There is a lost settle-
ment under the man-
made Lake Jocassee?
Only one building re-
mains under 300 feet
of water. The area
around the lake was a
�ilming location for
such movies as Deliver-
ance (1972) and The
Hunger Games (2012).

MessagefromthePresident:
Dear PCEA Members,
Happy Spring to all! Now
that we got through the grey and
wet months of winter, I am hopeful
that a sunny Spring will arrive so we
can get some work accomplished!. At
PCEA Upstate, the last couple of months
have been very busy and geared to-
wards achieving goals and objectives
towards fostering relationships with each other and as-
piring professionals . Our Board has been engaged with
establishing our chapter's "house rules" and setting up
committees to keep the membership engaged and our
organization run smoothly. Our Social Committee is cur-
rently planning an event in April to be announce later -
Stay Tuned!
Since our last newsletter, we tried out a new meet-
ing location and our speaker was Chris Fay from TPM,
who presented on TPM’s service offerings as well as BIM
and 3D printing. The presentation was so engaging that
we have decided to have them back for a more detailed
presentation in the future.
We are also pleased to announce that our website is back
live after months of hard work and dedication. Don't for-
get to utilize it for PCEA resources and registering for
events.
A special welcome to our new members and stu-
dents who have joined us recently. We are excited to have
you as part of our PCEA family. Don't forget, we will vote
for new of�icers at our April Meeting! I look forward to
seeing you all there.

shape-commercial-construction-in-2019/543978/
Is a trend really a trend if it repeats year after year? That's a valid concern in the
commercial construction world. For a competitive and fragmented industry that happens
to be resistant to some of the rapid evolution noted in others, participants and observers
are continually seeing some of the same glacial movements take center stage.
For example, the skilled labor shortage that has roiled the country isn't going any-
where anytime soon, despite increased educational and outreach programs. Automation,
drones and increasingly comprehensive technology solutions are in�iltrating projects one
jobsite at a time.
Offsite building
is becoming
more and more
prevalent to
guard against
safety hazards
on a worksite
and deliver pro-
jects faster,
cheaper and
more ef�iciently.
Mitigating risk is still possibly the most important aspect of a successful job.
But for those trying to glean more information about what's around the corner to
predict ways it could affect the safety of their workers and the health of their bottom lines,
it's important to pay more attention to the nuances of these big trends. Read on for the
seven biggest factors to watch this year.
1. Modular construction heights increasing
2. Technology supplementing, not replacing, human workers
3. Design-build's popularity growing
4. Building lean cutting waste in all forms
5. More drones taking �light
6. Private �irms leading high-speed rail projects
7. Gen Z growing up

By Ariel Turner—March 8, 2019—Upstate Business Journal
The historic former Burdette Hardware building at the corner of East
Curtis and South East Main streets, downtown Simpsonville, is getting new
life as a roughly 27,000-square-foot redeveloped restaurant and retail hub
that will include Sidewall Pizza and Kaffeine Coffee Shop and Roastery.
Currently partially occupied by �ive tenants, Burdette Central, as it’s
been renamed by developer and co-owner Four Oaks Property Group, will
house �ive additional
restaurants or retail
users, include an out-
door patio and beer
garden, and include
potential of�ice use in
the 9,600-square-foot
second �loor.
Sidewall Pizza,
which will be located
in a 1,800-square-
foot separate building on the property, and Kaffeine, in a 1,167-square-foot
space in the main building, are the �irst new tenants to execute leases for the
project, but the developers are actively seeking others. Available spaces in the
main building include a 2,226-square-foot restaurant space fronting East Cur-
tis Street, a 160-square-foot shipping container facing the planned beer gar-
den, and a 1,520-square-foot storefront on Main Street. The 9,600-square-
foot second �loor is available for single or multiple users.
Four Oaks Property Group entered the Greenville market about 18
months ago with the announcement of Gather GVL, the under-construction
shipping container outdoor food hall in Greenville’s West End planned to
open this June.
Burdette Central, designed by McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture, should
begin construction in 90 days and will include similar elements of the West
End family friendly gathering place.

“These days, businesses are becoming less and less isolated entities,
and more and more about community and neighborhood,” said Doug Cross,
Four Oaks Property Group managing principal. “We envision Burdette Central
as a hub … for businesses and for people to come together to socialize, enjoy
some great coffee, a delicious pizza, and contribute to the buzz and bustle
that is beginning to energize Simpsonville.”
Cross says downtown Simpsonville reminds him of downtown Travel-
ers Rest about 10
years ago. Since
then, Travelers
Rest has experi-
enced enormous
growth in both
residential and
commercial mar-
kets.
No one knows
that more than
Andy O’Mara, co-
owner of Sidewall Pizza that opened �irst in Travelers Rest before popping up
in several more locales. Monkey Wrench Smokehouse and Rocket Surgery,
both on Main Street in Travelers Rest, are also part of the Sidewall restaurant
family.
“There’s a lot happening down there,” he says. “We hope this will bring
more life downtown like we saw in Travelers Rest.”
Sidewall Pizza will take over the former free-standing upholstery shop on the
property and add on a 1,000-square-foot, fully enclosed patio as well as turn
the area behind the building into a green space, similar to the one behind
Monkey Wrench Smokehouse.
The turn-in from Main Street to the parking lot between Sidewall and
the main building will be closed off, creating designated parking for the de-
velopment accessed only from East Curtis Street with the option of closing it
off to vehicular traf�ic completely for larger outdoor gatherings and festivals.

Kaffeine Coffee Shop and Roastery will occupy a space on the back of
the building that opens onto the parking lot.
Owners Debbie and Steven Goss submitted this statement about the business:
“With a background in culinary and small batch specialty coffee, we
have been blessed with the opportunity to turn our coffee roasting business
into a coffee shop with onsite roasting. Carefully sourcing single origins, we
roast each batch with precision to provide a wonderfully consistent coffee ex-
perience.
“Kaffeine Coffee Shop and Roastery wishes to provide a welcoming and
relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy a variety of fresh roasted coffee
types and light fares. We contemplated many spaces in the Greenville area,
however, being a part of Burdette Central and downtown Simpsonville just
seemed a natural choice for us. Simpsonville has always given us this warm,
welcoming, homey vibe and we feel this is our chance to give back some of
that good feeling.”
Cross says he believes this project could be the cornerstone of the rede-
velopment in Simpsonville.
“We’re hoping to be in the forefront of a smartly planned economic
boom, the kind of boom that has invigorated many other Southeastern cities
and towns,” he said. “This new generation of entrepreneurs is looking to
grow strong businesses, but they’re also looking to help build strong, healthy
communities that contribute to the greater good. We expect Burdette Central
to be a part of that.”
