3. Applications in new residential and commercial building, as well as in retrofitting
4. The material’s performance characteristics

11. Optional external and internal finishes
12. Repairs and making changes.

Following the training you will receive a Certificate, a Certifier’s Pack (including the reports and supporting information needed for hemp homes and commercial buildings to be approved by a Certifier or Surveyor) and other information to support you in your project.

This hands on workshop will give you experience in mixing and installing hemp.

It is the practical component of our training and combined with the 3 x 2 hr zoom sessions covering the theory component, this workshop will complete your AHMC Hemp Construction training.

The main applications for hempcrete in Australia are in new residential construction and retrofitting to improve thermal comfort, energy efficiency or acoustics. However our materials have been used in commercial construction as well.

Our workshops are delivered by experienced trainers. Over the past 4 years AHMC has supplied BCA compliant Hemp building materials and worked with hemp builders and designers and with owner builders, on 180+ residential construction projects in multiple Australian climate zones, including several homes in Tasmania.

Our workshops share this experience. Builds using our materials have also won quite a number of significant Australian energy efficient building and design awards in the past 5 years.

The workshops include hands on experience because learning to mix the Hemp lime material well is critical, as are learning the techniques for installing, to ensure that the outcome is both beautiful and provides optimal thermal and acoustic performance.

Builders and Architects can use the workshop and supporting resources to qualify for CPD points. Please talk to us about this.
