Building homes with hemp

In this presentation, I will inform your audience about:

-How to actually build with hemp (the most popular methods)
-Legislative / building code issues affecting its use (briefly)
-Why hemp is literally the healthiest most sustainable building material
-All of hemp construction’s amazing sustainable features
-The existing/currently being built hemp homes in NZ
-Why building with hemp is superior to straw bale, earthship, rammed earth or any other form of ‘alternative’ building material.

Additionally, as part of this presentation workshop I will address

-NZ’s leaky home crisis and the appalling quality of NZs housing stock
-The impact of the construction industry (globally and locally) on the climate crisis we face
-NZ government’s commitment to NZ new homes being carbon zero by 2030 – and how we are actually going to get there
-The impact on whanau’s health of living in cold damp homes.
-The toxic materials that most homes are built from and the impact on whanau’s health
-The global hempcrete construction industry and how NZ fits in.

I will be happy to answer QandAs.

I will also bring a demonstration a sample of hempcrete demo block material.
