Hi Craig.

I'm very interested in your concept and progress having some small scale experience of straw bale building myself (through Amazon Nails).

I have a few questions, which I can't find answers for:

1. What's the recommended method of construction of the foundations. I'm assuming you use limecrete. There doesn't appear to be much of a water barrier in the Bath Uni construction?

2. Do you use lime render on the inside and outside? I thought the preferred material was clay for internal walls? Is this just a matter of logistics of manufacture and economies of scale?

3. What do you do about internal wiring?

4. How do your prices compare to traditional methods such as brick or block? This will be one of the main argument from the construction industry no doubt?

Good luck in the competition.

Regards
Phil.
