FAQs
Below are answers to some frequently asked questions. Or get in touch with us here.
Why build with Hemp?
Hemp is a sustainable, healthy, natural building material with some unique properties: it is fire resistant; termite resistant; creates breathable walls; is great natural insulation (more than twice traditional brick vaneer). An industrial hemp crop can be grown and harvested in 20 weeks and once it’s in a wall all that carbon is sequestered for the life of the building.
How much does a hemp home cost?
It can be 5-15% dearer than a traditional building but will save on heating and cooling costs throughout its lifetime. In the Hunter Valley, due to local supply, its embodied energy, environmental and health benefits outweigh any other sustainable building product.
