Growth in the Green Building MarketEnergy Efficiency Efforts Become Standard In New Construction And Remodeling Projects

Waste Management, is designed to provide key insights into product and market oppor-tunities in the single-family home building and remodeling industries. It is backed by proprietary research surveys and the power of the McGraw-Hill Construction Dodge da-tabase.

“NAHB builder and remodeler members were surveyed on their green building practices, which allowed us to shine a light on the state of the green market in this new report,” said NAHB Chairman Barry Rutenberg, a home builder from Gainesville, Fla. “The results high-light the tremendous growth in green build-ing, and the potential market opportunities that lie ahead. As more projects seek green certification, NAHB and the NAHB Research Center stand ready to meet the demands of this exciting and ever-changing market.”

Factors driving the growth in the green home building and remodeling market include:

Higher quality for both new home build-•ers and remodelers. For those doing a high volume of green homes (at least 60% of the homes they build), its impor-tance is magnified, with 90% who regard higher quality as an important trigger

New York, NY McGraw-Hill Construction re-leased its latest SmartMarket Report: New and Remodeled Green Homes: Transforming the Res-idential Market at the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) National Green Build-ing Conference and Expo. The report includes McGraw-Hill Construction’s estimate that the green homes share of the construction mar-ket was 17% in 2011, equating to $17 billion, and expected to rise 29%-38% by 2016, po-tentially a $87–114 billion opportunity, based on the five-year forecast for overall residential construction.

The report reveals that two of the key factors driving this market growth are the fact that green homes are seen as having higher qual-ity and that they save consumers money.

“In the current residential market, there is an enormous need to differentiate your homes for consumers,” says Harvey Bernstein, Vice President of Industry Insights and Alliances at McGraw-Hill Construction. “When builders are able to offer homes that not only are green, but also offer the combination of higher qual-ity and better value, they have a major com-petitive edge over those building traditional homes.”

Capitol Connection Q & A for ContractorsBy Shauna Krause, President, Capitol Services, Inc.

“Measure twice and cut once” is a good rule car-penters use to get a cut right. Getting the right information in the highly complex license regu-lations that ‘rule’ a contractor’s world is also es-sential. We ‘take-off’ with a mix of ‘half and half’ questions that help illustrate why contractors should consider expert assistance in following the rules different states require…

Q: My Company installs passenger-boarding bridges at airports. They are prefabricated steel bridges that go between the airport terminal building and the airplanes. I’ve gone through the list and definitions of the CSLB classifications and I’m thinking that we would need either the “D-21” (Machinery and Pumps) or a “C-51” (Struc-tural Steel) license to perform this work in Cali-fornia. Can you give me an opinion on what you believe is the appropriate classification?

A: You are halfway to the right answer! It ap-pears that some contractors still are licensed for this work with a “D-21” class. However, in consulting with the CSLB, that is no longer the practice. These two classifications are what they say would be appropriate for this type of work, either the “C-51” Structural Steel classification, as you suggested, or the “D-34” (Prefabricated Equipment).

Q: I previously had licenses in California and Ne-

vada and I let them both lapse. The California license has been expired since June 2012 and the Nevada license expired in August 2012. Can I renew the licenses or will I be required to re-apply and re-take the exams?

A: I’ll start with the good news: you can renew your CA license and you will not be required to re-take the exams. Once a CA license expires, you have up to five years to renew the license without re-testing. Nevada also allows five years to go by before you are required to re-take the exams, however the bad news is that once a Ne-vada license has been expired for a period of six months, you can no longer renew the license and you are required to re-apply for a new license number. This will involve paying the license ap-plication fee, providing new financial informa-tion, and all individuals listed on the application will be required to get fingerprinted.

Q: We are licensed General contractors with a “B”. We are considering self-performing the Plumbing and HVAC trades for projects on which we are the General contractor. Does the CSLB re-quire us to additionally have a “C-20” and a “C-36” license, or may we perform this work under our “B” license?

A: As a “B” contractor, you are able to self-per-form the HVAC and plumbing work without ob-

taining the additional specialty classifications. B&P Code Section 7057 addresses this topic and states that a “B” contractor must perform “at least two unrelated building trades or crafts other than framing or carpentry”. Plumbing and HVAC are considered two unrelated trades so you are good to go!

Contractor’s Note: In a recent newsletter the CSLB reminds contractors to pull building per-mits to avoid license penalties. As things heat up, pulling permits is especially important for “C-20” (HVAC) contractors whose work must also meet Home Energy Rating System (HERS) tests to comply with state Building Energy Efficiency standards.

The CSLB is now working with the California En-ergy Commission to ensure compliance through enhanced enforcement efforts to ensure that contractors are following state contracting laws, and HVAC contractors may be targeted in these stings.

While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle. Get expert assis-tance immediately when you call 866-443-0657, email [email protected], or write us at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 95814. Research past columns at www.cutredtape.com.

Growth in the Green Building MarketContinued from page 1

for building green, compared to 72% of builders overall.Customers are strongly value-driven—•around two-thirds of builders and re-modeler respondents state that custom-ers request green homes or remodeling projects in order to lower their energy use or save money, more than twice any other factor.Higher first costs for building green are •noted by a much lower percentage of builders as an obstacle now than they were reported in 2008.

The study also reveals the key practices and technologies taking over in the residential marketplace as a result of the shift toward green:

More than 80% report that energy effi-•ciency is making today’s homes greener compared to two years ago. Use of ener-gy-efficient features is pervasive in the market—the top practice by nearly all surveyed builders and remodelers, re-gardless of their level of green building activity.

Indoor air quality is growing in impor-•tance and focus for home builders. 60% of home builders believe that efforts to improve indoor air quality make homes greener than they were two years ago, and 95% of high volume home builders report including features that impact air quality.More than half consider durable materi-•als one of the most important features in their homes today. In particular, remod-elers emphasize this key aspect of their projects. Durability and better materials are key reasons why green homes and remodeling projects are considered of higher quality.

“These findings confirm the shift we’ve seen in the market,” says Jim Halter, Vice President, Construction Solutions for Waste Manage-ment. “Builders and remodelers are placing more emphasis on energy efficiency, increases in sustainability focused waste management practices and more products made from post-consumer materials. These important factors are pushing our industry forward.

REDUCE YOUR WORKERS’ COMP INSURANCE COSTS

The SBCA and 25 Builder’s Exchanges in California have joined to form the Golden State Builders Exchange (GSBE). Participation in this group insurance program may significantly reduce the cost of your workers’ compensation premiums over a State Compensation Insurance Fund individual policy. Qualifying SBCA members are eligible for a 6% discount. Ask to be placed into the SBCA Group 821. Please call the SBCA office for more information and conversion form. If you are already with State Fund, please call us or your broker to see if you qualify for this group program.
