Every Monday

Site Walk

A weekly walk through what changed in materials, methods and the building trades, and what it means on the job.

On most jobs, someone walks the site once a week to see what has changed since the last visit. This is the same habit, turned on the whole trade. Each Monday we gather the week’s news on materials, methods, tools and rules, and ask what it means for how a house gets built. Every item links to its source and ends with a question.
