Welcome to Work in Process, an Austin-based podcast guiding homeowners, builders, and design professionals through the journey of building high-performance custom homes in Central Texas.

When most people think of project management, they picture someone walking a jobsite with a set of plans, checking on trades and making sure work is being done correctly. While that’s certainly part of the job, effective project management in custom homebuilding is much broader—and much more important—than that.
In this episode of Work in Process, Daniel Glauser and Tim Hill pull back the curtain on what project management really means at Risinger Build. They discuss why project management begins long before construction starts, how communication, budgeting, scheduling, quality control, and decision management work together to keep projects moving forward, and why building exceptional homes requires a team—not a single individual.
Whether you’re a homeowner, architect, or design professional, this conversation offers valuable insight into the systems, planning, and collaboration required to bring complex custom homes to life.
In this episode:
- Why project management starts during design, not construction
- The five pillars of successful project management
- How schedules, budgets, and decisions are managed throughout a project
- The role communication plays in keeping teams aligned
- Why custom homebuilding requires a coordinated team effort
- Lessons learned from years of managing complex residential projects
Whether you’re planning a custom home or simply want a better understanding of how the process works, this episode offers a practical look at one of the most important—and often misunderstood—aspects of custom homebuilding.
