The average house is designed to comply with building regulations and meet client's lifestyle requirements. Many traditional building materials like brick, concrete, steel and cement etc require a lot of energy during their manufacture and transport.

By choosing alternative materials we can reduce the impact of construction on pollution and global warming, as well as saving on running costs for years ahead in this climate of uncertain energy costs.

Houses can be designed to offer very low heat loss and maximise solar gain. Through discussion with Sustainable Earth we can identify the best format for your build. The following are suggestions to how this can be achieved.
