On this episode of the Building Consensus Podcast, hosts Brandon Jones and Travis Brungardt sit down with Jason Bekebrede, owner of Monticello custom home building and remodeling in the Ozarks, while recording at Build Show Live. Jason traces his path from business school to spec homes to custom work after the housing market collapse. The conversation covers building science, energy performance, and comfort as a point of difference in custom construction. They also discuss delegating roles, setting boundaries between work and home, investing in team education, sharing knowledge among builders, and setting long-range goals for how a construction business can fit the life its owner wants.Travis’ Build Show Videos: https://buildshownetwork.com/go/travisbrungardtTravis’ Instagram: @catalystbuiltTravis’ Website: https://www.catalystbuilt.com/Brandon’s Instagram: @bbuildsitBrandon's Website: https://www.aarowbuilding.com/projects/gilman Don't miss a single episode of Build Show content.
