Episode 7: Supply Chain and Building Supplies

On today’s podcast I’m joined by special guest Jeff Rettig, VP of Supply Chain at Builders First Source to talk about the crazy spike in the commodities market especially surrounding lumber products. Lumber prices have sky rocketed recently by almost 4 times compared to what they were this time last year and with demand increasing and supplies tightening due to varying factors, it’s having a huge impact across the industry. For the average sized house build, the lumber alone is costing around $2...

Episode 6: Disruptions in the Building Supply Chain

On today’s episode I’m joined by two very special guests from the go-to company for all your sealant caulk, and stain needs -- Sashco. Nathan and Les are discussing all things supply chain disruption (it sure has been crazy out there) and what to do if you can’t find your preferred product for a build. With an increased demand for housing and this bottleneck in the supply chain, it’s become a little (a lot) more difficult to source the products we need. Big companies like Sashco are no different...

Episode 4: All About Net Zero Homes

On this week’s episode I’m talking all about net zero homes. Having built several net zero homes I definitely see the benefit of them from both an environmental and financial perspective. Especially down here in Texas where solar energy doesn’t just supply your home’s energy, but also nets you a profit if you want to sell it back to the grid. However, I do think the term net zero is thrown around a lot and sometimes can effect a build in a negative way. So tune in to found out whether or not I t...

Episode 3: How do I find a good builder?

Today I’m joined on the show by a couple of my buddies and business partners here at Risinger Build and we’re here to chat about one of the most commonly asked questions Steve gets in his inbox. And that is, “How do I find a good builder?” Interestingly, he’s found that many who ask that question aren’t quite ready to be at this stage just yet. This is because before you start looking for a builder, you need to be crystal clear about the project and exactly what it is you want from your new home...

Episode 2: Matt's Story - Part 2

On this week’s episode of the Build Show Podcast I want to talk about mistakes, specifically in business and tell you about one of my biggest mistakes I made when I first started out. Speculative projects and debt. I started my company in 2005 and was working entirely on speculation. Throwing my own money into developments in the hope that these potential clients I was speaking to would stick to their word and buy the property for X amount when it was finished. Then the recession hit. Housing pr...

Episode 1: Matt's Story - Part 1

The Build Show Podcast is here! In today’s episode I wanted to take some time to introduce myself, Matt Risinger, and share my story of how I got to where I am today. I talk all about my first building experience, back when I was in Junior High working on some porches for locals, my journey through college, my first real grad job working for a national building company (where I stayed for 7 years and learnt a lot!), and the idea to start my own company too. So, if you’re new to the Build Show, w...
