Year in Review 2022: Opening New Doors Phil Crone, JD, CGP, GSP Executive Officer Continued on page 4 Matt Mitchell A few years from now, especially when hindsight bias sets in, history will likely recall 2022 as the start of the great normalization. It will be marked as the year when the chaos and consternation of the pandemic-defined economy began its bumpy reversion back to a more steady and predictable market. With the year fresh in kept an eagle eye on the job’s finances, the donation of more than $200,000 of goods and services, and one remarkable

Even then, with plenty of work ahead of us, you could see what was in store and realize we would soon be opening new doors. I mean this literally with our beautiful new iron entry unit in the front and figuratively with all of the opportunities the reopening of our beautiful building created.

time for Dallas BA members to begin plan- ning for Rally Day, the Association’s major grassroots advocacy event for state policy. On March 29, Dallas BA members will have the opportunity to visit the Texas Capitol to meet with our service area’s State Senators and Representatives in the Texas Legislature. This is part of a statewide effort where we will join HBAs from around the state to impress upon the legislature the economic benefit home building brings to Texas and the need for a regulatory environment that protects the availability of housing. The event is coordinated with the Texas Association of Builders (TAB). Registration will open soon, and partner - ships are available. The event is always a fun time for our members and another opportunity for networking. Another opportunity to participate in
advocacy is through HOMEPAC of Greater Dallas, the non-partisan action committee open to Association members. In addition to the local, state, and federal advocacy in which Dallas BA will engage this year, we must also make the industry’s voice heard in the upcoming Spring municipal elections. There are kay cities with seats up for election this May, including the entire Dallas City Council. Members who are interested in participating can contact the Director of Government Affairs. We appreciate the participation of our membership in our government relations activities. Obviously, with so much going on just in the first half of 2023, the new year brings a lot of opportunity. Members who have questions about any of the items mentioned here, or other Dallas BA advocacy efforts, can contact the Director of Government Affairs at David. Lehde@DallasBuilders.com.
Session on Jan. 10. With it comes issues on which the Association and our members will need to be heard. And that comes in addition to the local advocacy efforts that take no break. Dallas BA has continued its outreach in Denton regarding the city’s update of roadway impact fees. Dallas BA and the development community received a copy of the city’s impact fee study in early December. The study shows a more than doubling of the maximum allowable fee. To be clear, that fee is not what is assessed per rooftop, however, a percentage of that maximum is what cities will ultimately set as the fee per home. Currently, that collection rate is $2,000 per dwelling unit for single-family. That is based on the current maximum allowable roadway impact fees that range from $6,174 to $10,980. The higher the demand for infrastruc- ture projects, the higher the maximum fee. In the previous adoption, the City Council approved the rate at about 20%. Recent discussions at city hall have heard propos- als for collection rates that are 30 to 50%, and even 75% of the maximum allowable roadway fee. Dallas BA, and some council members, and voiced concern about raising the fee to high, as it will impact housing attainability. The City of Dallas is in the process of drafting their adoption of the 2021 International Code Council building codes, including the Residential Code (IRC), Building Code (IBC) and Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with local amendments. Included in the recent draft that has moved through the city’s Building Inspections Advisor, Examining and Appeals Board are provisions that call for EV Ready and Future Solar Electric panel space. The EV Ready Space provision man - dates that One- and two-family dwellings and townhouses have a designated parking space that is to be provided with a higher volt dedicated branch circuit for the use of electric vehicle charging stations. There are requirements related to
This provision is not a requirement in the 2021 I-codes, rather it is an option listed in the appendix. In 2021, the Regional Codes Coordinating Committee (RCCC) voted down an attempt to make it a rec - ommended amendment in the NCTCOG regional amendments. Also added via amendment are Solar Ready provisions that require electrical panel space to be reserved for the installa- tion of a dual pole circuit breaker for future solar use. This was also not a requirement in the 2021 I-codes and only an option in the appendix. An attempt to make it a recommended requirement in the regional amendments was voted down at the RCCC. During this process, Dallas BA has submitted a rebuttal that recommends that these items would more appropriately be addressed via an option accompanied by an incentive, to better meet the city’s goals, as opposed to a mandate that will be paid for by homeowners who for a product most of them will never use. At a time when housing affordability is a top concern, it is just bad policy to implement these types of requirements because it’s the popular thing to do or it makes policy makers feel good about themselves. It is even worse housing policy to push such requirements in an agenda to try and increase the usage of a certain type of vehicle. Whether it is a desire to drive the sale of a vehicle or to increase energy efficiency, neither would see much benefit from such an ordinance. Residential build- ing codes should stay focused on the home. And it is important to note that new homes have doubled efficiency when compared to 15 years ago. There is good news in the City of Dallas on the permitting front. At its December meeting with Dallas BA, the Building Inspections department informed that they have reached a preliminary goal of getting the number of backlogged per - mits out beyond 15 days down to zero. The department is still focused on reducing the number of days to get permit applications processed and permits issued. With the Texas Legislature kicking off the 88th Session on Jan. 10, it’s already

builder. That builder, of course, is Michael Turner with Classic Urban Homes. As I said at the ribbon cutting ceremony, the hundreds of hours Mi - chael dedicated to this project, with no expectation of reimbursement, is one of the most selfless and extraordinary acts of volunteerism in the nearly 80 -year history of the Dallas Builders Association. The recovery and rebuild- ing efforts earned us several accolades including an Association Excellence Award from NAHB and the Texas Association of Builders’ Association Accomplishment of the Year. One of those most happy to see our headquarters reopened was Operations Officer and Education Director, Sheena Beaver. Our educa - tion program served more than 300 industry professionals between June and December proving, once again, why it is one of the most successful in the nation. The 86 hours of coursework taught in 2022 included new instruc- tors and committee volunteers and vastly expanded our on-demand li - brary of pertinent topics. The program has an audacious agenda for 2023 that will combine NAHB’s hybrid courses and newly-formed local certifications. The Dallas BA also opened its

doors to dozens of new members last year. In fact, we reached a new (post-Great Recession) high of 1,143 builders and associates towards the end of the year and a strong 81.3 percent retention rate. Membership Chairman Chris Clay with 2-10 Home Buyer’s Warranty once again led by example, winning the Shorty Howard Award for most new members recruited for the second consecutive year. Each of our After Hours events were packed and averaged more than 130 members. The free beer certainly helped, but so did the generosity of all our gracious hosts who opened their showrooms and gave out fantastic food and prizes. After Hours will be back on Jan. 19 thanks to Yearlong
Membership Partner StrucSure Home Warranty, who will help us honor our top all-time membership recruiters. We also held three well-attended New Member Welcome Breakfast events last year. All of them packed the conference room with enthusiastic builders and associates. Along with continuing to help us grow, Director of Membership Coleman Yates and the membership committee will be focused on helping new and existing members get more involved in the Dallas BA. As the market normalizes, so will the dynamic between builder and associate members. Our builder membership has grown significantly over the past two years and the Dallas BA’s role in cultivating new business relationships will be more important than ever in 2023. Our divisions, councils and spe - cial events continued to help members grow their business and give back to our community in 2022. The Dallas Division continued to be spot on with pertinent programming. A big reason for that is longtime volunteer Joe Mazza. Joe has been steadfast and dedicated to booking the Division’s programs for as long as I can remem- ber and he is always at the meetings greeting new and old friends with a warm handshake and welcoming demeanor. The Multifamily Builders Coun- cil donated $8,600 and more than 100 toys to the Samaritan Inn, helping bring Christmas to children suffering from homelessness. They also packed the course for their sold-out golf tournament and are becoming more ingrained in other association events. The Metro East Division’s new- found focus on connecting builders and associates in their region led to a spectacular increase in attendance and provided a conduit for several new
members to become involved with the Dallas BA. They kept their strong partnerships with Lone Star CASA firing on all cylinders, raising nearly $75,000 to help protect the interests of abused and neglected children caught up in the courts system. 2022 also brought us a new coun- cil, Professional Women in Building. The PWB hit the ground running with stellar programming and fundraising. They outraised every other division and council in terms of partnerships and have more big things in store. Staff Director of Meetings and Events Misty Varsalone did an ex - traordinary job coordinating our major events. Those included old favorites such as the State of the Industry Sum - mit (so nice we now do it twice), the McSAM Awards, our golf tournament, and Casino Christmas. Misty also initi- ated the return of Speed Networking and our first-ever Trivia Night. While our meetings and events were connecting the industry with itself, our advocacy efforts, led by

need your help though. Therefore, be sure to mark your calendars for Rally Day on March 29. You don’t need me to tell you that today’s market is different from what we had a year ago. While history may call it the great normalization, it is not a pain-free adjustment. Consequently, it is important for us to tell our story with the candor and perspective of a trusted local source. We’ve fortunately had that oppor- tunity more so now than ever before. Last year, I told our Communications Director Barcie Vilches that, in my 15 years with the Dallas BA, I can - not recall receiving as many media inquiries as we did. Somehow 2022 managed to top that. In Barcie’s estimation (which means this is absolutely the case), we are more visible than we have ever been. This year’s coverage included all of the major local print and televi - sion stations and also the Washington Post , AP News International and Fox Business. Being a visible, relevant and trusted local source is probably our most improved area in recent years. A huge part of that success is owed not only to Barcie, but also to Creative and Marketing Coordinator Holly Pember - ton. Our evolution continued in 2022 which saw our official publication since 1947, The Home Builder , become an interactive flip book. Making the transition from print to digital allows staff to include more timely content and direct links to email addresses, event registrations, web pages and supporting documents. We can also reach a much larger distribu- tion list via email and on social media. The list of members who contrib- uted to all our milestones in 2022 is too

Director of Government Affairs David Lehde, pushed our housing first mes - sage into the policy arena. The tough- est job for us here involved helping the City of Dallas through their two- year battle with permitting mediocrity. At long last, we did finally make some progress. Thanks to the strong collective voice of our Dallas Divi- sion, the city filled the long-vacant Chief and Deputy Building Official positions and added an Assistant Di- rector for Land Development. Each of these officials and others have taken ownership of the problem, cleared the backlog and are working with us to make processes and policies more efficient and effective. David remains extremely active in Denton, where the city is reviewing its roadway impact fees. Earlier in the year, his efforts reduced the city’s park fee proposal by $1,500 per lot. With the pandemic behind us, it was time to take the show on the road to Washington, DC. In June, As - sociation leaders met with our local Congressional delegation on Capitol Hill addressing supply chain concerns, rising interest rates and other afford - ability challenges. Our political action committee, HOMEPAC, had a critical role to play in the year’s midterm elections. Nearly every candidate the PAC supported, 98 percent in fact, prevailed in November. This success and our ability to support so many candidates was made pos- sible by dozens of donors and a very successful clay shooting competition in August. With the state legislature conven- ing comes a prime opportunity to take our affordability issues head on. We’ll

numerous to list is this already-lengthy column. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t name a few. First there’s Matt Walls and his wife Susan with Winston Custom Homes. They stepped up for a second time to build a mortgage free home in partnership with our charity of choice Operation Finally Home. Every proj - ect is special in its own way, this one was especially touching. U.S. Navy Corpsman Luisa Velez and her son Spencer opened their new doors after a long journey following her service as a medic. The connection those two share is magical and it warms my heart when I think about everyone who helped Matt and Susan enable them to spend the holidays in their new home on a lot provided by the City of Irving. We hope to get them a couple of neighbors here soon as the city has generously donated the adjoining lots to OPFH as well. In November, we had quite a bit to celebrate at TAB’s Fall Board of Directors meeting. First, our very own Donnie Evans with Altura Homes was installed as President of TAB. Donnie was one of the best presidents I’ve had the opportunity to work with at the local level. I have no doubt that he’ll leverage that experience along with more than 40 years in the industry to successfully lead TAB through a criti- cal legislative year. We also honored living legend, Jerry Carter, as he was inducted into the Texas Housing Hall of Honor. I have written several applications for the Hall of Honor over the years. Not
all were successful, as it is very hard to receive this prestigious distinction. That said, Jerry’s application essen - tially wrote itself. You’d be hard pressed to find a more passionate advocate for the hous- ing industry or a better volunteer role model at the local, state and national levels. Like hundreds of others, I have learned so much from Jerry over the years. He’s eager to share his wisdom yet retains an immense amount of humor and humility. We also recognized one the best at the local level. Past President Alan Hoffmann with Hoffmann Homes was honored in October with the Hugh Prather Trophy. Alan is a housing advocate in ev-

He’s never been afraid to back down from a fight. His tireless work on behalf of his homebuyers has brought positive change to local elections and Texas land use law.

Matt Mitchell is 2022 Designee of the Year continued from page 1 (CSP), Certified Aging-In-Place (CAPS), Graduate Master Builder (GMB) and Master Certified Green Professional (MCGP) designations. He is also a Certified Star Builder, a prestigious designation through the Dallas BA. Matt has been an active member of the Association since 2011. He is a Past President and has served in may capacities including as chairman for the ARC Awards, president of the Dallas Division and chairman of both the Education and Government Relations Committees. Outside of the Association, Matt is a Master SIP builder, a New Home Sales Specialist (NHSS) and a Green REALTOR®. He holds a degree in public administration with an emphasis in psychol- ogy from the University of Texas, an associate of arts and science degree in construction management from North Lake College and also a master’s degree in Biblical studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. Meet Matt and learn why he chose to become a Certified Graduate Builder: How did you get started in this business? A friend of mine got me into the business. He consulted me through a custom house build for my wife and me, and I loved every step of the journey, from designing my first house to working with subs. It hooked me. What do you like most about the industry? I have always been fascinated by the construction industry. There is such a tangible and permanent aspect to it that seems to appeal to me. I particularly enjoy how building science has progressively become more relevant to the industry since 2002 when I got into the industry. What advice would you give to someone new starting out? There is an enormous amount to learn and one can not know it all so find great subs and lean on their wisdom. AT THE SAME TIME: the responsibility eventually falls to the builder to get things correct so you have to always be learning about your craft. that way one will to be able to speak with clarity about the tasks at hand. What is something unique about yourself that people don't know? I used to play guitar in a rock and roll band.
