The most efficient and useful plant in the world, hemp(male) and marijuana(female). Since the Elite made it illegal it has set mankind back in time. The reason it's more expensive than conventional is because it's illegal, can't be practiced with, making it a niche, and hard to get! The government is primitive and barbaric hurting the people. Imagine if building a home was affordable!
You would have a way bigger impact making hemp insulation and selling it at big box stores for a good price. The embodied energy in mineral wool is obscene. Hempitecture is making an attempt to do this.
I really like the natural look of this material. But I'm curious, if oxides used in rendering would work with hempcrete, So to give some colour options while retaining the wall texture?
I'm wondering how the electrical and plumbing are factored into the building of those hempcrete walls, not to mention the windows. What if you wanted to add extra electrical features once the house is already built?
Southern Cross University in Australia identified hemp as an ideal 'mop crop' that consumes sewage. And then you can build with it like this! Perfect for living in isolated places where you don't want to pollute the water table and ship in materials. I like it. Great video.
Hemp was a major part of various cultures around the world. It’s was so deeply engrained in cultures and traditions. But the white man screwed up everything. Hemp fibres are said to be 8 times stronger than cotton and linen. Every part of the plant is utilised. It’s a very fast growing and sustainable plant for medicinal purposes, spiritual purposes, construction, clothing and various other industries.
Good video. I'm a big fan of hempcrete construction. A few notes: 1. We learnt on my course that hemplime is safe for workers IF you use gloves and a mask, because lime is caustic. 2. I reckon it actually can be structural, it just hasn't been tested enough yet. Here at CAT in midwales where I study, the architecture tutors and students did an experiment where they built a free standing hemp-lime vault. It withstood slow load testing. I'm sure before too long there will be 100% hemp-lime structures. The formwork can be reused over and over. The hemp lime bricks are also a great idea. Could you build a house with only hemp-lime bricks and no timber frame, except for the roof?
Hello. We try to recycle plastic waste as much as possible. WE consider eco-bricks (plastic bottle & cement) but want to replace as much cement as possible. Could hempcrete be an option? How would lime/chalk ract with the plastic bottles?
A company I worked for many years ago done the very same thing as this here in the UK in Haverhill Suffolk ,the process was monitored every step and it was considerably more expensive than conventional build ,as far as I’m aware the houses are still standing they were built for a housing association ,the experiment was to prove they could be built in adverse weather ( the middle of winter and be built buy unskilled labour ) we weren’t but tradesmen unwilling to piss about with it to be honest but they were built and the future tenants were offered an incentive to move into them so the council could monitor the environmental impact . I did learn quite a bit from this project mostly the properties of lime
This video s over three years old now and I have looking for a supplier of the ready-made hemp blocks. No building suppliers near me know anything about them. Do you have a distributor for the hemp blocks?

Let's start it in Malaysia for experiments 👍🎉🥳
Wow!!! This is so fascinating! Who would have thought something like this even existed?! Absolutely love this idea! ❤❤👏

how does hempcrete work in places with more than a few months of consistent monsoon weather- would the overwhelming moisture negate its longevity ?

What if the hempcrete home gets flooded?
This man is the definition of cool.
I am buying property and want to build small homeless shelters and will be donating to different cities
Those hemp hurds look like they would make a great soil amendment.
It needs to be mentioned that hempcrete is not load bearing. It's a lot weaker than concrete and needs timber frame support.
I thought the full process was going to be hemp 😅 like pressed layered hemp walls (instead of wood), floors and insulation.
I hope this takes tree Logging out of business one day
He's wicked cute.🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈

i thought this was building on hemp
What is the water resistant qualities? It reminds me of particle board which disintegrates when wet and goes back to sawdust
What mixer are you using in this video?

Great idea!
Do you also build houses in Europe? (Portugal)
Exactly! Thanks for making this video 🙏👍❤
Won't the building fall apart when it gets wet?
Hi I'm looking for a Hemp Builder in Michigan, United States. Please contact me if you know of anyone. Thanks
not showing plumbing and electrical???

Hello, how much hemp hurd i need for 150m2 wall?
Could any another weed be used in the same or similar way?
