Median home price in Bozeman is around 850K... in a state that is in the bottom five of average salaries. The math doesn't compute. My Montana town has a 114K difference between what the median salary affords you and what the median home price actually is. More communities need affordable developments like these.

[@kschleic9053]

I feel like these two guys were defending their masters thesis for building best practices with Matt just grilling them... They certainly passed with flying colors!

[@EnginerdNate]

Great to see a community building something normal folks might dream of affording.

[@kevinniessen1296]

Please stop saying "modest" and "nothing special". Square footage and price point should never affect the evaluation of construction. These developers and builders are admirable for their efforts for affordability, and shouldn't ever be degraded for their strong work ethic

[@crissd8283]

I can't believe Matt is reviewing a house that is less than 3 million and less than 9,000sqft. Never thought I'd see the day.

It's good to see a builder going after the affordable market with quality and design details from a core perspective that are generally reserved for the higher end of the market. Everyone deserves to have a well built home that is energy efficient and comfortable in even the coldest climates.

Trying to understand why they're building this way rather than with integrated foam like a Zip-R type product... Is there cost savings? Looks like more material and labor with all the Tyvek and OSB! What am I missing?

[@user-kk9zc3xo1r]

My guess is the zip is a waste of time and money if you are putting a layer of styrofoam and plywood and tyvek and then siding over a layer of plywood...I'm not saying the zip won't make it bedder I'm just saying what you gain is not worth the cost

[@natej6671]

Matt, thanks for pushing the envelope and making them show us the basement.

Working class? Dam so for the people that actually do the work

[@MrVitorio007]

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things

[@CivilianDan]

Finally got to see cold weather details with advanced building techniques. Absolutely loved this.

[@Porglit]

We need to see this level of craftsmanship become the standard everywhere. The efficiency and quality will make these houses extremely long-lasting and affordable in the long-term!

[@jefferylebowski7355]

This is my favorite video of the year! Such a cool project, nice work!

[@voidkassadin5304]

Just incredible to see this level of detail and thoughtful thinking in home design on a more affordable end of the spectrum. The ultimate goal for Passive House design is that most, if not all, homes should be built to this degree of performance and air tightness. High quality and comfort shouldn't be restricted to the ultra-wealthy.

[@gavinperry7237]

Nice to see house construction that build details to make energy efficient

[@matthewp8003]

Great episode. So nice to see a builder putting the care and detail into an affordable home.

[@TylerCruickshank]

This is an awesome development. Huge kudos to these builders.

[@TheBgrugbymatt]

So awesome. Love what y'all are doing

[@thriftyelf3845]

A truly inspirational video Matt! Those who know better are building better! Making the effort to put forward the best building practices at ALL housing prices points is better for our communities, our county, and the Earth.
