SBCA’s Chapter Focus for June 2010
Take a Lesson from . . . SBCA’s Capital Area
One Local Step for the Chapter, One Giant Step for Fire Education Nationally
The Capital Area Chapter has always taken education seriously, but it didn’t set out to make a big difference on a national scale. That was a very beneficial side effect!
For the last few years, the chapter has hosted a booth at the Annual Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) Conference by the U.S. Fire Administration National Fire Academy in Emmetsburg, MD. The FESHE mission promotes education, especially for reducing loss of life and property from fire and other hazards. Representatives from fire-related degrees programs, state and local fire service training agencies, and national fire service organizations attend the annual three-day conference.
Supplying copies of Building Component Safety Information (BCSI) booklets and Wood Truss Construction & Fire Performance CDs, the chapter makes contact with fire professionals locally and nationally. And once again, they made a very good impression!
Following the conference, their electronic newsletter, Virtual LAMP [Learning-Academic Materials and Programs] Post, featured our Carbeck Structural Components Institute’s (CSCI) Wood Truss Construction and Fire Performance education program. Within hours, the requests for Carbeck CDs started arriving. In the first day, we received 90 requests!
“For the past 3 years, this non-profit organization has had a booth at [FESHE]. For fire science students, the opportunity to tour a truss building plant or view the educational videos on the [Carbeck] Webpage offer exceptional opportunities to learn building construction concepts in experiential and meaningful ways. Training academy students could enjoy the same learning benefits, as well.” Printed in Virtual LAMP Post online newsletter, June 29, 2010

SBC Industry News for January 25, 2010
Under CSA 2010 Drivers Have More Personal Responsibility
On January 13, members of SBCA's Capital Area Chapter met to hear more about the new Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) 2010 regulations by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which will change the way drivers are penalized for load/trip violations.
Whereas under the current system, many load securement, oversize and overweight permit and minor vehicle damage citations could be paid by the company as a cost of doing business because they didn't result in "out-of-service," under CSA 2010 drivers could quickly lose their commercial drivers licenses (CDL) and livelihood because of how they are penalized under this new system.
Under CSA 2010, all violations will count against both the company and the driver. Expect drivers faced with the possibility of losing their CDL to be very cautious about the cargo they haul and the risks they personally take with permits and load sizes and weights. Pre-trip and post-trip inspections should hold more gravity, and log books should not be overlooked. The cargo loading and load securement processes should be more heavily scrutinized.
As members of the Capital Area Chapter discussed, actions that companies should take now to prepare themselves for the new regulations include educating themselves and drivers on the rules as well as honing their inspection procedures.
A complete article will be available in the March issue of SBC Magazine. SBCA's TRUCK Basic Driver Training Program also provides the necessary training and information drivers need to avoid citations under this new federal program.
For more information on CSA 2010 and SBCA's TRUCK program, contact Sean at SBCA (608/310-6728). For more information on SBCA Chapters, contact Anna at SBCA (608/310-6719).
SBC Industry News for December 4, 2009
At the chapter meetings this fall, members were able to review the latest news and information from SBCA: the new SBCA Products & Programs flyer, which takes the place of this year's annual report; the relaunch of Business Solutions Groups (BSG) for component manufacturers; and an update on the BCMC show in Phoenix, AZ. In addition, highlights from the meetings included:
Structural Building Components Association of the Capital Area (SBCACap)
The Capital Area Chapter's November meeting featured a roundtable discussion of industry issues. This year has been a challenging one for everyone in our industry, but we're not down for the count yet! Everyone was encouraged to submit topics for the agenda when signing up for the meeting. Featured topics included: The economy and the housing market; DOT regulations that will assess points to the driver instead of fines for overweight loads; and Insurance requirements on GC contracts. The meeting presented a terrific opportunity for members to reconnect and discuss current issues and solutions.
The complete update on the Alabama, Capital Area, Carolinas, New York and Southern Nevada Chapter fall meetings is posted on SBC Industry News, SBCA Chapters Discuss BCMC, Sealed Placement Diagrams, & New DOT Regulations at Fall Meetings.
CHAPTER HIGHLIGHTS APPEARING IN STRUCTURAL BUILDING COMPONENTS MAGAZINE:
June/July 2008
This spring, the Capital Area Chapter was pleased to sponsor a presentation of “Leadership Landmines,” a workshop from WTCA’s Professional Leadership Academy. Leadership landmines are 100%-controllable leadership actions, inactions, behaviors, words, signs and signals which negatively impact a leader’s ability to profitably grow their business through others. This workshop, presented by Randy Goruk of The Randall Wade Group, provided an eye-opening look at leadership landmines and their impact on time and profitability. Using real life personal, business and sports experiences, Randy demonstrated how to easily apply and benefit from the solutions offered to steer attendees toward exceptional leadership and improved profitability. The Capital Area Chapter provided the workshop for free to its members, and 100% of the respondents to the workshop evaluation stated that they enjoyed it and believed the leadership concepts developed at this session would help them as good reminders of how to be most effective.
April 2008
The Capital Area Chapter’s February meeting promised an economic outlook for our industry and the guest speaker was Stephen Fuller, Dwight Schar Faculty Chair and University Professor, George Mason University. Dr. Fuller is Director of the Center for Regional Analysis at the George Mason School of Public Policy and his areas of expertise include economic forecasting, regional economies, urban planning and public management. Chapter members were encouraged to bring additional members of their sales and management teams so that they could gather an accurate regional economic outlook to use as a backdrop for business planning. Indeed, the attendees commended Dr. Fuller on his excellent presentation and an afternoon well spent.
Also on the agenda, the members reviewed the chapter’s plans for providing educational presentations and copies of BCSI for the Maryland Building Officials Association (MBOA) and the Virginia Building and Code Officials Association (VBCOA). Seminars were being scheduled and several chapter members had committed to delivering the presentations. With assistance from WTCA staff, the chapter was also researching the best ways to become included in the information dissemination processes of MBOA and VBCOA so that we can continually forward important educational and technical information from our industry to the building officials in their jurisdictions. More information and details on the educational presentations would be determined by the chapter’s next meeting on April 9.
January/February 2008
The Capital Area Chapter held its final meeting of 2007 at the Hyatt Dulles in November. With a program based on ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption,” it was a very lively and well attended night. Encouraging attendees to speak their minds, the moderated discussion forum topics included handling/installing/bracing, contracts/bids and building codes.
Under chapter business, it was agreed that the group would renew its educational program by getting on the agenda of the States of Virginia and Maryland’s Building Officials groups’ annual meetings, if possible. The objective is to discuss BCSI or any other pertinent issues, and WTCA staff will assist in making these contacts.
With a moderate change in officer positions for the coming year, Chris Johnson of Toll Integrated Systems agreed to serve a new term as Chapter President. Russ Airington of Chesapeake Structural Systems moved to the Vice Presidency. Shep Campbell of Glaize Components and Ed Basham Chesapeake Building Components retained the Treasurer’s and Secretary’s posts, respectively.
The 2008 meeting schedule was tentatively set for: February 6 (instead of January 9), a meeting in conjunction with the SBC Legislative Conference, a summer Orioles game, and November 5. The February 6 meeting will feature an economist from George Mason University.
June/July 2007
The Capital Area Chapter returned to the Hyatt Dulles for its spring meeting. At the board meeting preceding the general meeting, the board moved forward with its plan to send 25 copies of BCSI to each chapter member. A cover letter will urge each member to pass this important booklet along to customers in an effort to get more information on proper handling, installation and bracing into the marketplace. In addition, a subcommittee was charged with determining the best package of literature to send to building inspectors. The packages will likely contain copies of BCSI and additional publications from WTCA.
The guest speaker at the membership meeting was chapter member Bob Dayhoff of Shelter Systems Limited. Bob is Chair of WTCA’s Engineering & Technology Committee, so he was the natural choice to deliver the evening’s presentation on Building Component Safety Information. The presentation highlighted the improvement in text and graphics since 2003, the greater focus on permanent bracing and the new section on long span trusses. Attendees were also provided with copies of B3 Web Member Permanent Bracing/Web Reinforcement. With formatting similar to the B1 warning poster, the new B3 is perfect for printing truss placement diagrams on the blank side and is ideal information for the building designer community.
April 2007
The Ohio Chapter held its first event of the year on February 6 in Chillicothe. In the morning, an educational seminar was delivered for Ross County Building Officials. The four-hour seminar, “Introduction to the Structural Building Components Industry: A Metal Plate Connected Wood Truss Inspection Checklist,” was taught by WTCA staff member Jim Vogt. Many good questions were asked and the presentation was very well received. The chapter was quickly invited back for another seminar.
Immediately following the educational seminar, an Ohio Chapter meeting was held at the nearby Bob Evans Restaurant. Several items were on the agenda including a recap of the morning’s seminar and planning for future presentations. Chapter members discussed conducting additional truss plant tours, both in conjunction with their chapter meetings and to educate building and fire officials. The prospects for a spring golf tournament and other activities were reviewed, too.
March 2007
The topic of the Capital Area Chapter’s January meeting was “Building Code Developments in Virginia.” The guest speaker was Eric Mays, Chief Building Official for Prince William County, VA. Prince William County has been one of the fastest growing counties in the United States, and the chapter has worked well with Mr. Mays in the past to resolve placement plans issues. Since a clear understanding of the building codes is critical to our jobs, all members were urged to attend this meeting. Mr. Mays discussed the impending 2006 Code adoption, Prince William County’s recent moratorium, and other issues driving building trends in 2007. At this meeting, the chapter also made a substantial commitment to use the BCSI 2006 to educate its marketplace.
January/February 2007
The Capital Area Chapter’s 2007 officers were approved by its Board at the November meeting. Russ Airington of Chesapeake Structural Systems will be stepping up as President with Craig Dewees of Chesapeake Building Components becoming Past President. Ed Basham of Chesapeake Building Components will remain Secretary and Shep Campbell of Glaize Components Treasurer. Added to the officer rotation was Brian Johnson of Structural Technologies as Vice President.
The guest speaker at the membership meeting was Ed Buck, Vice President, Strategic Programs, Boozer Lumber Co. His program on manufacturing efficiency emphasized labor reductions, which are perceived as the best source of savings to compete in the DC market area. Estimating, production and operation managers were encouraged to attend, too. During the open forum discussion, Joe Hikel of Shelter Systems Limited also spoke on his methods of capturing costs for trusses, and chapter members were invited to share their ideas on truss shop costing.
It was agreed that the January meeting would be held at the Hyatt Dulles but a subcommittee would investigate new meeting locations. Fairfax and Prince William County code officials would be invited back on January 11 to speak to the chapter on changes under the 05/06 IRC code. Also, the date of the fall 2007 meeting was moved from October 10 to November 7.
March 2006
For its January meeting, the Capital Area Chapter welcomed two guest speakers on code changes and quality control: Charlie Goehring, Director of Inspection for TPI, and Tony Piek, In-Plant WTCA QC Project Leader at WTCA. Mike Cassidy, Executive Director of TPI was also in attendance. Charlie discussed the most recent TPI Board meeting decisions and 2006 priorities including an update on the TPI inspection program, lumber inspections by TPI, the creation of the third party inspection standard and the use of WTCA QC by TPI as part of its inspection process. Tony covered the most recent work by the WTCA Quality Control Committee and the anticipated 2006 priorities, including how WTCA QC is being used as a management information system and helping plants improve their operations, the latest on plant certifications and best practices, online training for inspectors and third parties, truss builder training and how the QC and Safety programs provide the foundation for this, and the development of a lumber standard for tracking lumber quality within WTCA QC. The attendees asked several pertinent questions and the meeting was enjoyed by all.
Under upcoming events, the next chapter meeting will be held on April 12 at the Hyatt Dulles in Herndon, VA. The members are also considering ways to participate in the Annual Legislative Conference, May 10-12, in Washington, DC, on such as hosting a reception for the WTCA attendees and legislative guests.
March 2005
The Capital Area Chapter welcomed three guest speakers at its January meeting. First up was Dave Conover of the International Code Council. Since Maryland has adopted the 2003 I-Codes and Virginia is consid-ering it, chapter members were eager to learn more about the codes. In addition, two Fairfax County Building Officials, Paul Lynch and Brian Foley, continued the presentation with a discussion of the regulations in Virginia. The chapter thanks all three for their very interesting updates and hopes to continue working with them on educational projects in the future.
Also at the meeting, the 2005 slate of chapter officers was elected: President Craig Dewees (Chesa-peake Building Components), Vice President Russ Airington (Chesa-peake Structural Systems), Treasur-er Shep Campbell (Glaize Compon-ents) and Secretary Ed Basham (Chesapeake Building Compon-ents). The chapter’s spring meeting will be held on April 13 and may be combined with a WTCA/Frush Ideas Workers’ Compensation Seminar.
November 2004
This year’s Capital Area summer outing was the best yet. To get into the spirit before the baseball game, the chapter reserved the Homeplate Lounge at Camden Yards to hold a lunch barbecue feast. Complete with wings, slaw, chips and salsa, popcorn, soda and beer, cookies, watermelon and of course Boog’s pit beef and turkey, there was almost too much for the 29 chapter members and their guests to handle before game time. What’s more, the day was complete with a winning game! The Baltimore Orioles took the lead 3-1 after the first inning and the Texas Rangers never caught up. After the fifth inning, the score was 6-2, and the Orioles won 7-3. The chapter will definitely be returning to Camden Yards again next year.
March 2004
Incoming Chapter President Joe Hikel delivered the presentation for the January meeting of the Capital Area Chapter. With a high-speed internet connection, Joe demonstrated the wealth of classes available through WTCA’s Truss Knowledege Online (TKO) system. Chapter members were able to see the ease with which they could take advantage of Truss Technician Training (TTT) Levels I, II & III, Truss Basics, Truss Manufacturing Orientation (TMO), Technical Assessment Test Online (TATO), Truss Technology Workshops (TTW), and more. Then, the educational message of the meeting continued as chapter members turned to the new Building Component Safety Information (BCSI) series. Per Joe’s request, sample copies of the soon-to-be-updated WTCA Jobsite Safety Package containing the printed versions of the B1 and B2 Summary Sheets as well as the latest draft versions of B3 and B4 were sent to the meeting. To round out the program, Joe Kannapell of MiTek purchased a case of BCSI 1-03 booklets for everyone to review at the meeting.
In other news, the chapter meeting schedule for 2004 has been decided. The spring meeting will be held in conjunction with WTCA’s Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., May 5-7. The summer meeting will be combined with the chapter’s annual outing to a Baltimore Orioles game. The fall meeting will be held at this year’s Building Component Manufacturers Conference in Charlotte, NC, October 6-8.
December 2003
Can you check plate locations in 30 seconds? That was the question asked at the October meeting of the Capital Area Chapter. The focus of the meeting was proper plate placement, and Joe Hikel of Shelter Systems discussed his company’s leading-edge In-Plant WTCA QC program. Full-scale plated truss joints were brought to the meeting to be passed around with templates for the plate placement method (PPM) and tooth count reports from the engineering software. Chapter members were encouraged to bring their manufacturing and design personnel as well to hear more about the simple ANSI/TPI 1-2002 compliance process with enhanced reporting and data analysis tools. In addition, the meeting featured a recap of the October BCMC Show in Phoenix. Members shared the highlights from the new products offered by the exhibitors, the important messages from the educational sessions, and their conversations with fellow industry professionals.
September/October 2003
For its summer quarterly meeting, the Capital Area Chapter took a trip to a Baltimore Orioles game (see also the Chapter Spotlight article). For the third year in a row, members and nonmembers were invited to join in for a day of business and pleasure. The guest speaker at the morning meeting at the BWI Airport Marriott was Edward Callahan of Callahan & Associates. Mr. Callahan spoke on loading issues, such as floor loading during construction and sheathing concerns. The chapter thanks him for his insightful presentation. In addition, discussion returned to the current hot topics in the area including trucking regulations and the sealed placement plan controversy in North Carolina.
May 2003
At is spring meeting in April, the Capital Area Chapter focused on education. To begin, chapter members reviewed and discussed “The Fire Performance of Wood Trusses” CD. Developed by the Carbeck Structural Components Institute (CSCI) in cooperation with WTCA and the Houston Fire Department, this CD generated rave reviews, and it was agreed that local fire departments would benefit from its distribution. In addition, the chapter returned to the discussion from its January meeting on code compliance. With the approaching implementation date of ANSI/TPI 1-2002, members had several issues they wished to address. Last but not least, the chapter also welcomed Kent Pagel, WTCA Legal Counsel, as guest speaker. Mr. Pagel delivered an update on the situation with lumber tariffs and the value-added wood products position, as well as answering additional questions from the attendees.
March 2003
The topic of the Capital Area’s January meeting was code compliance. Joe Kannepell of MiTek Industries lead the discussion on the new International Building Code, and how chapter members should expect to adapt to the changes. Highlighted were such items as wind factor changes and bottom chord loading. Also discussed were the upcoming ANSI/TPI 1–2002 changes. Many excellent questions were raised and debated. In addition, the chapter used the January quarterly meeting as a membership recruitment event. All non-member manufacturers in the area were invited to dinner as guests of the chapter. It is hoped that some of the new faces that attended will become regulars at the meetings and members of the chapter. For its April meeting, the chapter is planning a program on fire education and will discuss the “The Fire Performance of Wood Trusses” CD. In order to avoid scheduling problems with the Easter holiday, the meeting is being moved April 2.
December 2002
The Capital Area Chapter held its fall meeting on October 9 at the Hyatt Dulles in Herndon, VA. The meeting topic was “Sharpening Your Business Practices in Tough Economic Times.” Business is never simple but the difficult economic times increase the demands we face. Examples of areas where the pressures are increasing include: the bid process (heightened competitiveness, integrity questions); insurance issues and liability; quality concerns (e.g., closer examinations of product for mold); fluctuating code requirements (e.g., sealed placement plans issues if shipping to NC); tight margins; dealing with vendors (will they help insulate you or will they expose you to greater risks; what is your role if a customer requests something from your vendor?). The roundtable discussion offered ways to protect businesses as well as tips on how to better anticipate problems so that they can be resolved more quickly.
For its winter meeting, the chapter is planning a membership recruitment event. Local nonmember truss manufacturers will be invited to dinner on the chapter. The topic will be code compliance. Discussion will focus on the new International Building Code, and how we must adapt to the changes. Design teams are invited to the meeting too. The meeting will be held on January 8 at the Hyatt Dulles.
September/October 2002
For its summer outing the Capital Area Chapter again attended a Baltimore Orioles Game at Camden Yards. In addition to this being a great opportunity to relax and socialize with fellow chapter members, the baseball game was also the focal point of the chapter’s summer membership drive. One free ticket was offered to each new member. The chapter will not learn until the announcement at BCMC in Columbus, however, if it has won this year’s WTCA Membership Drive. The next chapter meeting is scheduled for October 9 at the Hyatt Dulles in Herndon, VA.
May 2002
Following its January meeting with representatives of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the chapter continued to confront the issue of escorts for off-center loads. By working with the VDOT, the chapter was successfully influencing the definition and implementation of the new rules.
Discussion of the new regulations continued at the April chapter meeting. The central topic of the April meeting, however, was the mold issue. With lawyers thinking "mold is gold" and the public thinking mold is deadly, chapter members discussed ways to prepare for and fight this challenge. Because the mold controversy has been growing in nearly all of the WTCA Chapters, the Capital Area recognized that it was time to develop a unified approach to the crisis. Provided for the discussion was the latest Truss Technology in Building sheet from WTCA, "Facts Regarding Mold on Lumber", and WTCA's position letter to builders and contractors. Chapter members were encouraged to bring the letters they received requesting action on mold as well as the contracts they have been using. Joe Hikel of Shelter Systems was the day's moderator and the chapter's legal counsel, Holt Gwyn of Conner Gwyn Schenck PLLC, addressed the contractual and legal implications. By confronting the issue as a united group, chapter members expected to maintain their strongest position in the marketplace.
March 2002
Capital Area Chapter Combats 9-foot Load Limit by Joe Kannapell, MiTek
Backlash from a double fatality on a Virginia Highway prompted a crippling DOT requirement. However, prompt action by a united Capital Area WTCA Chapter offers the best hope of a reversal.
Fortunately, board member John McKinney’s company, Skyline Building Systems, owned a pre-cast company with the inside track on wide-load requirements. Their industry group appealed for relief to state authorities, and was granted a reprieve until March 31. John shared a very important DOT letter with the group, temporarily restoring the 12' shipping limits without an escort. This letter saved chapter members thousands of dollars in escort costs, almost immediately.
Chapter President Chris Johnson arranged for two top DOT members to address the January 9 chapter meeting. These dedicated civil servants drove three hours after work, listened attentively to suggestions, and solicited chapter input at their upcoming meeting. A breakout group of members then had a lively discussion, shaping industry strategy for that meeting. The “jury is still out,” but by standing 40-strong in front of DOT, the Wood Truss Council of the Capital Area is assuring its future.
December 2001
This year, the summer and fall Capital Area meetings were very successful and well attended. In fact, the summer meeting was moved from July to August so that it could be combined with a trip to a Baltimore Orioles game at Camden Yard. For the October meeting, Holt Gwyn of Conner Gwyn Schenck PLLC presented a program on risk management. In other developments, work continued on the MADE project homes being built by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center and sponsored in part by the chapter. This project for “marketable, affordable, durable entry-level homes” was discussed at the August meeting to determine which chapter members would be able to donate roof and floor trusses. In addition, the chapter is grateful to the Southeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association for donating the southern pine for these trusses.
CHAPTER HIGHLIGHTS APPEARING IN WOODWORDS MAGAZINE:
August 2001
As WTCA-National was going to Washington for its May meeting, the Capital Area Chapter was meeting just "outside the Beltway." Besides lumber price escalation, transportation issues and the general economy were prominent on the meeting agenda. A guest speaker, Chris Zander of Penske Truck Leasing, argued forcibly for subcontracting truss hauling. He questioned whether small businesses could manage the burden of trucking regulations. All agreed that increasing costs and skyrocketing risks of loss made a compelling case. For example, one member reported that a late model BMW almost drove directly under a properly escorted load that was over-hanging the right lane of the Beltway.
Joe Kannapell, Associate Board Member, reported on the continued health of the Metro-DC economy, despite the “Dot-Bomb” fallout. The stimulus of continued employment growth, increasing government spending, and stable interest rates has been somewhat dampened by the "slow growth" forces.
Chris Johnson, Chapter President, opened discussion of the summer meeting agenda. A Baltimore Orioles baseball game barely edged out a golf outing. All are looking forward to the combination of business and pleasure.
March 2001
At the January 10 Board and Chapter meeting, the Capital Area Chapter elected Joe Hikel of Shelter Systems as Treasurer, Steve Gilliam and Wilson Ryman of Glaize Components as Co-Chairs of the Membership Committee, and Russ Airington of Chesapeake Structural Systems to the Chapter Board of Directors. The chapter’s plan of holding two Truss Technology Workshops each year was revisited. The first seminar for building officials will be in Montgomery County, MD, in March, and the second seminar is slated for the fall in Richmond, VA. Following the discussion of chapter business, a presentation was given by Kirk Grundahl, WTCA Executive Director. Focusing on "Putting a Human Face of the Truss Industry" and WTCA’s plans for 2001, the program emphasized the importance of local chapters especially when confronted with politicized issues. A robust discussion affirmed the commitment of WTCCA to remain politically active.
November 2000
WTCCA held its fall meeting on October 4 at the Hyatt Dulles Hotel in Herndon, VA. Representatives from Randstad presented a program titled Solutions to Your Labor Needs. Following the discussion of staffing problems, the conversation turned to other key issues in the marketplace. High turnout and insightful comments led to a successful and informative evening.
September/October 2000
WTCCA held a very informative meeting on July 12. Jim Thomas of Trussway returned as moderator for a roundtable discussion of key issues in the marketplace. Topics on the agenda included design issues, freighting issues, labor and human resources, e-commerce, lumber price volatility, and construction activity. Representatives from the WTCA insurance carrier, Lumbermens Underwriting Alliance, also gave a presentation. On August 2, the chapter held a Truss Technology Workshop for Building Inspectors in Richmond, Virginia, and the surrounding counties. Excellent turnout helped make this event productive as well.
