OUR WINDOW<br />
HAS NO ANALOGS<br />
IN THE WORLD.<br />
OUR<br />
WINDOW<br />
IS UNIQUE.<br />
Unlike ordinary curtains,<br />
it uses the space between<br />
the parallel panes of the<br />
window. After a mechanical<br />
rotation, the space gets<br />
filled with an opaque<br />
substance of glass beads<br />
and small homogeneous<br />
granite flakes.<br />
When it comes to “green production” and energy<br />
conservation, we can state that our curtain created<br />
with glass beads is definitely more environmentally<br />
green and energy-saving than all other curtains. There are<br />
incomparably less natural or artificial raw materials and energy<br />
spent on its manufacturing and operation than in any other<br />
case. Glass beads are made of recycled materials. Our curtain<br />
does not need to be washed or ironed, which means that<br />
electrical or physical energy is not consumed, energy is limited<br />
only by the Earth’s gravity. In this regard, it is a real “champion”<br />
among existing competitors.<br />
At the international level, our product first appeared in<br />
2019 in Geneva at the Palexpo exhibition. The presented<br />
prototype caused a lot of positive emotions among attendees.<br />
In Switzerland, we also took the first steps in the search for<br />
international partners.<br />
After the Geneva International Exhibition in 2019, we were<br />
able to improve dramatically. With the help of Georgian<br />
and foreign contractors, simple details are individually<br />
manufactured for us in different countries from different<br />
materials.<br />
The product we are presenting at <strong>Houston</strong> <strong>Build</strong> <strong>Expo</strong><br />
— June 28-29, <strong>2023</strong> was invented in 2015 by Georgian<br />
businessman and scientist Ivane Chkhaidze and his partner<br />
Gogi Chechelashvili. The first patent was granted in 2015 in<br />
the Republic of Georgia. We have also patented the product in<br />
Japan, China and India. In addition, we are waiting for patents<br />
in Europe and in the USA.<br />
Our window is unique and has no analogs in the world. Unlike<br />
ordinary curtains, it uses the space between the parallel panes<br />
of the window. After a mechanical rotation, the space gets filled<br />
with glass beads, thus playing the role of curtains.<br />

Without an offensive posture<br />
determined to save your<br />
company money, economic<br />
insecurities, supply chain<br />
disruptions, and managing<br />
a challenging workforce can<br />
influence companies to be<br />
more reactive, adjusting to<br />
the ever-changing rules and<br />
guidelines. Now is the time<br />
to be proactive, but most<br />
business owners cannot<br />
invest the hours to become<br />
a financial expert and stay<br />
current with the latest tax<br />
strategies.<br />
RICHARD RODGERS<br />
Founder – Dannah<br />
Investment Group LLC<br />
1. Drop in sales of 50% from 2019 to 2020 or a 20% decline by quarter for the first 3 quarters<br />
of 2019 compared to 2021.<br />
2. A business disruption caused by a governmental mandate. This second method is the area that<br />
our tax attorney qualifies most construction companies as eligible. If you have been<br />
told that you don’t qualify as a construction company, it is worth a call to explain<br />
why you might.<br />
3. Rethink Health Insurance<br />
The American Healthcare Act has afforded the creation of programs beneficial<br />
to both the employer and the employee. These unique health insurance plans<br />
incorporate healthy lifestyle strategies that can make you as a business owner<br />
approximately $500 per employee per year. In addition, employees can save<br />
up to $1,800 per year by participating in the healthy lifestyle campaign. We<br />
help connect you to partners who manage all the details and allow you to add<br />
this benefit without changing the quality of care or even changing insurance<br />
companies.<br />
Businesses need a partner whose primary<br />
focus is to make companies more profitable.<br />
This can be accomplished through<br />
operational, insurance and tax strategies<br />
by minimizing your income tax so you can<br />
maximize your working capital to strengthen<br />
your company. We want to share 6 strategies<br />
you should consider to increase profitability<br />
at your construction company:<br />
1. Conduct a Utility Audit<br />
A utility audit company can get you refunded<br />
for past overcharges while also saving on<br />
future bills. They will look back three years<br />
on your utility bills and determine if you<br />
have any bills you should not be paying. On<br />
average, 80-95% of companies qualify for a<br />
refund. They will also do an annual review<br />
for the next three years to help you find any<br />
additional savings.<br />
2. Apply for the Employee Retention Credit<br />
Employee Retention Credits (ERC) came<br />
out the same time as Paycheck Protection<br />
Program (PPP) loans as an incentive program<br />
to help stimulate the economy during the<br />
pandemic. Originally, you could choose<br />
either a PPP loan or ERC. At the end of 2020,<br />
Congress decided you could get both, as long<br />
as you back out the money received from<br />
your PPP loan employee forgiveness as well<br />
as other requirements. There are two ways to<br />
qualify for the ERC:<br />
4. Eliminate Credit Card Charges<br />
Credit card fees are changing dramatically. We can help you reduce or eliminate your credit<br />
card fees by using a merchant processing platform that lowers your monthly merchant credit<br />
card processing fee by up to 15-20%. You can also provide a potential rebate to each customer,<br />
putting money back in their pocket directly after each sale.<br />
5. Be Proactive with Tax Planning<br />
Tax planning is not planning how much tax you have to pay; tax planning is planning on how<br />
to minimize your tax liability by utilizing tax strategies. We can help you reduce your adjusted<br />
gross income through charitable strategies and tax-deductible investments. This is a more<br />
customized approach and is worth a conversation.<br />
6. Defer Your Capital Gains<br />
If you are selling your company at any point, you could be facing substantial capital gains. We have<br />
strategies to defer capital gains, thereby enabling you to earn investment income on what you<br />
would otherwise pay in taxes. We can also increase FDIC limits on cash balances above $1 million.<br />
To give you an idea on the cost savings if you took advantage of these strategies, we have<br />
included a sample Texas <strong>Construction</strong> Company with potential savings.<br />
Fictitious Texas <strong>Construction</strong> Company<br />
50 Employees <strong>Monthly</strong> credit card sales: $100,000 Utility costs: $20,000<br />
Texas <strong>Construction</strong> Company<br />
Strategy 1: Utility Audit Savings $24,000<br />
Strategy 2: Credit Card Savings $42,000<br />
Strategy 3: ERC Savings $756,000<br />
Strategy 4: Health Insurance Savings $25,000<br />
Strategy 5: Tax Planning Savings $285,392<br />
Aggregate Savings: $1,132,392<br />
As you can see, there are substantial savings in each strategy that your company could capitalize<br />
on. All of these strategies require no up-front cost to you, other than your time. By shifting to an<br />
offensive posture, you could save your company hundreds of thousands of dollars.<br />

PROJECT MANAGEMENT<br />
Scott Beebe<br />
Founder & Head Coach | Business on Purpose<br />
<strong>Build</strong>ing A Homebuilding and<br />
Remodeling Company That Attracts<br />
the RIGHT People Like a Division 1<br />
College Football Powerhouse<br />
Wednesday, June 28 | 11:15 a.m.-12:15p.m.<br />
Keynote Area<br />
As a Division 1 Football player in the powerful<br />
Southeastern Conference (SEC) Scott has seen firsthand the<br />
behind-the-scenes system that is being constantly updated<br />
and refined to ensure that athletically talented 16 and 17<br />
adolescents choose the right team.<br />
Remodeler and home builder owners are in a season of<br />
work where they have a choice: see the next generation<br />
as a hindrance with excuses like “they won’t work”, or to<br />
see this new generation as an opportunity to pivot with a<br />
renewed mindset like “I’m excited to see how they own the<br />
mission!”<br />
There is a shortage of workers for the old-school<br />
methodologies but there is not a shortage of people willing<br />
to work…towards the right mission.<br />
This life-changing and engaging keynote pulls from our<br />
work with hundreds of owners and gets you on the path to<br />
building a powerhouse team.<br />
You will be equipped to beat chaos with predictability, and<br />
to build a business that brings stability, life, and time for<br />
what matters most.<br />
Learning Objectives<br />
1. Learn The 3 Foundational Layers Of EVERY Contracting<br />
Business<br />
2. Understand the 5 Non-Negotiables Of <strong>Build</strong>ing And<br />
Leading A Vision-Centered Team<br />
3. Discover the key elements of powerhouse recruiting that<br />
will have you speaking to a younger generation the way<br />
they wish to be spoken to!<br />
PROJECT MANAGEMENT<br />
Recruiting And Hiring:<br />
The 4 Systems Every Home <strong>Build</strong>er<br />
And Remodeler Owner Needs To<br />
<strong>Build</strong> The Right People That <strong>Build</strong>s<br />
The Right Business<br />
Thursday, June 29 | 11:15 a.m.-12:15p.m.<br />
Keynote Area<br />
People, people, people! How do we find the right people to<br />
hire? How do we find ANY people to hire?<br />
The Boomers retired early, and the emerging generations<br />
are much more selective in the work they choose. How can<br />
you find the right people, recruit them the right way, share<br />
the right vision, and then onboard them the right way that<br />
aligns with the right mission?<br />
Re-imagine the business of your contracting firm with<br />
this engaging keynote talk drawing from our work with<br />
hundreds of contractor owners that led to our proprietary<br />
and proven road map.<br />
This road map will equip you to beat chaos with<br />
predictability, and to build the team that will build the<br />
business to make time for what matters most.<br />
Learning Objectives<br />
1. Learn the one culprit that keeps us from experience the<br />
deep work and flow that we want but can’t see to find<br />
2. Discover the 4 systems that all business owners must<br />
implement…regardless of size or scope<br />
3. Uncover the secret to a great culture that keeps and<br />
promotes great people<br />

Tom Woodcock<br />
President | Seal the Deal<br />
Selling Thru a Tough Economy<br />
Wednesday, June 28 | 1:15 p.m.-2:15p.m.<br />
Keynote Area<br />
We’re seeing volatile pricing formats, supply chain<br />
interruption and rising interest rates. This usually ends<br />
in tough economic conditions, resulting in construction<br />
industry challenges. Knowing the best way to stay ahead of<br />
these changes and keep your business moving forward is<br />
difficult. We’ll look at the methods successful contractors<br />
use to weather shifting economic conditions. We’ll cover:<br />
1. Increasing your portion of the market pie<br />
2. Getting a competitive advantage<br />
3. Managing customer expectations<br />
4. Structuring your sales effort<br />
5. How to balance sales and marketing efforts<br />
You’ll come away from this session with a better<br />
understanding of what it will take to grow in both revenue<br />
and profitability in these times. Sales are the most<br />
important aspect of your business. Everything else simply<br />

Scott Beebe<br />
Founder & Head Coach | Business on Purpose<br />
The culture of your business is a DIRECT RESULT of the<br />
ingredients that you allow to enter into the building. Good<br />
ingredients equal good culture, and vice versa. Culture is<br />
more than ping pong tables and bean bag chairs. Culture is<br />
about relationships, connection, and communication.<br />
Culture will determine the joy that we find in running our<br />
business. We all want a great culture, and we know we have<br />
to work for it…but how? Most strategies include a crossyour-fingers<br />
approach.<br />
This fun and surprising workshop will remove the confusion<br />
around great culture and provide you with the action and<br />
clarity you need to build a culture that you are proud of and<br />
that all generations want to be a part of.<br />
Learning Objectives<br />
1. Clarify the elements of great culture, and identify<br />
distracting elements of bad culture so you can focus on<br />
the elements of great culture<br />
2. Walk away with a one page visual of building great culture<br />
in your business starting tomorrow<br />
3. Discover the motivation to stop wasting time and money<br />
on team outings and bonus plans that rarely move the<br />
needle<br />

Pella Corporation recently made two<br />
significant acquisitions: Bonelli and WinDor.<br />
These additions further enhance Pella’s already<br />
extensive portfolio, allowing homeowners<br />
and builders to choose from a wider range of<br />
window and door options. Whether it’s the<br />
timeless elegance of a single-hung window,<br />
the functionality of a sliding patio door, or<br />
the contemporary appeal of a bi-fold door,<br />
Pella has a solution to suit every style and<br />
preference.<br />
Pella’s commitment even extends to their<br />
industry-leading limited lifetime warranty,<br />
ensuring that builders can reduce callbacks<br />
after completion, and homeowners are taken<br />
care of for years to come.<br />
Mike Reed, Agnes and Eric Smithey are pictured.<br />
<strong>Houston</strong> Home <strong>Build</strong>ers Pick<br />
Pella for Innovative Products<br />
and Exclusive Support<br />
<strong>Houston</strong>’s booming housing market is<br />
creating a crunch for builders who<br />
specialize in custom and semi-custom<br />
homes, sending them searching for<br />
suppliers and partners who understand<br />
the unique challenges of the industry.<br />
One of the most important materials a<br />
builder sources for a homeowner is the<br />
windows and doors — a product that has<br />
the potential to make or break a timeline,<br />
budget, or customer confidence.<br />
That’s why more and more builders are turning<br />
to Pella Products of <strong>Houston</strong> for solutions<br />
that serve their homeowner’s needs. “We’re<br />
committed to providing an exceptional<br />
experience for builders and finding new ways<br />
to make their work easier,” said Agnes Smithey,<br />
new ownership partner at Pella Products of<br />
<strong>Houston</strong>.<br />
Agnes and Eric Smithey joined Principal Owner<br />
Michael Reed at Pella Products of <strong>Houston</strong><br />
in 2021, bringing 30+ years of industry<br />
experience to the team. Since then they have<br />
rolled out a new program for builders that<br />
includes training and support through the<br />
exclusive Pella Certified Contractor Program,<br />
as well as white-glove service at the job site.<br />
In addition to its existing product lineup, Pella<br />
Corporation recently made two significant<br />
acquisitions: Bonelli and WinDor. These<br />
additions further enhance Pella’s already<br />
extensive portfolio, allowing homeowners and<br />
builders to choose from an even wider range<br />
of window and door options. Whether it’s the<br />
timeless elegance of a single-hung window,<br />
the functionality of a sliding patio door, or<br />
the contemporary appeal of a bi-fold door,<br />
Pella has a solution to suit every style and<br />
preference.<br />
Pella Products of <strong>Houston</strong> has seen significant<br />
demand for its products and services, and<br />
its new experience center delivers. Visitors<br />
can explore a wide range of Pella products,<br />
including windows and doors of various styles<br />
and designs - displaying exceptional design<br />
and craftsmanship from single and doublehung<br />
windows to patio doors, casement and<br />
awning windows, multi-slides, bi-fold doors<br />
and windows, hinge doors, and pivot doors.<br />
It is also a space where clients can meet with<br />
the Pella team, ensuring personalized attention<br />
and tailored solutions.<br />
“We often hear that our state-of-the-art<br />
experience center is a game changer for<br />
our builders,” said Smithey. “Giving your<br />
homeowner a hands-on experience with the<br />
window and door selection builds trust in<br />
the products you’re putting in their home –<br />
and puts them in the driver’s seat during the<br />
selection process. So, they really understand<br />
how important their windows and doors are to<br />
loving their home for the long haul.”<br />
Proper installation is critical to performance,<br />
and Pella also offers professional installation<br />
services for single-family new construction,<br />
helping to alleviate labor shortage challenges<br />
for builders and ensuring a quality installation.<br />
With their award-winning products, limited<br />
lifetime warranty, and outstanding customer<br />
service, Pella Products of <strong>Houston</strong> is the<br />
preferred window and door partner for<br />
builders, homeowners, and contractors. Visit<br />

HOMEBUILDING INDUSTRY<br />
By AIMEE BERTRAND<br />
The Greater <strong>Houston</strong> <strong>Build</strong>ers<br />
Association (GHBA) welcomes you to<br />
the <strong>Houston</strong> <strong>Build</strong> <strong>Expo</strong>! Our region<br />
has one of the fastest growing housing<br />
markets in the country and the GHBA is the<br />
largest home builders’ association in Texas.<br />
GHBA’s more than 1,600 member companies<br />
not only consist of residential home builders,<br />
but also residential land developers,<br />
remodelers, engineers, subcontractors, and<br />
vendors, all affiliated with the home building<br />
industry.<br />
But why should you become a GHBA<br />
member? I’ve got six great reasons for you:<br />
Strength in Numbers:<br />
3-in-1 Membership<br />

member of the Texas Association of <strong>Build</strong>ers<br />
(TAB) and the National Association of Home<br />
<strong>Build</strong>ers (NAHB). This benefit brings members<br />
the best of all worlds — local networking and<br />
resources, along with access to invaluable<br />
state and national information and privileges.<br />
TAB has nearly 10,000 members across<br />
the state. NAHB has 140,000 members<br />

efforts by GHBA, TAB and NAHB have<br />
saved individual builders and home buyers<br />
thousands of dollars per home each year.<br />
Collectively, these savings exceed several<br />
billion dollars and directly affect your<br />
business’ bottom line.<br />
Expand your professional network<br />
Membership affords you opportunities to<br />
increase business and connect with other<br />
construction industry professionals. Bring<br />

programs offered by your local, state and<br />
national associations on products and services<br />
that you use everyday, from insurance to<br />
office supplies to building supplies.<br />
<strong>Build</strong> the future of our workforce<br />
As our members have dealt with labor<br />
shortages, GHBA has worked to build<br />
collaborations with education, training and<br />
employer partners, to ensure that we don’t<br />
lose students in homebuilding education<br />
programs to other industries. In 2022,<br />
<strong>Houston</strong> became home to the <strong>Build</strong>Strong<br />
Academy, powered by the Home <strong>Build</strong>ers<br />
Institute, where students can learn skills<br />
to gain employment in construction jobs<br />
for FREE. GHBA has also created a free<br />
job board for members to post their open<br />
positions at www.ghba.org/careers-inconstruction.<br />
In partnership with our members, the<br />
GHBA continues its mission to interact with<br />
government, the community, and the general<br />
public to enhance the business climate for its<br />
members, and to provide quality, attainable<br />
housing to the community it serves. Come<br />
join the GHBA and you will get more than<br />
you give to the industry…and have a great<br />
time doing it!<br />
