They have been in business for 30 years. Diamond Pier Foundation Systems is an inclined pin pile technology that spreads the load over greater area of surface up to about 5 ½ feet of ground. It is structurally rated and code compliant with the International Code Council. It can be used commercially for townhouses and bridges and residentially for decks and accessibility ramps. This is a heavy duty foundation that can be installed quickly. It minimizes the impact on the environment. You can install it with hand tools. It minimizes excavation area, soil disruption, and water flow, the need for heavy machinery, and damage to vegetation. It requires very little concrete. It is resilient to seismic activity. They do provide a lifetime warranty covering parts & labor. It is not used in a very rocky soil but is ideal for other types of soil. It can be used if there are a few rocks or boulders. It is installed in minutes with pins that are inserted into a high strength concrete base before the load is built on it. The pins have caps so that inspectors can check the length. They do provide an ICC-ES Evaluation Report which is helpful for the city to be able to inspect it. For more information, check out Meetings MEMBERSHIP MEETING OCTOBER 18TH 6:30 P.M.

3 ANGI Homeservices Inc. This summer the parent company, IAC, of Home Advisor announced they will finalize the purchase of Angie s List for $500,000,000 in the fourth quarter. A year and a half ago the offer was $512,000,000. Both have reputable businesses based on delivering homeowners and home service professionals amazing value. Angie s list is a 20 year Indianapolis based pioneering business review company. It was founded by Angie Hicks. It was based on people paying a monthly subscription fee of over $30 for access to reports and ratings of service providers in hundreds of categories. The subscription also included a monthly magazine. In the beginning, people reviewed providers online and through phone calls. By 2002, Angie s List had over 100,000 subscribers, 65 employees and $5,000,000 in revenue. On 2014, it grew to 2,000 employees and planned a $40,000,000 expansion. But people began to turn to free review sites ranging like Home Advisor. In 2015, the expansion was canceled and in 2016, Angie s List dropped it s subscription requirement for customers. They lost 7.9 million dollars. Home Advisor then opened an office in Indianapolis and hired former Angie s List employees. Home Advisor is free to the potential customer and consumers answer a series of detailed questions before a list of ideal contractors pops up. Home Advisor offers leads that cost from $20-$80 to the contractor. Businesses undergo a rigorous background check also. Home Advisor gives the opportunity to leave reviews, ratings, advice, and comments. By combining the recognizable brand, Angie s List with the strength of Home Advisor should be a growth opportunity of offering remodelers more advertising options, exposure to homeowners, and increase the market and online conversions. They plan to consolidate and form a viable company to elevate home services experiences for an even broader base of customers. Page 3
