Shoe Covers and Walk-Off Mats - Keep Your Jobsite Clean!

With winter weather around the corner, it is important to account for keeping mud, dirt, and debris off of jobsite floors. Two simple and quick methods can go a long ways in keeping floors clean and free of damage. Shoe Covers and Walk-Off Mats are our customers' favorite ways to combat jobsite mud.
SCP Cloth Shoe Covers
Walk-off adhesive mats are a regular floor protection solution on jobsite, both residential and commercial alike. By preventing dirt and debris from entering a workspace, Walk-off mats save time in cleaning costs and can prevent floor damage to begin with. We carry two types of adhesive floor mats. We offer a standard pack, totaling 120 sheets, as well as a starter kit, which has 30 sheets and includes a plastic base. We recommended beginning with the Starter Kit, then using the standard packs to refill mats as needed. 

We carry a range of shoe covers for every builders' need. Starting with SCP disposable cloth shoe covers, which are ideal for temporary applications such as showing a home. When a shoe cover needs to be waterproof, the SPL line of shoe covers is ideal. Made from plastic and featuring an elastic band to keep the covers securely tied around a boot, these can stand up to wet weather and mud. Finally, Tyvek shoe covers are the strongest on the market. Made from reinforced Tyvek plastic, thse shoe covers are strong, tear-resistant, and waterproof. 

For more information about Walk-Off Mats, Shoe Covers, or any other surface protection product, visit our website www.buildsitepro.com or email us at sales@buildsitepro.com

All-New 48" Protecta Foam Used at Knight Cancer Institute

Among the newest products we offer, the all-new 48" Protecta-Foam will be used to protect interior walls and panels at OHSU's new Knight Cancer Institute. A joint venture between Andersen Construction and Hoffman Corp, the new $160 million building is the latest in a string of expansions and additions to the science complex. 

A rendering of the new Cancer Institute

Protecta-Foam has previously been used by Andersen Construction in numerous residential projects. However, this marks the first time it has been used in a commercial application to protect lab wall panels. The 48" foam is being wrapped over bespoke wall panels, protecting lab-grade materials from surface damage. This marks the first commercial construction use of our new 48" foam, which was created to provide more versatility in what could be protected with the foam. Also available in 30", 18", and 4" widths, we now carry an extensive line of Protecta-Foam for new applications. 

As this project progresses we're excited to provide new products and existing protection solutions to this center. To learn more about Protecta-Foam, or any other surface protection products, visit our website www.buildsitepro.com or email us at sales@buildsitepro.com

New Air Scrubbers and Abatement Supplies Now On Our Website

In an effort to continually grow and expend our line of specialty abatement supplies, we now offer a wider array of Air Scrubbers than ever before. Now available in a range of sizes, capacity, and materials, our line of Air Scrubbers is capable of handling the needs of any project.

PAS600 Air Scrubber
Air Scrubbers draw air from a contaminated source and filter air to remove particulate matter. When set up in an enclosed space, scrubbers pass contaminated air through a high-efficiency HEPA filter, then through an exhaust vent outside of the enclosed workspace. In doing so, a negative air pressure is maintained within the work space, ensuring that no particulate matter escapes the work area. Cleaning the air and removing the contaminated particulate matter from air is an integral part of a remediation project, and it accelerates how quickly mold, smoke, and other damage can be repaired.

The new portable air scrubbers, manufactured by Abatement Technologies, are among the most compact and portable scrubbers available. Ideal for anything from home remodel and remediation projects to commercial sized restoration, our customers have relied on these machines like this for years.

To learn more about Air Scrubbers and other abatement materials, email us at sales@buildsitepro.com or visit our website www.buildsitepro.com

Specialty Abatement Supplies Available from Builders Site Protection

In addition to surface protection supplies for construction projects, we also carry a huge range of specialty abatement supplies and materials. We are the Central Oregon distributor for Fiberlock, a manufacturer of specialty abatement, cleaning, and lead remediation products. Anything from contaniment units to anti-mold treatments, Fiberlock is an industry leader in abatement supplies.



Locally, our business is increasing sales of specialty abatement supplies. As winter approaches, that inevitably means that snow, rain, water damage, and mold are not far behind. Contractors become very busy come spring, and it can take months to get damage fixed for a reasonable price. However, using abatement supplies on your own is something most people can do. Many professional-grade abatement supplies such as Aftershock, Shockwave, and other mold killers, can be applied via paint roller or brush.

To learn more about abatement supplies, email us at sales@buildsitepro.com or visit our website www.buildsitepro.com

Protecta-Foam Cabinet Protection Now Offered In New Sizes

We're happy to announce that larger rolls of our popular Protecta-Foam cabinet protection are now available. In addition to the standard 30" x 100' and the small 4" x 425' rolls, we now offer these new sizes:

18" x 425'
30" x 425' 
48" x 425' 

Our new 30" x 425' roll
Larger rolls are better suited for large-scale projects, and larger custom finishes. Now, rather than using multiple sheets to cover a kitchen island or specialized cabinetry, larger and longer rolls can accomplish more surface protection. Further, larger rolls also allow for quantity discounts, as the cost per square foot of larger rolls is less than that of the standard 30" x 100' roll. If there are a number of finishes to be protected, scaling up to a large roll of Protecta-Foam is the cost effective way to do so.

Cabinet makers and commercial builders have for years been interested in more product size options for Protecta-Foam, so we are excited to meet those requests. To learn more about Protecta-Foam, or any other surface protection product/need, email us at sales@buildsitepro.com or visit our website www.buildsitepro.com

Customize Toilet Sheaths With Our Specialty Printing Options

We're continually striving to offer our customers the widest selection in unique and effective surface protection products. We've brought to market and patented such concepts as DoorGuard, Protecta-Foam, and we pioneered the now-popular threshold tape.


Adding to the unique line of products we carry, customized Toilet Sheaths allow homebuilders to showcase their commitment to quality while featuring their own logos and design language. Toilet Sheath has always been extremely well received by homeowners, and adding custom printing to toilet sheath even furthers the association between a brand and quality. As seen in the photo above, custom printing allows us to add a company logo, and feature company colors on the entire sheath.

Toilet Sheath custom printing is ideal for large-scale homebuilders with many toilets to protect. We can provide quotations on orders as small as 1,000 total Toilet Sheaths. Please contact us for further information and product mockups.

To learn more about Toilet Sheath, or any other finish protection products, visit our website www.buildsitepro.com or email us at sales@buildsitepro.com

Do It all With Our Red Polyethylene Tape

The most popular option to tape seams on RamBoard isn't either type of RamBoard Tape, it's Red Polyethylene Tape. Most of our commercial GC customers prefer the red tape because of the stronger hold and a more cost-effective price.
Also marketed as stucco tape, red tape, and poly tape, Red Polyethelyne Tape can be used on any application so long as the tape isn't directly adhered to a finish surface. Indoors, outdoors, on stucco or on floor protection, poly tape is a capable do-it-all tool. Available in packs of 6 rolls or discounted cases of 24 rolls, the 2" x 180' is an affordable and versatile alternative to standard seam and duct
tapes.

If you have any more questions about Red Poly Tape, or any other finish protection products, email us at sales@buildsitepro.com or visit our website www.buildsitepro.com

DoorGuard Plus in-use in St. Charles Medical Ctr
Originally designed for use in hospitals, Doorguard Plus is now a common product that commercial and residential builders alike use in non-hospital settings. We have had a number of custom homebuilders rely on DoorGuard Plus to protect large and custom doors on homes, as well as other non-standard sized doors on commercial projects. Constructed from the same b/c flute board as our original DoorGuard, DoorGuard Plus withstands damage and can be reused. DoorGuard Plus is offered with larger attachment bands than standard DoorGuard, to better accomodate wider doors.

Get Your Water, Smoke, and Lead Remediation Supplies Through BSP

Recently we've taken on a new project sourcing materials and supplies for a local building with massive fire damage. Our customer came to us because he knew we could source just about anything for any type of job - and we did just that. Two portable air scrubbers with HEPA filters, dozens of gallons of smoke counteractant and degreaser later, along with hundreds of soot-ready chem sponges, that project is about done.


The point is, we stock a variety of remediation products, but we can also access even more types of specialized materials. Over the recent record-setting winter snowfalls, our customers were inundated with jobs to fix water damage due to failing roofs. We provided fungicidal coatings, mold killers, and sealants for eater damaged homes and businesses. And now that it's a record-setting summer for fires, we're filling the same role for smoke and fire damage.

If you're in need of specialized materials to combat water damage, lead contamination, mold growth, smoke damage, or anything else, contact us at sales@buildsitepro.com or visit our website www.buildsitepro.com

Keep Floors Clean With Walk-Off Adhesive Mats

One of the most popular products we've provided jobsites this summer are our Adhesive Walk-Off Mats. Adhesive Mats are a 24" x 36" 4 pack of floor mats with 30 sticky pages to remove the dirt and debris from workers' and clients' shoes.
Typically placed at door entryways, hallways, and outside of jobsite trailers, adhesive mats are among the easiest ways to mitigate jobsite dirt and dust. We regularly provide residential jobsites with cases of Adhesive Walk-Off Mats. Builders often place a mat at the front door of every unit at their project. Featuring 120 total sticky sheets, one case of Walk-Off mats can remove dirt for months on end. Because there are 30 sheets, simply tear off the dirtied sheet and another clean adhesive sheet is ready to tackle dust.

DoorGuard Being Used In New Downtown Portland Project

We just reached a deal to provide our DoorGuard temporary door protection and RamBoard floor protection to Andersen Construction's new Heartline residential project in downtown Portland, Oregon. This project is a mixed-use residential tower with 218 high end apartment units. Situated in the Pearl District of downtown Portland, the location of these apartments is extremely desirable. A mix of concrete and structural steel frame glass curtain walls, Heartline is unique and bold in its architecture.


Andersen Construction has relied on our DoorGuard door protection for numerous projects in the past. DoorGuard is a temporary door protector made from reinforced fiber board. DoorGuard is novel in that it attaches to doors with two elastic bands, which serve to hold the protection in place while the door maintains functional use. We have also supplied RamBoard floor protection to a number of Andersen's Oregon projects.

We're proud to maintain this continued working relationship, and we look forward to providing local surface protection to Andersen Construction's projects moving forward. It's gratifying to see the ever-changing Portland skyline, and knowing that you played a part in a number of the new developments.

Demolition vs Deconstruction--- Portland's New Policy

Over the course of 2017, the city of Portland has initiated a law mandating that any home built prior to 1916 must be deconstructed rather than demolished. Deconstruction is the method by which homes are slowly taken apart, so that numerous parts and materials are salvaged along the way. This is a much longer and more labor-intensive process than demolition, in which a house is destroyed with machinery and loaded into dumpsters, saving few materials along the way.

Vintage flooring being deconstructed and saved
Many materials used in classic and vintage homes have a substantial resale value. Stressed hardwood, classic windows, vintage appliances and numerous other materials are in demand among retail outlets such as coffee shows, brew houses, retail fashion storefronts, and others. There is a proven want for reclaimed building materials used in high end commercial and residential projects.

So far deconstruction has successfully served to preserve and to recycle vintage materials; but has also proven itself to be an extremely valuable training program for young workers. The training aspect of the program serves an important purpose in a time of need for the building industry. Post-recession, a large number of trained workers permanently left the building industry. This now leaves construction companies scrambling to find trained labor, and struggling to train adequate numbers of new workers.

This law in Portland shows that the lack of job training programs can be at least in part remedied by deconstruction programs. The training program has proven so successful, that the city is now considering whether or not to extend the law to homes built prior to 1926, thus expanding the scope of training programs. For an industry struggling to attract young and trained workers, any positive step is one in the right direction.

For now, Portland remains the only large city with these laws in place. However, with the seemingly apparent success of deconstruction programs many more cities and building associations may soon take notice.

Building With Mass Timber - A New Technology

A few years back we wrote a small piece about the potential rise of Cross Laminated Timer/Mass Timber construction. At that time, the very first commercial CLT building s were in the planning and early building stages.

Now, numerous commercial CLT buildings have been erected nationwide, and developers' sights have turned towards high rises. A new business center in Minnesota currently stands as the nation's largest mass timber building, and a new 12 story high rise has secured permits and is on the way in Portland, Oregon. Potentially taking the trend of building CLT high rises even further, an 80 story tower in Chicago is currently being seriously considered as well.

Portland's soon-to-be CLT high rise
In Oregon, the political appeal of CLT buildings lies in boosting the local economy. As small woodmill towns suffer from unemployment and brain-drain to larger cities, CLT provides a way to at least partially remedy some of those troubles. This economic boost is how the 12 story high rise in Portland earned its building permits and various grants.

An even more important benefit of mass timber construction lies in its carbon footprint. Releasing substantially fewer greenhouse gasses in the building process than concrete production, mass timber construction is a greener alternative to standard high rise construction. In the current construction climate (particularly in places such as Portland), green building credentials are a fantastic selling point.

For now, the singular criticism against mass timber construction is in regards to fire safety. Detractors are concerned that high rise buildings framed with wood are more susceptible to fire damage than their concrete/steel counterparts. However, given that ass mass timber buildings must pass and adhere to the same fire codes as traditional buildings, there isn't an elevated fire danger.

The literal rise in mass timber buildings will be an interesting trend to follow in the coming years. As new projects are completed and these buildings become increasingly commonplace, expect a continued surge in their construction.

Home & Garden Show Season Is Here - Keep Floors Clean and Protected With Shoe Covers and Floor Protection

In the coming months, most homebuilding associations and new developments will be holding their annual tour of homes events. These events are designed to showcase new properties, remodels to existing properties, and to display the work of builders, contractors, and tradesmen.

While the point of these events are to draw people into homes, unfortunately that also leaves floors susceptible to being dirtied and damaged. Many builders in our local homebuilding association (Central Oregon Builders Association) rely on our shoe covers and floor coverings to keep their homes flawless and showroom ready.

Our Polypropylene (cloth) shoe covers are a popular floor protection for home and garden shows. These one-time use soft cloth based shoe covers are a quick and easy way to prevent dirt from being tracked into homes. The soft cloth material features additional materials on the sole in order to provide traction on slippery hardwood floors. Shoe covers are among the cheapest and simplest ways to prevent floor damage. We regularly provide these shoe covers to garden show associations, who then hand them out to patrons as they enter every property.

Surface Liner Vapor Floor Protection
Our most popular floor protection product for home showcases is our Surface Liner Vapor. Each roll of Surface Liner Vapor floor protection offers a slight adhesive tack, keeping the protection anchored to the floor without using any aggressive adhesives. Airy and soft to the touch, Surface Liner Vapor is a great way to prevent scratches and nicks in hardwood, tile, and cement floors. Due to its slight adhesive properties, Surface Liner Vapor is the ideal way to protect hardwood stairs.

To learn more about floor protection, or about any other surface protection needs you may have during home showcase season, email us at sales@buildsitepro.com or visit our website www.buildsitepro.com

Homebuilder Confidence Remains High

On the heels of numerous positive predictions for residential homebuilding's 2017 outlook, a new midyear metric was released that shows homebuilding confidence remains high. Prior to January, forecasts for building materials and homebuilding were very optimistic and positive. Growth rates as high as 10% were forecast for 2017 residential homebuilding.

For now, it seems as if the positive outlook is manifesting itself in reality. Homebuilders are confident that the residential market will remain lucrative. The Housing Market Index continued to rise this month, reaching a measure of 70 (anything over 50 is positive, so 70 is a very optimistic level).

So far this year, the apparent barriers to new homebuilding are a lack of trained labor and the potential for interest rate increases. The need for trained construction workers has been well-documented, and many builders feel that struggling to hire workers is hampering their ability to build. Further, projected interest rate increases and rising home loan rates will add a bit of cost to home ownership. Though, these two factors haven't seemed to slow homebuilding much. In all, residential homebuilding looks great this year.

Toilet Sheath - Cost Effective Finish Protection

For years custom homebuilders, giant commercial developers, and home contractors have relied on our Toilet Sheath toilet covers to keep fixtures on their project clean and most importantly unused.


The Toilet Sheath is a temporary plastic cover that attaches to the base of a fixture with a drawstring.

We Have All-New Floor Protection In Stock Now!

We have given numerous updated about Ram Board Plus floor protection, and now we're all stocked with pallets of it ready to ship same-day. However, we're also now carrying another new floor protection in our Bend warehouse...

Orange Coverguard being used by one of our customers on a Texas hospital project
We've just received our first shipment of Orange CoverGuard. Measuring 36" wide by 180' long, new Orange CoverGuard is a non-flame resistant alternative to standard CoverGuard. The benefit of losing its flame retardant properties is that it is offered at a lower cost than standard CoverGuard.

CoverGuard is made from a diamond-plated plastic that stands up to machine traffic, foot traffic, impact damage, and is generally an extremely tough material to damage. CoverGuard is slip-resistant due to it's diamond texture, and it is easily to unroll and lay flat on floors. It is a fantastic surface protection solution for commercial projects, and it can be cut down to become more versatile as well. For example, a regular customer placed an order for three rolls that he will be modifying to protect stairs at a high end car dealership remodel project.

Due to this reduced price, we list it as CoverGuard Economy on our website. Visit our website www.buildsitepro.com to learn more about floor protection, and any other finish protection products.

Springtime Means Sales Trips For Builders Site Protection

Spring is about here and that means we're back on the road for outside sales work. Having just returned from a sales trip to Phoenix, Pat, our owner, is off to her usual stops in Portland and Seattle to meet with commercial and residential builders and to showcase some of our latest product offerings.

Seattle's urban building boom is in full swing
Later this Spring we're also planning on making a stop in the Bay-area to catch up with repeat customers and to search for new ones (and to hopefully close the deal to protect doors in Apple's new Silicon Valley HQ!). Later in the summer, the annual sales trip to San Diego is in order as well. Other cities we're looking to visit are Denver, Las Vegas, and another trip to Boise.

The West Coast is where the greatest number of our regular customers lie, so that's generally where we focus our business travels. However, if you have any recommendations or would be interested in scheduling a meeting, let us know by contacting us at sales@buildsitepro.com or through the "contact us" feature on our website www.buildsitepro.com

Introducing All-New Ram Board Plus

We're excited to introduce a new product to our line, Ram Board Plus. Ram Board Plus features an adhesive strip that allows extremely quick and easy installation for indoor and outdoor settings. Installation time can be cut by as much as 40%, all while providing the tough and cost-effective protection RamBoard has always been known for.

The added tape is extremely helpful for applying Ram Board to countertops, walls, and other non-floor surfaces. So far, the limited feedback we have received is very positive, due to its ease of application. A local Central Oregon builder told us the built-in adhesive will make install far easier on his project's countertops.

Ram Board Plus is offered in the same size as standard Ram Board, 38" x 100 ft, and is sold for $68.99/roll. Visit our website www.buildsitepro.com or email us at sales@buildsitepro.com to receive product samples or to learn more about floor protection.

Doors, Jambs, and Thresholds - Keep These Damage-Prone Finishes Spotless With A Surface Protection System

Whether it be home improvement, remodel, or ground-up construction, come the finish stages of the project, doors, jambs, and thresholds all experience lots of use. Workers and materials are constantly passing through doorways, leaving expensive and difficult to repair finishes exposed to damage. Even supplies as small as extension cords can scuff and damage hardwood door jambs. Boots, carts, and tools are passing over thresholds, which take heaps of use before any project is completed. Though doors are hung very late in the building process, fixing any damage to them is a tremendously costly and difficult process.

DoorGuard, Ram Jamb, and UV Threshold Tape. Three affordable items are all it takes to prevent any frustrating damage to interior and exterior entryways.

After framing and flooring work, thresholds are one of the first finish pieces installed. As such, they're at risk of extensive damage, because they experience so much use, even when a door hasn't been installed. Thresholds can quickly be covered to keep them damage-free. UV Threshold Tape is the industry standard for threshold protection. Thick, strong, and UV-resistant, UV Threshold tape can keep a threshold or trim safe for 180 days. See below for a comprehensive overview of UV Threshold Tape.



With thresholds covered, jambs are the next most likely to be damaged among this group. Fortunately, protecting a jamb is the quickest and easiest of all. Using RamJamb, a reusable cover can be snapped around any sized jamb in seconds. RamJamb holds itself in place by it's own shape (no adhesives), and as such is can be used indefinitely.

Finally, DoorGuard is a BC-flute board cover that provides a temporary barrier against dust and debris damage to hung doors. DoorGuard quickly attaches with tailored elastic bands, and allow the door to remain in use while DoorGuard is installed. Affordable, and attached in less than thirty seconds, DoorGuard is a great way to prevent any door-related headaches during the building process.

With three quick steps, an entire entryway can be comprehensively protected from damage. These three products are among our bestsellers, and local builders have regularly been using them for years.

Fight Jobsite Dust With ZipWall

Construction projects can be a messy thing. Exposure to the elements, foot traffic, tool use, and proximity to unpaved roads and driveways all generate huge amounts of dust and debris. Homebuyers  and homeowners can often be taken aback by all of the dirty clutter when checking the progress of their projects. While a construction project will never be spotless, it doesn't have to be messy, either.

ZipWall is the industry standard for Dust Containment
Using ZipWall's systems of poles, zippers, and temporary doors, jobsite dust can be nearly eliminated. Ideal for office and residential settings, local homebuilders regularly stop in to pick up ZipWall products due to their effectiveness and their ease of use. The Zip-poles have a spring loaded quick telescoping system to easily expand to the height or a ceiling. Temporary doors use mild adhesive tape to stay in place, and the zippers quickly attach to plastic sheeting with an adhesive backing. ZipWall makes using plastic sheeting to control dust extremely quick and hassle-free.

In addition to ZipWall, we carry an extensive line of dust control solutions. Shoe covers, walk-off mats, vent covers, negative air machines, and more can be found on our website. To learn more about ZipWall, or any other Dust Control products, email us at sales@buildsitepro.com, call us at 541-633-7793, or visit our website www.buildsitepro.com

The Living Building Challenge - The Forefront Of Green Building Is Here In Bend

A new home in Bend, Oregon - where we're located - has officially been the first single family home in the country to meet the rigorous Living Building Challenge (LBC) standards. Going far beyond LEED Platinum, the LBC standards are effectively the gold standards of green building.



The Living Building Challenge (LBC) is a set of rigorous standards designed to be at the forefront of technology and green building innovation. The LBC has been set up to push development of these building technologies in the hope that they will become mainstream and cost-effective in the near future. Whereas LEED standards attempt to slowly bring mainstream buildings towards a greener composition, LBC attempts to dramatically push innovation for a very small number of structures, becoming an exercises in envelope-pushing engineering, architecture, and design.

This house - named Desert Rain - must be a net producer of energy and water, and cannot rely on any outside sewer services. Using solar and rainwater collection, the structure is completely self sustaining, without any impact on the environment. "Greywater" from showers and sinks is naturally filtered under the house without the use of chemicals, essentially using natural permeation to clean and recycle water. To cut down on the impact of material transport, all materials must come from within 1,500 miles, one-third of which must originate from within 300 miles of the structure. Stucco and interior walls were made from a local combination of sand, lime, and clay, avoiding drywall and other manufactured products.



As one would expect, the unorthodox building process for this 5,000 sqft house did come at a high price. Totalling $3.48 million, Desert Rain boasts a $638/sqft cost. For now, Desert Rain exists as an monument of what is possible, and what will become the new normal decades from now. To learn more about the Desert Rain project, check out OPB's website here.

We've Updated & Improved Our Carpet, Floor, and Countertop Films

Drawing upon years of feedback from builders, commercial and residential alike, we have worked with a new manufacturer to improve our popular line of films. The new films feature an adhesive that initially sticks better than the old formulation, and also peels easily and more cleanly after the film has been used.

Prices for the new and improved film have remained unchanged, though sizing is a bit different. Visit the films page of our website to see the new films. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding any of our products, email us at sales@buildsitepro.com, or call us at 541-633-7793.

2017's Construction Forecast Looks Encouraging

New year, new project starts. A lot of new project starts. Construction projects are expected to increase 5% in 2017, which is a welcome development as 2016's new starts lagged sorely behind expectations - a measly 1% increase was seen in 2016.

Dodge Data & Analytics also expects to see large gains in single family homebuilding, commercial development, and institutional building. Unfortunately, multifamily development is expected to stagnate, as will utilities construction.

Interestingly, both 2015's and 2016's totals were skewed by only a handful of massive projects that kicked off in 2015, effectively acting as enormous outliers and altering both years. 2017 is expected to be far more "normal" in the sense that totals will not be skewed by a few projects (such as 2015's $9 billion natural gas terminal project in Texas). This is also in part responsible for the decline in energy/utilities related building expected this year. 2015's enormous projects are coming on-line, thus driving down the need for new construction in those industries.

While none of the new projects announced this year will need our products and services for some time, we remain excited about the positive prospects that 2017's project starts may bring. Here's to a great 2017!
