HEMPCRETE SPECIALISTS

Hempcrete is a central component in all our work. This low impact carbon negative building philosophy is what set us apart from other building companies.

Our beauifully rendered or off form hempcrtete walls, are a mixture of locally sourced hemp hurd, mould resistant lime binder and water. We are leaders in coloured hempcrete walls complimenting our clean line architectural aesthetics.

Our skilled team hand make these natural breathable walls with tamping techniques and lifting reusable formwork.

TESTIMONIALS

"We couldn’t be happier with our hand made 'Figtree House’; an absolute work of art and sustainable, ingenious, passive solar design. We have loved living in our Balanced Earth build, and would fully recommend the team for a design and build, or renovation project. Exceptional.”

Brian and Marianne - Figtree House
"Balanced earth made our house building experience a pleasure. They were all easy to work with and took time to really listen to our wishes. They have created a truly spectacular home for us. Luke and the whole team were an amazingly creative team with an abundance of skills, their friendliness and attention to detail was outstanding. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build, from small to big projects."

Chloe - Radial House
"I am forever grateful I chose Balanced Earth to build my home in Suffolk Park. My architect Thais Pupio was keen to work with them and from the first meeting they made me feel more than a client, more like part of the team. The process became an exciting, creative endeavour and Balanced Earth successfully walked the line between implementing my wishes and offering professional advice. While they are known for eco-centric builds, they also took into account my tight budget. The project was finished on time and the result was a quality built, energy efficient, incredibly beautiful home."
