Unlock Expert Guidance for Your Hempcrete Project

Are you building with or considering hempcrete and need expert support?  Whether you're an architect, builder, homeowner, or developer, I provide specialized consulting to help you integrate hempcrete successfully—ensuring code compliance, performance optimization, and cost-effective implementation. Hempcrete isn't just an insulation for infill, it is a breathable wall system that is incredibly dynamic, buffering humidity by way of thermal inertia resulting in a home that feels comfortable and contributes to a healthy indoor environment quality (IEQ). 

How I Can Help

1.  Material & Application Support (cast in place)

  • Tailored binder recipes and mix ratios for your climate/application.
  • Best practices for mixing, casting, and installation.
  • Training for crews on proper handling and application


2.  Material & Application Support (hempcrete panels, blocks, etc)

  • Adapting credible hempcrete building products for use in construction for homes, greenhouses, etc.


3.  Code Compliance & Performance Optimization

  • Ensuring walls meet energy and structural code requirements
  • Avoiding unnecessary overbuilding (correct wall thickness, insulation values)
  • Assistance with alternative compliance pathways


4. Design & Engineering Collaboration

  • Guidance on vapor-open assemblies and passive solar integration
  • Support for engineers and architects in specifying hempcrete correctly
  • Troubleshooting design challenges and identifying risk scenarios


5. Pilot Product Adoption & Prototyping

  • Assistance in testing new hempcrete products and applications
  • Comparative performance analysis and documentation
  • Integration of hempcrete into innovative projects


6. On-Call Advisory Services

  • Get expert guidance when you need it—without hiring a full-time specialist
  • Flexible retainer options for ongoing support
  • Email and scheduled call support for answering questions and providing direction

How It Works

Step 1: Initial Inquiry

Fill out my intake form or email me directly to share details about your project.


Step 2: Choose a Retainer Package

Expert consulting in vapor open materials - not just hempcre

Beyond Hempcrete: Expertise in Regionally Appropriate Materials

While hempcrete is a key focus, I also assist with other alternative materials suited to specific climates and project needs. From autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) to natural fiber insulation and earth-based construction, I help clients integrate materials that optimize performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. If you're exploring a unique material for your build, I can provide guidance on application, compliance, and best practices.
