Earthen Construction Techniques (2 days)
Introduces participants on understanding soil and its application through hands-on training sessions while constructing spaces using stabilized and un-stabilized earth construction techniques.
Earthen Construction Techniques (2 days)
This training program provides an introduction to the use of Earth / soil as a construction material. Exposure on the Laboratory tests involved while constructing with soil is being demonstrated followed by hands-on sessions facilitated by master artisans on three stabilized construction techniques and three un-stabilized construction techniques.
During the hands-on sessions the participants get a live experience of the construction process. They also understand the role of implementers i.e. the building artisans.

We do not encourage this, except for genuine cases, as we have to plan the training program days according to the number of participants and last minute confirmations are difficult to manage.
Do you provide accommodation during the training program?
No we do not have a staying facility, but we can guide participants on places where they can stay according to group size and budget.
Do you provide transportation facility during the training program
Not always as it depends on the group size and the location of stay.
Who are the faculties conducting the training program?
Our training team is a group of technical professionals and master artisans with 20+ years of experience in the field.
What is the usual timing of a training day?
Usually the training day starts around 9:30am -10:00am and ends by 5:30pm – 6:00pm.
Do you provide food & beverages during the training program?
Yes we provide lunch and tea (twice) during the training program.
Is there a particular dress code during the training program?
No particular dress code but we suggest participants to wear loose and comfortable dresses along with shoes during the hands-on sessions as they have to work.
