We were only able to provide external access to our buildings because the residential units are occupied by their private owners. However, all the completed projects displayed in this video are projects we worked on, some with our external partners. This gives you an idea of what our finished work looks like. The interior at 0:57 to 1:09 gives you an idea of our grade C finished interior, this was a partnered library project with our team.

Excellent! Reintroducing an old building technique. Our ancestors were eco-friendly long before someone coined the term. It's great to see us coming full circle trying to undo all the damage 'modern' humans did and are still doing to the environment. Well done Brother!

[@luedch8460]

This is brilliant! I have often wondered why this method is not more popular in Africa, concrete buildings are hot in summer and cold in winter so you need to spend a lot in electricity all year around to be comfortable at home. There are beautiful example of beautiful architecture homes made with earth bags also. I hope that Africans will stop to follow blindly the west and do what is more appropriate for their own weather and resources. Congratulations, this is very hopeful to see. ❤️🇧🇷

[@tundealawal4398]

Hot in summer and cold in the winter? You do realize this is West Africa. There is no winter and summer 🙄

[@Ijanee4806]

Thank you for saying what I'm feeling. In US living in toxic environments with elements such as Carpets, pet dander, wooden floors, smoke damaged wood not processed correctly or not at all being used for them, as well as painted walls with unknown elements in them are not doing anything but elevating headaches and Allergies. So yes, these homes are more of what I'm interested in. Looking forward. Bless you all.

In Liberia, there is a place called Bong Mines, in a village called Nyenyen. And these are the type of homes all over the village. And my aunt had one. Built by the locals .We called the Red mud homes.. this type of red earth is all over Bong mines..

[@jerrysamuels8716]

Sounds great. Housing costs here in America are very wasteful and deceptive. The key is starting with a good plan that orients the house to the sun. Water and solar energy harvesting should be added to that list for heating, cooling and growing food. A quarter to a half an acre extra for growing food, flowers and fruit trees can start to make your life pleasurable. Enjoy life. Another thing, you don't really need a lot of space. This becomes obvious when you have to clean that space regularly. Rather, we need to learn how to use space more effectively for multiple purposes.

[@TheEchoingPen]

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 right there with you

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Living in an area with good, fairly regular weather helps a ton as well! I've lived in Japan a very long time, so I'm used to living in very small spaces. So, I started thinking about building a tiny house in the States, but because it's become so popular, the prices have gone up prohibitively, never mind about the deceptive costs of land. So, I'd love something like this.

[@Afrikaislife]

Rammed earth is healthier air quality, there is better insulation and less need to use air conditioning. In California only the rich can afford to build rammed earth homes. This is how I'm building my home.

[@santiagoromero3475]

Why only the rich can build rammed earth homes in California? Is the soil too expensive or where does the cost come from?

[@noodle3768]

Probably the labor is significantly higher for rammed earth.

[@thunderofgr]

This is a phenomenal video breaking down EVERY major question I get asked for Rammed Earth. I can’t believe it took me 2 years to find this video, but it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen. Great work, great questions and presentation style. Thank you Kara Konsultants for breaking all this down so succinctly.

[@beachroad6793]

You know you've found a great niche for yourself and it also helps that you're very attractive. Have to repeat this fact. Your videos are very Informative and will surely use one of your builders when in Ghana early next year. Good job.

[@itrendvideos1003]

The big cement companies such as Ghacem, diamond, dangote, etc have hijacked the building industry with cement buildings for profit reasons.Most Houses in Europe and America are over centuries old so Africa has no option but to change course.Cost of houses in Ghana for example is so expensive due to all the cement factor from blocks, to concrete to plastering.

Hello One Media house, we only have external shots of the residential units because they are all currently occupied by owners, who are not comfortable having cameras in their personal space: which is completely understandable.

[@ashutoshpattanaik3650]

Hi, ❤️ from India , I think the reason that this isn't a widely used technique is scalability and time of construction. In India there r programs in which old earthen homes r getting reconstructed in villages with modern technology but ramped earth isn't used widely,for that reson. Though one thing is sure, that it can pass test of time unlike any other things.

[@roid1510]

Thats an interesting observation. Do you think its time consuming because it really takes time or the right tools to speed up the process just haven’t been developed yet?

[@AntonsClass]

That's so affordable. I have been in love with rammed earth since I first saw it a few years back. They charge a ton for it here in the US, though. Anyway, I feel strongly that the future of construction will rely more heavily on more natural materials. Thanks for sharing.

This is such an amazing and affordable housing that allows me to go Green 💚. It is so cost effective and a quicker than usual way to get started on building. So many ideas are in my head right now. Ex. Can I attach a solar panel roof. Is it possible to build up the foundation of 6" (inches) before the actual structure is constructed? Is it possible to add a backup generator, other selective energy switches to avoid brown out or destruction of sensitive equipment and refrigeration, etc. Is the bore hole and septic system cost different and do you have your own people? And lastly, if I started a 2 bedroom flat and later want to add-on a two story structure, is it possible?

[@lamdo3003]

I think I would use something to seal the out side up. I mean water proofs by some kinda clear coat paint or something like that. Dont need anything fancy. Or I would even create some kinda of panels that made from earth materials like dry leaves or something. To cover the out side. You can change them every few years? Or even longer. But still protect the wall behind it. Just so that when the water hit the wall. It will hit the covers outside only.

Are there any plans to make the presentation of the house prettier and more refined ?
