Welcome.  If you plan to build a straw bale home either by yourself or with the help of a contractor, you'll benefit from Andrew's straw bale construction consulting services.  Andrew offers many different consulting services and packages.  There is something for everyone with an interest in building a home or other structure.  Below you will find some examples of the services Andrew offers.  If you don't see exactly what you need or want, please contact Andrew and discuss the specifics of your project.

1. General consulting about straw bale construction.
  Start at the beginning.  Is straw bale construction right for your area?  Is it right for you?  Knowing that you and your climate are compatible with straw bale construction is important.  I don't want you to get excited about the construction technique only to learn that your climate does not support it.  Likewise, I have worked with many clients who were shocked to learn just how much labor and skill is required to build a quality straw bale house.  Find out early if straw bale construction is right for you.

2. Initial plan review for basic layout and function.  Designing a home is not easy.  Having an extra set of eyes can make all the difference in the world.  Andrew has years of experience designing homes which allows him to see the true function of a home design.  Moreover, straw bale construction is a specific technique and it is not the same as conventional construction.  As such, having an expert review your plans for straw bale related technicalities is extremely important.  A few hours of review early on in the design process could save you thousands of dollars in design mistakes.

3. Working construction drawing review and analysis.  Straw bale construction is a specific construction technique and a full understanding of the systems that go into the home is necessary to properly design the project.  For example, the framing, windows and doors, roof design, and engineering all play an important role in the overall construction of the home.  Without extensive experience in straw bale construction, even the best architects can make mistakes that will end up costing you thousands of dollars during the construction of the building.

4. Project consulting with building department support and assistance. Even the best plans need help getting through the planning department.  How often have you heard "you want to build a house out of straw?" from the confused person on the other side of the planning department desk?  Andrew has heard it many times and has a 100% success rate for project approval to date.  He understands how to convince even the unsure planner to sign off on straw bale projects. Let Andrew work with them directly and help smooth the waters.


5. Monthly consulting packages for homes under construction.
  This works well for clients who just need a little help getting the details lined up on their active job site.  Perhaps you have some construction experience under your belt; however, you are unsure how to make ends meet when it comes to bale construction.  Andrew can help smooth out the wrinkles on a month to month basis.


6. Yearlong consulting package covering the entire job from start to finish.
  This is the best option for people building their own home.  You get a year of access to Andrew and his expertise.  You'll have an industry leader and technical expert at your side when you encounter problems along the way to your dream home.  It is not a question of if you will encounter problems.  It will happen so why not arm yourself with a powerful ally like Andrew to help you get out of the hole as quick as possible and back into effective construction?


7. Personal success coaching (www.CoachingBuilders.com).
Andrew can help you with more than just the technical aspects of construction.  There is a lot of emotional impact that will occur for people while building their home.  Andrew has worked with hundreds of people from all over the world to help them overcome their limitations and frustrations.
