Yes you are correct to say "there's lots of videos about Rammed Earth but none took you from set up, mixing, ramming, taking down walls, and setting up again. Training courses, internships and crew hiring happen on every build" and certainly there's abosolutely none like your video, very educational and detailed.
Thank you for sharing, I find your videos both inspiring and reassuring that I can build using rammed earth as well. When I find my piece of land, I’ll try to reach out to you just to thank you for helping me get the next step towards the type of living I want for my family.
I'm always willing to show the build... if you are in the area just reach out and you can have a tour... as it stands today all the back fill is done and the roof is sheathed, no doors or windows yet but they will be on site in a few weeks... if we can get our highways rebuilt before we all run out of food and starve
@@owenbrown6523 yes you do and if I remember correctly one of us borrowed a tile cutting saw from the other about 10 years ago not sure where that ended up... Lol
Love the colors. The layers look lighter on the top of each lift. Gives it a cloud type look . AMAZING! IF I had the time I would love to help on a build .
Wow simply gorgeous! BC has always been way ahead of the curve in design ! I’m looking n learning, was I onsite to get my hands dirty.,Mena from Chicago Il n roots in NC..
Been watching the videos of those areas impacted by those massive floods all over the world and rammed earth construction keeps coming to mind. Seems like this type of structure would be able to stand up against those storms a lot better? Even if a place got flooded out, rammed earth wouldn't require a complete teardown?
BEAUTIFUL! What's the ratio of the mixture and how do you get the complete project to be so smooth no holes in the Rammed Earth what's your secret this is absolutely gorgeous
The first 4 feet is still Rammed Earth its just not been dyed as its going to be below ground... but we liked the gray so much we asked the guys to put ribbons of it in the walls above ground as well and it ended up looking amazing.
@@MrBegoofy Very interesting. Please upload more of these videos. I really want to see how this all turns out. I just learned about rammed earth today, very very cool.
@@al-du6lb The best I can do is pictures, this vidieo was created by Rob who was on the crew over the summer and I lack his skills in this area, he also came all the way across the country to work with us on the bulid so unfortunantly he cannot pop over to the property to film new footage so that is kind of a bummer.
The House is almost done... should get final occupancy this spring... only hang up was septic so nothing with the Rammed earth or anything... I may have to fly Rob back to BC again so he can do a follow up vid of the finished house :)
I need to know more about the foundation, looks like the only foundation was done around the walls, can I get more information about that, it looks like a foundation like this is even cheaper to build with.
nice work! I would like to try this in Kitimat for a small simple home I can show for seniors, would you be able to tell me who you used as far as an engineer that signs off on this form of building? I doubt our local firms would be interested in looking since they are busy with industrial projects and charge industrial rates.
Hi there! Thank you! I'm not entirely sure on the engineering and architecture, but the two links in the description will take you to where you can ask them directly. I just worked and did the videography work on this project!
I wanted to join Clifton this past summer for a week of training. Fingers crossed it works out in the summer of 2023 and I can build my own rammed earth home. The hexagon house finished beautifully btw. Cheers
How does that work ? Do you just volunteer and they train you ? You think this stuff would be more popular. Why dont more people like to build this way ? Surely this is no good for a skyscraper lol But for nice homes and walls it looks great to.
@@savagex466-qt1io Free training? I wish my doctor got some of that high quality free training. It is popular, but people have been conditioned to want square white boxes.
At the base of the wall, what connects it to the footing or foundation? Does it just lie there and stand there resistant to winds? Do you use rebar to make the connection?
Hello! Great video, I want to work with rammed earth in Guatemala, can you recomend some literature to learn more about the details and its resistance in seismic areas? It would help me a lot! Keep the good work
hello! what's in the mix and the proportions? (how much part soil, cement, water?) and was it natural sand/soil that was used to colour, or artificial colouring? Thank you!
Hey Caleb! I worked on this project last year and I have to follow up with the owners to try to get some updates. I will post anything that I come across!
I would love to see more on this project! The walls are the best I have seen! Also what was the mixture? Gravel fines? With cement or earth/clay, sand and gravel and cement?
@@calebneyland3595 yes, all that I know because I wasn't the mixing expert, was aggregate & gravel fines, clay & earth, and then I believe 10% portland cement for the walls. And on the top cap was a 20% cement mixture to hold the bond beam.
I love Rammed Earth. As a Project Manager; I find the form building method shown here to be laborious and labour intensive. Reusable and versatile Form-work Design solutions are begging to be implemented. The substrate mixing, the form filling and compacting process can be mechanized far more efficiently. With appropriate development this method of construction can compete very cost-effectively with traditional construction methods and create stunning outcomes.
Totally agree, hopefully in the future someone is able to develop this method of building so that it can be workable at mass scale and these types of houses be the norm in home construction!
Curious what ideas you have for increased efficiency. Have you seen the half-yard concrete mixer on the front of a telehandler for mixing and placing rammed earth? Recently saw that, mind blown.
This is not production line building. It's a custom build. Different forming system, philosophy, use of materials, etc. Scaled up building is already solved and is used when called for.
Looks great! Was that earth mix for the low section naturally grey colour? I’ll be building a rammed earth home this year. Can you share any details on the soil mix ratio? Did you change the pigment colour or ratio between lifts? Thanks!
I'm not an expert, but from what I understand, the materials alone for this house was under 10k. The most expensive part of this type of build will be labour and rentals (excavators, bobcat, etc.) It's not significantly cheaper than conventional houses due to the WAY it's needed to be build and the timeframe (especially in Canada as this one was), but you could save a lot through learning to do it yourself and building your own home. Hope this helps, I can try to get more info if not!
Looking great! What size of compressor are you using for this? I’m looking to build with this method and would love to learn more! Thanks! Great video!
So the compressor I rented for the build was diesel powered and capable of 185 CFM... but that was because we were running two tampers most of the time if you were only running one then you could do with a smaller electric powered one but it would still need to be a decent size tank.... Keep in mind using a pneumatic tamper makes it easy but with time and effort there is nothing that would stop you from just hand ramming it, you don't get to see in the vid but there is one feature wall with a round window and much of this wall was "Man Rammed" ya that one is for all the tolls out there go to town ;)
Awesome. Your response is much appreciated. I intend to gear up for this and promote this method of building. So many benefits to it. Hope you post progress pics or vids!
Yes you can do it without, however in BC regulations stipulated that we needed to get a Structural engineer involved and adding the tiny bit of concrete makes it "stabilized rammed earth" and that was a bit easier to get passed.
You shouldn't build the earth walls over concrete slabs! You should do cyclopean foundations! You dig trenches and build a wall up with stones and layers of lime concrete (no cement). You start with big stones on the bottom of the trench and you put smaller stones as you go up. This is the way they were buiding houses and castles in ancient time. It lasts for centuries.. As concrete slabs are way to strong, mecanically and it ends up cracking. You stop the wall thus made, a bit off the ground and you can build the rammed eath walls on top of it!
Thank you for sharing this information. You answered my question: how we’re rammed earth foundations built back in the day? My next question is: how deep for each additional floor above the first floor? This kind of you, again
@@Francedefence Feel free to post your own videos and present your credentials. The foundation you describe is a good option in certain situations, but can be problematic due to its load bearing and technical limitations.
absolutely beautiful work!!... Just don''t ask what the per square foot building costs are....lol... for anyone with a normal (non)budget... Check out the documentary 'Garbage Warrior'... 7 years into our build if anyone has questions...
this can be made cheaper depending on materials used for form work and for building, and the machinery. In places where they traditionally use rammed earth, it's much cheaper than conventional methods
ya it ended up being quite reasonable it was the Labor that was the biggest cost, materials at least for us were literally dirt cheep, so depending on how much work you want to put in yourself and what your time is worth you can shave off many 1000's of dollars, when we costed it out it was going to be about 5% more but then we were hit with Covid and lumber prices so in the end the walls came in much much cheaper then a standard stick frame would have.
the thing is how do you get that dry. I remember me and my dad buiding a dirt oven. Then you have to burn that up to get that relatively hard. I find this way of building time and energy and money consuming for no reason How does that help the envirornment? You are using sand stone and cement. Concrete is made of sand gravel and cement. This is turning in circles but vey slowly. A waste. Can you imagine they stand turning there their mixture by hand in a Bobcat bucket???? I could be a good workout.
@@decnijfkris3706 You do not seem to understand what you are watching. Get what dry? The benefits are many. The bobcat does the mixing, not the people. You should go learn about this system, then you won't have any trouble understanding any part of what is being done and why.
@@RedefineandDesign No I totally don't get it. You cannot build houses like that. First it is ugly. It also is unefficient cuz you have no single even wall inside. Suppose it stiffens out you will have to drill into kinda concrete walls to lay drains and gaines. Garantee you will have damage and cracks. You won't be able to cmmercialize it because of the huge labour cost. So it is a therapeutical ecological occupation that has no advantage to anyone. It will cost way too much time and llabour to build a house like that. Totally inefficient. What I would do if I were you is to fabricate bricks out of your mash and then build a house with it with mortar and an insulation gap. You could say Gaudi was innovative but in no way he was efficient. If you want alternative building then make a real mud house ie a wooden frame with rushes and then fill it up with hey/straw and your mixture. Again that is very cost inefficient. Another option is to build a wooden house and fill up walls with straw. These are all old techniques applied by my ancestors in building houses. They applied it until they got access to brick stone and then dropped these old techniques because bricklaying is much more cost effcient and ecological. In my region constant research is done in new products to make walls from that are cheaper and still have a high insulating value. Up till now we stay constructing houses in concrete ori in brick stone. Watching your mixture scares me because with the wind and the rain your dirt will fast deteriorate. So read some books before acting as the ecological innovation of the century. And the result is ugly, weak and liable to all kind of weather. It costs too much time and effort to get something out of it. It does not help nature any further. There is enough sand (white and yellow) on the globe to build houses with. You are craving a dirt pit. So very bad ecological example professor.
@@ThisIsToolman Well Toolman, not sure what you do for a living, but I think you have never done any Rammed Earth, or concrete work, or roofing, or bricklaying, etc, etc.
@@RedefineandDesign You’d be mistaken. I’ve worked on a number of roofing jobs including carrying the bundles up the ladder. I’ve built wooden decks, run concrete, scraped dried plaster from a concrete floor, unloaded a semi truck of bags of plaster, run a wheelbarrow full of plaster up a 2 x 12 ramp 3’ high, bucked hay…I know what “labor intensive” is.
