Three hempcrete homes went up in Colorado and Minnesota this summer, each with a different wall system: hempcrete cast in place on site, prefabricated hempcrete panels, and hemp blocks set in a steel frame. Builders reported costs from about $260 to about $400 per square foot.

Over the past year, nine hemp-based building material manufacturers got the chance to take part in a program the US hemp industry has needed for a long time: the creation of standardized, third-party test data required by U.S. building codes and permitting agencies.

A hempcrete home was the bio-construction project featured in a new case-study webinar by Colorado-based Natural Building Alliance. The webinar explained how one family financed and insured a hempcrete home in Wildwood GA

A new hemp house being built in Georgia shows that with the right bank, even a new material like hempcrete can qualify for a construction loan.
