Description
On this episode of The Build Show Podcast, Matt and Steve Baczek team up to mull over a very important question: how do we design a good quality, efficient, durable house that’s going to be long lasting – right from the start?
As a builder, Matt often gets plans in various stages of completion, sometimes fully finished plans that cause him to wonder how he’s going to build in a way that keeps clients out of trouble. Whether that's water management, energy efficiency, durability, or comfort, he’s seen plenty of plans that are not well thought out and must put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Steve adds his perspective as an architect, noting that building a house comes with thousands of decisions, some of them assumed, but everything has to be planned out. The question he likes to as homeowners is: who do you want to do that planning?
The two will chat about previous experiences and best practices that they’ve learned along the way.

Episode 9: the Litmus Test for a Well-Build Home: This week I’m going to be talking about a really important topic, that not all podcasters or builders might mention as we don’t want it to come across the wrong way. However, it’s super important which is why I’ve decided to go there. Today we’re talking all about build quality and what the standard Litmus test should be for a good vs. a not-so-good build and if this same test could be used to assess if someone is a good builder or not, too. The latter of which might help some of you students, young professionals and consumers out there make the right choices. Sponsored by Builder’s First Source, tune into today’s episode of the Build Show where I’ll be discussing three things that define a great build…in my opinion anyway. by The Build Show Podcast
