Solid Earth Adobe Buildings

With over 200+ completed projects since 2002 and many years of teaching experience in NZ and abroad, Solid Earth Ltd is one of the most experienced natural building companies and the longest standing Adobe Brick manufacturer in the country. Our focus is on creating beautiful, healthy living spaces that have minimal environmental footprint. We take pride in our state-of-the-art workmanship, extensive research and innovation in the field, as well as our contribution towards the NZ Earth Building Standards. We believe that natural building is the way of the future. Our company is dedicated to regenerative environmental practices, ethical employment, heart-centred leadership and community. We specialize in the Adobe Brick technique, natural plasters over a range of substrates, earthen feature walls in timber-framed buildings, as well as the restoration of historic cob buildings. We carry out earth building construction work only, working in with other construction professionals and tradespeople as required. For the past 15 years, we have been sharing our knowledge of natural building with hundreds of people through workshops and community projects. We are now adding consultancy and web-based tuition to our offerings, because we saw that there is massive scope for people to fast track the progression from an idea to execution, by learning hands-on with my guidance, on their own earth building projects. Our 3-month signature program "Earth Building Academy" is currently in its second round and a great success!
