

Caron, an electrical contractor, in another This Old House blog: 

• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are commonly used in flashlights and 

Christmas tree lights. 

• LEDs are long-lasting, super-bright, and energy efficient. Although 

the LED costs more, they will probably never be replaced. LEDs 

have no filament to fail as incandescent lamps do. 

• A standard Christmas tree light consumes seven watts of 

electricity per bulb. An entire string of LED lights uses only three 

watts. 

• Replace old incandescent bulbs with retrofit LEDs, which screw 

into standard lamp sockets. 

• Reflective-style LEDs come with various bases and often easily 

plug into the socket. 

• Recessed LEDs combine the light bulb and trim kit into one 

compact unit. 

• Flush-mounted LEDs can be connected to an existing recessed 

fixture or hardwired to a ceiling-mounted electrical box. 

• Color-changing LED rope lighting can be installed inside or along 

the tops of cabinets and wall units. 

• New LEDs can be controlled wirelessly through a smartphone or 

tablet, allowing for adjustments with the intensity (brightness) or 

color of the light. 

• Illuminate kitchen counters with slim LED fixtures that are 

designed for under-cabinet installation. 

• Exterior-rated LED lights are available for installation outdoors 

above a patio, driveway, or deck. 

• Almost all commercially available light fixtures now are based on 

LED technology. 

As homeowners continue to remodel 

old houses, either for financial or 

nostalgic reasons, they will need the 

services of a licensed professional 

electrical engineer.

THE GREATER ATLANTA HBA (GAHBA) 

A membership with the Greater Atlanta HBA is a three-in-one 

membership. When you join the Greater Atlanta HBA chapter, 

you also receive a membership with the Home Builders 

Association of Georgia (HBAG) and National Association of 

Home Builders. (NAHB) 

Our membership breaks down into two categories – Builder 

Members and Associate Members. Dues start at $750 for both 

Builders and Associates. Dues for larger builders are dependent 

upon the average number of closings. Each membership is 

company based, allowing all the employees of your company 

to receive member benefits at the local level. Through the 

membership, you will have access to benefits from continuing 

education classes, car rentals, insurance, networking, and much 

more. 

As the GAHBA, we serve our members through the application 

of the four pillars. 

1. Advocacy: On the local, state and federal level on matters 

that improve housing affordability, codes and standards, 

and our local economy. As a GAHBA member, you have the 

opportunity to represent the residential construction and 

development industry at local, state and national events. 

2. Networking: Team up and form long-term partnership with 

other members. GAHBA provides the formula to develop 

life-long business and friendship relationships with some of 

the most successful and influential decision makers in the 

Metro Atlanta Area. 

3. Education: With local, state, and national experts informing 

members as it relates to technology, business operations 

and marketing strategies. We provide licensing support, 

continuing education credits, and licensing for members. 

4. Community Service: Through partnerships with local non 

- profits such as HomeAid, we serve the community by 

meeting the needs of individuals and other organizations in 

our community. 

We have chapters throughout the geographical district that 

makes up the GAHBA, and councils that allow members to 

focus on different aspects of the industry. We have luncheons 

and evening socials that allow you to learn about the current 

governmental affairs issues at hand, meet different individuals, 

and receive industry specific updates, and more. 

There are many ways to get involved with the Greater Atlanta 

HBA to grow your business. 

We are here to advocate on your behalf while creating 

environments that allow you to grow and enrich your business. 

Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions! 

Best, 

Gary Magee, Jr.

Summer is here and the Government Affairs Committee 

(GAC) has been hard at work addressing the challenges and 

opportunities that our industry faces on the local level. 

Impact Fee Update 

The GAC continues to track legislation regarding impact fees 

in the 67 municipalities that we serve. Local governments are 

consistently looking for ways to fund public safety, parks, and 

transportation, and impact fees appear to be the top funding 

mechanism sought by the various elected officials. 

Discussions with Henry County have continued in 2022 and 

date back to June of 2021. The methodology report has 

shifted during that time to phased-in approaches with five 

different fee options for the commission to consider. The Henry 

County proposed increases range from 183% on the low-end 

to 529% on the high-end. GAHBA staff continues to work 

with Henry County to decipher the calculation of the most 

unprecedented increase in impact fees and we will continue to 

voice our opposition to any other communities that choose to 

implement new fees or increase their existing fees. 

City of Atlanta 

The Greater Atlanta Home Builders are pleased to welcome 

Andre Dickens as the 61st Mayor of the City of Atlanta. Based 

on recent correspondence with GAHBA members, we are 

encouraged by the feedback from the Mayor’s team regarding 

improvements in the Planning Department and the permitting 

process. In addition, staff and builders are planning to hold 

several calls with Chief Operating Officer, Lisa Gordon to 

discuss our priorities and provide input with regards to the 

hiring of a new Planning Commissioner. 

Dekalb County 

We continue to work with Dekalb County officials on the 

consent decree and the effect that it has on our builders and 

developers. These conversations continued at the beginning of 

the year when we hosted Andrew Baker, Director of Planning 

and Sustainability, and Maria Houser, Director of Consent 

Decree and Environmental Compliance, to discuss the impact 

and the challenges associated with sewer capacity. 

In addition, GAHBA members had the opportunity to tour the 

new Dekalb County Development Services building, slated to 

open soon in downtown Decatur. Dekalb County has created 

a one-stop-shop for builders and developers to meet with 

representatives from each department. We appreciate Dekalb 

staff listening to the homebuilding community, and we look 

forward to the improved experience in this new space. 

City of Holly Springs 

In March, GAHBA Staff, along with 24 builders representing 

11 companies, met with officials from the City of Holly 

Springs to discuss newly released protocols and procedures 

regarding inspection guidelines. As growth continues to move 

to more rural areas, it has become increasingly difficult for 

local municipalities to keep up with the demand in zoning, 

permitting, and inspection processes. This was an opportunity 

to provide crucial input from our members to the staff of Holly 

Springs and work together on a good outcome. The GAHBA 

continues to strive to be the conduit for builder-government 

relationships and ensure that the residential construction 

industry receives proper advocacy and representation before 

the various bodies of government. 

Gwinnett County 

The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners will host 

stakeholder meetings this summer to discuss the recent 

Comprehensive Housing Study. Please be on the lookout 

for updates from the GAHBA staff regarding meeting dates 

and opportunities for Gwinnett builders to get involved in 

these efforts. The Board is currently evaluating the study 

and will reach out to our Association when a plan of action is 

determined. 

Welcome Katie Johnston! 

The Greater Atlanta Home Builders is pleased to welcome 

Katie Johnston as the new Government Affairs Coordinator. As 

coordinator, Katie will support our advocacy efforts across the 

nine counties we serve. Katie is a “double dog,” holding a B.A. 

in political science and a master’s in public administration from 

the University of Georgia. We are excited to have Katie on 

board, and we are looking forward to expanding our presence 

in the 67 municipalities that we serve. 

Let Us Know! 

As always, the biggest asset to homebuilding advocacy is our 

members. We best serve our industry when you reach out with 

questions, concerns, and comments relating to your business.
