Matt Risinger takes a deep dive into the new Build HD Standard and explains why roof overhangs, roof pitch, and water management matter so much for building durable, high-performance homes. Using lessons from real construction failures, building science research, and decades of experience, Matt breaks down why homes in wetter climates need more protection from rain—and why flat roofs and minimal overhangs can create expensive moisture problems. He also explains how the Build HD Standard goes beyond code with 89 additional requirements designed to improve durability, resilience, and long-term performance. If you’re a builder, architect, contractor, or homeowner interested in modern architecture, roof design, waterproofing, moisture management, building science, and high-performance construction, this episode shows how thoughtful design can help a home last for generations.
