Can Reclaimed Materials Build a High-Performance Home?


Build Show Live 2026 Registration
Travis Brungardt is joined by Joe Cook, Co-Owner of Catalyst Construction, and Randy Williams from Green Building Advisor to explore how reclaimed materials can be incorporated into a high-performance home. Touring an active project, they discuss the opportunities and challenges of reusing structural steel, reclaimed lumber, and insulation while maintaining durability, building science principles, and code compliance. The conversation focuses on evaluating risk, verifying structural performance, and adapting assemblies to work with salvaged materials without compromising long-term performance. Throughout the project, Travis, Joe, and Randy examine how thoughtful planning allows reclaimed building materials to become part of a resilient, energy-efficient home.
