BS & Beer Tulsa is for builders, contractors, inspectors, designers, tradespeople, building-science professionals, and curious humans who want to understand buildings better. Join the list to hear about upcoming meetings, speakers, and ways to get involved.
Have a project, case study, lesson learned, question, or building-science topic worth exploring? BS & Beer Tulsa is built around learning from each other. We welcome presentations, demonstrations, discussions, and real-world experiences that help the whole room think better about buildings.
Help us keep BS & Beer Tulsa accessible, educational, and fun. We’re looking for local businesses and industry partners to sponsor food, beer, and meeting expenses while connecting with a community that cares about better buildings.

Welcome to BS & Beer Tulsa!
Building Science, Better Homes, and Honest Conversations
BS & Beer Tulsa is a casual, education-first building science meetup hosted by Adam Mellor, of Mellor Woodworks.
Builders, tradespeople, designers, suppliers, homeowners, real estate folks, curious people...everybody is welcome!
The name is casual because the group is casual. The point is to get people in the same room, have a beer, talk shop, ask questions, and learn from each other.
Most conversations about homes are about what you can see: cabinets, floors, countertops, paint colors. We spend more time talking about the stuff behind all of that.
How water gets managed. How air moves through a house. Why insulation details matter. What happens in attics and wall assemblies. How HVAC, humidity, ventilation, and the building enclosure all work together.
Basically, the things that determine whether a house actually feels good, performs well, and holds up over time.
What We Talk About
The topics change from month to month, but they usually revolve around real building-science issues we see in Oklahoma homes.
Things like air sealing, insulation, moisture, HVAC, wall and roof assemblies, vapor control, drainage, durability, indoor air quality, and jobsite details.
Some meetings might have a presenter. Some might be more hands-on. Sometimes the best conversation comes from somebody saying, “Okay, I ran into this weird thing on a job…”
That’s kind of the point. Nobody has to walk in knowing everything. We’re here to compare notes and get better together.
Who Should Come?
Pretty much anyone who cares about better homes. That might be a builder, remodeler, HVAC contractor, roofer, framer, architect, designer, inspector, supplier, real estate professional, homeowner, or somebody who just likes learning how buildings work. You do not need a bunch of initials after your name. You just need to be curious.
Why Does This Stuff Matter?
Because houses are systems.
Your roof affects your attic. Your attic affects your HVAC. Your HVAC affects humidity. Your wall assembly affects moisture. One little detail can affect five other things. And when those details are missed, homeowners are usually the ones who find out later.
Hot rooms. High humidity. Drafts. Water problems. Mold. Expensive repairs. The usual fun stuff. Better building happens when the people involved understand how their piece connects to everyone else’s. That is a big part of why this group exists.
Why Oklahoma?
Because Oklahoma is not exactly gentle on houses. We get heat, humidity, wind, heavy rain, storms, big temperature swings, and long cooling seasons. The details matter here. We want to keep learning what works, what does not, and how we can build and remodel homes that handle our climate better.
Build better. Learn together. Raise the standard.
