In this episode of The Build Show, Travis tackles a topic that impacts every jobsite but often goes overlooked: construction waste—both material and procedural. Travis dives into how small decisions on-site can lead to significant financial waste, such as misusing structural lumber for cutting boards or unnecessarily removing installed components like helical piles. Sharing real-world examples, he emphasizes the importance of mindful material use, respect for fellow tradespeople’s work, and ultimately, stewardship of the client's resources. From thoughtful framing techniques to protecting finished surfaces with smart reuse of scrap, Travis challenges builders to rethink waste and elevate their on-site practices. Tune in for a candid, practical look at how better management leads to better building. Stay connected with Travis on Instagram and watch full episodes through the links below.
