Episode 6: Disruptions in the Building Supply Chain Matt Risinger 2024-03-16 | In this episode of the Build Show podcast, host Matt Risinger delves into the current supply chain disruptions affecting the construction industry with special guests Les, the president of Sashco, and Nathan, a chemist from Sashco. With over 80 years of history, Sashco is known for brands like Big Stretch and Lexel.The conversation starts with a discussion on the reasons behind the supply chain disruptions, including the unprecedented demand in the construction industry and other unforeseen issues. Les and Nathan explain the challenges they've faced, from raw material shortages to shipping delays, exacerbated by the recent Texas freeze.Despite these challenges, Sashco's team has been working tirelessly to find alternative suppliers and manage the limited allocations they receive. They highlight the impact of these disruptions on the availability of products like sealants and the potential for widespread shortages.Matt also shares anecdotes about the scarcity of construction materials, like drywall mud, illustrating the broader challenges faced by the industry. He emphasizes the importance of understanding different sealant technologies to navigate potential product substitutions.Nathan breaks down the differences between reactive and evaporative sealants, explaining how each type cures and their respective properties. Reactive sealants cure by reacting with atmospheric moisture, resulting in a harder finish that may be less flexible. Evaporative sealants, on the other hand, dry through the evaporation of water or solvent, offering a more flexible finish that's easier to apply.Throughout the episode, Les and Nathan provide valuable insights into the complexities of the construction supply chain and offer practical advice for contractors and builders facing product shortages.

Episode 10: Balancing the Cost vs Performance Aspects on a Build Matt Risinger 2024-03-16 | Welcome to another episode of the Build Show podcast! I'm Matt Risinger, a builder based in Austin, Texas. On this podcast, we dive deep into all things building, from building science to the business of building. Today, I'm joined by a special guest, Steve, who is the COO of my building company. Together, we're discussing a crucial topic: balancing the cost and performance aspects of a house.This episode is sponsored by Builder First Source, now combined with BMC, offering over 500 locations serving builders and remodelers throughout the continental United States. As a longtime customer, I highly recommend reaching out to them for all your building material needs.In this episode, Steve and I share insights from our years of experience in the building industry. We discuss the importance of making smart decisions that balance cost-effectiveness with high performance, particularly focusing on energy efficiency. Steve shares his experience in building his own house, highlighting key areas where he prioritized performance without breaking the bank.One key aspect we touch on is the roofing system. Steve's house features a reflective roof with an air cavity underneath, helping to reduce heat gain and improve energy efficiency. He also invested in high-quality roofing materials that offer better durability and energy efficiency over time.When it comes to wall insulation, Steve opted for a cost-effective approach using damp blown cellulose, combined with a commercial-grade Tyvek wrap and blue foam board on the exterior. While he considered more expensive foam insulation, he decided to prioritize water intrusion prevention and achieved excellent results.In discussing the mechanical system, Steve focused on creating a tight building envelope with a conditioned attic space and hard, sealed metal ductwork. These choices not only enhance energy efficiency but also contribute to a more comfortable and healthy indoor environment.Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of finding the right balance between cost and performance in building. While it's tempting to chase perfection, especially in high-end homes, we believe that achieving around 95-97% perfection is a more practical and cost-effective approach for most homeowners.Join us as we explore these topics and more, offering valuable insights and practical tips for anyone involved in the building industry.

Episode 4 - All About Net Zero Homes Matt Risinger 2024-03-16 | In this episode of the Build Show podcast, host Matt Risinger explores the topic of Net Zero construction, challenging the notion of building solely to Net Zero standards. He defines Net Zero as a house that, over the course of a year, generates as much energy as it consumes, often achieved through solar panels. Matt argues for a more holistic approach, advocating for building to Net Zero Energy capable or Net Zero Energy ready standards.Matt emphasizes the importance of prioritizing construction fundamentals, particularly addressing water-related issues, which can lead to both energy efficiency and improved indoor air quality. He highlights the role of waterproofing systems in preventing water damage and mold growth, ultimately contributing to a healthier living environment.While acknowledging the value of renewable energy sources like solar, Matt suggests that focusing on building an efficient, durable, and comfortable home should take precedence. He cautions against the overuse of the term "Net Zero," fearing that it may lose its meaning if not applied thoughtfully and comprehensively.Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Matt encourages builders and homeowners to consider the broader implications of Net Zero construction, aiming for homes that are not just energy-efficient, but also well-built and sustainable in the long term.Subscribe and follow my Podcast on Apple or Spotify!Apple: apple.co/32AOwgUSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3FXNg4XSign up for our twice-weekly newsletter:buildshownetwork.com/newsletterTo sponsor a video or advertise with us visit:buildproductions.comWant to learn more about building? http://thebuildshow.comThe Build Show on Instagram: instagram.com/thebuildshowHuge thanks to our Show sponsors Builders FirstSource, Polyguard, Huber, Rockwool & Viewrail for helping to make these videos possible!
