Type of Construction Projects

Below are the types of construction projects that are most feasible with Earth and healthy material. These project can be developed in absolutely any climate on earth. Cold climate requires special adaptations in terms of insulation, type of walls and wall protection. Earthquake areas require special structural reinforcement. Obviously, areas with no earth such as deserts or very rocky areas need to import either the earth or the earth bricks. 

E3Habitat will progressively support the development of each type.
