PROJECT GUIDE
From idea to
a buildable plan.
A practical checklist for your first conversation, not a substitute for professional design.
1. Set the brief
Gather your site details, ownership/planning position, desired spaces and realistic budget range.
2. Establish feasibility
Ask an architect and relevant specialists about planning, site constraints, structural strategy, ground conditions and local requirements.
3. Choose a system
Compare cast hemp-lime, blocks and other approaches against the complete design. Ask about technical evidence, availability, training and installation support.
4. Programme the build
Allow for delivery, weather protection, drying, specialist labour and the order of subsequent trades. Obtain project-specific estimates rather than generic promises.
5. Verify before committing
Confirm the specification, warranties, insurance, responsibilities and approvals with appropriately qualified advisers before placing orders.

Five simple questions. A useful starting point, not a technical specification.
