EVENTS


Rochester Area Builders has members from dozens of skilled trades industries, however we are all ultimately in the same business:

customer service. People want to be treated right and feel like their overall experience with your business was positive. When done right, there can be a strong positive relationship between customer service and business success. The same applies to employee appreciation. We all know the struggle of finding and retaining the right people. Keep your team motivated by letting them know you don’t take their work for granted.

We certainly do not take any of our members for granted. RAB is proud to be a professional organization of commercial & residential builders, remodelers, developers, and associated businesses dedicated to advancing the building industry in Southeast Minnesota. To show our gratitude, we would like to invite you all to our Member Appreciation Night on Tuesday, July 30th from 4:30 to 7:30 at Mayowood Stone Barn. Join us for a great evening where we will be celebrating you, our members, and recognizing our honorary members. We will also be presenting Two Rivers Habitat for Humanity with a check in the amount raised from Studs, Struts & Stilettos this last year. Plus, we will have the big reveal of Studs, Struts & Stilettos’ theme for 2020! While you’re there enjoy a cold beverage from LTS Brewing Company, hors d’oeuvres, live music from Sothea, networking, and more!

As members, you have the opportunity to participate in several upcoming events. First up is the 2019 Sporting Clay Shoot on Thursday, September 12th. This event is open to members and their guests. (We’d love to have some teams of ladies!) We have a maximum of 150 shooters, so don’t wait, sign up your team today! Next, we have Fall Showcase of Homes and Remodeler’s Tour. The final deadline will be in August – do not miss this once-a-year opportunity to show off your craftsmanship! Finally, the deadline to get the same Home Show booth as last year is August 1st. If you’re new to the show, you can register your booth starting August 2nd. New this year, we will be looking for volunteers to build dog and cat condos to raffle off at the Home Show to support Paws and Claws Humane Society.

In closing, I want to encourage you all again to attend our Member Appreciation Night. Please invite coworkers, along with anyone who may be interested in joining the Association. We want to continue supporting the trades in southeast Minnesota and ensure the RAB is here to assist all those coming up the ranks of our industry. Thank you all for your involvement throughout the years. You are what makes the Association!

RAB


Minnesotans are more frequently feeling the impacts of severe weather events. Extreme heat, drought

and torrential downpours are felt most strongly in cities and suburbs. Impermeable surfaces (roads, roofs, parking lots, and compacted soils) absorb and retain heat from the sun, creating urban heat islands. These surfaces also contribute to high levels of stormwater runoff that pollute our natural bodies of water.

Resilient yards do the opposite: they help cool, they provide shade, and they divert and infiltrate stormwater. A resilient yard not only protects itself, but protects us and even helps us thrive. It’s time to bring Resilient Yards to

Rochester. The City of Rochester and Olmsted County Soil and Water Conservation District are partnering with Metro Blooms and the Blue Thumb Partnership to bring the “Creating Resilient Yards Workshop” to Cascade Meadow Wetlands & Environmental Science Center on August 8, 2019 starting at 6pm.

Resilient Yards Workshop Details

Creating Resilient Yards Workshop (1.5 hours) A framework for understanding resilience. Learn how to create resilience in your yard using site planning,

raingardens, turf alternatives, trees, other plantings and more. After the presentation join the audience and presenter for a Q&A and discussion about common obstacles and solutions.

Date: Thursday, August 8, 2019, 6pm to 7:30pm

Location: Cascade Meadow Wetlands & Environmental Science Center St. Mary’s University of Minnesota 2900 19th Street NW Rochester, MN 55901

Register at: metroblooms.org/workshops or call 651-699-2426 Metro Blooms, a metro area non-profit organization, works to strengthen communities by promoting environmentally-sound landscaping that beautifies neighborhoods and protects our environment. Metro Blooms coordinates the Blue Thumb partnership – an expanding network of public and private partners working towards planting for clean water.

Workshop presented by Metro Blooms and sponsored by the City of Rochester and Olmsted County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 224,000 in June, while the unemployment

rate edged up to 3.7%. Residential construction employment increased by 6,000 in June, after an increase of 3,800 jobs in May. The total construction industry (both residential and nonresidential) employment reached to 7.5 million, by adding 21,000

jobs in June.

According to the Employment Situation Summary for June, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 224,000, following an increase of 72,000 jobs in May. The May increase was revised downward from its original estimate of a 75,000 gain. Monthly employment growth has averaged 172,000 per month for the first six months of 2019, compared with the average monthly growth of 223,000 over all of 2018. Over the past twelve months, total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 2.3 million, with the average monthly growth of 192,000.

The unemployment rate rose by 0.1 percentage points to 3.7% in June. It was the sixteenth consecutive month at or below 4%. Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate, the proportion of the population either looking for a job or already with a job, ticked

up by 0.1 percentage points to 62.9% in June. The number of persons unemployed was little changed at 6.0 million and the number of persons employed

increased by 247,000 in June.

Additionally, monthly employment data released by the BLS Establishment Survey indicates that employment in the overall construction sector increased by 21,000 in June. The number of residential construction jobs rose by 6,000 in June, following an increase of 3,800 jobs in May.

Residential construction employment now stands at 2.9 million in June, broken down as 835,000 builders and 2.1 million residential specialty trade contractors. The 6-month moving average of job gains for residential construction is 5,800 a month. Over the last 12 months, home builders and remodelers added 78,000 jobs on a net basis. Since the low point following the Great Recession, residential construction has gained 923,800 positions.

In June, the unemployment rate for construction workers rose to 5.0% on a seasonally adjusted basis, from 3.7% in May. The unemployment rate for the construction sector has been trending downwards since February 2010 and remains historically low.

Remodeling Market Remains Solid in the Second QuarterBY CARMEL FORD on JULY 18, 2019

Remodelers’ confidence remained solid in the second quarter of 2019 with a Remodeling Market Index (RMI) reading of 55, up one point from the previous quarter, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) (Figure 1). Readings above 50 indicate that more remodelers report market activity as higher than as lower, compared to the previous quarter.

The RMI is a composite of two sub-indices: one measuring current market conditions and another measuring future market indicators. The current market index stood at 55 in the second quarter of 2019, up two points from the previous quarter (Figure 2). Among its components, major additions and alterations rose four points to 53, while the minor additions and alterations, and the maintenance and repair components were flat at 55 and 56, respectively.

The future market indicators sub-index posted a reading of 55 in the second quarter of 2019, up one point from the previous quarter (Figure 3). Among its components, calls for bids remained unchanged at 54, while amount of work committed for the next three months fell two points to 52, the backlog of remodeling jobs increased four points to 58, and the appointments for proposals component was flat at 55.

The remodeling market is on solid footing, but has decelerated somewhat due to ongoing supply-side challenges, such as labor shortages and rising construction costs, as well as year-over-year weakness in existing home sales. Market conditions would be better if not for the rising costs making it difficult to complete some projects at prices homeowners can afford.

For the full RMI tables, please visit www.nahb.org/rmi. For more information about remodeling, visit www.nahb.org/remodel.
