B uilding facades that evoke a designer’s intent, an

owner’s dream, and the great skill of the crafts

people who erected it has kept California Sheet Metal in

business for over 100 years. Attention to detail, safety,

quality, professionalism, and their unique ability to “build things that architects dream up” set California Sheet

Metal (CSM) apart from their competition.

Turn a corner in San Diego County and you will see their

work.

Dear Friends and Members,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came out to support

our last ASPE Site Tour Dinner Meeting for Future Surgery Center and Hybrid

Operating Suite with UCSD Architect and Project Manager Mark Rowland. The entire

evening was truly enjoyable. ASPE appreciated the time, effort, and skills of the

guest speaker. The audience turnout was great and excited.

In today’s construction market, The Cost of Customer Satisfaction is a concept that aims to enhance

supply chain integration by supporting and assisting joint practices. For decades, businesses in many

industries have sought to reduce personnel costs by automating their processes to the greatest extent

possible. In customer service, that has led many companies to implement systems online and by phone

that answer as many questions or resolve as many problems as they can without a human presence. But

in the end, there are customer service issues for which human interaction is indispensable, creating a

competitive advantage. Amazon is an example of a company that is doing all it can to automate a vast and

complex operation. It has to, given that it delivered five billion packages to customers' doors in 2018, and

that's just the purchases made by Prime members. Nevertheless, Amazon still offers 24-hour customer

service by phone, in addition to email and live chat services.

Most successful businesses recognize the importance of providing outstanding customer service.

Courteous and empathetic interaction with a trained customer service representative can mean the

difference between losing or retaining a customer.

My Chapter Board of Directors and I look forward to welcoming you all at ASPE, an organization

where you will not only polish your professional skills but also become a better Estimator.

1,200 individually cut perforated panels using a multi-level cantilever scaffolding system. For the 2,200 concrete

embeds used, each was strategically placed to firmly secure over two tons of designed aluminum throughout the

eight floors of the library. In true California Sheet Metal fashion, both the aesthetic and environmental appeal was key

in erecting this artistic and sustainable structure. CSM was awarded the California SMACNA 2014 Tom Guilfory

Memorial Craftsmanship of the Year Award for the San Diego Central Library.

Petco Headquarters

The Petco Corporate Headquarters in Rancho Bernardo

shows how CSM has used digital imagery and 3-D

modeling to create the 3D images of Petco's dog and

cat logo using pixelated dog paws with sizes ranging

from ½” to a 4” circle all punched out across 21 panels.

The computer-assisted machine that perforated metal is

in high demand at the CSM shop. It was also used in

hundreds of other projects and designs.

CSM fabricated and installed the ¼” stainless steel decorative screen featured prominently on the university’s science

building, Sator Hall. The screen perforations are composed of the Greek Alpha and Omega symbols placed to

represent the constellations of the night sky. The computer-assisted machine that perforated metal was also used in

this project and design.

Control) Laser

The high capacity CNC laser has auto-loading and auto-offloading capability. The CNC router with 40 ft x 8 ft cutting surface. The German-made automated panel bender significantly reduces panel fabrication times. There are numerous computerized brake-forming machines.

At the ASPE San Diego site tour, members and guests will tour California Sheet Metal’s shop. Attendees will learn more about the CNC sheet metal manufacturing machinery from the California Sheet Metal representa-tives along with an in-house presentation from Dan Kilcoyne, CPE, facade estimator.

Dan Kilcoyne is the Director of Estimating for California Sheet Metal. His 20+ years in the field as Field Foreman and member of Local 206 continues to inform his rich understanding of materials, crew, labor and ensuring the quality of all CSM’s estimates.

November 2019

C onstruction in Southern California, particularly the San Diego area, will face

unparalleled challenges in the next few years while managing available

resources to complete projects on time and within budget. My current assignment at

the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority for the Airport Design &

Construction Department included a recent study to access the impact of these major

projects on the upcoming Airport Development Program and the replacement of

Terminal 1. This $3 Billion dollar undertaking involves landside components (terminal

complex, roadways, parking garage, ancillary structures, etc.), airside improvements

(taxiways and apron pavement for terminal gates and aircraft overnight parking),

transit upgrades to eventually incorporate the extension of trolley service to the

airport, and a 125,000 square foot office building to serve as the headquarters for the Airport Authority.

In addition to the ADP work, that study outlined these significant projects underway or in the planning

stage:

1. Manchester Gateway Center

2. Seaport Village Redevelopment

3. San Diego Convention Center expansion

4. Chula Vista Bayfront Development

5. San Diego State Sports Complex and Education/Housing Facilities in Mission Valley at the

former Jack Murphy Stadium site

6. University of California at San Diego “Transformational Building Program”

7. Trolley extension to University Towne Center and UCSD campus

8. Bond programs at K-12 schools and community colleges

9. Potential construction at military bases (dependent on Federal funding)

10. Projects at SeaWorld, Legoland, and the San Diego Zoo

We are currently experiencing labor shortages, difficulty in obtaining materials and procuring equipment,

and finding qualified project management staff to supervise and direct team members in accomplishing the

work. Expectations that this situation will improve are not likely for the future given the volume of projects in

the pipeline.

I was invited to attend a National Association of Women in Construction, San Diego Chapter meeting on

September 10, 2019, to hear a presentation by Eric Smith PE DBIA, Associate Chancellor, Capital

Management Program at UCSD, on their “Transformational Building Program.” The various projects cited

during his talk will extend through the end of 2025. One of the PowerPoint slides highlighted five key points

concerning the Reality of the Market:

$15+ Billion to be bought in San Diego during 2020-2021.

Demand will stretch already limited capacity.

A/E/C (Architectural, Engineering, Construction) community will have many choices.

Prices will be driven by labor shortage.

Owners will be competing for limited resources.

UCSD anticipates having over 2,000 tradespeople employed on their projects by the end of 2021. The

Facilities Design and Construction group looks to drawing from a select pool of Architects/Engineers and

C laudia Thompson is the founder and president of D 3 Construction

Services; a certified small, woman-owned general requirements

contractor providing temporary fencing, job site trailer installation, and

temporary labor across the San Diego market.

Claudia began her journey in the construction industry in 2002 as an Intern

for Lendlease on the construction of a midrise condo project in the heart of

downtown San Francisco. After graduating from Chico State with 3

successful internships and a permanent position with the company as a

Project Coordinator under her belt, Claudia was proud to officially begin her

career as an estimator for Centex Homes. She continued her career in the

housing industry working as a Procurement Agent and Project Manager.

Now as a business owner, Claudia is able to use all the skills she learned

through the years in the field and in the office to run her own company, D 3

Construction Services.

The ASPE has already been a wonderful support system and she looks

forward to continuing to learn from the exceptional industry professionals within the organization. ■

Claudia Thompson

Construction Managers/General Contractors in order to achieve the desired results from this sizeable

endeavor. Their office will be primarily utilizing integrated CM/GC and progressive Design/Build delivery

methods. Responding to the above market realities will entail hiring and retaining the best talent available

in the area while embracing diversity in the workplace and among the contracting community. UCSD’s

strategy strives to become the most attractive owner in the marketplace by enticing contractors,

subcontractors and suppliers to think strongly about the advantages of participating in their program.

Their leadership clearly understands the benefits of supporting industry organizations as part of that

process.

Overall this philosophy incorporates high-trust relationships between its partners, a focus on team

success, open, authentic and transparent communication, and remaining a good steward to both

educational and business interests. These points of view will necessitate an emphasis on integrity,

fairness, allowing everyone to voice their opinions, insisting on accountability, commitment to service, and

taking pride in their work to provide the best product for the campus. UCSD’s culture needs to become

contagious in order to impact these and future projects. Other owners in the San Diego marketplace need

to pay attention to these goals and objectives laid out by UCSD. Their representatives should

acknowledge the challenges ahead, and address the fact that a competition will exist to find the best firms

who have access to available resources to build their facilities.
