The Home Builder Institute was recently the recipient of a $50 million grant, given by the Home Depot Foundation (HDF) to train 20,000 new skilled workers over the next 10 years. The Institute’s president, John Courson, says the home improvement giant’s generosity could further galvanize the “rebirth” of vocational training in secondary schools.
Already, the Home Builder Institute produces about 5,000 skilled workers every year, Courson says. The Institute focuses on training many trades — carpentry, masonry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting—to underserved and adjudicated youth, ex-offenders and veterans re-entering civilian life. But that’s not all the curriculum touches.
“We also license out our programs to high schools,” Courson says. It’s an approach that allows HBI to expand its training without having to build additional training centers. “About 3,000 students a year currently benefit from it.”

All signs point to high(er) home improvement spending in 2018, with much of the money going to outdoor living enhancements and hiring professionals.
Indicator one: Americans have more disposable income.
In January, real disposable income increased 0.6 percent from the same time last year––the biggest rise in nearly three years, according to the National Association of Homebuilders. It should come as no surprise that personal consumption also rose in January: 2.7 percent year over year, to be exact.
One historical constant in the remodeling industry is that when disposable income rises, so do the amount of home improvement projects homeowners are willing to take on. We saw it clear as day between 2011 and 2013, when the economy was rapidly improving and home improvement spending increased by about $6 billion in two years.

In part one, we discussed the project management concepts of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and project scope development — or the “what” of the project. In this part, we will discuss the schedule, or the “when” of planning. The typical steps to create a schedule include: defining the task, sequence of tasks, estimate resources, estimate durations, develop the schedule and manage the schedule.

Tradeoffs are a fact of life for remodeling Clients. To make good decisions, they need information...all of it.
My wife and I are remodeling our new home. The lighting plan calls for recessed cans over the kitchen countertops and in the four corners of the dining room, which also has a central chandelier. We brought the chandelier with us from our old house, but the can lights will be new, so I asked the electrician about them during a visit to the jobsite. “I don’t use can lights anymore,” he said. He stepped out of the room for a moment, and when he returned he was holding a flat, round fixture of a type I had never seen before. “I use these,” he said. “They’re easy to install just about anywhere, and they only cost about $30.”
