The 17th annual Home Improvement Show

was held August 19 – 21 at the Columbia

Metropolitan Convention Center. The

annual event is presented by the HBA of

Greater Columbia Remodelers and was

sponsored by The State newspaper and

the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

The event saw many changes this year that

were designed to improve the overall show

for exhibitors and attendees alike. Most

notably was the absence of the traditional

Preview Party, which was replaced with

an HBA General Membership Meeting

at lunchtime on the opening day of the

show. Members at that meeting were then

invited to visit the show at no charge. (See

a recap of that meeting on page 12.)

Other changes included the way our

advertising package was timed around

the event, hours of the show, unlimited free

tickets for exhibitors to distribute, and free

tickets in our newspaper ads. The result

of all of these changes was positive! The

attendance doubled from the previous

year and the exhibitors were very pleased

after the event.

Plans are already underway for the

2012 show, and we expect the show to

keep moving in a positive direction for

everyone involved. The next show by the

HBA of Greater Columbia is the Carolina

Classic Home & Garden Show to be held

March 9 – 11, 2012 at the SC State

Fairgrounds. Exhibit space is on sale now

through the HBA office.

The Home Builders Association of Greater Columbia Remodelers presented the 10th annual Columbia Remodelers Awards (CRA) program this year. The CRAs is the only program in the greater Columbia area to award top-quality remodeling work. Entries are collected in categories including kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, whole house renovations, additions and outdoor living.

Twenty-one entries were collected this year, and local and out-of-town judges through personal visits to each project chose 12 winners. Here are the winners:KITCHEN REMODELS Small Kitchen - Hinson Cabinet Company Medium Kitchen - Design & Remodeling Solutions Large Kitchen - Design & Remodeling Solutions Large Kitchen - Hinson Cabinet Company

10th Annual Columbia Remodelers Awards Announced

The membership of the Columbia Remodelers met for a Quarterly Meeting on Tuesday, August 30 at Seawell’s. About 25 members were in attendance. After networking, the meeting got underway. We had a recap and discussion about the Home Improvement Show held earlier in the month. After that, we had dinner and then our guests speaker started the program.

We had Andrew Cole from Collins & Lacy speak to us about a recent decision by the SC Supreme Court that affects general liability insurance for builders. The cases involved have been heard and reheard multiple times over the past few years and involve a lot of “legalese,” but Andrew gave a great review and translated it into English for us.

August Quarterly Meeting

The Green Building Council not only helps members and the public better understand how homes are built green, we also certify homes that are built to the National Green Building Standard (ANSI ICC-700). We have copies of the Standard available for purchase at the HBA Office and we have members that can make the process of building to the Standard as easy and cost-effective as possible.

And, since this is a local certification program, we are able to offer this green home certification at a fee lower than any of the national programs. Plus, there are discounts for HBA Members, Green Building Council members and volume builders. If you’re thinking about building green, we hope you consider the local Build Green Greater Columbia certification program. Contact Bin Wilcenski at the HBA to learn more and get started TODAY!

Green Certification Program Overview

CouncilNews

As I traveled to different builder and real estate offices this past year there was one question I heard repeated over and over in conversations…”Where are all the buyers?”

Believe it or not there are buyers out there. Maybe a little less than last year, but they are out there. The question is not “Where are the buyers?” but rather “Who is your buyer?” In the pressure of a buyers market many builders struggled to increase features while having to lower their overall price in order to stay competitive. While pricing and features are extremely important you may be leaving sales and/or a little profit on the table if you do not understand who your buyer is. By identifying who your buyer is, you can design your product not based on what the competition is doing but on what the needs and

wants of your buyers are. By identifying who your buyer is, you can target your marketing efforts and dollars to attract and capture these buyers.

Throughout this year your Sales and Marketing Council has worked hard to bring you free and informative educational opportunities to help you identify buyers in the market, such as with our She-Conomy topic, as well as different mediums to reach them with classes on blogging, video marketing, and the maximizing your internet presence. Our goal is to help provide the tools members need to be successful and provide those tools at the lowest cost possible. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of these free opportunities.

Thank you so much for this opportunity to serve you,

Marlene Sheard, 2011 SMC Chairman

The annual TOUR OF HOMES was held during the last two weekends of September and the first weekend of October this year and featured six Featured Communities, 16 home builders and 44 new homes for sale. An estimated 6,000 people attended the scattered-site showing of new homes.

The event officially began with the Sneak Peek held Thursday, September 15 at Saluda River Club in Lexington. Real Estate professionals and home builders enjoyed a beautiful evening at the Village Clubhouse visiting six homes in the neighborhood on the Tour.

We also sent a team of judges to every new entry on the Tour and had them choose the best home in each price range. Here are the award winners:

An HBA General Membership Meeting was held on Friday, August 19 at 11:30 am at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. Over 200 members were in attendance for the meeting, which featured two USC football coaches and the Columbia Remodelers Awards winners announcement.

Normally, our meetings are held on Thursday evenings at Seawell’s, but this meeting was held in conjunction with our Home Improvement Show that was taking place in the convention center and opening to the public at 1 pm that day. The meeting was set at that time and location in order to let members see the show with the greatest of ease.

Because the Home Improvement Show is presented by the Columbia Remodelers council of the HBA, this meeting also served as the vehicle to announce the winners of the 10th annual Columbia Remodelers Awards (CRAs). The purpose of the awards program is to showcase high-quality work being performed by local remodelers, and announcing the CRA winners to our members helps spread the word and accomplish that goal.

Special thanks to Columbia Metropolitan Magazine for sponsoring the awards program and for helping to announce the winners at the meeting. We had 21 entries in 11 categories and

the judges selected 12 winners. Please turn to page 7 to learn who the winners are.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who participated. Entries for the 11th annual CRAs will be accepted in May of 2012. Start taking before pictures of your remodeling jobs so you can enter the awards.

Our special guest speakers at the General Membership meeting were University of South Carolina Defensive Line Coach Brad Lawing and Offensive Line Coach Shawn Elliott. They gave an inside look at what the Gamecocks were working on and facing for the coming year, and did so in an informal and humorous way.

We finished up the meeting with some awards for members reaching new levels in the SPIKE Club. We also awarded the Spirit of Leadership Award to Ed McDonnell. Allyson Way Hank accepted the Membership Drive Cup on behalf of the Queens of Hearts team in the May Membership Drive.

After the meeting concluded members were invited to head down the hallway to the Main Hall for a first look at the 17th Annual Home Improvement Show. See page 6 to see how the show went this year.

ENHANCE YOUR HBA EXPERIENCE WITH AN AFFILIATE MEMBERSHIP{ {

Attending college on a full scholarship, successful rescue from

emotional and physical abuse, family restoration, progressing from

incarceration to law school graduate……these are just a few of the

awesome developments in the lives of some Members and Coaches

as reported during the C-CORE National Mentoring Summit held in

New Orleans, LA September 20 - 22.

C-CORE (Construction Coaching Opportunities To Reach

Employment) began exposing young people to the careers in

homebuilding one (1) year ago through mentoring relationships and

this Summit gave the many different organizations that originally

emerged to administer its success a chance to come together and

celebrate some success. As with any new effort, the first year is spent

letting people know that you exist and soliciting their involvement

for the sake of a greater good. In the case of professionals of the

homebuilding industry, the greater good offered some immediate

return on investment of their time since the targeted group of young

people represented the future lifeline to the many different professions

in homebuilding. Some of the first organizations across the nation to

step up to the plate include but are not limited to Communities in

Schools of Georgia, Big Brother Big Sister of New Orleans, ACE

Mentors Florida, United Way of Tucson, and taking on what is one

of the largest roles in this program by administering for three sites is

our very own HBA of Greater Columbia.

South Carolina has four total sites/cities that serve the program;

Columbia, Florence, Charleston all administered by HBA of Greater

Columbia. The fourth site, Greenville is managed directly by HBI

(Home Builders Institute). The vision to see the importance of the

program is accredited to the HBA Board of Directors and our Executive

Director Earl McLeod, but the work required to carry out the plan

takes teamwork and some of these team members were invited to

celebrate, share, and learn during the 3-day Summit. A special thanks

to the our counterparts – Columbia: Earl McLeod – Executive Director:

HBA of Greater Columbia, John Butcher – Chairman: C-CORE CAG

(Community Advisory Group), Sue Cirillo-Bailey – Transition Specialist:

Richland District One, Mike Gannon – Support Services Director:

DJJ, Reggie Murphy – Chairman: Midlands Workforce Development

Greenville Housing Authority, Representing Florence and Serving as

Regional Coordinator for SC and GA: Beau McLeod – Regional

Coordinator: C-CORE/HBI.

We have just completed the first year of this 3-year funded program

and we are excited about what can and with your help, will be

achieved through mentoring in our area. So let this serve as an

invitation for you to offer your expertise, vision for the future of our

industry, and your time to enriching the lives of young people. Let me

first warn you, more than you want to prepare to come and give to

these kids focus more on preparing yourself for what you will receive

as these young people share their lives, stories, and incredible

resilience with you. Individually you can do a lot, but go one step

further and encourage your colleagues, employees and even your

boss to allow the entire company to give back through mentoring.
