Good morning, Thank you very much for your videos. They are great. Would it be possible for you to share with me the list of materials you had to buy to build your formwork?
Hi Hafiz, I’m really loving the vids and very much interested in learning more about rammed earth. Do you provide any short training courses or site visits to gain more info? Many thanks
Shalom , Salaam Alaikum, I live in the US, I’ve watched your video at least 5 times, why, I want a rammed earth home on the continent! I also want to learn how to build one! Thanks so much Mena..
Our walls are 300mm thick. Formwork frames are made from metal sheeting ~2-3mm thick with a Marine board on the inside. The forms are 2.4meters long and 60cm high. The forms are placed and tied together using tie rods.
Hi Hafiz, Is there a binder (example cement mortar between the foundation )and the rammed earth wall? If not what stops the wall from slipping off the foundation?
We have a movie about the foundation posted earlier. No, there is no cement binding. We however have rebars (iron rods) inserted in the foundation sticking out about 80cm.
@@l.e.sparklesfkaelliesparkl5875 internal walls don't need the rods. Even external walls don't need them to stand. It depends on your foundation design. Most people don't support the use of rods in the walls but that's very much arguable.
Hi Meena, it depends on the type of forms you use. Mostly setting up the forms takes the most time. Besides that, ramming by hand is also slower than by a pneumatic tamper. By hand tamping, it takes ~5-6 hours to make a 2meters long by 2.4 meters high wall. We were also mixing by hand as you can see in the videos and that is also slow. That all adds up to the 5-6 hours. It can be much faster if you are using machines.
Hi, very nice work - how does one get in touch with you? I am building on and want the rammed earth wall as part of the gate and frontage. do you have email contact, Facebook or insta?

Nice hafiz.

@@HafizAbass thanks a lot 🙏
How many bedrooms does this property have.And how much is it costing to build.

@@HafizAbass is this for every single wall including internal walls as well?

When you are building at an earthquake prone area then it's advisable to use some reinforcement.
Thanks
How long does it take to construct a rammed earth home?
Hi Meena, it depends on the type of forms you use. Mostly setting up the forms takes the most time. Besides that, ramming by hand is also slower than by a pneumatic tamper.
