    Great Content
    Very good production quality and guests
  • thoughtful design
    Great podcast!
    As an conscientious interior designer who thoroughly thinks through helping clients with their residential and commercial build projects, I have learned SO much from this series (pod casts and videos) on how building science is vital to our overall comfort, health and well being - and equally as important to our environment! Just wish this methodology was standard everywhere!
  • Vinci smiles
    Must listen for Architectural Designers
    Great insight & important deep dives - just stumbled on it & have forwarded it to builders I work with as well. Wish it was a zoom lesson so I could ask questions in real time!
  • Tport89
    Many thanks
    Matt, thanks for all the technical info. As a Homeowner that will serve as a GC on our upcoming small cabin build in northern Michigan, I appreciate all the insider info I can get.
  • Jason Booze
    Top Notch
    Just found this podcast recently. I work in the general construction trade (20+ years). This has opened me up to concepts and products that strive for best practice status that I haven’t heard of before. It seems like everyone involved (including guests) deeply care about what they do and offer. That deeply resonates with me. I really appreciate what you guys are doing on Build and I hope it keeps going and growing!
  • Frankyy831
    Great podcast
    Amazing podcast lots of knowledge for anyone in the trades at every level thank you for time and knowledge to the whole team
  • Spemerick
    Moldings and Trim
    This episode was very off putting. Expressing derision for and making fun of hollow core doors or other common interior architectural features is insulting to the vast majority of homeowners who go can’t afford high-end multipart solid wood base, crown and casing and custom milled solid core doors throughout. I’ve deleted the channel.
  • Qwertyyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbn
    Can’t get enough!
    Amazing resource. Thank you to Matt and the whole Build Show team for all of this content. This podcast and the videos on Build Show Network have been instrumental in my education as a builder. @brooksrogersbuilds on Instagram

    Phenomenal Podcast - A Must Listen!!!
    Matt Risinger and his entire team of partners, employees, and guests are an incredibly honorable group of men and women dedicated to doing the right thing every day to better the standards of building here in the US. I have been, and remain, so impressed with the quality of their content…it is an absolute joy to listen to. Cannot recommend highly enough for builders, remodelers, homeowners, and anyone else involved in the construction industry!!!
  • RPS90483
    Great build podcast
    Always enjoy the topics. One minor note to Matt, there’s a high-pitched hiss on your mic line. Might help to clean up the recording or find source of hiss.
  • jeff050218
    Can’t beat it!

  • MTFrazier
    Great source of builder knowledge
    Matt and the whole Build Show community produce incredible content for the AEC industry! This podcast is just another great format to learn from the pros.
  • DanB301
    Great info
    I’m not a builder but it is nice to hear the newest science and techniques in home building.
  • CORD & HPPF
    Builder/Remodeler
    The Build Show is THE best way to stay on top of the latest in Building Science and Building Ethics! As a high end custom remodeling contractor for the past 8 years, who lives and works in one of the most demanding markets in America (Bend, OR), I have had a first hand view of how poorly homes have been built, and sadly, are still built. It can and should be done better. I started my own company to have an opportunity to do things better, and change the way people perceive contractors. And now I’m starting a custom building company as well. Thanks to Matt, and Company, I have changed the way I approach every job, every situation, and every client. The Build Show Podcast/Network is a must listen for anyone in the trades and anyone who owns a home.
  • Scottyw08
    Awesome Building Science Podcast
    The Build Show is a must-listen podcast for any homeowner looking to deepen their understanding of building science and construction. As a non-contractor who is passionate about learning the ins and outs of the building process, this podcast is a treasure trove of valuable insights and knowledge.
  • Robcaviness
    Shows got the wrong title
    I don’t how much someone can talk about “sealing” a house. I think it maybe even a case of obsession or OCD. I don’t think anyone wants to hear people talk about “penetrations” or air leaks around electrical outlets this much. Hmmm or maybe these guys are in the business of selling air handlers and dehumidifiers to keep their air tight houses from having explosions of mold blooms. And I’m the dumb one for not seeing their marketing strategy….
  • Bliss and Grit
    Wonderful education
    I’m not a contractor or professional, I’m a homeowner who had mold exposure and is looking to create a healthy home. Some things may go over my head, but I’m so appreciative of this free education on what I should be looking for. Hiring consultants adds up. The Build Show helps me understand the basics. Thank you for your work!
  • hlslyskggskhskhzkgs

    Matt is my go to guy for anything building related. He’s the first person I look up when I need to know something and he usually has the answers. So it was no surprise to me when I started listening to his podcast I got even more value and insights as I did watching his YouTube videos!

  • btruppel
    Matt delivers with the knowledge
    I started following Matt about 6 years ago on his Youtube channel, and it quickly became one of my favorite channels. This podcast “builds” on that platform and demonstrates his passion as a builder to educate people on how we should be building. We need more builders like Matt to educate the public into understanding that a quality build starts at the foundation and is more than just expensive granite and fancy lighting. Thank you Matt for all that you do for the industry.
