The figure illustrates the process by which a straw bale house is constructed.
Overall, it can be seen that the process comprises nine steps, beginning with the demolition of the previous building and ending with the furnishing of the completed house.
The process commences with demolishing the pre-existing building and preparing the ground in order to ensure a solid base for the new construction. The concrete stem wall is then constructed before the straw bales are erected. Once the roof structure has been installed, the external part of the house is finished.
The subsequent step involves continuing work inside the house by installing electrics and plumbing to provide heating, lighting, and water. Simultaneously, the house is also insulated to retain heat effectively. Following this, the structure is inspected by a building officer to ensure that it meets the safety requirements. Then, the decoration process begins, which includes painting, carpeting and putting up curtains. Finally, the house is furnished with white goods such as air conditioning, washing machine, furniture, and entertainment systems. Once the final stage has been completed, the building is ready for occupancy or sale.
