Maintenance

Is maintenance a problem?

Rammed Earth Homes generally require no maintenance. Unlike brick or stone, there will never be any re-pointing or mortar repairs needed, and if our walls are exposed to fierce or extreme weather conditions, we not only formulate our walls accordingly, but any additional surface coatings thought necessary can be easily applied afterwards.

How fast is your rammed earth construction?

Our well designed Rammed Earth Homes with good access and services, etc. will generally go up faster than double brick and plaster.
