Things I can help with:
- Soil testing
- Material testing
- Assess preliminary plans in regards to structural consideration, passive solar design, energy efficiency, weather proofing, ease of building
- Quantity estimates for earthbuilding materials
- Time management for earthbuilding projects
- Setting up streamlined processes on site
- Dealing with local building authorities
- Finding a suitable designer and/or structural engineer
- Sourcing raw materials
- Assessing damage to earthen buildings and suggesting appropriate repair methodology
- and much more
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!
