Things I can help with:

- Assess preliminary plans in regards to structural consideration, passive solar design, energy efficiency, weather proofing, ease of building
- Quantity estimates for earth building materials

- Sourcing raw materials
- Assessing damage to earthen buildings and suggesting appropriate repair methodology

Please note: I can't tell you how much your home will cost, because there are too many variables that affect the price tag and the earthbuilding side of things is not actually the biggest influencing factor.
However, I can give you advice on how to save money in your building project!
