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. It’s an evolutionary leap forward, and that never goes out of style.

permanent ly into my memory banks. In the equestrian world of getting the horse ready to accept a rider, both methods can accom-plish 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 con-struction. 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 repu-tation was a place I frequented. Stories always lingered about this ranch of cruelty to horses. One morning, a truck load of wi ld horses were brought in. I vividly remember this one amazing ani-mal. He was unloaded from the cat t le-car type trai ler and was magnificent in form, power and spirit. He was also very frightened

of the situation he was in and the 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 horse’s 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 hal-ter, which is a leather head harness with steel couplings, and started to violently beat the horse with the hal-ter around his head. Understand-ably, 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

horse was thrashing his head about wildly and a bloody tooth landed at my feet. The horse had finally succumbed (whether it was submis-sion or exhaustion, I was not cer-tain). 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 spir-it and last remaining strength, and began to buck wildly in an attempt to throw the cowboy off. He again soon realized submission was inevi-table. It reminds of the pirate phrase “the beatings will continue until morale improves.”

MATTER OF TRUSTTraining, unlike the breaking pro-cess, 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 “bro-ken” was very appropriate. Horses that have been broken-in could not be trusted, which limits their full value. This is where I see similari-ties 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 crews—they 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 same—the 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 typi-cally outlast companies that break in apprentices. W&C

SCWCPA HOLDS SUCCESSFUL SHOW IN NEW ORLEANSFor the fi rst time in many years, the South Central Wall, Ceiling & Plaster-ing Association held its annual trade show and convention out of Texas. This move is prompted by the 2010 decision to change its name from Tex-as Lathing & Plastering Contractors

Association to SCWCPA. This name change refl ects the association’s deci-sion to now include the neighboring states of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkan-sas and New Mexico.

This year’s event, held at the Sher-aton Hotel, New Orleans, was locat-ed near the infamous French Quarter from June 12-15.

“This is our fi 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 association’s 2012-2013 President Brent Cannedy.

The event kicked off with the Presi-dent’s Welcome Reception on June 12, followed by an outing at the neigh-boring Harrah’s Casino. The next day, free time was had for attendees while the association held its board of direc-tor 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 Dallas’s Specifi ed Products’ Cannedy.

Another issue discussed at the show was heard in the seminar “Health Care Reform,” which will be impact-ing employers very soon. This topic and what the government will be man-dating is concerning a lot of employ-ers. The seminar’s speaker Andy Adams outlined what the changes will entail. Other seminars included instal-

lation systems for thin veneer, high performance EIFS and energy effi cient steel stud wall assemblies.

On June 14, the trade show com-menced and the association all met for a fi nal dinner, where this year’s Design Awards Competition took place.

For the category of Commercial EIFS, the award went to Southwest Lath & Plaster for the Harmony School of Business. For Residen-tial EIFS/Stucco, Silver Star Plaster-ing Inc. was named winner for the Kara Adams Designs project. For the Commercial Interior Plaster & Drywall award, KHS&S Contractors walked away with top prize for Win-Star North Expansion project. DMG Plaster & Stucco won the Commer-

cial Exterior Stucco award for its work on TCU Amon Carter Stadi-um. And this year’s Pinnacle Award went to Baker Drywall, Dallas for its work on the Perot Museum of Nature and Science.

Last but not least, this year’s Life-time Achievement Award went to Billy Hubbard of Trinity Drywall and Plaster. Hubbard was there to accept the award, presented by the asso-ciation’s Executive Director Eddie McCormack and board members.

“To be successful in this business, you have to have good relations with manufacturers, suppliers, customers and staff,” said Hubbard. “I have been lucky to have the full support of all of them and thank them all.”

The American Concrete Institute has named Anne M. Ellis as president of the institute for 2013-2014. Sharon L. Wood has been elected ACI vice president, and William E. Rush-ing, Jr. is now the institute’s senior vice president.

AISI UPDATES THREE COLD-FORMED STEEL FRAMING DESIGN STANDARDSThe American Iron and Steel Insti-tute has published the 2012 edi-tions for three of its cold-formed steel framing standards – AISI S200-12: North American Stan-dard for Cold-Formed Steel Fram-ing – General Provisions, AISI S201-12: North American Stan-dard for Cold-Formed Steel Fram-ing – Product Data, and AISI S214-12: North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing – Truss

Design. The publications are avail-able for purchase at the AISI Steel Store at www.steel.org. Each of the publications contains a description that highlights the changes made since its previous printing in 2007.

“These new editions refl ect tech-nological advancements made since the 2007 editions were printed,” said Jay Larson, P.E., F.ASCE, Manag-ing Director, Construction Techni-cal Program. “The advancements are the result of our industry’s ongoing support for research and develop-ment. These cold-formed steel fram-ing standards are part of a compre-hensive update and reaffirmation effort that we are executing for our

complete suite of standards this year. They are intended for use in the Unit-ed States, Canada and Mexico.”

OWENS CORNING FINALIZES THERMAFIBER ACQUISITIONOwens Corning announced that it has completed the acquisition of insu-lation manufacturer Thermafiber Inc. The acquisition, which includes a

145,000-square-foot manufacturing location in Wabash, Ind., provides Owens Corning with a broad insulation

portfolio now encompassing fi berglass, foam, and mineral wool insulation products. “The acquisition of Thermafi -ber is an outstanding addition for Owens Corning and our customers,” said Joe Ochoa, vice president and gen-eral manager, Engineered Insulation Systems. “Mineral wool insulation adds to our product portfolio and helps us to provide access to high-temperature commercial building applications.”


salespeople who have made excep-tional contributions to the company’s growth and advancement.

Winners were selected based on the following criteria: proven suc-cess in the promotion and sales of new products, achieved and exceeded operational targets, successfully man-aged and grew customer relation-ships, and above all, demonstrated a personal commitment to excellence.

The corporate-wide honor rec-ognized salespeople across all USG operating companies, including USG Mexico, L&W Supply Corpora-

tion and CGC Inc. Each company president wel-comed the new members, respectively; Chris Griffi n, executive vice president of operations, USG Corpora-tion and president, United States Gypsum Company; Brenden Deely, senior vice president, USG Corpora-tion and president and CEO of L&W Supply Corporation; and Jennifer

Scanlon, vice president, USG Corpo-ration and president, International.

EIMA ADDRESSES CONGRESSIONAL ENERGY EXPO The EIFS Industry Members Associa-tion participated in the 16th Annu-al Congressional Renewable Ener-gy 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 ener-gy in the United States.

In addition to participating in the EXPO, EIMA’s CEO/Executive Director David Johnston was a par-ticipant in a forum discussion on energy effi ciency.

“In this day and age where ener-gy effi ciency 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 effi cient requirements,” Johnston said.

He also addressed the advance-ments EIFS have made over the past several years, while pointing to inclu-sion in the 2009 and 2012 Interna-tional Building Codes, as well as results from the Oak Ridge Nation-al Laboratory moisture and ther-mal control study, both validating the performance of the exterior wall cladding system.

All purpose/climate SIPsINSULFOAMPremier structural insulated panels can be used in all types of climates—including wet, rainy, humid and/or cold regions—to 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 systemNUDURA CORP.The company’s forms provide eco-friendly, energy eff icient 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 signifi cantly to LEED and Net-Zero specifi ed projects.

Environmentally friendly ICFsBUILDBLOCK BUILDING SYSTEMSThe company produces BuildBlock, BuildDeck, BuildLock and GlobalBlock ICF wall and fl 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 cabi-netry. 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.

ICFs/SIPs

Flexible design ICF wall systemQUAD-LOCK The company’s ICFs provide the highest insulation values and exceptional design fl 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 fl oors. All products are manufactured under the ISO:9001 standard and the environmental standard for manufacturers, ISO:14001.

Foundation insulation systemCERTAINTEED INSULATIONT-Roc is a composite panel comprising GlasRoc paperless gypsum boards permanent ly laminated to h igh 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 fi nished walls as part of a livable basement space.

STUCCO stop

BY ALBERT CARRILLO

bridging is related to the natural thermal conductivity of steel used in light gauge framing and direct-ly 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 stuc-co over foam boards. This month we’ll look at some three coat stucco assemblies over CI.

If you read my last column (“EIFS: A Solution for New Energy Efficien-cy Requirements,” W&C May 2013)

you’ll 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 insula-tion “system,” as an exterior clad-ding. 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 weren’t 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 Con-ference of the Wall and Ceiling Insti-tutes created a brochure to illustrate EIFS, one-coat stucco and three-coat stucco assemblies. The three-coat assemblies are those that are com-mon, time proven and compliant to the new energy codes. The Western Conference is made up of industry technical experts from the Techni-

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

cal Services Information Bureau, the Northwest Wall and Ceiling Bureau, and the Wall and Ceiling Alliance who, based on their combined expe-riences, collaborated to illustrate these assemblies.

The three-coat stucco assemblies illustrated represent the most com-monly used and are only representa-tive 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 calcula-tion tables that provide guidelines for selection of foam board thickness and cavity insulation R-values used to achieve the desires thermal resis-tance for a given wall assembly.

PWA 104This is the assembly I applied back in the day (Figure 1). It is the most straightforward assembly and is basi-cally a conventional three-coat stuc-co and finish, over sheathing with an insulation layer of foam placed between the water-resistive barrier and the three-coat stucco assem-bly. 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 won’t 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 com-pletely 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 recom-mended that a lamina layer (poly-mer enhanced cement and mesh) be applied over the brown coat to min-imize cracking. Cement or acrylic finish coats may be applied to this assembly. Ensure that the finish material is compatible with the lam-ina layer products.

PWA 105This is not an EIF system. In this assembly the scratch and brown are applied like any other three-coat

assembly, per ASTM C-926—and should be hydrated properly (Fig-ure 2). There are exceptions though; you don’t need to float or finish the brown coat and it is not recommend-ed 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 rec-ommend that you use the compo-nents manufactured by an estab-lished 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 106This 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 moder-ate 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 recom-mended 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-fasten-ers method to assemble a CI stucco cladding. Brand X Metals is a new company that makes specially con-figured trims and utilizes both screw fasteners and the time proven meth-od of wire-tying. Both are innova-tive and readily available.

EASE THE MINDOK, let’s address the 500-pound gorilla here: Won’t the weight of the three-coat stucco shear off the fas-teners since the cladding is cantile-vered off the framing members? Our logical minds paint a mental picture of a catastrophic occurrence; stucco falling off the building and crash-ing to the ground, right? Rest your mind, testing has already been done.

The Foam Sheathing Coalition published a technical document

titled “Guide to Attaching Exte-rior Wall Coverings Through Foam Sheathing to Wood or Steel Fram-ing.”¹ The Tech Matters document gives a “step-by-step approach for the design process when assem-bling claddings over foam board insulation.” There are charts that guide one to component selection, fastener spacing and foam thick-ness 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 didn’t 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 fad—it isn’t going to lose popularity and in fact, is the way we will be build-ing into the future. The time and expense of building new power gen-erating facilities is almost prohibi-tive. Our easiest path to stemming the demand is to reduce the demand through energy efficient design. Our codes are adopting more strin-gent thermal performance require-ments and are increasingly becom-ing 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, insulat-ing claddings, utilizing simple and familiar detailing. W&C

“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.”

in the U. S. and Canada contain “Type X” gypsum board or an improved variation with a propri-etary trade name. A handful of sys-tems that use regular core gypsum board to create a rated system still exist; however, they are generally antiquated and supporting docu-mentation can be difficult to obtain.

Similar to regular core board, Type X gypsum board is manufac-tured in accordance with ASTM Standard C 1396, Standard Specifi-cation for Gypsum Board. Specific language in the C 1396 standard establishes the criteria for determin-ing Type X compliance for individu-al 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 Stan-dard E 119, Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials or a recognized equiva-lent. 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, includ-ing 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 integ-rity, or both, during the test condi-tions imposed by the standard.” The test method exposes the system to heat and flame and, based on its per-formance when evaluated against a series of pass/fail criteria, establishes an endurance time for the system. The endurance time achieved is con-verted 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 evalu-ated 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 labora-tory furnace for at least 59 minutes and 30 seconds for that specific sys-tem and with those specific com-ponents of the system. Note that ratings are rounded up or down to the nearest minute.

HOURLY FIRE RATINGSA 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 situa-tion. 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 per-mit similar or disparate systems to be objectively evaluated from two points of view.

The first perspective is the abil-ity to benchmark systems com-posed 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.

The second perspect ive pro-vides the ability to benchmark sys-tems 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 construc-tion 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 system’s 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, it’s 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, regard-less of what it is constructed from,

GYPSUM

What DoFire Resistance Ratings Mean?A significant percentage of the gypsum board used in

non-residential construction is incorporated into fire-

resistance-rated assemblies. The majority of the rated

walls or partitions constructed with gypsum board


will provide better protection from a fire-resistance per-spective than the original one-hour wall.

Committees that control the content of the various test standards occasionally discuss the concept of eliminat-ing 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 build-ing codes contain “partial hour” rating requirements for some conditions. In a practical sense, it’s 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 tim-ing 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 ref-erence 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 cre-ate 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, con-structed in a specific test furnace at a finite point in time. In this manner, it is best viewed as producing a “snap-shot” 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 differ-ences 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

GREENBY CHRIS DIXON

is one of the biggest consumers of industrial hemp, but due to anti-quated laws associating industrial hemp with its psychoactive-drug-cousin marijuana, industrial hemp has been illegal to grow in the U.S. since 1957. That may be changing soon. The state of Kentucky recent-ly passed legislation, joining eight other states (Colorado, Maine, Mon-tana, North Dakota, Oregon, Ver-mont, Washington and West Vir-ginia) that has defined industrial hemp as distinct from marijuana and removed barriers to its production.

State legislation is an important fi rst step toward domestic produc-tion of industrial hemp, and work is under way to pass federal leg-islation to remove hemp from the Drug Enforcement Administration’s list of illicit drugs. Once this hap-pens, 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 Ameri-can 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 pow-der, 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 psychoac-tive 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”:

“Both in Canada and the U.S., the most critical problem to be addressed for commercial exploita-tion of C. sativa [hemp] is the pos-sible unauthorized drug use of the plant. Indeed, the reason hemp cul-tivation 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. THC is the world’s most popu-lar 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 TIMEHemp has been used for construction materials such as composite fiber-board, thermal insulation, founda-tion 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 Lime-Hemp Concrete. According to some sources LHC is a very old building material, discovered by archaeolo-gists 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 con-tent. It is this property that, when mixed with lime, reacts to produce a strong, lightweight, stone-like mate-rial. Hemp shiv is also a good insu-lator, good for an R-value of up to 2.5 per inch. The lime in LHC sur-rounds 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.

The fi rst home in the U.S. made with Lime-Hemp Concrete, the Nauhaus by Alembic Stu-dio. Hencrete has been rendered with the fi rst coat of lime plaster; a second coat of integral colored lime plaster will follow.


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 fi 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 con-struction 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 pro-duce a woody slurry that is placed by hand within a wood-reinforced-framed 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 fi 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 home’s overall construc-tion cost. For Callahan and his cli-ents, the added cost is well worth the health benefi ts realized in using the material which include better IAQ, no allergens and no mold.

In addition to Hemcrete, American Lime Technology also offers hemp fi ber insulation, prefabricated hemp wall panels, lime mortar, and lime stucco. Its hemp fi ber insulation has an R-value similar to fi berglass insu-lation and is installed in the same way, between framing members. As well as being a rapidly renew-able 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 company’s website. ALT will soon be launching prefabricated wall panels made of Hemcrete, hemp fi ber insu-lation, wood framing, and various sheathing products. The panels are designed to be hung from wood or steel supports, as cladding or inte-rior 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.

CONCLUSIONHemp production in the United States peaked in 1943 at more than 150 million pounds on 146,000 acres in direct response to the federal gov-ernment’s 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 mar-ket 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 prof-itable, niche markets for a wide array of industrial and consumer products, commercial hemp industry in the Unit-ed States could provide opportunities as an economically viable alternative crop for some U.S. growers.” W&C

activities were reviewed and cer-tain differentiators were called out, enabling a subcontractor to dem-onstrate value to a general contrac-tor. The subcontractor that is able to be both detailed and flexible in the information he provides to a GC shows his worth. Package informa-tion that can be summarized in vari-ous ways—area, phase, floor and then digitally (electronically) com-municated in a timely and efficient manner further elevates the subcon-tractor’s value to the GC. These pre-award measures are essential first steps in solidifying a subcontractor’s importance to a GC’s success.

Subcontractors must continue to establish their value to a GC post-bid. This is where the largest bottom line value-add arises. Once a proj-

ect 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 sched-ule and within budget. A subcon-tractor 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 influ-ence a successful outcome.

CREW ALLOCATION FOR SCHEDULING GCs look for quality across the proj-ect—from 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

work ranks among the most sought after traits of a subcontractor. A close second is staying on schedule. When the project is under construc-tion, a valued subcontractor helps the GC build on schedule, at least the part the subcontractor is provid-ing, and become an “A” team player.

S.M.A.R.T. objectives have long been a part of corporate office cul-ture but it is time to take this to the construction site. “Specific, Measur-able, 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 sched-uled 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 subcon-tractor know exactly where and when materials are needed so that the crew isn’t idle. Placing materials and crew in the same place sounds simple—but even 15 minutes of lost work time chips away at profitabil-ity. Staying on top of hours worked and materials used keeps the subcon-tractor’s site manager informed of possible overruns. Using automated job cost reporting, the subcontractor monitors a job to date status.

JOB SITE COORDINATIONEach job site is unique and has its own set of challenges but the work activities performed remain simi-lar across jobs. General contractors need subcontractors who are proac-tive 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 construc-tion 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 field—no need

to be in the office or trailer or stand-ing 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 isn’t profitable.

The real question that subcontrac-tors need to ask themselves is “Do I know where I am going?” It is one thing to know where the project bud-get stands after payroll is posted. After all hindsight is 20/20. Lever-aging project management automa-tion, the subcontractor sees where the crew has worked but most important-ly it will control where the crew will work next. Reactive project manage-ment 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 sub-contractor controls where the project is going, he is being proactive which allows problem resolution upfront.

CONCLUSIONInvolvement by a subcontractor in all phases of a project (pre-bid, bid, build, and closeout) ensures a GC’s 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 com-bination will want to leverage each other for future projects. Trusted relationships and partnerships have a foundation built one successful proj-ect after another. Focusing on scope of work, critical communication, itemizing scope, crew allocation, and job site coordination elevates the sub-contractor in the eyes of the GC.

It is challenging to describe the relationship between general contrac-tors and subcontractors. The GC that respects and collaborates with the subcontractor understands that the financial wellbeing of the subcon-tractor 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 pay-ments. Given the smaller and smaller or perhaps nonexistent backlog of work (and carryover profits) that sub-contractors currently are facing, they realize the dilemma they face—unit-ed we stand, divided we fall.

Daley’s Drywall is now in its third generation and celebrating 50 years of business in Campbell, Calif. Owner Craig Daley says his father started the company and although his initial dream was to become an air traffic controller out of college, it didn’t take long for him to follow in his father’s footsteps and learn to value the construction industry. His daughter, Brittni Daley has also joined the team as CFO.

Daley’s Drywall works with metal framing, drywall, plaster and acous-tical ceilings on a wide variety of projects. The company has set itself up with internal divisions each spe-cializing in different project types;

by doing this they can specialize in multi-family, large commercial and tenant improvements, Daley says.

The company places precedent on maintaining original work schedules to get projects finished on time and within budget.

“We like helping clients overcome scheduling problems,” Daley says. “It seems like most jobs nowadays fall behind due to city approvals and the early trades. We excel at accelerating.”

ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MENWith 300 employees and the Bay Area being the busiest it’s ever been, Dal-ey’s Drywall is not slowing down. In fact, the company is heavily invested

in BIM and working with clients from project inception to reduce change orders and schedule issues, Daley says.

“The best way to overcome chal-lenges is to work closely with your client. By understanding his problems you can help create solutions,” he says. “No one needs more problems so our goal is to bring solutions to the table. The next step is to get your field guys to understand and buy-in to the solution, after all it’s all about them.”

“I’d like to pass onto any young person thinking about a career path … think about construction espe-cially the subcontractor side,” says Daley, who is currently serving as the AWCI’s president. “While construc-tion is often overlooked by young students, it offers a great lifestyle, the employees are down to earth people and you can really enjoy being part of building our communities.”

Utilizing Allied Building Products’ services has helped ease the com-pany’s efforts to keep scheduling a priority and Daley says his relation-ship with them is very good.

“We can depend on them to pro-vide fast service at competitive pric-es. We depend on their expertise—especially in the acoustical ceilings side of our business,” Daley says.

Current projects include the Rincon 2 Tower in San Francisco, a 53-story apartment building, along with some impressive high end proj-ects at Stanford University, as well as Apple, Google, HP, Gilead and Cisco, Daley says. W&C
