🇨🇦. Honestly, this one guys is one of the top 3 I have watched and listened too. "Letting your hair down" atmosphere. On so many levels, this was a very important, effective and educational presentation. I thank you ever so much for considering this topic. Once in a while having these presentations would be appreciated. Gratefully, Eastern Canada, Prince Edward Island.🙏🇨🇦
Happy Fathers Day. This is such an honest discussion about so much more than houses. We are building our kids to be resilient and creative, and eventually hard working.
Guys laser cutters are affordable - cardboard mockups can be cheap and easy.
Matt and Jake, one of the best videos and, wow, did it hit home this week. Living that stress you talked about. Very helpful to step back and keep it in perspective. There are so many lessons from the house that I am living right now with the Build Show Boston process. What is great to say is that, even with the challenges, it is 100% worth it. What I am hoping to come away from this project with is a set of ideas that could help to avoid or mitigate the majority of the challenges I have experienced. Some just have to be expected.
Thanks for a really important discussion and I am looking forward to my own one year reflections after we have moved in. One key element as a customer is a constant need to not only look at any issues with the team, but reflect on how I as the homeowner can be a better customer. That means figuring out how to communicate and foster better communications approaches. Proper communication, clarity, and making sure that there is a process that works to keep everyone working together, in concert, and with clear understanding of timelines is the foundation to a successful project. Your podcast also had perfect timing to make me step back and get new perspective on ways to do that more effectively.
Many thanks Matt as watching The Build Show SO many nights way too late was a major driver in deciding to have this house built, giving me the courage that it was possible and just enough confidence to move forward and start an amazing journey to learn more. Your team has been wonderful to work with and I hope that many people take even a small amount of what Steve is teaching in the series to encourage them. Of course, huge thanks to Steve, an amazing expert who loves to teach and encourage.
Matt, if the architect can provide the plan, a VR headset is a powerful way to TRULY understand how a space will look and feel. I am amazed at how effective and motivating VR walkthroughs are for clients.
Nice discussion, I totally agree about the cool aspect of generational homes. My Great Grandparents had a home built in 1927. My Grandmother was born in the back room of that house. My Great Grandmother lived out her life there, my Grandmother continues to live there.
I built my house where I’m at now in 1996 when my first of 4 children was 1 yo. They are all grown now and while the idea of building another smaller house is what we talk about, there’s something special about the home your family grows up in.
Use VR such as Apple Vision and ideally an infideck or ROVR that allows you to walk around a space.
I remember 30 years ag University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Used VR to walk their new building and asked for several pillars to be moved.
😅The architect thought they were making a fuss about nothing until they walked the site themselves and realised how badly they had messed up.
The latest apple headset is potentially very useful but the ideal is the use of a VR headset. Or a cave aka "volume" as used by the movie industry.
The unreal 5 engine & top end graphics cards can give you something very close what your plans actually show rather than what you think is being shown.
Good luck.
Enjoy that outdoor patio! Ecclesiastes 2:24! As the son of a builder, I saw the daily stresses from my father in my life but gained amazing insights and life confidence being on job sites. Reflections like these are very valuable if you can apply the lessons learned. Thanks for the content you're putting out there.
It's crazy how you can be so nonchalant about govt banning cheap and effective ways to survive the winter.
Perfect content.
Refreshing to hear you talk about real world “problems”
Wait, wait, wait! Did you do a follow up video on the energy usage of your new house. It's Huston, right? Did you notice any heat this year! Let's hear if all the extra work was worth it.
If you want to test the integrity of your marriage/relationship..build while you live projects will test it out. If you come out the other side in tact, you'll have a strong bond. My wife and I added onto our house as our family grew. Over 10 years we built 2 major renovations going from a 400 Sq ft 1 bedroom, to a 2,000 Sq ft, 2 story, 4 bed, 2 bath. Those were memorable but challenging times, but we still live in what we built since 1996.
Having an “Andrew” to do all the weird one-off custom pieces is a huge point. That guy was ME when I was building my house last year. I also did all the punch out and all the BS stuff so that my subs could keep moving. I STACKED subs as tight as I could to keep the job moving. Rarely was there a day where no one was on site. Breaking ground to move-in day was almost 9 months to the day. I also found myself being the “errand boy” getting miscellaneous stuff we forgot or needed so the subs wouldn’t leave for the day and head on to the next job. Oh crap we need 5 more 2x4’s or a stick of trim because we’re short and the lumber company can’t deliver til tomorrow… welp looks like I’m running to the lumber company or to Lowes or Home Depot. I swear I was probably at Lowes every single day during my build. My wife would bring our kids to the jobsite every day after school and they would play (they loved the giant dirt pile, “Mt Bob” out front). Towards the end of the build as the weather warmed up, we setup a patio table and chairs on the back porch and we would grub hub dinner almost every night to the jobsite. The Grub hub drivers got to know us well … and we spent a fortune on grubhub lol.
Matt, if my memory is correct you had some concerns with putting a black colored roof on your house. Would you make the same choice again
How important are 3D renderings like you see so often on the home improvement shows? Worth a modest extra cost
Plans. If we've never seen them before, we don't know what they are. Many probably go with your interpretation, verbal.
NO builder needs to be a marriage counselor when the couples take Relationship 101 classes. They WON'T need one. And those classes EVERYONE considering a relationship MUST enroll in. You don't know what you don't know and what you don't know can and usually will harm you and many others.
Good, morning Matt f
matt you have all the vids of building your house so that you have vids to give them to see details lol
No new natural gas what a joke!
Are your trades as unreliable as the ones I have encountered? "Yawn. I'll get to it soon."
First?
This video had almost no discussion about the "how to" of home building but probably my favorite video from you. The transparent and humble discussion about the impact to your families, budget overruns, underestimating timelines, etc. was the most valuable I can remember seeing. Good content! Now I have to go back to the drawing board and rethink my plan.
3:25 "Yeah, me too*" --> in the small letters section, the text behind the asterisk says: "...when the ERCOT network in Texas is up. But when it's down, is all GAS BABY!!!!! 🤘😎🤘
Just ribbing ya, for not going partially battery backup.
Great cast. I’ll be (finally…someday soon) building my own family house, and I have wondered what I am going to think AFTER it’s done and what I should be thinking of like that hopefully before.
Understanding architectural or engineering drawings is a lot more difficult than people think. Let's not forget that all of the people who are actually working with them have years of training. Normal people don't have that. Some might be better than others to understand them but you never can be 100% sure. That's why models or 3D CAD models are so important.
Excellent talk!
Which is why apples new vision headset is so useful even if it's rather expensive. Build a representation of what you want to in Unreal 5 & run it on good graphics hardware and it gives you a good idea what your going to get by giving you a really great UX user interface. Good luck
Absolutely. A builder guy has years and years of practicing cognitive spatial rotations and inversions, the ability to see things from different angles and then project build sequencings accordingly. Normal people cannot do that. You cannot ask that of them. CAD software mitigates this problem somewhat.
@@kevinhornbuckle which is why VR plus a simple open space are such a powerful User Interface.
There are several additional tools that help. For instance
Gloves that feedback touch sensation or existence of objects
Motion platforms that allow you to move but stay in one place
But equally that can be done by simply having a large space to move in & put objects in the correct position so they can be felt as if they are different objects in that space
Hi Matt, what was the company name you mentioned for the wood mini-barndominium?
Very amusing episode. I admire both of you for sharing the challenges you both had building your personal homes. I think watching the old Cary Grant movie “Mr. Blanding buys a house” should be required for all clients! If you haven’t seen it the plot is still relatable 75 years later. My wife and I just finished our build 2 months ago. There is a very interesting and predictable emotional roller coaster ride that seems consistent when I speak with other homeowners. There is initial excitement/anticipation followed by “I didn’t think I would have to make so many decisions “ to “why did we do this? Can we sell it now!” to the misery of moving to finally realizing the benefits of your new house six months later. Your podcasts and videos were invaluable for us in that we were at least somewhat educated regarding the basics. However, it proved to be a thorn in my builders back side every time I challenged his process!
You should interview some past clients that have built. I am sure there are great stories.
You should check out water-to-water heatpumps for hydronic heating and cooling from Waterfurnace with a 5.6+ COP which is better than most every other heat pump on market!
But Matt I’d be super interested to have you do an episode on light gauge steel framing for residential. Have seen companies that do all the bending on-site with a shipping container sized machine. Claim to be able to frame faster than wood at similar material + labor cost. LGS offers ability to do massive overhangs and unsupported sections although thermal bridging is a lot harder to avoid but ripe for exterior insulation! Seems like a better option for how to reliably build a 500 year structure especially in a storm zone.
Matt did you see that they are using foam glass for the repair of the I-95 over-pass that was destroyed from fire. You first made me aware of the product. They need to fill over 12 feet to temporary repair the road. The weight of stone or another fill would damage the buried sewer lines.
Guys, thank you so much for the video. I'm acting as the builder, on my 3500sqft house, first build. Decided to build in April of last year. No land, no house plan, no financing, and my wife is pushing me hard because we're now here a year later and not done. Thank you for making me feel ok about my delays and cost overruns on my first build.
Tell her to help out too.
Really enjoyable listening to you both on this one!
