Building Science and Design Priorities

Views on Construction

Seville believes many people want to build correctly, but schedules and timing can lead to mistakes.

He is a fan of modular and offsite construction because these buildings are assembled in enclosed environments.

He wants general contractors to make sure the building is sealed and intact onsite before finishing the process.

He prefers simpler building shapes over complex custom designs.

He says vaults, dormers, and attic ductwork create more insulation and healthy-building problems.
