Shear Wall 101 with Steve Baczek | Best of The Build Show
In this episode of the Best of the Build Show, Matt introduces one of his favorite topics—framing and the structural role of shear walls—but it’s architect and longtime Build Show contributor Steve Baczek who takes the lead.

This 101-level session is packed with practical insights for anyone looking to balance architectural vision with structural integrity.
