For thousands of years, humanity built structures using only materials directly available: Timber, Stone, Clay, Lime and Plant Stocks. Because of the variability in the strength of most of these materials, and the skilled labor necessary for their installation, natural materials in their raw form have been pushed to the sidelines of the building code and industry usage. As we see natural materials as a more healthy and climate responsible way to build, we are working to increase usage by offering engineering services to those pursuing these building methods.
