Builders, Budgets, and Beers · How Building Science Reduces Costly Callbacks with Sam Myers · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

Instead of kind of owning the whole project.

I mean, I think that's another thing I see that kind of differentiates some successful builders versus others.

It's like, don't just blame your subs.

Like, this is your project.

Your name is on this house.

So maybe try to get a better understanding of the physics of how all of this is supposed to work.

And it's really...

It's really not that hard.

We're keeping the inside out.

We're keeping the outside out, the inside in.

But we still need a measured amount of fresh air coming in and still air leaving.

And we need to make sure that everything is sized properly so that the HVAC system isn't just keeping us cool or warm.

It's also removing humidity when we don't need it and keeping in humidity when we do want it in the winter.

So...

Nick, where I live in the southeast is, I'm in Wilmington, North Carolina, so we get all four seasons and humidity.

So building houses here to accommodate all of those scenarios, it's tough.

But if you do everything by the book, get a tight envelope, measure it along the way, do your manual J correctly and get ventilation, I mean, there's no reason why that house isn't going to work.

Totally.

Yeah, but a lot of home builders, they just don't know this stuff because they've never been forced to learn it.

And a lot of the times they get a negative association with this kind of stuff because, oh, well, the code makes me do this.
