TIPS:
1. Build capital, even just a bit each year.
2. Budget straight talk.
3. In-person vs emailing budget docs.
4. Yes, you are a builder, but you need to be all about customer service.
5. Be accurate, not wishful, when costing any project.
6. Use your current job to hone the next job.
7. Market your own work rather than pay someone else to market it.
8. Hard to be selective, but in the long run, don't take a project cause you "have to."
9. Matt recognizes that every day, something "cool" is going on your job site, something we think is routine or uninteresting that you need to share or "feature" with your client.
10. Think and act like a building professional, not just a carpenter or a builder.
11. Sometimes you need to say no if your gut tells you the project and/or the client is a bust.
12. Find your niche; don't try to be everything to everybody.
13. You are more than just your business; don't let your business take over your life.

UnBuild It | Episode 142: Sage Advice for Young Architects
Seriously? These 3 clowns are sages? The discussion includes how to select the "right” school? How much should a school include building science compared to learning it on the job? And what about even just the 4 control layers? And all three of us stand squarely with Steve: if you want to design buildings, get out on the job site first, second, and last over the course of your prep and your years on the job. And then take what you learn at the site to improve the information transfer you accomplish with your drawings! Pete's Resources see the links below.
UnBuild It | Episode 143: Steep Cathedral /Vaulted Roofs & 6-sided Containment of Air-Permeable Insulation
A great discussion of a slew of choices for cathedral roof systems: solid-sawn rafters vs scissor truss, smart vapor retarder vs poly, optimal roof pitch(es), venting topside vs underneath vs unvented. And then the last 10 minutes cover a pesky building science phenomenon: what the heck is 6-sided containment of air-permeable insulation, and how does that connect to attic insulation R-values?
UnBuild It | Episode 141: BUILDING SCIENCE NAIVETE? You heard it here first!
All of us in the industry have projects--likely early in our careers--that we just either cringe about or wonder how the heck we got away with that one? The boys wax nostalgic about stories of their naivety over the years, turning them into valuable lessons learned. Actual building topics include spray foam, sill sealer, combining blower door & IR imaging, slab-on-grade insulation, and rainscreens.
UnBuild It | Episode 140: Window Installation: Can We Do Better?
Installing windows is getting more, not less, complicated. Pete lobbies for a different, more durable, and simpler gasket installation of windows. Steve and Jake weigh in with their insights and challenges to what Pete is up to. And a bonus: with Steve and Jake's help, Pete creates a new word: "Poninions" (Pete crashed the words opinions and positions, and his "friends" just could not let it slide).
UnBuild It | Episode 138: Finding a High-Performance Builder
Episode 138
If you can't find an experienced high-performance builder, then find an experienced builder who is willing to listen and learn! And add in time and money in the budget for that listening and learning. The same can go for your architect. But as Steve says: "SOMEONE has to drive the bus. Put on your big boy pants and move your business to the next level."
UnBuild It | Episode 137: Another Two-Fer: Thermally Broken Basement Slab-to-Superior Wall Panel Connection and Exterior Sump Pumps
Episode 137
All 3 UBIP podcasters are fond of the Superior Wall System, but connecting the extended "foot" of the foundation wall panel to the basement slab is a bit tricky. But not for Steve, but of course. And while sump pumps OUTSIDE are a mystery to Pete, Jake & Steve walk Pete through it. And a bonus: using gravel to spread the structural load and better manage the water load. All that and a "joke" by Steve to-just-die-for...
UnBuild It | Episode 136: We Want More! Permanent Wood Foundations & Career Pivotal Moments
Episode 136
Once again, we drive wood into the ground, but only in the context of Permanent Wood Foundations. No surprise that this discussion is all about water & drainage. And some episodes ago, the boys each shared pivotal moments in their building industry careers, concluding with a request for your pivotal moments. We got ONE, but what a doozy from our buddy Carl Seville, SK Collaborative.
