We listened. A great number of you clamored for
us to revive our printed newsletter, so here it is. I hope
you all enjoy it. We know that a printed newsletter is a
valuable communication tool for the HBA. The printed
newsletter is not without a price, however. So in order
for our newsletter to survive, our membership must be
willing to buy and sell ads. I would be remiss if I didn’t
thank Ty Cheek of Square One Construction and Jay
Beeson of Mark III Properties for bringing the printed
newsletter back to life. Please join their support of the
newsletter by buying or selling an advertisement. Our
newsletter is a targeted, cost-effective way to reach
builders and associate members. Contact the office for
affordable rates.
If you did not attend the March General
Membership Meeting at the Kohler plant, you missed
a great evening. The plant tours were very exciting. We
were able to see state-of-the-art robotics as well as the
more labor-intensive traditional casting. The Kohler
employees were the consummate host. In addition
to the tour, we were entertained with the traditional
Kohler meal of beer, brats and burgers. A highlight of
the evening was reuniting with the HBA’s old friend,
Letter From Mike Kohler!
Our next meeting is being hosted by
the HBA President
DewSouth on Monday, April 13, 2009. Please join
us at their impressive, European-style development,
The Vineyards in Boiling Springs. We look forward to
Manning Lynch another exciting evening of opportunities with friends
and business associates!

NATURAL GAS
clean. efficient. reliable.
clean
Using natural gas for water heating creates less than half
the carbon dioxide emissions as using electricity would.
efficient
From energy source to end-user, a natural gas water
heater uses half as much energy as comparable electric
models; natural gas high-efficiency furnaces and
programmable thermostats help conserve energy while
keeping you comfortable and warm.
reliable
When the lights go out, you can still rely on natural gas
for many of your appliance needs.

What Is A “Good” Certificate of Insurance?
Following is a checklist of items you should note when accepting a COI. They are a result of recent court decisions and
not originally required by the insurance industry:
1. Date: The date should correspond with the date the Certificate of Insurance was requested by you. Request
a new COI for each new job. Also, agents often keep a log of Certificate Holders and routinely mail new
certificates at the time the policy is renewed.
2. Producer: This should be the complete name and address of the agent that issued the Certificate of Insurance.
It should include their telephone number and fax number as well.
3. Insured: The name of the insured should match the subcontractor’s name. It will also include the insured’s
address as well.
4. Insurers Affording Coverage: A carriers name should appear and correspond with the Insurer Letter (A,B,
etc) shown on the far right hand column for Workers Compensation and Employers’ Liability Coverage.
5. Workers Compensation and Employers Liability: If any principals are excluded from coverage it should be
marked “Y” or “Yes” and/or be described under Description of Operations, etal. The policy number should
be shown. If this is shown as “Binder” you need to follow up with the Agent to obtain a revised Certificate
showing the policy number. Clearly stated policy effective and expiration dates should always be shown.
Employer Liability Limits should always be shown as well.
6. Description of Operations/Locations/etal: This section should be used to state if any subcontractor
principals are excluded from coverage. It is also used to state if a Waiver of Subrogation applies complete
with all the details of the specific project.
7. Certificate Holder: This should be your complete name and address. Most agents will also show your fax
number.
8. Authorized Representative: All Certificates of Insurance issued by an agency must be signed by a licensed
agent.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!!!!
Do not allow a subcontractor to perform work for you until you have a valid Certificate of Insurance in hand!
A new COI must be requested from a sub at the start of every new job. Jobs for the same type of work but at different locations
(different lots) require COI’s for each location unless you have a written contract specifying all locations in the contract.
Accept COI’s ONLY FROM YOUR SUBCONTRACTOR’S INSURANCE AGENT. Do not accept a COI directly from your
subcontractor.
If there is any appearance of alteration of the Certificate of Insurance-different Font Type, obvious white out and retyping of
information, please contact the Insurance Agent listed on the Certificate of Insurance immediately for verification. Write down the
person name you talked to and date.
If you know the Certificate of Insurance presented is not valid, it is deemed to be Insurance Fraud and should be reported to the
Attorney General’s Office for Investigation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the SCHBSIF at 803-771-0566 or 800-678-8178.
