Why Every Custom Builder Needs a Building Science Consultant | Build Show Podcast Ep. 222
On this episode of the Build Show podcast, host Matt Risinger sits down with James Bourget from RDH Building Science to unpack what a building science consultant actually does. Rather than focusing on litigation and failure investigation, the conversation centers on bringing consultants in early to prevent problems before they start. They cover building enclosures as systems, condensation and dew point analysis, climate-specific design strategies, and how risk management benefits both builders and homeowners. The discussion also touches on wildfire-resistant window testing, including tempered glass and frame performance under fire conditions.
