Several of the three-minute videos in this library are separated into two audience categories: “builder customer” and “framer customer.” The code required to embed the video on your company’s website is provided with each video below. Review the Toolbox Guidance Documents to explore how these videos can be used to promote specific products or your overall marketing campaign in conjunction with other CM Toolbox materials.
- History shows that decision makers continue to attend BCMC; the opportunity to launch a new product or capture more market share is as strong as ever.
- BCMC 2009, as always, will bring in attendees that can make the call and make a difference.
- Decision makers and key influencers are precisely the people exhibitors want to target.
- Symptoms of depression include persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety and worthlessness to fatigue, difficulty concentrating and insomnia.
- Depression can result in absenteeism, lost workdays or increased health care claims.
- Depression is a delicate but serious subject, and many people fear they will be judged for admitting their condition.
- We have had to get creative in how we attack what little business is out there, while maintaining a quality team.
- It is at times like these that companies that continue to train and prepare their staff for the upturn will be successful on the other side.
- Turn to page 18 to read how Tri-County Truss earned the VPP (Voluntary Protection Program) award from OSHA.
- The building designer should specify permanent building stability bracing on the construction documents.
- If the building designer does not provide this bracing on the construction documents, the IRC 2006 specifies that BCSI must be followed.
- Wind and seismic loads applied to the gable frame laterally need to be resisted as shown in Figure 4.
- When delivering components, understand the limitations of the vehicle and properly load and secure the cargo.
- Gather as much information as you can from accident scene.
- Take pictures with a digital camera or camera phone, and get names and contact information from eyewitnesses.
- Businesses that emerge from these challenging times will be well-positioned if they take advantage of opportunities to improve.
- We cannot change the world overnight, but we can make a difference by encouraging those around us to be positive.
- Our company buys only from vendors that support our industry through SBC Magazine and the BCMC Show.
- Meeting with them to discuss your needs at this time may be very valuable to your company.
- Continuous studs are required to eliminate hinge points in gable end walls per the 2009 IRC.
- The “all walls” language has been clarified by allowing mixing of braced wall methods.
- The wall bracing section of the 2009 IRC has been extensively rewritten and reorganized.
- Screw guns are not inherently dangerous, but if not used properly, they can cause musculoskeletal injuries.
- Weight, balance, handle shape and diameter, trigger position and size are factors that contribute to their comfort and efficiency.
- One Midwestern manufacturing company uses a screw “machine” in its steel component manufacturing area.
- Making sound business decisions in this business cycle provides no guarantee of business success.
- We must recast the notion of diversification and find creative new ways to serve customers.
- Beyond evaluating sales and product lines, defining clear objectives and consulting with industry peers for ideas are important exercises.
- Heart attacks and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) are not necessarily synonymous.
- SCA is often caused by an arrhythmia, and occurs when the heart stops pumping and starts to quiver rapidly.
- An AED is an electronic device that administers electric shock to an SCA victim.
- If no AED is available, CPR can be performed on an SCA victim to maintain blood flow to the brain.
- Lumber design values, not loads, are adjusted by the load duration factor (LDF).
- The application of LDFs is separate from load combining reduction factors, although both may be used in truss design calculations.
- In areas where snow load controls the design, code allows an LDF of 1.15, not 1.00.
- The new president of SBCA is Ben Hershey of Alliance TruTrus.
- Our industry is unique in that we work together to make builders more efficient.
- The decision to change the association’s name from WTCA to SBCA is a reflection on the products we now market.
- The spread of BCSI in our markets will help build our industry.
