UnBuild It Podcast

THE GOOD news: our homebuilding industry is jam-packed with new materials, new techniques, and new systems, and it’s so easy to get information online in an instant. THE BAD news: How do we know what we can trust, what will work, and under what conditions? Where do we turn to separate the spin-and-hype from the true-and-square? We’ve got you covered! The UnBuild It Podcast is an industry-leading opportunity to get good information. UnBuild It podcast is a three-member team – Peter Yost, Building Scientist; Jake Bruton, Builder, and Remodeler; and Steven Baczek, Architect. We are nationally recognized industry leaders: Jake as a homebuilder, Steve as an architect, and Peter as a building scientist. You can find us at leading homebuilding industry events, in top-notch publications, and online media outlets. We believe that solid industry-related information has four key ingredients;RELEVANCE: You need insight on your job site. Jake, Steve, and Peter are in the field regularly doing what we strive to do. We walk the walk – then talk about the walk. We have worked together long enough to build on each other’s expertise and not take ourselves too seriously. We are among the best at taking what may seem like complicated concepts, breaking them down, and turning them into job-site-ready breakthroughs.ACCURACY: Jake is often quoted as saying, “Trust but Validate.” We don’t ask you to be the bleeding, leading edge; we develop trusted solutions based on our work in the field, pushing each other to practice what we preach. Our accuracy comes out of triangulation: building, design, and performance.UTILITY: We guarantee that each podcast episode will move you from all ears to all action. Our information is born from our work. We pride ourselves on delivering information you can use the same day you listen to an episode. CAMARADERIE: We work together because we love homebuilding, hitting the airwaves, and humor. We are not doing our job if you are not enjoying learning with us during each episode.

Love the banter and the knowledge gained is astounding!!

Pretty negative on other creators when Jake doesn’t agree that there could be another way. It’s a post frame because it’s not built with poles. Way to be open minded. Those buildings are easily assembled by 2 guys and 1 machine. They can be engineered to meet desired local loads. Maybe educate yourself on how people are building homes with post frame buildings.
Tone down the banter

A lot of great content. Unfortunately, I have to wait through five minutes of nonsense banter to get to it. Like my wife tells me you’re not a comedian don’t make jokes. I think it would be better served respecting peoples time and getting to the heart of the matter more quickly. Hope this helps. Best of luck in the future.
Quick witted and informative!

I love listening to the guys! They have resparked my insatiable appetite for building science. Back in 2008... I know Jake was still a youngin :) - haha!, some articles in a Fine Homebuilding magazine (Energy Smart Homes) spoke to building science that immediately sparked my desire to studying it more. Fast forward to 2024, the recession hit real estate, then eventually Covid, and for the past couple of years I have listened to these guys as if they were writing the articles "live" in the magazine I still have today. These guys are amazing, their passion for passing on the knowledge is very evident in each podcast!
