New build part-hempcrete house
2012/2013 Bristol
hempcrete contractor | lime render and plaster contractor
I acted as consultant to the architect of this build to assist with their hempcrete details.
The front and one side of this house was hempcrete and the rear and other side was SIPS with foam insulation- a strange combination, I can’t wait to return to see if there is any difference in feeling or performance between the hemp rooms and the foam rooms.
I constructed the softwood frame around the oak with Rob and Dan and assisted Graham Durrant in spraying the hempcrete. I did all the lime plastering with Rob and completed the lime render with the help of a local plasterer called Simon.
There were 50 cubic metres of hempcrete @350mm thick, the softwood, hempcrete, lime plaster and lime render came to £35,890.00 (bear in mind just over half of the hempcrete was rendered)
