We are very excited to announce that the ‘Technical Guide’ for Straw Construction, is now out!
The Technical Guide is a vital component within the EU-INTERREG funded project, ‘UPSTRAW’, the aim of which is to promote the benefits and good practice of constructing with straw.
Authored by The School of Natural Building (SNaB), who were the UK representatives for UPSTRAW and SBUK its sub-partners, it is essential for self-builders, contractors, planners, structural engineers, finance/insurance personnel and anyone interested in building with straw!
The Technical Guide is FREE and available to download here
