Lee Kirgan, construction manager for Operation Finally Home (OFH), has been busy making the rounds of SBCA chapter meetings. OFH is a non-profit organization that builds mortgage-free homes for wounded veterans and their families. In years past, SBCA partnered with OFH to build one home each year in the city that hosted BCMC. This year, SBCA’s relationship with OFH expanded nationwide.
As I talked to people throughout the week at BCMC, I kept hearing things that led me to conclude there’s a lot more unity in the industry these days.
A full-scale truss bracing demo was an eye-catching feature of the BCMC 2017 show floor.
NFC Executive Director Chris Tatge and SBCA staff member Jim Vogt demonstrated on the BCMC show floor just how quickly a structure comes together with wall panels.
High-stakes competition – at the table, out in the wind, and on the court – showed BCMC attendees know how to enjoy themselves both on and off the show floor. Congratulations to all the BCMC winners!
Thirty-five students and nine instructors from Omaha’s Metropolitan Community College (MCC) visited BCMC this year and got a taste of the many opportunities the structural building components industry has to offer.
There was so much information to absorb at this year’s show! And there are more resources online to help you catch up on anything you missed.
A single event can spark a continuous effort to make production more efficient.
Getting IT staff more involved in operational goals takes engagement from both sides.
To kick off BCMC, SBCA recognized those whose hard work and dedication make this industry what it is.
SBCA staff enjoyed the 2017 BCMC show in Omaha!
