Innovative, time-saving building perimeters Axiom® Building Perimeters ensure aesthetic quality where the ceiling plane meets the interior perimeter with a pre-engineered system that integrates air distribution, drapery products, and ceiling elevation changes. PERIMETER POCKETS Aluminum extrusions that form a clean, two- or threesided pocket that accepts our T-Bar Connection Clip and Splice Plate to provide a positive mechanical lock with no visible fasteners. Easily integrates curtains, blinds, and shades into the perimeter pocket.

INSTALLATION

POCKET EXTENSIONS This pre-engineered aluminum extrusion allows design flexibility for creating larger-sized perimeter pockets and for ceiling elevation changes of 4", 6", or 8". The extension fully integrates with the building perimeter pocket.

POCKET DIFFUSERS Both the 4" and 7" diffuser face plates are pre-engineered to allow full perimeter diffuser integration with the perimeter pocket. Choose between a non-slotted and a slotted diffuser to provide air distribution at the building perimeter.

SY STEMS Between us, ideas become reality™

“We found that by eliminating all those steps, the Axiom system was four times faster than drywall. We were able to install it in a quarter of the time.” CLAUDE BACHAND, ALPINE DRYWALL

Decision Making

In these uncertain times, contractors have to make decisions that will ultimately have an impact on your business and livelihood. What job to take, which ones to pass up, when to cut staff, when to add staff, where do you add t hem , when to ex pa nd or even drop a certain segment of the market that is just not worth it—decisions, decisions. I wa s re c ent ly i n a m e e t i ng with a wall and ceiling contractor and he proclaimed his excellent decision making abilities. He announced to the group that “I have made many bold and correct decisions in these tough times.” He paused and then continued, “ U n for t u n at ely, t h e y h ave a l l been six months too late.” We all laughed but knew exactly what he meant; I am sure you do, too. Most of us were not born with a crystal ball and only a few of the lucky seem to always be ahead of the curve. While these people exist, they seem to us mere mortals that they must have the gift of insight or higher intelligence. But do they? What makes the more successful people shine over the average business people? What puts them ahead of the curve? W hat gives them that valuable insight at the right time? Monday morning quarterbacks are a dime a dozen and they are always right. How can you become a person who makes that decision in a timelier manner? In this ever-changing, fastpaced world you have to be thinking, always thinking and willing to change or adapt.

PROGESSIVE VS. TRADITIONAL At a seminar recently, the speaker compared a progressive to a traditionalist. He focused on plumbi ng cont rac tors a nd noted t he contractors who were progressive were more profitable and always thinking differently. He noted what made them different on the job site was adopting the “assembly line” method to speed production and cut overhead. The traditionalist sent out raw pipe, fittings and fixtures and used all journeyman to field assemble everything in place. The progressive cont rac tor d iscovered that many of the assemblies were repetitive. His approach was to create an assembly line at the warehouse to pre-assemble, tag and package most plumbing fixtures. This was faster and required less journeymen on the site, since much of the more menial work was already done. The point is someone will think progressively and others will have to follow—or they will go out of business. The traditionalist may resist progress and change; he may even be the local mom and pop grocery store who fights the megachain moving in, but he will adapt, change or die out. This adapt-or-die scenario does not mean that you have to conform or die, it means adapt to the

change. Consider the mom and pop grocery stores: they are largely gone but they have been replaced with progressive stores. In my area, a store called Bristol Farms is a local grocery store. They have specialty upscale items the big stores don’t—they found a niche. I know you have the same type of store in your town. “Progressive” does not simply mean jumping on the bandwagon to a new product or just going with the new flow. It is more akin to seeing the future; how to position your business to take advantage of the inevitable changes. You are a classic traditionalist if you think, “I am just a contractor, so it is pretty basic and not much I can do. I buy cheap, work the men harder and bid for less.” There is a big world out there with opportunities, you just have to open your eyes and look. If you think someone is going to hand it to you or draw you a map to get there, guess again. Expand your horizons and stop thinking like an average contractor. I was a contractor for many years and I thought the traditionalist way. Knowing what I know today, I would have done things differently. A l l of u s h ave b e e n a t e e n ager and remember our parents telling us that, “I f I only knew then what I know now.” Today we say it to our kids. You try to guide them but they know better than you. “You just don’t understand Dad” is what we hear. Are you the teenage contractor? You know better and they just don’t understand you. Stop and think for a moment: Are you just being stubborn and close-minded? You h ave de c i sion s to m a ke — s om e easy, some tough and some may even be game changers. Change is com i ng a nd b el iev i ng it w i l l continue to be the way it was is bei ng st uck. You have to ma ke t ho s e pro g re s sive d e c i sion s to stay on top. W&C

OPERATING ENGINEERS LOCAL 150 EMBRACES AWPT PROGRAM The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 Training Center, of Wilmington, Ill., recently joined the International Powered Access Federation and became an AWPT training center so that they could offer training on the safe use of aerial work platforms to its membership. American Work Platform Training is the North American IPAF subsidiary whose training programs meet OSHA requirements and ANSI standards. After looking at a number of training methods and talking with other people in the industry, Local 150’s Apprenticeship and Skill Improvement Program concluded that the programs offered by AWPT were the most thorough and provided their organization with the tools they needed to integrate aerial work platform training into their certification protocols. AWPT offers the internationally-recognized PAL Card (Powered Access Licensed-registration) to people who successfully complete a training program on a class of work platform equipment.

IPC MAKES BID FOR TEMPLE-INLAND San Francisco news source MarketWatch has reported that International Paper Co. has launched a deal for Temple-Inland Inc. on June 6, proposing to acquire the Austin, Texas-based company for $3.3 billion in cash. IPC said it would pay $30.60 a share for all of Temple-Inland’s 108 million shares outstanding. The deal represents a 46 percent premium to Temple-Inland’s closing stock price of $21.01 Monday, June 6. The offer comes after Temple Inland’s board unanimously rejected International Paper’s recent overtures. International Paper had 2010 sales of $25 billion. Temple Inland’s sales were $3.8 billion last year. In after-hours trading, Temple-Inland shares jumped 43 percent. International Paper was up 3 percent. In a statement, Temple-Inland said the offer “grossly undervalues” its

TRADENEWS SPACKLE BY DAVE COVERLY business and “is not in the best interest” of its shareholders. Since the housing market remains depressed, Temple-Inland said International Paper is being “extremely opportunistic” and “disadvantageous” to Temple-Inland stockholders.

ATI EXPANDS FIRE TESTING ACCREDITATION York, Pa.-based Architectural Testing Inc. has expanded its IAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 to include fire performance testing test methods for building-related products, ASTM E84-10b, “Standard Test Method for

Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials” (and by extension the similar test method, UL723), and ASTM E108, “Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Roof Coverings” (and the virtually identical UL790). ASTM E84-10b evaluates surface flame spread and smoke density of materials. E84 is applicable to wide range of products for which a flame spread index and smoke developed index is required, such as siding, ceiling tiles, exterior sheathing and siding, interior wall gypsum board or paneling, flooring, fabric for furniture and office partitions, pressure-treated lumber for wood decks and many others. “For years, ATI has been involved in small-scale fire testing such as per ASTM D635 plus ASTM D1929 and ASTM D2843 for plastics; now we are beginning to handle larger scale samples and systems, too,” said Miguel Zamarripa, ATI Fire Testing Program Manager. “This latest round of accreditations is part of a major new expansion program at ATI to develop a broad range

WELD-CRETE® and PLASTER-WELD® bonding agents. Over 50 years of superior performance in the field.

of fire testing capabilities and offer a faster-turnaround alternative to manufacturers of all types of building and furnishing products. It is just the beginning of the fire test offerings that will be available with ATI. These new capabilities provide an option for manufacturers interested in receiving superior customer service and results as part of their fire testing experience.” The expanded IAS accreditation also includes ASTM E108 testing and evaluation. ASTM E108 is the method by which Class A, Class B or Class C fire performance ratings are assigned to roofing materials based on exterior surface flame spread, smoke density and the ability of the roof covering material or system to resist fire penetration to the underside of a roof deck and the development of burning brands when subjected to wind. ATI also performs tests and evaluations for all roofingassociated products, materials and systems, including skylights, tubular daylighting devices and solar panels.

FOCUS

on

ICFs/SIPs Energy efficient ICFs AMVIC The company’s ICFs are hollow, lightweight “stay-inplace” forms made of two panels of EPS that are connected by 100-percent recycled plastic webs. The forms are stacked together. The wall is braced and then filled with concrete which creates a stable, energy efficient and sustainable structure. The products are well engineered, energy efficient, environmentally friendly and easy to use. The forms can contribute up to 20-plus points toward LEED certification as proven by a third party product assessment. If you read this article, please circle number 175.

ICFs for elevated concrete LITEFORM LiteDeck Wood Rib System is a carpenter-friendly EPS decking system designed for creating insulated concrete floors. Shoring requirements and installation methods are similar to the company’s LiteDeck but instead of integral steel furring strips, the WRS uses locally purchased lumber. The most common profile uses conventional 2x6 lumber or a light-gauge steel beam of the same size. An even “greener” profile uses an 117∕ 8-inch I-joist ripped lengthwise for support. Standard components are available in 8 foot lengths. This system is also compatible with LiteDeck’s “top hat” design and can create clear spans of 50-plus feet. Builders can also order WRS decking in custom lengths or with the ribs (2x6, 2x8, 2x10, I-joist, or light-gauge steel options) direct.

Multi-configured ICFs REWARD WALL SYSTEMS

The new zero-VOC mastic consists of polymers that are designed to remain flexible, yet provide a tight seal that eliminates water vapor and air infiltration into a building when installing structural insulated panels. It is able to resist moisture, dampness, and temperature fluctuations. In addition, it is contained in 20-ounce packs, which can compress down, reducing on-site waste and minimizing landfill space.

The company’s iForm system features a universal design that reduces on-site cuts and waste. Forms range in size from 9 to 17 inches thick and up to six form configurations. Each straight form has eight recycled polypropylene ties spaced 6 inches o.c. between 2½-inch thick foam panels. Furring strips are 1¼ inch wide and recessed behind the panel surface. An interlocking, 1-inch tall open tooth design reduces the intrusion of debris and concrete between teeth to allow for easy stacking. Reward offers in depth on site training and has a fully comprehensive technical manual available online for ICF construction professionals.

SIPs accessory PREMIER BUILDING SYSTEMS

Continuous insulation systems INSOFAST The company’s panels are engineered to provide continuous insulation with built-in attachment for a variety of building applications. The panels include a drain and dry surface on the backside, an integrated grid of wiring chases and a fully insulated stud. These integrated studs maintain continuous insulation without creating a thermal short circuit. They also provide two options for attachment, adhesive or mechanical fastening. The design allows for a more controlled cost on labor and materials with typical installation rates four times faster than traditional framing alone. The thin profile offers a valuable space saving alternative. If you read this article, please circle number 179.

GYPSUM BY MICHAEL GARDNER

Changes to the

Model Code Process?

Since 2000, when three regional building code organizations (BOCA International; SBCCI; ICBO) combined to form the International Code Council, the ICC has exercised near-total control over the United States building code creation process. While some towns and cities continue to enforce one of the legacy regional codes and a small number have adopted NFPA 5000, Building Construction and Safety Code, most jurisdictions enforce a version of the International Building Code or the International Residential Code. Simply put, the ICC family of codes governs the model building code process in the U.S. Streamlining the code development process from three regional codes to one set of national codes and eliminating supplemental code updates has significantly reduced the number of public hearings required to create a new edition of a code. Because one set of codes is used throughout the U.S., code language is more consistent between jurisdictions than it was twenty years ago. One can make the argument that the ICC codes have less regional flavor when compared to the predecessor codes; however, the IBC and IRC can be tweaked when adopted by a jurisdiction. A merger that many thought would never work has worked and model code documents are as strong now as they have ever been. However, not all is rosy in “codeland” as the current process does have its detractors. To its credit, the ICC is listening to them. What is being said, to a certain extent, is that its process needs to evolve to meet the needs of a changing constituency and marketplace while still retaining much of what has made it work in the past.

| Walls & Ceilings | July 2011

THE CHALLENGE TO INTEGRATE One challenge faced by the ICC is the need to integrate modern technology into its ballot process. With a few exceptions, U.S. model codes have traditionally been created in face-toface meetings that incorporate public testimony and a “one person, one vote” in-person approval process. While this process has historically worked well on a regional level, many ICC members, notably code officials with small office staffs, can no longer afford the cost or time involved to travel nationally to participate in the face-to-face process. As a result, many ICC members are pushing the organization to examine ways of using remote participation methods to facilitate individual participation in the code creation process. This was borne out in a 2010 survey conducted for the ICC by McKinley Marketing where 85 percent of the respondents surveyed (who self-identified as being current non-participants in the process) indicated that if remote participation were available, they would be more likely to participate in the code development process. In addition, more than 70 percent of the total survey respondents indicated that remote participation would increase the “interest of state and local officials in the code development process.” At the same time, however, less than one-third of the total respondents wanted the ICC to go “total tech” and redevelop the entire pro-

cess from the ground up. Instead more than half of the respondents wanted the ICC to integrate technology into the process while at the same time preserving some of the face-to-face development process as a primary vehicle for participation. While this sounds like a “cake and eat it, too” situation, it’s not. To the contrary, it points out the strong historical underpinnings of the current code development process and supports the premise that it produces strong text which creates safe buildings. What it really seems to be saying is that users of the code respect the current code development process but want to point out that it has become a bit dated in an era where contemporary standards-development activities are integrating electronic balloting and review technologies.

SEAMLESS ADJUSTMENTS Another challenge is ensuring that the creation process is transparent. As in-person voting participation has decreased over the past five years, the potential for special interest groups to manipulate or attempt to manipulate the final voting process has become apparent. When only a handful of individuals are present to vote on a specific item, it doesn’t take much effort to round up a support group of legitimate voters and bring them into the hearing room to vote. Never was this more apparent than during the residential sprinkler debate when a pro-sprinkler phalanx descended on the final action hearing, voted and departed. While their efforts likely were legitimate and they out-maneuvered the anti-sprinkler lobby by being more organized and efficient, the entire escapade looked suspicious, which in turn opened the ICC to significant criticism. So what should change and how should that change be accomplished? The ICC has spent much of the past year reviewing its code development process and has been sequentially releasing a series of meeting reports and documents identifying the topics discussed during the review process.

The documents clearly point out the desire of the ICC to modify its procedures to meet the needs of its changing constituency. However, they also point out the difficultly of making change. I had the opportunity to sit in on and participate in some of the meetings and, as a consequence, I fully understand the challenges that the ICC faces. One major factor hindering the change process is that codes are now developed on three-year cycles, not a one-year cycle as in the past. Consequently, if you implement a process change and it doesn’t work, then you must wait at least three years until the next cycle to attempt a fix. It’s all being given a lot of very serious thought by the ICC and its elected leaders. When change comes, and it likely will come, it will take a significant leadership commitment by those in charge to implement the needed modifications. What do I think is going to happen? Some thoughts: • I think the ICC will implement some type of remote balloting process or remote participation process. The masses are crying out for remote participation and the technology is there to accommodate it. It won’t be easy to implement, but it needs to be done in some form. • I don’t think face-to-face public hearings are going to disappear. Eliminating public hearings altogether would seem to strike directly at the heart of the code development process and would eliminate the vetting and discussion of code proposals that is an essential part of the development process. But how do you integrate public hearings into a remote process? Do you bring participants to a location and broadcast everything on the internet? Do you keep the committee hearing part of the process intact and make the final vote remote? Do you have committee hearings over the internet and bring everyone together for the final vote? How to combine the public hearing function with a remote voting process is a real challenge for the ICC and easy solutions are not apparent.

• The ICC likely will tighten up the requirements for voting members in an attempt to preclude individuals from obtaining memberships in order to vote on specific issues. While this was rumored to be a part of the aforementioned sprinkler voting situation, it has never been shown to have actually occurred. However, the ICC has taken the accusations to heart and appears to have identified some remedies that should address some registration loopholes. • I doubt that the current threeyear cycle calendar will change in the next couple of decades. In the past decade, the U.S. model code process has gradually evolved from three regional codes with one-year cycles to one national code with a three-year cycle. That’s considerable change and the marketplace needs a chance to adapt.

In my opinion, the ICC will not be well served if it fails to take advantage of the available technology to meet the needs of its voting constituents. I don’t think that will happen. Conversely, I don’t agree with those individuals who have urged the ICC to completely scrap and re-build its current code development process. While I appreciate some of the logic involved in such an approach, it strikes me as a bit rash. The existing code development process does work and has worked for many decades. Hopefully the ICC will respect it but will modify it in an attempt to move the organization forward.

Advanced

Energy Design Guides

The guide states that simply following a list of prescriptive recommendations (contained in the guide) is not enough and that IDP must be an integral part of the process for success. An entire chapter of the guide is dedicated to IDP, its definition, main principles, and organizational charts, and phases. It mirrors the AIA IDP documents A195, A295 and B195.

DO THE GUIDES WORK?

A series of design guides developed to help building designers and owners achieve 50 percent energy savings over ASHRAE Standard 90.1 - 2004 are now being rolled out. The first in this series of design guides, Advanced Advanced Energy Design Guide for Small to Medium Offi ce Buildings from up to 100,000 square feet is available now, free of charge. The guide was developed jointly by the US Department of Energy, The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, American Institute of Architects, U.S. Green Building Council and the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. The 50 percent energy design guide series picks up where the original series left off. The original series includes guides for six building types, and were developed for an energy savings of 30 percent beyond the 1999 version of ASHRAE Standard 90.1. In addition to the newly released design guide for small to medium office buildings, 50 percent AEDGs are planned for the following building types: • K-12 school buildings (planned for second quarter 2012) • Medium to large box retail buildings (planned for first quarter 2012) • Large hospitals (planned for second quarter 2012)

FIFTY PERCENT ENERGY SAVINGS MADE EASY ASHR AE claims that the design guides will allow practitioners to design buildings that achieve 50 per-

68

cent energy savings simply by following the prescriptive recommendations contained in the guides: “The recommendations in the guides allow those involved in designing or constructing the various building types to easily achieve advanced levels of energy savings without having to resort to detailed calculations or analyses.” The guide presents prescriptive design “packages” that are chosen by a design team based on a project’s climate, site, building use, code requirements and other factors. The introduction to the guide states that not all options presented will be appropriate for every project. Design recommendations included in the guide for 50 percent energy savings achievement include the building enclosure, lighting, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, building automation and controls, water heating and plug and process loads. Additional “bonus” savings recommendations not required to meet 50 percent energy savings are addressed in a separate chapter of the guide and include additional daylighting, natural ventilation and renewable energy systems. The guide stresses the importance of adopting an integrated project delivery process in achievement of the 50 percent energy savings goal.

For built and occupied buildings, available evidence that following the prescriptive recommendations of the energy guides is limited to a handful of case studies on the ASHRAE website for the original A E DG series. The five case studies presented add up to less than 100,000 square feet of conditioned space. There is no evidence presented in the case studies that show a connection between the various prescriptive measures employed and corresponding energy savings. Without this information, the guide’s effectiveness is impossible to evaluate. There is no way to know, for example, how much impact the solar PV array or the super-insulated walls, or the triple paned glazing had in getting the building to its energy guide goal of 30 percent better than Standard 90.1-1999. Also missing is anything showing the cost of these measures (and impact each had on overall energy efficiency). For the 50 percent energy guide series, technical support documents using computer simulations were done by Pacifi c Northwest National Laboratory for a small and medium sized offi ce building in each of the eight climate zones. The support documents include information on how additional costs of the prescriptive energy savings recommendations were calculated and, for the two heating systems studied, the payback period. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive list of costs for each recommendation with an accompanying payback estimate. The support document concludes that payback values

COMMENT

RESPONSE

You’re starting at a fairly high value (33 percent). What would a building look like with 25 percent window area?

We ran a model with 15 percent window to wall area on the west and saw about a 1 percent drop in energy usage. All sides could not be reduced to 15 percent, so if impact is closer to 0.5 percent average per side, including daylighting offset, impact for perhaps 25 percent overall might be closer to 2 percent total savings.

No look at the benefits of thermal mass?

PNNL ran models with 6-inch concrete wall added to frame wall. Overall R value of wall increased for concrete with insulation left the same as with the metal stud wall. Across all climates, impact was about 0.5 percent improved energy savings. At this modest improvement in energy, adding mass is unlikely to be cost effective.

We would suggest considering automatic shading controls.

Automatic shading was not necessary to achieve 50 percent savings with radiant systems. This could be considered for future work, particularly to enhance the performance of less costly HVAC systems. Automatic shading systems tend to be costly and require maintenance, so would not necessarily be among the first priority high performance energy measures.

The 90.1 envelope subcommittee has spent considerable time trying to incorporate continuous air barriers into the standard. This is another item where advanced energy savings can be obtained.

Continuous air barrier savings not available and no reasonable method to estimate identified for this study.

Consider natural/hybrid ventilation (at least for some climate zones).

Natural ventilation not effective in many climates and added cost high for hybrid systems.

for the advanced energy measure “packages” for the climates zones modeled do not create an unreasonably high economic burden in pursuing the 50 percent energy savings

50 percent energy savings: In climate Zone 4, add one part superinsulated wall, with 25 percent glazing at U value 0.37, one water source heat pump and voila. Fifty

Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive list of costs for each recommendation with an accompanying payback estimate. goal. We have to take the author’s word for it. Some of the most interesting information in the support documents is contained in the review comments and responses, included in the Appendices. Below are some highlights from this portion of the document:

CONCLUSION What I was hoping for in the guide was more of a recipe approach to

percent energy savings. Unfortunately, the opening promise that using the Advanced Energy Savings Design Guide allows a design team to achieve 50 percent energy savings “without having to resort to detailed calculations or analyses” seems too good to be true. There are many choices offered to the design team, but no “if-then” flow chart that assists in the decision making process. The guide allows

a designer to choose from 20 to 40 percent window-to-wall ratio, steel, wood or mass wall construction and several HVAC system packages, for example, but it does not offer any guidance on what impact different combinations of these choices will have on the goal/promise of 50 percent energy savings. The only way to know how much energy savings can be expected with various combinations of the recommendations presented is energy modeling. As a source of energy savings information, the guide is excellent. As an easily followed prescriptive pathway to achieving 50 percent energy savings in buildings, it falls short.

VOICES BY EVELYN SHAPIRO-O’CONNOR

The Threat of the

Underground Economy: Beyond White Collar Crime Jose and Arturo asked their boss for the money they were owed for working the previous two months. Don Milton reached under his jacket and removed his gun from its holster and placed it on the table in front of them. “Do we still

have anything to discuss?” he asked the workers. Jose and Arturo shook their heads “no” and returned to work. Every contractor understands the challenge of winning a bid in this difficult economy. Jobs are sent out by general contractors for second or third bids in an effort to cast a wider net for cheaper options. Estimators run their numbers repeatedly to see where they can peel back the numbers just a little more to secure another bid. For property owners this can be positive. If anything, this economic recession has created a much tighter, more competitive bid process. However, all of the work to tighten up bids amounts to nothing when an honest contractor is up against a cheater. The underground economy is the single issue that will make or break this industry for law-abiding contractors.

state revenue. However, this problem is not limited to misclassification, taxes or wage and hour issues. This complicated web can involve organized crime and even violence. Common underground economy violations range from basic wage claim issues to extensive white collar offenses and violent crime. Some examples of underground economy violations are: payment under minimum wage, no overtime pay, no pay, accident/injury fraud, kickbacks, illegal deductions, unfair labor practices, violence, contractors with no licenses or permits, extensive safety violations, prevailing wage cheating, misclassification, child labor, tampering with government records, racketeering, apprenticeship requirements ignored, drugs/human trafficking, use of labor brokers and more.

BY ANY OTHER NAME

LABOR BROKERS

What is the “underground economy?” The workings of the underground economy go by many familiar names; “misclassification fraud,” “cash economy,” “under the table work,” “wage theft,” “1099’ers.” Public and private agencies have done studies of wage cheating throughout the United States. Estimates of lost legitimate wages and government revenue loss vary, but most studies agree that the total reaches into the billions of dollars. In construction, the underground economy refers to contractors who cheat workers out of pay and defraud the government of taxes and other

What is a “labor broker?” A labor broker is also known as a subcontractor or coyote. A labor broker is essentially a middleman that an unscrupulous contractor uses as a second or third tier sub to supply workers and cut wages. Meanwhile, the primary subcontractor hopes to avoid lawful responsibility for his employees while also skirting federal and state regulations. Many subcontractors use labor brokers to provide and manage their labor force. These labor brokers tend to drive down wages, evade taxes and undercut the worker protection laws in general.

| Walls & Ceilings | July 2011

A labor broker will sometimes use a business license, though not always. Labor brokers typically use kickbacks and various forms of wage manipulation to steal wages and cheat government of taxes and revenue. Labor brokers are often in cahoots with check cashing schemes involving businesses and banks. Some labor brokers traffic drugs, as well as workers. Some labor brokers use violence, drugs, threats and organized crime to maintain a position of power over workers. “Octavio got hooked on drugs when his foreman gave him cocaine at work and told him it would make him work faster and he wouldn’t get so tired. Octavio was fifteen years old when he started hanging drywall for this company. He finally came forward to tell the truth about the company. When the contractor found out, they sent him on the road to a faraway job with the promise of steady work. Octavio was frightened that the contractor would physically harm him and had been hearing rumors from co-workers to that effect. He came to his senses, turned the car around and sought protection from the government.”— Drywall hanger, 2010 Many workers have reported that they have experienced some level of physical threat to stay quiet about their stolen wages.

AN INVISIBLE PROBLEM Over the last several years the underground economy has been monitored and fought by public and private agencies on a case-by-case basis. It has remained largely below the radar of the general public. Wage theft is a nightmare for general contractors and property owners who often get stuck with property liens.

“Contractors are increasingly shorting employees on hours or simply not paying at all. Workers regularly report that employers plead poverty and refuse to pay after the work is complete. A contractor’s timesheet states “We do not pay overtime” across the top in bold letters.” —PNWRCC union representative, 2010 In order to make a dent in the underground economy we have to understand the criminals and their connections. For example, there are two major labor brokers who operate in Washington and Oregon State. Marcos and Miguel use a variety of contractors’ licenses. They also have a string of companies to whom they regularly subcontract. They are known for prevailing wage cheating and physical threats. “On a job with labor brokers … we were earning piece rate, hanging drywall. We calculated the piece rate with the hours we worked, and found out we were breaking our backs for $5.50 per hour! That was over three dollars below Washington State minimum wage.” –-Anonymous drywall hanger, 2009

STEM THE TIDE Strong legislation is an important first step towards changing our industry. The Washington State Underground Economy Taskforce met for several years and successfully passed numerous bills designed to increase enforcement on unscrupulous contractors. Successorship legislation (RCW 51.16.200), helps to track contractors so that their record follows them when they attempt to open yet another crooked operation after closing the original identified one. Responsible contracting and bidding language are two legislative pieces that could make cheater contractors ineligible to bid before they even step up to the plate. Jim Mayfield of the Washington State Institute for Public Policy wrote a comprehensive report on these issues in 2009. In a recent attempt to impact the underground economy, Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis introduced a smartphone app called DOL Timesheet that helps workers track their hours—crucial evidence in any wage claim case. According to the

Associated Press, “The app is the latest example of the Obama administration’s push for more aggressive enforcement of wage and hour laws. The agency has hired about 300 more investigators to probe complaints of unpaid work time, lack of overtime pay and minimum wage violations.”

JUSTICE SWAMPED IS JUSTICE DENIED The DOL also initiated the “Bridge to Justice” program that helps aggrieved workers find private lawyers if the department’s Wage and Hour Division is too busy to handle a complaint. This tends to be a major problem in enforcement: the reality that our public agencies cannot handle the caseload that comes with so many violations. Private organizations must partner with public agencies on enforcement and information pooling. Legislation is not our only tool. As an industry, we must bolster good legislation by pushing for successful prosecution of cheating employers. We should utilize private and public remedies and push for criminal charges. In January 2011, Oregon Department of Justice Attorney General John Kroger charged Steve Nagy and his company, S&S Drywall Assemblies, on 24 counts of white collar crime. Among the charges were: criminal antitrust, racketeering, first-degree theft, obstructing administration, tampering with evidence, first degree forgery, conspiracy and money laundering. The company closed after investigators executed a search warrant in October. This is a prime example of cleaning up the interior systems market to make room for law-abiding contractors.

YOU CAN HELP There are five simple steps any contractor can follow in order to keep the underground economy on your radar and make an impact on this serious problem. 1) Carefully examine the rock-bottom bids that seem too good to be true (It probably is too good to be true and you will likely get stuck with the bill later, perhaps double). 2) Ask workers how much they earn. If a worker does not know what

his wage is, it is a red flag for you to investigate the validity of your subcontractor’s operation. 3) Make sure that subs are licensed/ bonded/insured. If a subcontractor is not legitimate, the contractor above them is responsible. 4) Make sure that subs are directing their own employees. 5) Make sure that payroll lists and attendance sheets match the number of workers onsite. To make a lasting impact on the underground economy, it is crucial that we unite as an industry across political and organizational lines. Getting the underground economy under control will be a clear win for contractors who want to compete in a fair market and for workers who want to get paid for their work without fear. The phrase “an hour worked is an hour paid” should be a mantra that workers, contractors and taxpayers can count on. Note: Some names of workers and contractors have been changed to protect personal identities and lawsuits that are currently in progress.

FINISH LINE BY ROBERT THOMAS

Keep it Dry Part 2

In the May column “Keep it Dry,” I talked about issues to be dealt with when using EIFS that incorporate a water resistive barrier. WRBs are most often used in the increasingly common EIFS with drainage. Most of the discussion in that article was about various design aspects. This month’s column will show examples, via drawings, of various common WRB conditions.

TYPES OF WATER RESISTANT BARRIERS Some W R Bs are applied with a trowel like the EIFS itself. Some can be spray-applied like paint. These two types stay in place by continuous bonding to the subs t rate. O t her W R B s a re she e t materials that are mechanically fastened, usually with staples (like building paper). This type can be installed by non-EIFS contractors

but usually it’s better to have the EIFS contractor do the entire EIFS, including the WRB. With sheet-type WRBs, the sheets must be overlapped shingle style. This presents the opportunity for slipping flashings behind the WRB or sticking sealant tapes to the surface —a handy feature —but also requires attaching the EIFS with mechanical fasteners.

WRB DETAIL DRAWINGS As with traditional EI FS , there are many variations of how EIFS with drainage can be detailed and installed. Each EIFS producer has their own way, but there are many

DRAWING 2

similarities from one product brand to another. The details (drawings) in this piece were provided by BASF Wall Systems and reflect the product names. The numbers on the drawings are used to guide you to the various design aspects of the detail that I will discuss (such as “1”, “2”, etc.)

BOTTOM-OF-WALL Drawing 1 is of a detail at the bottom of an EIFS wall. In Area 1, note how the joint between the ends of the sheathing pieces is taped together and a liquid-applied W RB is applied over the sheathing and tape. This helps maintain the continuity of the WRB should the supporting framing and sheathing move (which might crack the WRB). In Area 2 are the thick vertical stripes of adhesive used to attach the insulation to the WRB. This creates a drainage cavity. In Area 3, the layer of reinforcing tape is embedded in WRB materials and is lapped over the flashing below. This maintains the continuity of the WRB. In Area 4, note that the bottom of the wall must be left open so the water can leave the cavity. This can be done with a flashing or a simple slot. If the slot is large

and wide open, crawling bugs such as termites near the ground can get in behind the EIFS insulation. The same is true at window heads with flying insects.

WINDOW HEAD The window head in Drawing 2 is for the common condition where the outside face of the window frame is in line with the outside of the EIFS. In this case (note in Area 1) that the bottom edge of the EIFS is sealed shut to the flashing with caulking. But doing so continuously would seal whatever water might be flowing down in the drainage cavity, trapping it at the window head. In this design, shown in Area 2, weep tubes (plastic straws) are embedded in the sealant to allow the water to get out. This can also be accomplished by leaving small gaps in the sealant bead. In Area 3, note that the underside of the flash-

DRAWING 3 ing has caulking between it and the window frame.

SOFFIT The detail in Drawing 3 shows a transition between a vertical EIFS

wall— perhaps a fascia— and an EIFS soffit. This is a “trimless” detail (no flashing). The drainage for the fascia is via an open slot at A rea 1. Note that in A rea 2 that the EIFS is not an EIFS with

the

FINISH LINE In Area 2, the WRB is terminated with a flashing so the water can drain out. In Area 3, the lower EIFS is caulked shut so that water cannot get blown up under the flashing. Otherwise, a flashing with a long vertical leg that is potentially ugly would be needed.

THE FINISH LINE The use of WRBs adds to the cost of an EIFS. Sometimes they must be used to meet building codes but sometimes they are specified by owners and designers to improve the performance of the wall. In any event, the key to the successful use of WRBs is in the details of how they—and related materials adjacent to them—are integrated. The drawings shown give you some idea of how these details are done. EIFS producers all have their own way of doing WRBs and the details and materials they want used in their systems should be followed. Additional examples of WRB details are readily available online on EIFS producers’ websites. W&C

DRAWING 4 drainage but rather a traditional barrier EIFS.

FLOOR LINE Drawing 4 is an important one. It applies to floor line joints as well as to expansion joints. It’s an especially important detail in wood frame residential construction where EIFS

with drainage is often required by code. It is similar to the bottom-ofwall detail in Drawing 1, except that it also has EIFS below it. The key is Area 1, where a flexible tape is used to allow movement of the floor and framing without breaking the WRB. The same would apply to expansion joints (vertical and horizontal).

BUSINESS BY JIM OLSZTYNSKI

A Timely Tribute to

Tradespeople Movie reviews are not my specialty but this is an exception worth shouting from the rooftops. “The Tradesmen: Making an Art of Work” is an 88-minute social documentary that portrays the real life work, idiosyncrasies and personal convictions of a variety of working professionals including two plumbers, two painters, a stone/brick mason, several carpenters, two auto mechanics and numerous other craftsmen (and one woman). The film recognizes the essential contributions that these tradespeople provide and shows a few of the many challenges they face and the problems they solve in their everyday work. Their stories are combined with academic analysis of the socioeconomic, intellectual and philosophical aspects of modern trade work. Creator a nd host of Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs,” Mike Rowe, discusses the value and innovation found in today’s trade work which is commonly overlooked in our contemporary high-tech society. “The Tradesmen: Making an Art of Work” premiered in Baltimore, where it was filmed, on May 12. Don’t look for it at your neighborhood multiplex because documentaries of this nature don’t have a lot of blockbuster movie potential. Nonetheless, I viewed a DVD as a media courtesy and can say, without reservation, that most of you would give rave reviews to this film. It deserves widespread industry screenings and, even more important, should be shown to prospective apprentices and other public audiences tradespeople interface with.

THE TRADE CULTURE A somber tone permeates the film, especially in the beginning as it dwells on laments that will ring familiar to everyone who works in the trades these days—cultural bias, trade professionals

reluctant to have their kids follow in their footsteps, school officials favoring the academic over vocational track and the tendency of young people to shy away from physical and dirty work. After that, it becomes more uplifting when trade pros tell of the satisfaction and pride they take in their work. “I’d rather build the office, I can’t just sit there,” says one of the tradesmen. “You always hear the mayor or governor talking about building better neighborhoods. Well, I’m part of that,” says another. To me, the most important message of the film comes when it delves into the complexities of trade work, displaying it as a matter of brains as well as brawn. A plumber is shown thinking through a situation and talking about the satisfaction he gets from “figuring out how things can be made to work when you wouldn’t find an answer in a book.” A sociologist comments, “In some ways these people are smart beyond those with degrees.”

IT TAKES ALL KINDS Several tradespeople are portrayed who are artists by nature but gravitated toward trade work to make a living (artists’ commercial prospects are even bleaker than trade workers’). They are shown incorporating construction materials into their hobby artwork and putting their artistic talents to work in their trade craft. The film ends on an up beat, speculating about a possible “blue collar renaissance” spurred by green building and the need to shore up our nation’s infrastructure.

“The Tradesmen: Making an Art of Work” features classy production values, including beautiful photography with distinctive camera angles and close-ups, along with intelligent narration. It advocates a cause to be sure but rises above clumsy propaganda. The tradeworkers are shown not as heroic figures but as everyday people with quirks and flaws along with talent and drive. Director Richard Yeagley told me that while theatrical releases are a long shot, he hopes to gain exposure on TV, from DVD sales and online video streaming. When we talked in April, he was focused on promoting the film’s May 12 premiere in Baltimore, which is his home town and where almost everyone in the film— including Mike Rowe—has a tie. “In the following months we are hoping to screen it at several film festivals with the hope of receiving a distribution deal,” Yeagley added. “I intend to screen the film to as many audience members as possible. I happen to feel that the timing of this film, as well as the socioeconomic underpinnings and personalized aspects, allow for a broad-based appeal. We are currently reaching out for support from the documentary film world and construction/trade communities. I am always open to community or industry screenings.” This film would make for superb programming at industry conventions and conferences and as an ideal tool for apprenticeship recruiters.

the Science Channel’s Web site (see online resources). He spelled out the basic facts of what their company manufactures, how the work is performed and asked for information to make a formal request to produce a show on this product at their facility.

GETTING APPROVAL

How is

“How It’s Made” Made? We’ve all watched and enjoyed the Discovery Channel television show “How It’s Made” and maybe even had a passing thought about how great it would be to have such a program showcase and explain to the general public what it is we do. This column is devoted to two brothers, Davide and Angelo Ater n i no of Mou ldex E x terior Mouldings Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who took that idea and made it a reality. Dav ide a nd A ngelo’s mot her and father were immigrants from Italy who came to North America to build a better life for their family. Upon arriving to our shores, his father spoke no English and quickly found work as a painter among the Italian community. Their mother was employed in various factories as well as at a local hospital. As time went on, they opened and operated a pizzeria for several years until, once again, they returned to painting as the family began to grow. They raised five children, instilling in each a work ethic and a hearty amount of respect for establishing and staying focused on one’s goals as a means to success—in life

and in business. This advice was not lost on the Aternino brothers and has been a hallmark of their entrepreneurial spirit. T h e o l d e r b r o t h e r, A n g e l o , worked alongside their father and learned the painting trade, which eventually led him into the manufactured molding business. T he you nger brot her, D av ide , h ad worked in marketing before joining his brother in the molding business. Davide’s experience in public relations, advertising and the practical and artistic requirements for such a television show were extremely helpful in attracting the producers’ attention and bringing the whole concept to fruition.

GETTING STARTED The first step was to get the producers’ attention. Davide did this by contacting the company through an online forum that can be found on

The producers didn’t respond to the request very quickly, in fact it was months before he heard back from them. When he did, they wanted him to prepare a detailed outline of the steps required to manufacture the molding from a single large block of foam. He assembled a narrative for each step accompanied by photographs of the process. At first the producers were reluctant: they weren’t sure there were enough independent aspects to the process to fit their footage requirements. But Davide persisted in his pitch, noting the process really was both modern and similar to the one used for centuries with a template “knife” spreading the material to any desired shape. He tied in the ancient usages of molding and columns to this modern day architectural design feature and eventually after three more months, the show’s production company said the magic word, “Yes.”

PREPARING FOR FILMING The next step in the process was preparing for the film crew to arrive. To make an interesting and informative experience, the producers needed to film the manufacturing process from many different angles, which can require multiple “takes” of the same procedure. They needed to film everything in as short a time as possible. In Mouldex’s case, they did all the filming in a single day. To prepare for this required having several pieces of foam staged in each phase of the production process. For each shape that was filmed, there were five duplicates ready at each stage, five raw foam shapes for every piece seen, five with mesh ready for

applying the mud, five prefabricated with the mud already set and ready for a second pass; and of course, being ready to switch things out at a moment’s notice in the event a run didn’t go exactly as planned or something went wrong with the camera, lighting or other equipment … you get the point—always prepare for Murphy’s Law.

Before filming actually began, the staff at Mouldex had to walk Director Gabriel Hoss through each step of the process. Other than the still pictures provided by the Aterninos, this was the first time he had seen the facility and its equipment. They intentionally filmed the process in

sequence which helped with editing later on when they got back to the studio. Everyone was excited to be involved in the shoot, the employees actually performing the work were a bit nervous but the director and crew quickly put them at ease and the atmosphere was light and friendly.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! After months of back and forth Q&A, after more months of anxiously hoping for approval and after even more months waiting to be fit into the program’s schedule, the producers and film crew arrived at the Mouldex facility and turned the place into a movie studio for the day. A film crew of four (including the show’s producer, a camera man and two assistants) rolled up and unpacked their equipment. As the assistants set up the lighting equipment, the producer, camera man and the staff from Mouldex took a drive to get still shots of architectural molding that had been installed and finished on many Toronto area projects using Mouldex foam shapes. These still images would be used as inserts into the film as leaders and trailers to give the viewer a reference on what these things are and how they are used. People see finished architectural shapes every day, but few know how they are made, which, of course, is the whole point of the show and why it is so immensely popular.

Normally when the crew shoots on location they go out and grab fastfood to keep things moving along; not this time. The Aternino family made sure the crew felt welcome with a fresh spread of Italian meats, olives and cheeses. Breaking bread among the cast and crew helped everyone relax and made the afternoon shoot go just that much better. When shooting wrapped, everyone again enjoyed the Aternino hospitality at a Maple Leafs hockey game.

THE SCRIPT One of my favorite parts of this show is that they do such a great

job of voice-over narration. It’s done in such a way that the layman can understand the process even if they’ve never seen or heard of the product before. This process involves both the owner of the company and a writer from the show. Together they analyze every frame of the final draft footage and engage in a dialogue about what they are seeing. The writer absorbs the technical nuances f rom t he ow ner a nd t ra nslates them for the general public. One example would be a Q&A about why the hot knife machine cuts

shapes from various directions, which they explain in the film as a procedure that saves on material and reduces waste. After months of the process of applying to be on the show, 10-plus hours of filming, dozens more hours of setup time and several sessions back and forth with script writers paired with a great attitude and a lot of patience by the owners of Mouldex, all of that work resulted in five minutes of very informative television.
