January 2017
Dear CAM Members,
I would like to wish each and every one of you a very happy and prosperous New Year. Another year has passed and our industry continues to gain steam.
Now we talk of workforce shortages, backlogs and transition in government; what a change from seven or eight years ago. Year after year, we can always
count on change, and CAM continues to embrace change in order to deliver improved member benefits and services. Our goal, as always, is to provide CAM
Members with the best service, information and assistance in the construction industry.
Your success and happiness lies within you Helen Keller
In March 2016, former CAM Chairman of the Board Larry S. Brinker, Jr. and I were interviewed by Fox News National reporter Mike Tobin regarding the current
workforce shortage in the Michigan construction industry. Workforce development is being attacked at a local level through CAMs Construction Workforce
Development Initiative: 3D - Develop, Design and Deliver. 20 Detroit high school students were selected to participate in the pilot program, and were successfully
trained in the construction process, in specific trades, with hands-on experience and paid internships. Program graduates were then eligible for a 7-week paid
internship with a CAM Member company. High school students have been made aware that there are other options available to them other than four-year
degrees, and are on their way to successful careers in construction. This program has been one of the major initiatives for our last two CAM Chairmen - Larry
Brinker, Jr. and Giuseppe (Joe) Palazzolo - and remains at the top of list in 2017. The program has been expanded for 2017 and is available to school districts
and job recruitment agencies throughout the state. Check out our promotional video at http://www.cam-online.com/laborrelations/3Dprogram.aspx.
During 2016, the membership department worked to implement a new database, which will manage membership records and provide an online portal for event
registration, payment of invoices, and tracking of continuing education units. The launch is scheduled for late February 2017. Additional networking events
have been added to the 2017 calendar, including a monthly brewery tour and an OHL game between the Flint Firebirds and the Saginaw Spirit.
CAMTEC the training and education division of CAM expanded both its course offerings and training space over the past year. Overall, CAMTEC held nearly
70 classes attended by more than 750 students, almost doubling its numbers from the previous year. More than 130 people received their First Aid/ CPR/AED
certifications through CAMTEC in 2016. In early fall, CAMTEC signed a formal agreement with the Mid-America OSHA Education Center (MAOEC) to serve as
a host site offering OSHA-authorized courses. This allows CAMTEC to increase its safety-related course offerings for the 2016-2017 training cycle by adding
22 OSHA-authorized courses, including the OSHA 500 and 501 trainer courses for construction and general industry.To better meet the safety education needs
of mid-Michigan workers, CAMTEC began offering classes at its downtown Saginaw office. Several sessions took place in 2016, with more to come in 2017.
Also in the works for 2017 is an expansion of the CAMTEC training space in Bloomfield Hills.
CAMSAFETY continued offering free training under our MIOSHA-CET Grant, conducting training sessions for almost 800 individuals. In June, CAMSAFETY
and the George W. Auch Company celebrated the signing of their new construction safety alliance agreement. Designed to provide ongoing safety training and
site visits during the $18 million renovation project at the Livonia-based Stevenson High School, the alliance agreement is supported by MIOSHA and is expected
to improve site safety. CAMSAFETYs annual Safety Leadership Conference, held in December, brought in more than 150 participants at Laurel Manor in Livonia.
This day-long event featured 12 different seminars, panel discussions, a Keynote speaker, and a networking reception to close the day.
Last year was a busy year for CAMs Construction Project Information Group. The newsroom reported on over 7,000 projects, continuing the three-year grow
trend. In addition, we launched our new Newsroom software, the Virtual Planroom Network. Our easy to use system has brought greater functionality to our
membership along with access to projects across the country. Watch for more exciting enhancements in the Newsroom during 2017.
During the waning days of the 2016 election year, the CAM-Government Affairs Committee (GAC) organized and hosted a Legislative Breakfast. The well-
attended event afforded guests with the opportunity to meet and interact with many elected members of the Michigan Legislature. As always, the CAM GAC,
along with its lobbying firm KDA, continued to monitor and advance pro-business and pro-construction policies and legislation, including performance/prompt
pay, collaboration and workforce development initiatives.
In closing, I urge you to visit the 2017 Michigan Construction & Design Tradeshow and the CAM 131st Annual Meeting at MotorCity Casino Hotel on February
1, 2017. The Keynote Speaker at this years Annual Meeting will be Matt Cullen, principal of Rock Ventures, LLC. His address, Opportunity Detroit, will cover
Detroits exciting present, promising future, and Rock Ventures role in moving the city forward. This will be a cant miss Annual Meeting.

DEWALT Cuts the Cord with FLEXVOLT

S tep into the Sterling Heights facility of the R.S. Dale Company and be immersed in one of the largest collections of gadgets
for commercial and industrial contractors, says R.S. Dale President Randy Dale, as he stands among the well-stocked shelves of
a warehouse filled with over 20,000 items, each between 50 and 500,000 in number. Walk into Dales office to view a type of
demonstration of this specialty distributors product line of pipe hangers, threaded rod, anchors and fasteners for hanging, mounting,
fastening and anchoring virtually anything. In this product demonstration, his office interior is crowded with about five large fish
and eight trophy deer, all well fastened and securely anchored to the walls.
The office dcor fits Randy Dales origins in the tool and fastener business. Working as a harbor master in Port Sanilac while
earning a business and marketing degree from Central Michigan University, Dale met successful business people with a love for the
outdoors. A salmon fishing trip with the owner of a Detroit-based construction supply company led to his first sales job. The rest
is history. In the tool business since 1984, Dale ultimately managed the company until launching his own enterprise in 2007. Today,
R.S. Dale Company is a successful distributor serving electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC contractors, fire protection contractors
and general contractors with not only anchors, fasteners, hangers and strut framing, but also a host of tools along with safety
equipment and supplies.

T O O L S
Beebe. For the 20-volt tool, FLEXVOLT operates the three rows of
five cells in parallel mode. For the 20-volt tool, FLEXVOLT runs five
cells at a time, and once those five cells lose charge, the next row
of five cells power the tool without the need to charge the battery,
explains Beebe.
Thats the theory. Heres the practice: On the jobsite, FLEXVOLT
boosts safety and improves efficiency. Safety-wise, fewer cords will
eliminate tripping hazards. Efficiency-wise, the daily ritual of hauling
out and then returning a tangled web of extension cords will no
longer dominate the beginning and end of a workday. Imagine
arriving at a jobsite at 6:30 am, and pulling out all the extension
cords you put away the night before, said Dale. Its very time-
consuming, and expensive cords might be damaged, versus just
turning on the tool and using it.
Tasks can be conducted at the actual work area rather than near
a power outlet or tethered by cord to a gas generator on a jobsite
without permanent power, added Thompson. Working in multiple
areas of the site throughout the course of the day can be more easily
and more quickly accomplished.
In research and development for over two years, DEWALT held a
live launch of FLEXVOLT on Facebook in June 2016. DEWALT began
taking orders in April 2016 and shipping products in mid-July 2016
for its distributor network. Jobsite demonstrations have already
taken place in Detroit, including at the emerging Little Caesars
Arena. Reaction is positive and interest is high, said Dale.
Current demand for FLEXVOLT has already sky-rocketed and
outpaced supply. On average, 2016 demand is seven times larger
than forecasted, said Beebe quoting DEWALT. FLEXVOLT has far
exceeded our wildest expectations in regard to user and distributor
demand.
FLEXVOLT has the potential to actually replace a sizeable majority
of corded tools on construction sites, said Beebe. Once FLEXVOLT
floods the market, Beebe estimates the ratio of cordless to corded
tools will be 70 to 30 as compared to the current 60 to 40 market
dominance of the corded tools. In the early days of cordless,
ergonomic concerns led to smaller, lighter tools, but now
contractors are demanding portability, power and run time, said
Beebe. Twenty years ago, the 12-volt cordless tool was also a
luxury. It was expensive and only used if you were more than 100
feet away from a plug, a hundred feet being the length of the typical
extension cord. Twenty years later, the industry is coming full circle,
and soon the corded tool will be a dinosaur.
Despite the successful roll-out of FLEXVOLT, DEWALT is not
resting on its laurels. The current FLEXVOLT battery is six-amp
hours, but DEWALT will soon debut a nine-amp hour version. Beebe
explains the difference: An amp hour rating can be viewed as a
fuel or gas tank. In comparing a six-amp to a nine-amp hour rated
battery, both are producing the same power but the higher-rated one
will basically run longer than the other battery. Coming soon, the
FLEXVOLT 9.0 Ah battery will power several 60-volt tools, including
a rotary hammer described below, as well as a blower, a plunge saw,
a 15-inch string trimmer and a 16-inch chainsaw.
Always in the forefront of new developments, such as FLEXVOLT,
R.S. Dale Company stays true to its mission to give its customers a
competitive edge. Currently in short supply because of high
demand, FLEXVOLT itself promises to be a game-changer

many people. This is part of the end

A-List Team Builds Creative Utopia in Royal Oak
The Detroit area is once again becoming a mecca for making legendary music. A growing number of nationally known, A-List recording artists are
frequenting a former industrial building turned creative utopia in Royal Oak. Grammy-nominated producer and Detroit area native, Roger L. Goodman,
assembled his own A-List project team of Saroki Architecture and Kelly Building & Development Company, both of Birmingham, along with a host of
artisans and acoustic consultants, to convert an auto parts warehouse into a lavishly appointed and richly layered series of spaces, all clustered
around a working recording studio. AIA Michigan, AIA Detroit and the Masonry Institute of Michigan have already showered the project with awards.
Recording artists reserve the entire building for their own work, and enjoy free reign of the studio, along with a lounge, kitchen, basketball court,
fitness center, an art gallery and an outdoor courtyard. Each space is music translated into color, texture, pattern and material richness:
The lounge has a striped White Oak floor, each plank stained a different color tone; three dense clusters of long-corded light bulbs splay
downward from the ceiling, creating light fixtures resembling pendulous inverted flowers.
Both the lounge walls and the art gallery are blanketed in blue-colored plaster, hand-embossed with an alligator skin pattern by a local artist.
The kitchen is one of the more understated spaces, the goal being to highlight an immense table of Labradorite Lemurian Blue Granite,
a gorgeous dark rock with swathes of aqua blue, iridescent hues, courtesy of Ciot Detroit, Troy.
The control rooms sound board and other audio production equipment are mounted on cabinetry featuring carved wood lions as decorative
end pieces. The Live Room for the recording artists includes angled walls of Western Red Cedar also striped in different stains. Changeable
and adjustable LED lights add a select glow to the working studio.
The interior doesnt just speak to the creative force within; it sings. For recording artists, it would be hard not to be inspired in a place of such
virtuoso design, construction and craftsmanship, along with the newest audio production equipment available. As architect of record, Saroki
Architecture synthesized an eclectic blend of different styles into a symphony of uncommon spaces. Other areas showcase the industrial aesthetic
of the existing buildings exposed metal deck and structure, along with new insertions of exposed ductwork and structural steel. According to Saroki
Designer and Project Architect Jim DiMercurio, NCARB, LEED AP, an outdoor courtyard and the exterior itself echo modern Japanese architecture in
its simple geometries and natural material palette of wood, and in this case, plaster formed to simulate concrete.

wood cabinetry turn the Control Room into a lush and layered space.

There was a study about what the right means
and methods were to produce that wall, and
we ended up going with full masonry.
Zanni Plastering was the firm responsible for
installing this artistic-type of cement plaster
over block, and applying the plaster to
resemble concrete right down to the faux holes
or dimples at the corners that simulate the
location of ties in concrete formwork. The
plastering company also had to carefully dial
in the color and texture to make it look just
right, said DiMercurio. At one time we did
consider using new precast tilt-up panels, but
we liked the look and rhythm of the plaster
wall. We also had more control using plaster,
because its use accelerated production. We
could just get the plaster out to the site and
just do it.
Western Red Cedar panels clad a portion of
the exterior wall, adding the richness of wood
and the clean, straight grain of the cedar to the
exterior palette. We used the wood screens
on the walls to warm up the exterior, and they
actually worked their way into the interior of the
building as well, said DiMercurio. The modern
Japanese architect, Takaharu, was the source
of inspiration for the exterior walls simplicity
of materials and line, added DiMercurio.
The seamless cedar panels of the security

neighboring brick building and the insertion of
a new masonry screen wall, concealing the
entry to the building, helps to create a private

In harmony with the rest of the interior, the
Live Room is an eclectic blend of multiple
styles. A newly constructed and exposed
block wall, filled with sound attenuation
material, not only aids in acoustical control, but
also introduces the industrial aesthetic into the
space. Angled acoustic wall panels are clad in
lavish, intricately patterned wall paper. In the
ceiling surface, a sound diffuser grid, formed
of small uneven cubes, is awash in magenta
LED lights at the moment. Recording artists
can chose any LED color to suit their mood.
The same type of diffuser panel was installed
in wall areas.
This holistic mix of elements is beautiful,
creatively stimulating and capable of producing
a crisp sound recording. The angled walls
bounce the sound off of everything in the
room, said Suwinski. The sound travels and
does not stay in one area but circulates
throughout the entire room. The diffusers on
the ceiling do the same type of thing. If
someone is on the floor playing music, the
sound is traveling up, down and all around.
This keeps the sound consistently distributed
throughout the space. This consistency
produces a crisp sound during recording.
The Control Room the hub of audio
