Turning your natural building dream into a reality

We are delighted to provide this course in partnership with the Mackintosh Environmental Architecture Research Unit of Glasgow School of Art.
With Barbara Jones, author of the best-selling manual Building with Straw Bales and Eileen Sutherland, co-director of the School of Natural Building and straw bale builder.
This popular workshop focuses on the project management of your building project, teaching the techniques you need to bring in your project on quality, on budget, on time. We’ll also be covering hot topics such as Green Mortgages and Community Land Trusts.
We will be explaining the following essentials:

- How to manage all stages of the build, the money and the resources.
- Learning from one of our own straw bale build case studies
- How to obtain Green Mortgages & Insurance
- The increasing importance of Community Land Trusts and Co-housing
By the end of this jam packed day, you will have your own Straw Bale Build Manual, which will be invaluable when managing your project.
