President’s CornerChris Taylor, C.M. Taylor Contracting

As the “Parade of Homes” comes to an end, I hope that you had a chance to enjoy all

the impressive homes. It is truly amazing at how quickly the Builders, with their subcontractors,

can get all the pieces and parts to come together when the deadline such as the “Parade”

judging is near.

Thank you to St. Joe and Watersound Origins for being the “Central Site” and hosting

the kick off party. A good time was had by all that attended. The “Parade of Homes” could not

have been successful without all of the sponsors involved. A huge shout out goes to Gulf

Power, DR Horton, Architectural Gutter Systems, Okaloosa Gas, Chelco, Coastal Bank and

Trust, Ferguson, Gulf Coast Insulation, Homes and Land, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery, LP

Smart Side Trim and Siding, Prime Lending, Resort Quest, Sherwin Williams, Warren Averett

CPA’s and Advisors, Bluewater Central Vac, Century 21-Patsy Bland Team, Key Lime

Construction, Southern Paradise Homes, and the “Parade of Homes” committee.

In the near future, July 16-18, is the Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) in Orlando.

If you have not had the chance to attend I highly recommend it. The benefits of attending

include Educational courses, Networking with others in the industry, special appearances from

HGTV hosts, and an Expo Hall full of innovative products on the market.

Other events to attend here locally are the “Nail Driver’s” Golf Tournament on August 28

at Blackstone Golf Course in Mossy Head. Then on October 10 is the “Mike Josey Memorial

Sporting Clay Shoot.” Come out and test your skills at either or both of these events while

supporting a great cause. If you would rather just watch and mingle, please sign up to sponsor

or volunteer at the events.

We need more members! If you are not already a member, grab a friend or a business

associate and come join us! There are so many benefits included in your BIA membership.

Take a look around the website on www.biaow.org or give Alan Baggett or Jennifer Fleming a

call at (850) 863-5107 and sign up today.

where has the time gone? Thankfully we have used our time

wisely and continued our quest to assemble the most talented

The CBC is honored to welcome Eric Babin, of the award winning

company Babin Custom Builders, Inc. as its co-chair. Eric is also

a current member of the BIA Board of Directors and a 3rd gener-

ation builder with over 27 years of experience. As the chair, I am

delighted to have Eric help lead this inaugural CBC year.

On August 25, 2015 from 12 pm to 2 pm we will have our first

CBC meeting at “The Event Room” located at 1825 Hurlburt

Road, Suite 11, Fort Walton Beach, FL. By attending this lunch

you will have the opportunity create the direction of the council

and express the commercial industry issues you would like to see

addressed on our local, state and national levels. Additionally,

have to opportunity to help establish the mission and goals of the

council. Again, there will be no additional cost at this time for

participation in the luncheon, we just want you to bring your ideas

for a great council, and we hope to see you there!

DESTIN, FL, (May 26, 2015) – During National HurricanePreparedness Week, Acentria Insurance is encouraging home-owners and businesses to properly prepare for this hurricane sea-son by reviewing your insurance policies to ensure adequate cov-erage.

Hurricanes not only bring high winds but can also cause flooding,storm surges in coastal areas, and tornados, all of which arepotentially devastating to life and property.

According to the Insurance Information Institute, Florida account-ed for 14 percent of all U.S. insured catastrophe losses from1983 to 2013, which equates to $66.8 billion out of $478.4 bil-lion.

Standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover loss fromflooding, a common occurrence with hurricanes. The only way toprotect your home from floods is to purchase separate floodinsurance. Flood damage to automobiles is typically coveredunder the comprehensive portion of an auto policy.

Residents and business owners who do not live in coastal areasmay still face hazards of strong winds, heavy rain and inlandflooding. Renters should also consider a policy to cover personalbelongings as typically the landlord’s policy generally will notcover the loss of a tenant’s possessions. To properly protect yourhome, business or belongings, Acentria Insurance suggests apersonal or commercial flood policy in addition to a commercial,homeowners or renters policy tailored to specific needs.

“We encourage everyone to evaluate your current personal orcommercial coverage as we enter hurricane season,” said KendallMcEachern, CEO of Acentria Insurance. “Once a tropical storm orhurricane warning has been issued, you cannot obtain new oradditional coverage.”

“Ensuring you have adequate coverage is essential in proper hur-ricane preparedness,” says McEachern. He reminds us that itcould take up to 30 days for a flood policy to take effect.Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30, with powerfulstorms more likely to occur in September.

As part of your hurricane preparedness, Acentria Insurance rec-ommends accurately recording your possessions in the event youneed to file a claim. It is suggested that copies of photographs orvideo recordings of possessions be kept in a safe place outsideof your home or business, such as electronic cloud storage or asafe deposit box.

Anyone with questions about floor insurance, commercial, home-owners or renters policies, or other types of insurance can callAcentria Insurance for a complimentary policy review. For moreinformation on Acentria Insurance, call toll free 1-866-374-5084or visit www.Acentria.com. ###

Emerald Coast Science Center Fence Project

A special thank you to the following for their hard work in com-

pleting the first half of the wooden fence project for the Emerald

Coast Science Center’s (ECSC) new location in Fort Walton

Beach: BIA President Chris Taylor, BIA Vice President Jerremy

Whitehead, BIA Board Members Rick Goff and Kevin Reeves,

and volunteers AJ Twible and Chad Foy. These volunteers

worked for two solid days to complete the first 350 feet of the

700’ fence that is needed to secure the ECSC facility.

Thank you to Navarre Lumber & Supply, Inc. for their generous

donation of the supplies to complete the first half of this project.

Diane Frasier, Director of the ECSC, is working to obtain the addi-

tional materials needed to complete the fence.

We will keep you updated on the progress and hope you will join-

in and volunteer to help us complete this special project. With

your help, we can knock it out in one day.

The BIA Community Affairs Committee has communicated that

the next project will be for the Walton County Chamber of

Commerce. The Walton County Chamber of Commerce offices

were severely flooded in April of 2014. They are in need of dry-

wall, drywall installers, paint, and commercial grade carpet.

If you are interested in helping with these projects and becoming

a member of the BIA Community Affairs Committee please con-

tact Alan Baggett, BIA Executive Vice President.

Ask any contractor to list their biggest challenges and chances are they will list working with build-

ing code departments. With layers upon layers of regulations to contend with, it is no wonder that

builders and building departments can find themselves at odds in interpreting the codes.

The Florida Home Builders Association is proud to provide mem-

bers a solution through the 411 Code program. 411 Code pro-

vides members free access to 30-year building administration

veteran John Farinelli to ask questions, provide code interpreta-

tions and give plan review assistance and analysis for builders

who find themselves at odds with their local building depart-

ments.

As a self-proclaimed “Code Geek” who collects old codebooks

as a hobby, Mr. Farinelli is a widely respected expert in his field.

He is licensed by the state of Florida as a building code adminis-

trator, plans examiner and inspector in all disciplines and as a fire

safety inspector. Additionally, he is a Master Code Professional

holding 25 International Code Council (ICC) certifications, is cre-

dentialed as a LEED AP by the United States Green Building

Council and is certified as a Floodplain Manager by the

Association of State Floodplain Managers.

How can this member benefit help you? Consider the fol-lowing two cases:

Case Study 1A South Florida homebuilder contacted Mr. Farinelli to request his

assistance in interpreting the code requirements for a three-story

town home development near Tampa. The building department

required fire sprinklers. The homebuilder disagreed with the build-

ing department’s interpretation of the code. Mr. Farinelli reviewed

the applicable codes and sided with the homebuilder. He provid-

ed his analysis in a written report that the homebuilder presented

to the building code department. The building departmentaccepted Mr. Farinelli’s interpretation and the builder savedbetween $2.50 - $3.00 per square foot.

Case Study 2A Jacksonville builder found himself at odds with the local build-

ing department over a two-story, open-air parking deck. The

builder’s plan called for a stairwell, but the building department

insisted on an elevator. Mr. Farinelli examined the plans and the

code official’s opinion and determined the wrong code standard

was being applied. The code official had applied Florida

Accessibility Code standards when it fell under the Fair Housing

Act. Once again, Mr. Farinelli provided a report and thebuilder prevailed, saving time and money on the project.

Make the CallFlorida Home Builder Association members that contact Mr.

Farinelli can expect to receive a response within 24 hours and an

answer in as little as ten minutes or a long as five days, depend-

ing on the complexity of their request. “The calls I get from

builders vary. Sometimes they begin, ‘I’ve heard this rumor the

code is going to change or I’m having an issue with the design,

or help me clarify this,’” says Mr. Farinelli. “If I don’t know the

answer,” Farinelli says, “I call others in my network and then pro-

vide an interpretation that the builder can use to make an

informed decision or make their case. I provide an unbiased opin-

ion and interpretation of the code based upon my background

and experience.”

“I have traveled across this country instructing building code sem-

inars from New York to California and Canada to Florida, and I

can tell you the issue is usually the same – differing interpretations

of the code,” says Farinelli. “Codes are by nature dry, technical

documents with many grey areas open to interpretation. I enjoy

helping builders and code officials both find ways to work togeth-

er and achieve a safe and code compliant outcome.”
