From The Build Show.

In this episode of Build Across America, coming to you from Graham, Texas, Matt takes us deep into one of the most challenging climates for construction—where blazing summer heat, high humidity, and heavy seasonal rains demand thoughtful building strategies. Just a few hours north of Austin, Matt meets Josh Helm of Texas Best Construction, a builder known for pushing the boundaries of barndominium design. Together, they tour a one-of-a-kind hybrid steel-and-wood “sports barndominium” that combines massive clear-span strength with the energy efficiency and comfort of a finely built home. Featuring innovative “monopoly framing,” Huber Zip System sheathing, and advanced insulation details, this project is designed not only to stand up to Texas weather but also to deliver long-term performance, comfort, and flexibility for generations to come. Along the way, Matt explores how Josh and his team balance structural durability with high-end design, creating spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.
