In relation to Linus’ question on the WAN Show (18:12) about the non-tech aspects of the tech house. May I point you to one of the most popular house builds on YouTube right now from car YouTuber Cleetus Mcfarland and his "Airport Dream House" series. Both his channel and LTT get a similar enough amount of views on each video and even though his channel is primarily car content revolving around drag racing, the house series is performing great and is enjoyed by many. Granted your goals are very different from one another as that's a full ground up custom house and hanger built on his own private airfield, but I definitely think the appetite for this type of content is there on YouTube.
Regarding the non-tech side of things, I think a large percentage of people will just enjoy seeing the progression of the house over time and want to see how it evolves. So not every video will have to be dedicated to tech, maybe showing off some cool tool to do a specific job can be tech enough.
Circling back to Cleetus and his videos, he gets involved in each milestone of the project, learning as he goes and relying on the contractors to teach him. It really highlights the knowledge and level of craftsmanship people have in the trades, as it’s often overlooked. It's great to see them get the love and recognition for the work and effort they put in. So, pairing this with yours and your team’s knowledge of tech whilst also relying on others to teach you about their profession for the parts not tech related can balance each other out.
TLDR: The "non tech aspects" aren’t an issue, people just want to watch entertaining authentic content (looking at you sponsored robot "X" videos) and if you have no tech to show then highlight the tradesmen or your team and the skills they’ve learned to do the job instead.
