Hosts: Tim Hill, Daniel Glauser, and guest, Jordan Smith

In this episode of Work In Process, Tim and Daniel sit down with longtime friend and builder Jordan Smith to discuss his design-build company and the challenges of creating projects that last.

Jordan shares his journey from materials engineering to high-performance homebuilding and explains how his technical background shaped a systems-based approach to construction. The conversation explores the balance between affordability and performance, the realities of remodeling with integrity, and the nuances involved in delivering genuinely high-performance homes. Tim and Daniel also preview an upcoming Build Show series that will be hosted by Jordan and highlights the detailing required to build beyond code requirements and the incremental improvements that can dramatically increase durability and comfort.

This conversation covers craftsmanship, building science, and the responsibility builders carry to create homes that future generations will value and choose to preserve.
