Sticks and Bricks: Why We've Built The Same Way For Centuries

Three Squared, Inc. Episode 67

Have you ever wondered why we have been building the same way for centuries? Or why the AEC industry is the hardest industry to enact change in? 

In this episode we sit down and talk about the history of building  and how we have gotten to where we are today...still mostly building with sticks and bricks like we have for hundreds of years. 

Breck gives a quick history of building, shares the implications cheap lumber has on the quality of houses, and how modular construction may be the answer to the housing crisis. 

Here's what you'll learn: 

  • History of building with sticks and bricks
  • Why lumber prices are so high 
  • How the GI bill changed the building industry 
  • What role does modular construction play in the future of housing
  • Breck's project highlight of the week: David's Garage
