Our hemp
Construction Course
Have you been considering a hempcrete project?
HempCentral has partnered with the Australian Hemp Masonry Company to offer two part hemp construction courses. HempCentral hosts the second half - a practical workshop at our Queensberry location in Wanaka.
This is the practical component of the Hemp Construction Course. With the 3 x 2 hr zoom sessions covering the theory component, this hands-on workshop will complete your AHMC/HempCentral Limited training, giving you experience in mixing and installing hempcrete.
This is the first workshop of its type in New Zealand. We have just finished hosting our first course in October 2024 and were thrilled to welcome Ben Convery from the Australian Hemp Masonry Company to deliver the course.
Ben, a qualified Workplace Trainer and Assessor, brings a wealth of experience, having led numerous Hemp Building Practical Workshops in Australia.
We use locally produced hemp hurd, and Geobind, the first 100% New Zealand made binder for hempcrete walling.
The workshop includes hands-on experience, both learning to mix the hurd and binder well and learning the techniques for using hempcrete, to ensure that the end result both looks good and provides optimal thermal and acoustic performance.
