Natural Building With Cob #shorts #greenbuilding

Bryce from Cré Natural Building explains the benefits and challenges of building with cob.

Cob is a natural building material created from clay, sand, and straw that can be used to build load bearing walls, window and door frames, and much more.

It's a natural way to build using materials that are typically found locally. In fact, building with earth and natural fibres is a technique used in many places around the world. This style of construction can have different names, like earth building, adobe, mud bricks, etc.

Bryce teaches natural building and cob workshops in person and online. You can find out more about his courses on his website here:
