Alan Hoffmann is 2022 recipient of Hugh Prather Award, Dallas BA’s highest honor The Dallas Builders Association
Dallas BA’s Industry Investors for 2022
Hoffmann has worked with Dallas BA staff on a litany of issues in the City of Dallas, starting with writing the city’s Green Building Ordinance,” said Executive Officer Phil Crone. “On this and several other code-related items, Alan’s ability to ‘talk the talk and walk the walk’ has been invaluable.” A go-to source for media inter - views, Hoffmann has represented the Dallas BA countless times on camera, most recently in the midst of the City of Dallas permitting crisis. “He has never been afraid to stand his ground, and went head-to-head with a city government that threatened to ar - rest him for refusing to pay an excessive and illegal permit fee,” Murphy noted during the presentation. “This case produced excellent precedent for the in- dustry from the Texas Supreme Court.” Hoffmann also positively influ - enced elections in the City of McKin - ney by putting together a social media exposé on the illegal exaction that city leaders were demanding from his clients. Considered a pioneer of sustain - able building, Hoffmann has brought many “firsts” to the North Texas mar - ketplace. He was the first builder to use Insulated Concrete Panels here and the first builder to use these for exterior walls for single-family structures. He is credited with building the first ICF homes in a number of cities in North Texas, and his company designed and built the first homes to be certified by the U.S. Green Building “LEED for Homes” program. levels. Lake Coulson, NAHB’s vice president of government affairs, and Scott Norman, Texas Association of Builders executive vice president, will be on hand to let attendees know what to look for and what issues they may have to contend with in the months ahead with a new Congress and the start of the state legislative session in January. The event, held at Vouv Dallas, begins with breakfast at 8:30 a.m. fol - lowed by the program at 9 a.m. In addition to Title Partner Hotch - kiss Insurance Agency, program partner is West Fraser.

has awarded the 2022 Hugh Prather Trophy to Alan Hoffmann, CGB, CGP, of Hoffmann Homes. The award is the highest honor bestowed by the Dallas BA and has been presented annually for the past 72 years to a builder, remodeler or developer member who has done the most for the betterment of the commu - nity and the industry as a whole. The 2022 presentation was made during the Association’s Oct. 1 Instal - lation of Leadership held at Las Colinas Country Club and presented by Struc - Sure Home Warranty. The award was named for the As - sociation’s first president, Hugh Prather, in hopes that his principles would serve as a guide for future generations of builders. It is not meant to be simply a “Builder of the Year,” but something more that reflects credit to the building industry. Past recipients include homebuild - ing icons such as Dave Fox, W.W. Ca - ruth Jr., Bob Folsom, Fred Roach, Kent Conine, Tommy Ford, N.D. Hopkins and Harold Pollman, among others. 2021 Prather recipient Frank Mur - phy of Wynne/Jackson presented the award. Alan Hoffmann served as Dallas BA president in 2018. He serves on NAHB’s Leader - ship Council and its Building Systems Council. He is past chairman of TAB’s Legal Affairs Committee and is working with the City of Dallas on their pending zoning overhaul. “For well over a decade, Alan The State of the Industry Sum - mit, presented by Hotchkiss Insurance Agency Nov. 10, features an incredible speaker lineup and will address key is - sues impacting the market in the imme - diate aftermath of the midterm elections.

Milestone Anniversaries
Fall’s Regulatory Round Up The continued growth in the re-
David Lehde Director of Government Affairs
was going to be a much more costly fee increase for builders was reduced after Dallas BA weighed in. Now, the city, which is expected to experience significant growth, is plan - ning to discuss, review and possibly amend their impact fees. Denton’s im - pact fees, as initially implemented, have been reasonable thanks to the efforts of this Association in 2015 and 2016. But material and land costs are likely to have an even bigger impact as the fees undergo their required review. The matter is scheduled to be pre - sented to the Oct. 12 work session of the Planning and Zoning Commission, followed by a Developer Town Hall Meeting on Oct. 13, and a presentation to the City Council Work Session on Oct. 18. Dallas BA will be making the industry’s voice heard. You may have heard that Dallas BA has been engaged in addressing some permitting concerns in the City of Dallas. If you have not, we are glad to welcome you to your first read of Home Front. On Sept. 6, Dallas’ Development Services Department Director and Chief Building Official, Andrew Espinoza, along with Deputy Building Official James Metzgar and Assistant Director of Land Development Sam Eskander, visited with Dallas area builders here at the Dallas BA to give an update on Development Services (DEV) realign - ment process and overall effort to ad - dress permitting delays and department efficiency. The department’s new leadership has shown a desire to make things better for builders and has continued to seek input from Dallas BA members. DEV staff provided an update on their recent transition taking ProjectDox to a cloud-based delivery system in August and the recent training classes offered to builders who use the system. Along with an update on the department sees its improvement on permit time - lines, DEV staff also gave further detail regarding its rollout of their expedited plan review process (RSVP) and work to bring on preliminary approvals for submittals from single family develop - ment homes with identical plans. In addition to its continual advo - cacy at the local level, Dallas BA is preparing itself for the upcoming legis - lative session in Austin that will gavel in during the month of January. It is not uncommon for government relations staff to find themselves in Austin multiple times during the session to be part of the home building sector’s statewide advocacy effort.
gion, and the process of area munici - palities updating their construction and planning codes, means the Dallas Build - ers Association remains on the watch for regulatory and fee changes that can impact the ability to provide homes that area home buyers can afford. In Celina, the City Council on Sept. 13 voted to approve the adoption of the 2021 I-codes, including the regionally recommended amendments provided by the North Central Texas Council of Government’s Regional Codes Coordi - nating Committee (RCCC), of which Dallas BA is a voting member. This is important for two reasons. One, the RCCC recommendations are a product of deliberation of area stakeholders, including area building officials, that helps provide some relief from increases in construction costs. And two, because it shows Celina is recognizing that the benefits home con - struction brings to their area’s economy. There was, however, a provision in early drafts of the ordinance that raised the concerns of Dallas BA. Tucked inside the section of amendments related to single-family residential construction was an amend - ment related to “Builder Product Op - tions.” The language stated that “Upon request by a prospective resident, build - ers shall make best efforts to accommo - date and make available the following products — residential fire suppression sprinkler system, electric car charging station, and solar panels.” This language could have opened the door to a number of problems for builders who provide most of the homes in Celina. One would have been the availability of trades to install such after- market products should it later become a mandate. Even with custom builders, there has always been a need to ensure that the home buyer has a thorough un - derstanding of the cost increase related to the installation and any follow-on maintenance. Dallas BA voiced our concerns to both city staff and council, and the pro - vision was stripped from the ordinance before the council’s vote. As part of their effort to help builders be ready for the code updates, the City of Celina is hosting a builder meeting on Oct. 5 to give information re - garding significant changes that impact those building under the IRC. Earlier this year we reported on the City of Denton’s amending of their park fee-in-lieu and park development fees. It was the first update the ordinance had undergone since its inception. What
Nov. 8 will be the general election date for what has been a very busy and well-advertised election year. Along with local county candidates of interest, Dallas BA will monitor races for both the State Senate and State House of Representatives, as well as key leader - ship positions including the Governor. There will also be races for all of the U.S. House of Representative seats in our service area. Dallas BA members and staff have already met with many of our U.S. House Representatives and will continue to reach out to those who the Association supports in our area’s state legislative races. Early voting begins on Oct. 24. It is important that those who are elected to make decisions that impact housing understand that it is important to follow the advice of those who pro- vide housing. An important advocacy tool is HOMEPAC of Greater Dallas, the non-partisan action committee of the Association. With the upcoming general election, and the busy municipal elec - tion season we will see in the Spring, HOMEPAC will be very active. October begins the 2022/23 cycle for HOMEPAC of Greater Dallas. As - sociation members who are interested in participating or have questions about our advocacy efforts should contact the Director of Government Affairs. Infor - mation can also be found on Dallas BA’s advocacy page at https://dallasbuilders. org/advocacy/.

Teresa Williams established KJ Custom Screens & Outdoor Living in 2007 with a marketing background and limited construction knowledge. Being the fearless person she is, she dove headfirst into learning all she could about construction with a focus on motorized screens. Since then, Teresa’s passion for learning has not wavered, and she obtained the nation - ally recognized Certified Graduate Associate designation this year. Teresa believes this designation will benefit her business and help to show clients and builders her com - mitment to the industry. She plans to market her CGA on her business cards, social media and the company website. What is it about the residential construction industry that she likes best? “I love the creativity and the design aspect that goes along with it,” Teresa explains. “Due to the constant innovations and trends in the home market, we are constantly changing the way we design and complete projects. Improving amazing outdoor living spaces for families and home - owners to use provides me with a great sense of achievement. I love working with homeowners and custom builders and establishing great relationships along the way.” Teresa advises women starting out in the construction industry to know that it can be quite intimidating at first. “By learning as much as you can about your product or services, it will instill confidence,” she says. “With time, you will make great con - nections and you can really be suc- cessful if you stick with it.” KJ Custom Screens & Outdoor Living has just recently become a certified Woman-Owned Business through the Women’s Business En - terprise National Council. This certi - fication is not an easy feat; there are very strict guidelines and a mountain of paperwork to submit, including financials, affidavits, business his - tory, resumes, service agreements and much more. In February they were featured on Designing Spaces Luxury Edition , the Lifetime TV show. Luxe Magazine and the Houston Voyager have both in- cluded KJ Custom Screens & Outdoor

THE HOME BUILDER Page Eight Dallas BA’s first-ever Associates Trivia Night was a huge success!
October 2022
The number of women working in the con - struction industry across the country edged only slightly higher last year, rising to 11% of the overall construction workforce from 10.9% in 2020, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most women in the industry remain involved in office and administrative positions, with less than 4% involved in the skilled trades, where workers are sorely needed. There are encouraging signs for the future, especially in Collin College’s Construction Man - agement program. Women comprise 22% of this year’s freshman class, double the national rate. These women will soon be supervising job sites around the Metroplex for some of the largest residential and commercial construction operators.
