Dear Linda,
The cost with many strawbale buildings is hard
to assess as a lot of strawbale buildings are built using found , scrounged or
recycled materials with much or all of the labour being provided by friends,
family, volunteers and self, this obviously will result in cheaper build
costs.
I know of one house that cost approximately
£5000 pounds to build!
for a write up on this check out:- www.strawbalebuildingassociation.org.uk/news12.html
and look at the article by Paul Jennings from
the Sustianable Lifestyles Co-operative, about halfway down the
page.
This is the cheapest, habitable house I know of,
so the bottom line is from £5000 upwards.
A guy in Cornwall, called Luke New, built for
around £150,000 and he still used a lot of timber he rescued from the beach
after the freighter-Kodima, sank of the coast last january.
I hope this helps
Kind regards
Chug
