About Kirk Bingenheimer

BingBuilt Solutions is led by Kirk Bingenheimer, a construction professional and educator with extensive experience in residential construction, estimating, and preconstruction planning. His work is grounded in the practical realities of how homes are designed, priced, and built, and shaped by a career that spans both industry practice and higher education.

Kirk’s professional background includes decades of experience in residential construction and procurement, with a particular focus on construction estimating, material takeoffs, and preconstruction decision-making. Over the course of his career, he has supported a wide range of residential projects, developing budgets, evaluating scope, and helping teams navigate the early decisions that most influence project outcomes.

Industry Experience

Before entering academia, Kirk spent many years working directly in the residential construction industry, including leadership roles responsible for estimating, purchasing, and cost control. His experience includes high-volume and custom residential construction, coordination with trade partners and suppliers, and the development of estimating systems and processes that support consistent, repeatable results.

This industry background informs the practical, judgment-driven approach behind BingBuilt Solutions. Recommendations are grounded in real-world constraints, constructability considerations, and an understanding of how decisions made on paper translate to outcomes in the field.

Academic Leadership

In addition to consulting work, Kirk serves as a faculty member in the Nieri Department of Construction and Real Estate Development at Clemson University. He teaches courses in residential construction, materials and methods, estimating, and project delivery, and is actively involved in experiential and service-learning initiatives related to housing and construction education.

His academic work focuses on preparing students for professional practice through applied learning, industry collaboration, and thoughtful integration of emerging tools and technologies. This role keeps him engaged with evolving best practices while maintaining strong ties to industry partners.

Writing and Professional Contributions

Kirk is the author of multiple books and professional publications related to residential construction, home inspection, and construction practice. His writing reflects a commitment to clarity, practical guidance, and advancing professional standards within the industry.

Through ongoing writing and research, he explores topics such as preconstruction decision-making, construction education, workforce development, and the responsible use of technology in residential construction.

Professional Philosophy

At the core of Kirk’s work is a belief that successful residential projects are built on informed early decisions. Accurate estimates, clear scope definition, and realistic assumptions create a foundation for efficiency, quality, and reduced risk throughout construction.

BingBuilt Solutions exists to support those early decisions—quietly, carefully, and with professional judgment shaped by experience rather than urgency.
