• Sand is ecological and easy to find;

• Minimal water needed for construction;

• Relatively low carbon footprint and embodied energy;

• Sandbags can be reused or recycled;

• No energy consumption for burning bricks or producing cement;

• Less transportation: Sand is locally available nearly all over the world, so it can be obtained on site;

• Very good thermal properties (cool in summer – warm in winter), reducing the use of air conditioning or heating, it can cut a utility bill by up to 70 percent.

• Sandbag construction is between 5 to 30% cheaper;

• The ease of transportation of building material will reduce construction time;

• The main work can be done by unskilled labour or semi unskilled labour, reducing labour costs and potentially providing job and entrepreneurial opportunities to the local community;

• Foundations usually are very simple and cost effective.

Sandbag construction

The use of recyclable and available materials in large quantities is one of the recent trends in sustainable building.

Sandbag building is surely one of the lowest cost, most practical building methods.

First used by the military for building durable, bullet and blast resistant structures, this building method has recently experienced a surge of interest among builders. There are now an estimated 2,000 to 3,500 earth bag structures, including homes, offices, shops, schools, temples, clinics, orphanages and even ecovillages.

Our sandbag building system is one of the best and easy ways to do it, with lots of advantages for you, the environment and the economy.

This construction alternative offers design flexibility, environmental responsibility, energy efficiency, long-term structural integrity, durability and lower home-operation costs.
