Y’all said you wanted progress.

So here’s progress.

New construction. From the sky. For the people.

Water is the #1 killer of our buildings, and bulk water is the biggest culprit.

Brick and stone are great cladding materials because, when detailed properly, they promote drainage and drying. But no matter how good the mason is, mortar droppings will accumulate in the lower portion of the wall.

That’s why we use a rainscreen at the lower 4’ of the home along with MTI weeps. The rainscreen keeps mortar from bridging against the sheathing while creating a clear drainage path for water to escape. It doesn’t stop there. Once the rain event is over, that same cavity allows the assembly to dry.

This is an extreme example of how much water can get behind stone cladding but it’s a great proof of concept. We should be proving our concepts.
Don’t just keep water out. Give it a way out.

Traditional style with modern thinking applied.

Water held in tension misbehaves. It wants to find a way into our structures.

By giving that water a pathway with a rainscreen/furring strip, we can help manage it instead of fighting it. This particular system is 10mm, which according to some really smart people is enough to also promote drying.

It’s nice to work with manufacturers like Plain Drain that listen to feedback from us as end users and actually deliver.

This furring strip will help extend the life of this beautiful cedar detail, and the building envelope behind it.

Traditional style. Modern thinking. Better durability.

Taking your time and working through the details that are permanent. 🤌🏼

We work with our clients to design and build with a lifetime in mind. That means slowing down before construction starts and making sure the plan actually works for the way you live.

One of our favorite ways to do that? Walking the floor plan, to scale, with our clients at Authenticus Inc.

Standing in the kitchen. Walking into the primary bedroom. Seeing how far the island actually is from the dining table. Making sure that hallway feels right. Catching the little things that are easy to miss on paper but you’ll notice every single day once you’re living there.

Because you only get one chance to build the home you’ll live in for years to come.

Good homes aren’t rushed. They’re thoughtfully planned.

When is the best time to plan for HVAC? As early as possible.

Why? Because early planning makes details like this possible—a wide, dedicated platform that gives the equipment the space it needs to be installed and serviced properly.

It seems simple, but details like this are often missed without a true HVAC design, like this one from [email protected]

HVAC is one of the hardest trades in residential construction. We engineer framing, beams, and foundations. Why wouldn’t we engineer the mechanical system too?

The goal isn’t to make the installer’s job harder—it’s to give them the best chance to succeed and the homeowner the best chance at a comfortable, healthy, high-performing home.

The difference between a standard home and a high-performing home is rarely one big thing.

It’s the accumulation of small, intentional details.

A single detail might only make the home 1% better. But stack enough of those 1% improvements together, and the performance gap becomes impossible to ignore.

Building better isn’t about spending more. It’s about making thoughtful decisions and executing them with the end goal in mind.

Small details. Big results.

Embrace debate. What do you call this detail? Depends on who you ask. If you ask Luke Mezger this is the true monopoly style framing. If you ask Matt Risinger this is modified monopoly framing. We call it Mid-Tex monopoly to highlight the region that, in our opinion it was born. What is not up for debate is the importance of continuity. Which is way easier said than done. When we evaluate a detail, we ask one simple question:

What gives us the greatest chance of success in the field?

A big part of that answer is simplicity. The easier a detail is to explain, the more likely it is to be built correctly every single time.

This detail delivers exactly that—significant performance gains with minimal added cost, while making continuity easier to achieve and easier to inspect.

Better details. Better ex*****on. Better homes.

The best time to find a problem is before it becomes an expensive repair. That’s why we intentionally test critical details like our window installations while the home is still under construction. At this stage, any issue can be corrected quickly, thoroughly, and with minimal impact.

Home building is a hypothesis. Every flashing detail, seal, and installation is expected to perform as designed. But expectations aren’t verification.

That’s why we water test our windows. We trust our trades and our process, but we verify that every assembly performs the way it’s intended to.

Trust, but verify.
Test when repairs are easy, then repair ‘em.

If you’re not testing, you’re guessing.

Building science is cool and all. We spend a lot of time talking about the details that make a home more airtight, durable, and comfortable.

But sometimes it’s the simple details that matter just as much.

Nobody wants to open a cabinet and find sugar ants crawling all over the groceries they just brought home. Ants and other pests travel along the ground, and one of their favorite ways into a home is slipping underneath the bottom plate and through gaps at the foundation.

A well-built home isn’t just about energy efficiency and comfort. It’s also about keeping bugs outside where they belong.

Your shower sees more water than almost anywhere else in your home. Over the course of a year, that adds up to thousands of gallons hitting the walls, floor, corners, and drain.

That’s why we don’t rely on tile and grout to keep water out. The real waterproofing happens behind the tile.

Using the complete system gives us a continuous waterproof layer that directs water where it belongs and keeps it out of the structure. It’s one of those things you’ll never see when the project is finished, but it’s one of the most important parts of a shower built to last.

Good waterproofing isn’t an upgrade. It’s the necessary.
