THREE WAYS T3 CAN<br />
SAVE YOU TIME & MONEY<br />
T3, the Operating System for<br />
<strong>Construction</strong>, is EquipmentShare’s<br />
cloud-connected technology platform<br />
with apps to help your company<br />
monitor, track and manage its<br />
everyday operations.<br />
T3 can be installed on all of your<br />
company-owned equipment —<br />
regardless of manufacturer — and<br />
every EquipmentShare rental comes<br />
with T3 for the duration of the rental.<br />
With the ability to monitor 100% of<br />
your fleet and provide actionable<br />
insights, T3 can save you time<br />
and money.<br />
Reduce Your Rental Spend<br />
At EquipmentShare, we’re always<br />
looking for ways to help you get the<br />
most from your rental budget — even<br />
if it means spending less with us.<br />
T3 Fleet lets you review fleet<br />
utilization right from your dashboard,<br />
so you’ll know which machines are<br />
making you money and which are<br />
just parked. Then, easily off-rent with<br />
the Rent app and right-size your fleet.<br />
Reduce Service Times & Overhead<br />
With T3’s data reporting and analysis<br />
functions, you can pinpoint ways to<br />
optimize your fleet usage and avoid<br />
costly breakdowns.<br />
Use T3 to identify long equipment<br />
idle times to reduce fuel waste.<br />
Review diagnostic trouble codes<br />
and schedule regular maintenance<br />
before small problems become long<br />
downtimes. And if a machine does<br />
break down, our field technicians can<br />
access a machine’s complete service<br />
history to help pinpoint the problem<br />
before they arrive.<br />
Reduce Theft<br />
Equipment theft robs you of more<br />
than just a machine — it idles your<br />
workforce and slows your project<br />
down. T3’s GPS and geofencing<br />
capabilities can help keep an eye on<br />
your equipment 24/7.<br />
Simply set up an alert associated<br />
with your jobsite geofence, and T3<br />
can text you if equipment from your<br />
jobsite is started outside working<br />
hours. Then, use T3 Fleet to track<br />
your machine’s location and status,<br />
and easily share vital information<br />
with law enforcement. Best of all,<br />
the EquipmentShare team is there to<br />
help you recover your assets every<br />
step of the way.<br />
T3 has helped contractors recover<br />
equipment — from tool trailers to<br />
skid steers — and send thieves to jail<br />
across the country.<br />
The Bottom Line<br />
T3 lets you replace multiple systems,<br />
spreadsheets and ledgers that track<br />
equipment rentals, usage and service<br />
with one centralized solution —<br />
saving you time and money.<br />
Get started with a tech-powered<br />
rental from EquipmentShare.com or<br />
visit T3.tech to find out how to turn<br />
your own machines into a techpowered<br />
fleet.<br />

PROJECT MANAGEMENT<br />
<strong>Build</strong>ing A Homebuilding and Remodeling Company That<br />
Attracts The RIGHT People Like a Division 1 College Football Powerhouse<br />
Wednesday, September 20 | 11:15 a.m.-12:15p.m. | Keynote Area<br />
As a Division 1 Football player in the powerful Southeastern Conference (SEC) Scott has seen first hand the behind-thescenes<br />
system that is being constantly updated and refined to ensure that athletically talented 16 and 17 adolescents<br />
choose the right team.<br />
Remodeler and home builder owners are in a season of work where they have a choice: see the next generation as a<br />
hindrance with excuses like “they won’t work”, or to see this new generation as an opportunity to pivot with a renewed mindset like “I’m excited<br />
to see how they own the mission!”<br />
There is a shortage of workers for the old-school methodologies but there is not a shortage of people willing to work…towards the right mission.<br />
This life-changing and engaging keynote pulls from our work with hundreds of owners and gets you on the path to building a powerhouse team.<br />
You will be equipped to beat chaos with predictability, and to build a business that brings stability, life, and time for what matters most.<br />
Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, <strong>Build</strong>ers, and Remodelers<br />

Thursday, September 21 | 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />
People, people, people! How do we find the right people to hire? How do we find ANY people to hire?<br />

recruit them the right way, share the right vision, and then onboard them the right way that aligns with the right mission?<br />
Reimagine the business of your contracting firm with this engaging keynote talk drawing from our work with hundreds of contractor owners that<br />
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<br />
the business to make time for what matters most.<br />

RENTAL INCOME<br />
Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADU”)<br />
Wednesday, 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | Room 301A<br />
Seth Phillips<br />
Licensed Broker/Agent | Realm Home<br />
Until recently, a house with a garage was just a house with a garage. But no more! Thanks to the housing crisis, it’s a Brave<br />
New World! With the passage of Senate Bills 9 and 10, you can now construct 2-3-4 units on your land for more rental<br />
income. (And 10 units if your property is near a transportation hub.) Seth is considered “California’s Leading Expert on<br />
ADUs.” Join Seth (“Mr. ADU”) as he discusses the benefits of Senate Bills 9 and 10, and how you can easily improve your<br />
rental income by building more units on your property. Property owners must take advantage of Senate Bill 9! Seth will be<br />
covering this new law that allows property owners to add up to three rental units to their single-family residence. That’s<br />
right! State law now allows you to increase the number of rental units on your property with very few restrictions. Under<br />
the new “ADU Law,” owners may add three new rental units (in addition to existing SFR) regardless of square footage. This<br />
legislation gives real estate investors a new tool to create much-needed housing while at the same time creating great<br />
opportunities to accumulate new wealth by “optimizing an asset” you already own or want to buy. At Seth’s presentation,<br />
you will learn how to…<br />
• Convert garages, laundry and storage rooms into ADUs.<br />
• Double, triple, or more, your multifamily rental income.<br />
• Learn how Senate Bills 9 and 10 help your properties &<br />
income.<br />
Target Audience: All <strong>Build</strong>ing and <strong>Construction</strong> Professionals<br />
• Generate income with triplexes and four-plexes.<br />
• Learn the “step-by-step ADU process.”<br />

Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | Room 308B<br />
Scott Beebe<br />
Founder & Head Coach | Business on Purpose<br />
The culture of your business is a DIRECT RESULT of the ingredients that you allow to enter into the building. Good<br />
ingredients equal good culture, and vice versa. Culture is more than ping pong tables and bean bag chairs. Culture is about<br />
relationships, connection, and communication.<br />

to work for it…but how? Most strategies include a cross-your-fingers approach.<br />
This fun and surprising workshop will remove the confusion around great culture and provide you with the action and<br />
clarity you need to build a culture that you are proud of and that all generations want to be a part of.<br />
Learning Objectives:<br />
1. Clarify the elements of great culture, and identify<br />
distracting elements of bad culture so you can focus on<br />
the elements of great culture<br />
2. Walk away with a one page visual of building great<br />

Improving Functional Recovery Using Replaceable Fuses<br />
Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | Room 306B<br />
Justin Marshall<br />
President | DuraFuse Frames<br />
The minimum standard for seismic design in current building codes is Life Safety. This means buildings are expected to<br />
experience controlled damage but not collapse during a major seismic event. The unexpected outcome of this practice<br />
is that following a major earthquake may result in very costly repair or building demolition being the best options. Major<br />
updates to building code requirements are in process so that they address Re-Occupancy and Functional Recovery in<br />
addition to Life Safety. Several strategies to improve Functional Recovery are highlighted, including the advantages and<br />
disadvantages of each method. Various replaceable fuse concepts are explored with the most practical concepts already<br />
being used in practice. The simplest and most economical of these methods is improving the repairability of structures,<br />
through replaceable fuses, enabling a quick return to service after severe earthquakes.<br />
Class Objectives: Upon completion of the class, the participants will be able to:<br />
1. Describe the expected state of code designed<br />
structures following a major earthquake.<br />
2. List several ways Functional Recovery can be improved<br />
when designing and building new structures.<br />
Target Audience: Owner/Developer, Contractor, architects, engineers<br />
3. Explain the premise and the advantages of the<br />
replaceable fuse concept for design or retrofit of<br />
buildings and other structures.<br />

start, ensuring a smooth project flow.<br />
• Navigating Agencies: Follow a step-by-step roadmap to<br />
engage with each relevant agency effectively.<br />
• Handling Roadblocks: Acquire actionable strategies to<br />
overcome unexpected obstacles and keep your project<br />
on track.<br />
In this seminar, you will learn how the minutest of issues can cost thousands of dollars in the long run. You may not see it<br />
now, but every time a computer crashes, your Wi-Fi connection drops, and your office manager must step in and be the “IT<br />
guy,” it can cost you dollars that your business can be saving for yourself or reinvest back into the business. We will discuss<br />
how these issues can be prevented for current costs and maintenance to avoid future expenses. We’ll provide you with a<br />
checklist and steps to take so you can better focus on your business and save costs on the bottom line.<br />

Until recently, a house with a garage was just a house with a garage. But no more! Thanks to the housing crisis, it’s a Brave<br />
New World! With the passage of Senate Bills 9 and 10, you can now construct 2-3-4 units on your land for more rental<br />
income. (And 10 units if your property is near a transportation hub.) Seth is considered “California’s Leading Expert on<br />
ADUs.” Join Seth (“Mr. ADU”) as he discusses the benefits of Senate Bills 9 and 10, and how you can easily improve your<br />

rental income by building more units on your property. Property owners must take advantage of Senate Bill 9! Seth will be<br />
covering this new law that allows property owners to add up to three rental units to their single-family residence. That’s<br />
right! State law now allows you to increase the number of rental units on your property with very few restrictions. Under<br />
the new “ADU Law,” owners may add three new rental units (in addition NRG Park to existing Center SFR) regardless of square footage. This<br />
legislation gives real estate investors a new tool to create much-needed June 8 housing & 9, 2022 while at the same time creating great<br />
opportunities to accumulate new wealth by “optimizing an asset” you already own or want to buy. At Seth’s presentation,<br />
you will learn how to…<br />
• Convert garages, laundry and storage rooms into ADUs.<br />
• Double, triple, or more, your multifamily rental income.<br />
• Learn how Senate Bills 9 and 10 help your properties &<br />

LEE & ASSOCIATES - LA NORTH/VENTURA CLOSES $10.7M<br />
SALE OF PRIME INDUSTRIAL BUILDING IN CHATSWORTH<br />
The sale marks the company’s largest deal for Q2 <strong>2023</strong><br />
PHOTO LEE & ASSOCIATES<br />
- LA NORTH/VENTURA INC.<br />
CHATSWORTH, CA – JULY 20, <strong>2023</strong><br />
Lee & Associates - LA North/Ventura<br />
Principals Scott Caswell and Erica<br />
Balin have announced the closing of<br />
a $10.7 million, 37,000 SF industrial<br />
building located at 9223 Deering Avenue in<br />
Chatsworth, California. Caswell and Balin<br />
represented both the buyer, whose name<br />
will remain undisclosed, and the seller,<br />
Northwest Industrial Center, LLC, in the<br />
transaction.<br />
“Prime industrial property remains hard to<br />
find even in this current environment,” said<br />
Caswell in making the announcement. “There<br />
is no question that industrial, particularly<br />
when it is well located, continues to a product<br />
type that remains popular, particularly given<br />
the lack of inventory in the area.”<br />
The site was previously home to a database<br />
management company.<br />
“We are very pleased to be able to bring this<br />
opportunity to the buyer’s attention as we<br />
truly believed it was an exceptional facility for<br />
them,” emphasized Balin. “Given the current<br />
interest rate environment and the lack of welllocated<br />
product, this provided an excellent<br />
solution to both the buyer and seller.”<br />
Located in the prestigious Northpark<br />
Industrial Center, this area continues to be<br />
one of the region’s most popular areas given<br />
its proximity in the San Fernando Valley. The<br />
property’s location also provides easy access<br />
to major freeways, providing easy access to<br />
surrounding hubs.<br />
