Houston Builder has some of the BEST BUILDING DETAILS I've ever seen

"Make a house that we would want to live in" is the motto for about 2% of Houston area builders.

I really love that Matt knows way more about these systems (ERV, etc) than he lets on initially when talking to other builders. He just asks the questions anyway. He really leaves room for others to shine and give different perspectives that way. Nicely done.

Now I just need to find a builder that will watch this video and be on board with all of these ideas.

Because of the build show, I had the plumber at my new construction put the vents out of the siding with no roof penetrations about a year ago. So thankful for this show and good information!

This is one of the best channels on YouTube and I really like the attention to detail and then I go to the bedroom and cry and cry because I live in a shack built in the 80's with crappy construction. Whaaaa!

DEFINITELY LOKE THIS DETAIL

so much real world details, thought processes documented. Man good job Ryan and Matt to capture here.

Matt u r so building the most Kick Butt build network! The details, the better builders building better homes begets an industry that is compelled to build smarter. Not to mention u inspire us DIY'R's to do the same.

I would LOVE to have a builder who thinks and builds like this. Truly amazing. Down where I live it’s all trash new homes 1M+ that are just thrown together with leaky cans and blown in fiberglass

Nice to see such high quality work in a spec house. Documenting the work in video is smart and, probably, necessary assuming the attendant higher price point. Always a plus to see people rising above mediocrity and doing good work.

Been following Ryan for a couple years, this is a dream collab video!

Running the dehumidifier on the ventilation system separately from the cooling really looks like a good idea in that sort of soggy climate.

I love his Instagram so I was excited to watch this when he mentioned it recently. This lived up to expectations for sure.

Nice build, but who wants those power lines running just above your head in the backyard?

Great job. This may be a spec house but guarantee it's a very high end build the buyer can afford these details.

I believe that is the best spec house build that I have seen. Great attention to key details that can only be addressed during the build. Yes, it's a little bit more money but it is also a far superior finished home. No roof penetrations combined with gable venting is so simple and smart. That home has a lot of big wins built into it. The future home owners will truly be getting their money's worth. Every new home should meet Ryan's standards! Way to go Ryan! Matt, thanks for sharing... 😁👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you Ryan and Matt 🤙

Outstanding! Thanks Ryan and Matt for sharing.

Very true that most home buyers of new homes concentrate their thoughts on the finished interior and ignore the build quality of framing, sheathing, plumbing and HVAC. We finished our new home this year and throughout the process my contractor questioned why I'd use expensive Zip R-12 sheathing as I also insisted that I do the Zip tape and liquid flashing so I'd know it was done correctly. Our blower door test was one of the lowest readings that the blower guy tested. We used 4-1/2" screws for the window flanges to seat into the jack studs and used 2x4 construction. My inspiration and many ideas came from Matt and I used many products that he showed like Cavity Slider pocket door frames. One of the best ideas I found elsewhere was installing solar tubes in areas where there were no windows nearby.

i want this guy to build my house oon the north side of Houston
