As a result of research and development in straw bale building technology, the need for a modular,

prefabricated straw bale building system has been recognized.

The production itself is organized in a so called “Virtual Factory”, which makes the best use of already

existing small-scale local players like carpentries and farmers (for raw material), while marketing and

logistics are organized centrally. The main benefit of this structure is its flexibility caused by the network of

local actors. Furthermore the application of prefabricated systems produces higher profitability resulting from

less construction failures. Design can be also customized. The system is anticipated to be competitive over
