THE VOICE OF THE

A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LOOK AT WALLS

When thinking about building or remodeling projects, most people focus on interior design, not the walls themselves. PURPLE drywall products from National Gypsum give customers mold- and moisture-resistant canvases upon which to work their decorating magic. Its an evolutionary leap forward, and that never goes out of style.

FRONT
BY MARK FOWLER

horse was thrashing his head about wildly and a bloody tooth landed at my feet. The horse had finally succumbed (whether it was submission or exhaustion, I was not certain). He would now allow a blanket and saddle to be placed on his back. However, when a rider set himself in the saddle, he found a bit more spirit and last remaining strength, and began to buck wildly in an attempt to throw the cowboy off. He again soon realized submission was inevitable. It reminds of the pirate phrase the beatings will continue until morale improves.

MATTER OF TRUST

Whites of Their Eyes


While I have not ridden a horse in years, ow up with years I did grow them and remember a few life lessons from those days. It was then that I was exposed to the difference between breaking and training and that difference was etched
emor p er m a ne n nt tl ly y i nto my m e mor y mo banks. In the equestrian world of getting the horse ready to accept a rider, both methods can accomplish the final goal but the methods are extremely different and the end result has differences that we may be able to apply to the world of construction. Breaking a horse is the appropriate term for the process; it is much faster than training a horse. Training takes time and patience on both the trainee and the trainer. Breaking is the process of quickly establishing who is in charge. It was in the 1960s and a horse ranch with a questionable reputation was a place I frequented. Stories always lingered about this ranch of cruelt y to horses. One mor n i ng, a t r uck load of w i ld horses were brought in. I vividly remember this one amazing animal. He was unloaded from the cat tle - ca r t y pe t railer a nd was magnificent in form, power and spirit. He was also very frightened the situation he in and the of f th he si ituation i h e was i n a nd d th he people around. His fears were soon to be justified. Two ranchers with ropes around his neck in opposing directions kept him somewhat under control or at least from escaping. He would rear up while keeping his eyes on the two men yanking him down. His attention was constantly shifting from one man to the other. I have never really seen the whites of a horses eyes before but his clearly displayed total fear of the situation he found himself in. This was just the start of breaking. One of the ranchers took a halter, which is a leather head harness with steel couplings, and started to violently beat the horse with the halter around his head. Understandably, the horse tried even harder to get free but after about an hour of relentless beating, he realized the only way the beating would stop was total submission. How violent was the beating? At one point the

Training, unlike the breaking process, is built more on trust between horse and human. At the end of the day, the result is the same but long term is what should be considered. I have owned horses that have been trained and broken; I eventually came to believe that the word broken was very appropriate. Horses that have been broken-in could not be trusted, which limits their full value. This is where I see similarities in our industry. Do we break or train our young people? Unfortunately, the construction industry is a world of little patience and meeting schedules dictate the day. The motto lead, follow or get run over is appropriate. Whether intentional or not, we tend to reward those who break in new crewsthey make these horses able to ride in a very short period of time. After a short time, the young wild horse learns to submit to authority, stay alive and safe and keep a job. For many in our industry, the end result is the samethe breakers just get us there faster, and since time is money in construction, it is hard to argue that point. Training takes time, building trust is work but worth it in the long run. Companies that train typically outlast companies that break in apprentices. W&C

This is our rst convention out of the state of Texas in many years and what better place than New Orleans to eat great food, gamble a little and visit with old friends, said the associations 2012-2013 President Brent Cannedy. The event kicked off with the Presidents Welcome Reception on June 12, followed by an outing at the neighboring Harrahs Casino. The next day, free time was had for attendees while the association held its board of director and annual business meetings. During these meetings, the hot topic was on labor shortage, with several of the members discussing what to do addressing the problem of a lack of laborers/skilled workers, said Dallass Specied Products Cannedy. Another issue discussed at the show was heard in the seminar Health Care Reform, which will be impacting employers very soon. This topic and what the government will be mandating is concerning a lot of employers. The seminars speaker Andy Adams outlined what the changes will entail. Other seminars included instal-

EIMA ADDRESSES CONGRESSIONAL ENERGY EXPO


The EIFS Industry Members Association participated in the 16th Annual Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency EXPO + Forum, held in Washington, D.C., in

June. The event included more than 50 businesses, government agencies, associations, and other organizations who share a common focus on energy in the United States. In addition to participating in the EXPO, EIMAs CEO/Executive Director David Johnston was a participant in a forum discussion on energy efciency. In this day and age where energy efciency is the new currency for judging the performance of any kind of building, taking another look at proven energy efficient systems, such as EIFS is a realistic response to almost unrealistic energy efcient requirements, Johnston said. He also addressed the advancements EIFS have made over the past several years, while pointing to inclusion in the 2009 and 2012 International Building Codes, as well as results from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory moisture and thermal control study, both validating the performance of the exterior wall cladding system.

ICFs/SIPs
All purpose/climate SIPs
INSULFOAM
Premier structural insulated panels can be used in all types of climatesincluding wet, rainy, humid and/ or cold regionsto create high-performance building envelopes. U.S. Dept. of Energy research shows SIPs are 15 times more airtight than stick framing, with 47 percent higher whole wall R-values. Premier SIPs are used in single family homes, multi-family, schools and other institutional and commercial buildings. Notable recent installations include the multi-family Puyallup Tribal Longhouse, recipient of the USGBC 2012 Project of the Year Award, and the Portland Community College Newberg Center, an AIA Committee On The Environment (COTE) Top Ten Green Project of 2012.

Eco-friendly ICF system


NUDURA CORP .
The companys forms provide eco-friendly, energy efficient building envelopes that offer strong performance benefits to minimize energy costs, maximize value, create a healthy indoor environment, and offer greater strength, storm, sound, and fire resistance. Manufactured with patented technologies and available in a variety of shapes and sizes, the wall system provides maximum strength to withstand 250 mph winds and maximum energy performance to reduce a buildings carbon footprint, contributing signicantly to LEED and Net-Zero specied projects.

Foundation insulation system


CERTAINTEED INSULATION
T-Roc is a composite panel comprising GlasRoc paperless gypsum boards permanently laminated to high R-value expanded polystyrene foam. The product is easily installed within conventional concrete wall forms at the time the foundation wall is poured, eliminating the need for stud frame out, batt insulation and drywall. The combination of GlasRoc and EPS delivers superior moisture resistance and provides no food source for mold growth, minimizing mold and mildew concerns. Once installed, T-Roc can be left as installed, painted as is, or can be finished using mesh tape and setting compound, followed by painting. The system enables building professionals to bypass several costly, time-intensive tasks required to turn foundation walls into nished walls as part of a livable basement space.

Environmentally friendly ICFs


BUILDBLOCK BUILDING SYSTEMS
The company produces BuildBlock, BuildDeck, BuildLock and GlobalBlock ICF wall and ooring systems. The forms are available in a variety of sizes with accessories for every application. Its key advantages include a molded-in tape measure. Numbered, vertical cut lines on every inch help eliminate the need for using a tape measure. Its extra heavy-duty attachment points are located every 8 inch vertically and every 6 inch horizontally, allowing for secure attachment of bracing or heavy cabinetry. The forms have molded-in markings that identify attachment points. Straight and corner forms are fully reversible. The industry standard 16-inch high forms produce less waste when cutting around doors and windows.

Flexible design ICF wall system


QUAD-LOCK
The companys ICFs provide the highest insulation values and exceptional design exibility. With only 4 main components, 12 R-values and wall configurations for any desired wall width, the ICFs are extremely versatile. All building elements can be created on-site with no special order parts required. The ICFs are an ideal system for extra insulation, radius walls and pre-tied rebar, and seamless integration of walls and oors. All products are manufactured under the ISO:9001 standard and the environmental standard for manufacturers, ISO:14001.

STUCCO stop
BY ALBERT CARRILLO

Continuous Insulation and Plaster Assemblies


Energy code regulations are requiring a more prevalent use of continuous insulation. CI designs are intended to prevent or minimize thermal transference (also known as thermal bridging). In our plastering industry, thermal
bridging is related to the natural thermal conductivity of steel used in light gauge framing and directly affects our current energy usage levels. Wood framing can also be attributed to thermal bridging but to a lesser degree than steel. The plastering industry has always been proactive with energy issues and has for many years been applying stucco over foam boards. This month well look at some three coat stucco assemblies over CI. If you read my last column (EIFS: A Solution for New Energy Efficiency Requirements, W&C May 2013) youll remember that I pointed out that EIFS meets the definition of a true continuous insulation cladding and was the first kid on the block that offered a continuous insulation system, as an exterior cladding. EIFS is a first consideration for designers and contractors to comply with the new energy codes. Stucco over CI also performs very well and really only loses minimal amounts of energy via transference (thermal bridging) from the fasteners and in some assemblies, the trims. Back in my plastering days, we did a fair amount of stucco over foam.

We had to have custom trims bent to make our weep screeds and casing beads for the three-coat assemblies. The control joints were affixed to the wire lath on the surface of the foam and we had to pay close attention to the fasteners to make sure they nested properly. It took a little longer than a conventional stucco assembly but after a short learning curve, it became second nature. Back in those days, there werent a lot of three-coat over foam assemblies; mostly we did one-coat over foam and it was on residential structures. Never the less, stucco has been applied over foam successfully for many years.

STUCCO ASSEMBLIES
A few years ago, The Western Conference of the Wall and Ceiling Institutes created a brochure to illustrate EIFS, one-coat stucco and three-coat stucco assemblies. The three-coat assemblies are those that are common, time proven and compliant to the new energy codes. The Western Conference is made up of industry technical experts from the Techni-

Figure 1

Figure 2

cal Services Information Bureau, the Northwest Wall and Ceiling Bureau, and the Wall and Ceiling Alliance who, based on their combined experiences, collaborated to illustrate these assemblies. The three-coat stucco assemblies illustrated represent the most commonly used and are only representative of the plastering industry. The assemblies are called PWA 104 (CI under cement plaster), PWA 105 (CI over cement plaster) and PWA 106 (exterior insulation with Z channels). The brochure also contains calculation tables that provide guidelines for selection of foam board thickness and cavity insulation R-values used to achieve the desires thermal resistance for a given wall assembly. PWA 104 This is the assembly I applied back in the day (Figure 1). It is the most straightforward assembly and is basically a conventional three-coat stucco and finish, over sheathing with an insulation layer of foam placed between the water-resistive barrier and the three-coat stucco assembly. Placing the WRB between the sheathing and the foam is the proper location. In this location the WRB can be fastened flat to the sheathing and wont become torn, like it would if it were on top of the foam, when fasteners go through it. As with any exterior cladding that has foam, all of the foam insulation must be completely encapsulated by either a metal trim, or a stucco layer. The stucco assembly is applied over the foam in compliance with ASTM C-926. With this PWA assembly, it is recommended that a lamina layer (polymer enhanced cement and mesh) be applied over the brown coat to minimize cracking. Cement or acrylic finish coats may be applied to this assembly. Ensure that the finish material is compatible with the lamina layer products. PWA 105 This is not an EIF system. In this assembly the scratch and brown are applied like any other three-coat

Figure 3

assembly, per ASTM C-926and should be hydrated properly ( Figure 2). There are exceptions though; you dont need to float or finish the brown coat and it is not recommended to apply a lamina layer over the brown coat either. EPS foam board is then adhered to the brown coat, a 4- to 6-ounce fiberglass mesh is embedded into a coat of polymer enriched cement, and then an acrylic finish coat is applied. I would recommend that you use the components manufactured by an established EIFS manufacturer for the CI layer. This assembly is excellent for retrofit to existing structures that may be required to meet the newer energy code requirements. PWA 106 This assembly utilizes a minimum 18 gauge Z furring member (max-

imum 2 inches depth) attached to a sheathed wall assembly along the framing members ( Figure 3). Foam board is then placed between the Z members and a layer of sheathing is attached to the outer face of the Z members. The Z members can act as a thermal bridge in this assembly however, the gypsum panels on each side of the Z member act as a moderate thermal break. To complete the thermal break a minimum 3/16-inch thick foam tape shall be added to the outer face of the Z member. The three-coat stucco assembly is then applied to this assembly per ASTM C-926. In this assembly a lamina layer over the brown coat is recommended when framing is spaced 24 inches o.c. Unlike the old days where we ordered special stucco accessories, there are new ones available for

these assemblies that are very well thought out and were specifically designed for the thickness increase of a CI stucco assembly. AMICO makes innovative trim pieces and utilize the common screws-as-fasteners method to assemble a CI stucco cladding. Brand X Metals is a new company that makes specially configured trims and utilizes both screw fasteners and the time proven method of wire-tying. Both are innovative and readily available.

EASE THE MIND


OK, lets address the 500-pound gorilla here: Wont the weight of the three-coat stucco shear off the fasteners since the cladding is cantilevered off the framing members? Our logical minds paint a mental picture of a catastrophic occurrence; stucco falling off the building and crashing to the ground, right? Rest your mind, testing has already been done. The Foam Sheathing Coalition published a technical document

Using Hydrotrim results in faster installation and finishing time which provides faster drying time between applications. This allows us to increase productivity, quality and profitability on our projects. Ted Gouge, Superintendent

titled Guide to Attaching Exterior Wall Coverings Through Foam Sheathing to Wood or Steel Framing. The Tech Matters document gives a step-by-step approach for the design process when assembling claddings over foam board insulation. There are charts that guide one to component selection, fastener spacing and foam thickness maximums. The criterion is irrespective of the type of cladding choice and all one needs to know is the weight of the cladding. (Note: these results didnt even take into account that stucco adheres readily to foam sheathing, a plus.) So, working from the chart, and keeping in mind that three-coat stucco weighs approximately 10 to 12 pounds per square foot, let me give you an example: If a wall assembly uses 33 mil steel studs, 16 inches o.c. and the lath is attached every 6 inches vertically, with #8 screws to the framing members, then the maximum foam thickness could be 3 inches (4 inches if you use #10 screws and 43 mil steel). Sustainable design is not a fadit isnt going to lose popularity and in fact, is the way we will be building into the future. The time and expense of building new power generating facilities is almost prohibitive. Our easiest path to stemming the demand is to reduce the demand through energy efficient design. Our codes are adopting more stringent thermal performance requirements and are increasingly becoming the force behind our sustainable design and application decisions. The continuous insulation cladding solutions specific to the plastering trades are time proven systems and assemblies. EIFS, a lightweight first choice true CI system, and stucco, a timeless classic assembly, both provide code compliant, insulating claddings, utilizing simple and familiar detailing. W&C

What Do

HOURLY FIRE RATINGS


A common misconception about hourly fire ratings is that they imply that a specific system will remain intact for the prescribed time of the hourly rating in an actual fire situation. In other words, the assumption is that a one-hour rated system will remain fully intact for at least one hour in a building fire. In reality, the ratings are better viewed as relative barometers of the tested performance of comparable systems. In this manner, they permit similar or disparate systems to be objectively evaluated from two points of view. The first perspective is the abilit y to benchmark systems composed from different materials. If you need to install a one-hour wall between a Post Office and a glass bottle storage facility, you can be confident that a one-hour rated gypsum board wall and a one-hour rated masonry wall will perform in an equivalent manner from a fire-resistance perspective. The test requirements for both systems are identical. The test process does not display a bias. T he se cond p ersp e c t ive pro vides the ability to benchmark systems when building codes require an increased fire-resistance rating based on life-safety requirements. Fire test results permit a ranking of performance that is based on the results of the test, not the construction of the system. Numerical fire resistance ratings created by ASTM E 119 tests may be considered as points of reference for comparison purposes; the higher the numerical rating (i.e., one, two, three, or four hour(s)), the greater is the systems comparative endurance. As an example, if the glass bottle storage business moves out of the space next to the Post Office and a day care center wants to move in, its quite likely that the one-hour wall between the two units will have to be replaced with a two-hour wall. The hourly rating system ensures that the new two-hour wall, regardless of what it is constructed from,

Fire Resistance
Ratings Mean?
A significant percentage of the gypsum board used in non-residential construction is incorporated into fireresistance-rated assemblies. The majority of the rated walls or partitions constructed with gypsum board
in the U. S. and Canada contain Type X gypsum board or an improved variation with a proprietary trade name. A handful of systems that use regular core gypsum board to create a rated system still exist; however, they are generally antiquated and supporting documentation can be difficult to obtain. Similar to regular core board, Type X gypsum board is manufactured in accordance with ASTM Standard C 1396, Standard Specification for Gypsum Board. Specific language in the C 1396 standard establishes the criteria for determining Type X compliance for individual board products. Section 703.2 of The International Building Code contains a provision that fire resistance ratings generally are to be determined in accordance with the test procedures set forth in ASTM E119 or UL 263. The code contains language that permits the use of some alternate methods of establishing fire resistance; however, it primarily establishes the need for a system to be tested to the ASTM Standard E 119, Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials or a recognized equivalent. Other codes and standards also reference the E119 test method, or an equivalent, such as UL 263, as the benchmark for fire resistance testing. The ASTM E119 Standard has been used continuously since 1918. It is the primary test method used to determine hourly fire resistance ratings for systems that incorporate gypsum panel products, including gypsum board. It is also used for wood, masonry, glass, plaster, steel, and other systems. A variety of refinements have been made to the E 119 standard since 1918; however, several of the test criteria, including the conditions required to pass an individual fire test, have remained essentially unchanged. The test method in the ASTM E 119 standard evaluates the ability of an assembly [system] to contain a fire or to retain its structural integrity, or both, during the test conditions imposed by the standard. The test method exposes the system to heat and flame and, based on its performance when evaluated against a series of pass/fail criteria, establishes an endurance time for the system. The endurance time achieved is converted to an hourly rating. Referencing of the test method(s) by the IBC facilitates comparisons of fire resistance ratings of systems that have been objectively evaluated by a neutral party. As noted prior, the requirements for a system do not vary based on the materials used to construct the system. As an example, for a system to receive a one-hour fire resistance rating, all requirements of an ASTM E 119 test must be met in a testing laboratory furnace for at least 59 minutes and 30 seconds for that specific system and with those specific components of the system. Note that ratings are rounded up or down to the nearest minute.

will provide better protection from a fire-resistance perspective than the original one-hour wall. Committees that control the content of the various test standards occasionally discuss the concept of eliminating the time element of the test classification system and substituting a simple ranking system that would classify the performance of systems using letters, such as A,B,C,D, or numbers (1,2,3,4). One problem with trying to change the current system is that building codes contain partial hour rating requirements for some conditions. In a practical sense, its simpler to reduce a rating from 60 minutes to 45 or 30 minutes as opposed to backing it down from A to 3/4 A or 1/2 A because, while the end result might be the same, the numerical systems seem to intuitively accommodate the change better. Another issue is that tests are conducted using a timing device, so regardless of how the results are classified those in the know will always be able to equate a rating to a time. As a result, under the current testing protocol, the difference between a time-relevant number and a reference letter would essentially be meaningless. This latter point is notable, because it seems that the use of time as a measurement criterion creates much of the confusion about fire tests. Reporting test results as a function of time while simultaneously trying to create a disconnect between the time of the test and the performance of the system seems to imply a distinction without a difference. But, in reality, it is an appropriate distinction because the results of an ASTM E 119 test should only be considered as laboratory test results to be used to evaluate the general fire resistance of systems such as walls, columns, slabs, and floor- and roof-ceiling assemblies. The results are neither precise predictors of future performance of the system or an indication of the individual fire resistance of the individual products that make up the system. The E 119 test method measures the performance of a specific system, composed of specific materials, constructed in a specific test furnace at a finite point in time. In this manner, it is best viewed as producing a snapshot of a single system at a given time. It is important to reiterate that the test process is neutral and does not discriminate against or distinguish between materials or systems. While some subtle differences may exist between test facilities, reputable testing organizations conduct individual tests in accordance with a prescribed methodology that must be followed if a legitimate system report is to be obtained. An objective evaluation of a test report should begin with verification of the test method used to perform the test. Once the test method has been established as legitimate, the remainder of the review process becomes much simpler. W&C

Super Fiber
Making a Comeback?
What do the Declaration of Independence, the sails of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria and plastic panels in BMW and Mercedes Benz automobiles all have in common? All were/are made with industrial hemp. The United States
is one of the biggest consumers of industrial hemp, but due to antiquated laws associating industrial hemp with its psychoactive-drugcousin marijuana, industrial hemp has been illegal to grow in the U.S. since 1957. That may be changing soon. The state of Kentucky recently passed legislation, joining eight other states (Colorado, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia) that has defined industrial hemp as distinct from marijuana and removed barriers to its production. State legislation is an important rst step toward domestic production of industrial hemp, and work is under way to pass federal legislation to remove hemp from the Drug Enforcement Administrations list of illicit drugs. Once this happens, farmers in the United States can again begin producing industrial hemp for the many products it is found in and can be used for. According to the North American Industrial Hemp Council, the number of products that can be made from hemp number more than 25,000. Products that include food (milk, granola, butter, protein powder, etc.), cosmetics (moisturizing cream, shampoo, soap, deodorant), textiles (belts, pants, shirts, wallets), paper, molded plastics, medicines, livestock feed and bedding, and building materials (insulation, walls, shingles, bricks). The great variation in product types made with hemp corresponds to the great variation in the plant itself. Industrial hemp has a very low amount of the psychoactive drug contained in marijuana, too low to be a practical source of intoxicant. According to the paper Hemp: A New Crop with New Uses for North America:

Banned

Both in Canada and the U.S., the most critical problem to be addressed for commercial exploitation of C. sativa [hemp] is the possible unauthorized drug use of the plant. Indeed, the reason hemp cultivation was made illegal in North America was concern that the hemp crop was a drug menace. The drug potential is, for practical purposes, measured by the presence of THC. T HC is the worlds most popular illicit chemical, and indeed the fourth most popular recreational drug, after caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. Industrial hemp is a phrase that has become common to designate hemp used for commercial non-intoxicant purposes.

LIME TIME
Hemp has been used for construction materials such as composite fiberboard, thermal insulation, foundation blocks, and shingles. None of these materials have made much of an impact on mainstream markets but a rediscovered building material made of hemp and lime, called LimeHemp Concrete. According to some sources LHC is a very old building material, discovered by archaeologists in France in a bridge abutment that was constructed between 500 to 751 A.D. Industrial hemp shiv is unique among all other natural fibers due to its high silica content. It is this property that, when mixed with lime, reacts to produce a strong, lightweight, stone-like material. Hemp shiv is also a good insulator, good for an R-value of up to 2.5 per inch. The lime in LHC surrounds and encapsulates the hemp, its high pH protecting it from mold and bacterial growth. LHC walls are vapor open, and act similarly to a mass wall, absorbing moisture and releasing it again, in either direction, without allowing bulk water to pass through the wall assembly. LHC is a sustainable material like few others.

Industrial hemp, as well as being rapidly renewable, grows in almost any climate, requires no pesticides, very little fertilizer, is fast growing and a high yield crop. Lime has a much lower embodied energy than cement, is f lexible, self-healing, weather-resistant, and can be used to nish LHC as a plaster on both interior and exterior surfaces. American Lime Technology has recently introduced a factory mixed LHC for the North American construction market called Hemcrete. Hemcrete is made from imported hemp stalk (or shiv) from England and domestically produced lime. The company has been working on the development of a domestic source of hemp shiv in Canada, which it hopes to begin using as early as 2014. The ingredients for Hemcrete are sold to contractors in separate bags, and mixed on site with water to produce a woody slurry that is placed by hand within a wood-reinforcedframed wall. Walls are typically 10 to 16 inches thick, depending on required R-value. Hemcrete walls cannot be loaded vertically, but can withstand as much as a 90 mph wind load and also work very well as shear walls. Tim Callahan of Alembic Studio in Asheville, N.C., has been designing and building with LHC for several years now, having introduced the material in the United States in his rst Hemcrete home, called the Nauhaus. Callahan says that, all things equal, using Hemcrete in lieu of a traditional wood framed and insulated wall adds approximately 10

percent to a homes overall construction cost. For Callahan and his clients, the added cost is well worth the health benets realized in using the material which include better IAQ, no allergens and no mold. In addition to Hemcrete, American Lime Technology also offers hemp ber insulation, prefabricated hemp wall panels, lime mortar, and lime stucco. Its hemp ber insulation has an R-value similar to berglass insulation and is installed in the same way, between framing members. As well as being a rapidly renewable material, its breathability is unique and is able to absorb and release moisture helping to regulate internal moisture levels to enhance human comfort and reduces the risk of condensation according to the companys website. ALT will soon be launching prefabricated wall panels made of Hemcrete, hemp ber insulation, wood framing, and various sheathing products. The panels are designed to be hung from wood or steel supports, as cladding or interior partitions. ALT hopes that this hemp-based product will find its way into commercial construction, as hand-placed Hemcrete is more appropriate for single family houses.

CONCLUSION
Hemp production in the United States peaked in 1943 at more than 150 million pounds on 146,000 acres in direct response to the federal governments urging for products made from hemp in support of American troops serving in World War II. Pro-

duction declined radically after the war and by the late 1950s, there was no recorded production in the U.S. Because of hemps association with marijuana, the United States Congress passed federal legislation that ensured an end to production of all forms of hemp, including industrial types. For more than 10 years, many states and state congressmen have been campaigning for an end to this legislation to allow industrial hemp to be cultivated again on U.S. soil. Several states have enacted legislation to allow farmers to grow industrial hemp, which can be used to make a huge variety of products much more sustainably than many alternatives. Although independent reports in the U.S. indicate low potential for market growth of hemp-based products, more recent studies from Canada, which has allowed hemp farming since the late 1990s, show strong consumer demand for these products. According to the Congressional Research Service paper Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity, Given the existence of these small-scale, but profitable, niche markets for a wide array of industrial and consumer products, commercial hemp industry in the United States could provide opportunities as an economically viable alternative crop for some U.S. growers.

How to be a

Greater Asset for General Contractors (Part 2)


In the first installment of Learn How to be a Greater Asset for General Contractors (W&C, June 2013) the answers to the questions Why me? and Why this subcontractor? were raised. Being the low bidder is not enough. Bid
activities were reviewed and certain differentiators were called out, enabling a subcontractor to demonstrate value to a general contractor. The subcontractor that is able to be both detailed and flexible in the information he provides to a GC shows his worth. Package information that can be summarized in various waysarea, phase, floor and then digitally (electronically) communicated in a timely and efficient manner further elevates the subcontractors value to the GC. These preaward measures are essential first steps in solidifying a subcontractors importance to a GCs success. Subcontractors must continue to establish their value to a GC postbid. This is where the largest bottom line value-add arises. Once a project has been awarded, GCs focus on new and different concerns from those during the bid phase. Their attention is now concentrated on delivering a quality project on schedule and within budget. A subcontractor that enables a GC to meet these goals is critical to the success of the project and the GC. There are a few critical points of the build phase in which subcontractors influence a successful outcome.

work ranks among the most sought after traits of a subcontractor. A close second is staying on schedule. When the project is under construction, a valued subcontractor helps the GC build on schedule, at least the part the subcontractor is providing, and become an A team player. S.M.A.R.T. objectives have long been a part of corporate office culture but it is time to take this to the construction site. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time bound goals have a place with the field crew. The more that work is laid out for crews in precise, track-able, do-able, understandable, and scheduled ways, the more likely the crew is to deliver exactly what is needed in the time allotted. A crew managed with S.M.A.R.T. standards has a much greater probability of delivering higher quality with fewer punch list items. Stocking reports let the subcontractor know exactly where and when materials are needed so that the crew isnt idle. Placing materials and crew in the same place sounds simplebut even 15 minutes of lost work time chips away at profitability. Staying on top of hours worked and materials used keeps the subcontractors site manager informed of possible overruns. Using automated job cost reporting, the subcontractor monitors a job to date status.

JOB SITE COORDINATION


Each job site is unique and has its own set of challenges but the work activities performed remain similar across jobs. General contractors need subcontractors who are proactive and learn from previous work. On-going education and training of the crew should be a normal course of business. They should be trained on equipment, safety, or construction automation methods. Investing in a good crew will deliver quality and productivity to the project. The subcontractor needs to know where the crew stands compared to schedule. The job site foreman should close each day walking the site and indicating what work has been completed. This is easily done using a tablet in the fieldno need

CREW ALLOCATION FOR SCHEDULING


GCs look for quality across the projectfrom bid to closeout. There have been many modifications to crews across the last three plus years. Subcontractors have reduced overall crew numbers but have been able to retain top talent. Quality of

to be in the office or trailer or standing at the gang-box waiting for someone else to indicate results. This information is then easily shared with the office immediately over an internet connection. Identifying the percent complete and color-coded results indicate whether the crew is on or off schedule and whether the project is or isnt profitable. The real question that subcontractors need to ask themselves is Do I know where I am going? It is one thing to know where the project budget stands after payroll is posted. After all hindsight is 20/20. Leveraging project management automation, the subcontractor sees where the crew has worked but most importantly it will control where the crew will work next. Reactive project management simply allows subcontractors to notify the GC that there are problems but by the time adjustments are made another week is gone and the mag-

nitude has increased. When the subcontractor controls where the project is going, he is being proactive which allows problem resolution upfront.

CONCLUSION
Involvement by a subcontractor in all phases of a project (pre-bid, bid, build, and closeout) ensures a GCs success. Collaborative efforts and ongoing communication between these roles provides a win-win-win situation for the subcontractor, the GC and the owner. When success is reached by all three parties on one project it is more likely that the combination will want to leverage each other for future projects. Trusted relationships and partnerships have a foundation built one successful project after another. Focusing on scope of work, critical communication, itemizing scope, crew allocation, and job site coordination elevates the subcontractor in the eyes of the GC.

It is challenging to describe the relationship between general contractors and subcontractors. The GC that respects and collaborates with the subcontractor understands that the financial wellbeing of the subcontractor is critical to the wellbeing of the GC. Subcontractors that take the time to identify a differentiating value proposition will be recognized by the GCs. Subcontractors need to build a positive reputation and be the trusted provider of trade business for the GC, who in turn will reward these efforts with repeat business and on time payments. Given the smaller and smaller or perhaps nonexistent backlog of work (and carryover profits) that subcontractors currently are facing, they realize the dilemma they faceunited we stand, divided we fall.
