Need additional training in building science concepts? In this video, Matt Risinger, master builder discusses the Construction Instruction app with Mark LaLiberte. At the International Builders Show there are a wealth of new products. However, if the products aren't installed correctly, many problems will develop. LaLiberte has taught building science for 30 years. It's common for builders to approach him for slides, information, installation help. It's apparent that the industry must be committed to teaching. Approximately six years ago, the app launched. It has animation and videos, and it's free from any of the app stores. Once downloaded, watch, read, listen, learn and share with your teams. It's critical to teach people the right way to do things. With this app, even if there is a language barrier, given the animation, it's easy to follow. It shows how to do things, mock ups, details. Risinger's popular building science videos are also available on CI.
