hempcrete
A sustainable and environmentally conscious option.Hempcrete is a bio-composite material, a mixture of hemp hurds (shives) and lime, used as a material for construction and insulation.
Hempcrete is easier to work with than traditional lime mixes and acts as an insulator and moisture regulator. The result is a lightweight material that combines insulation and thermal mass. Research suggests this is a building material for the future.
strawbale
There is nothing quite like the feeling of walking into a strawbale home. Thick and well insulated walls, soft curves of the plaster, create a space that is warm and inviting.
Receiving the opportunity to work with this wonderful natural product is a joy of ours, and if it’s a dream of yours we’d love to discuss your options with you.
recycled timber
Working with timber is soul food for the team at Erkhart Construction. As carpenters first and foremost, nothing gives us more pleasure and joy than bringing an old piece of wood back to life.
If it’s time to unearth that old stash of timber, it would be our pleasure to give it a new lease of life by incorporating it into your new home.
