Why You Should Join

If you have an interest in building a cob house (or any kind of house) then this is the course for you!

While this course is based on using cob, these design lessons apply to many other Natural Building methods: rammed earth, adobe, earthbag, straw bale, light straw-clay, etc...

You won't learn these important design lessons at any other workshop.

I've compiled some of the best design lessons all in one compact course from years of research and experience.

These lessons can save you thousands of dollars in building mistakes, and could even save your house from a structural disaster!

An architect or Natural Building design consultant can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars for a single visit and consultation. Not to say that this is bad and that they are overcharging. Not all all, actually. One visit by a professional designer might cost you $500 but it could save you $50,000 in mistakes.

This course has the potential to save you thousands of dollars.

Whether you are working with a professional designer or not, you personally need to understand the fundamentals of designing a cob building.

Benefits of Joining:

  • Access to the ONLY design-focused cob workshop
  • Learn how to avoid the major design mistakes with cob building
  • Save thousands of dollars in architect and consultancy fees
  • No travel required. All you need is a computer with internet access!
  • No need to use your precious vacation days to attend a workshop
  • No need to cut time out of your busy schedule
