I have a question about pricing. Are straw-bale homes more convienent price-wise? Obviously there is no exact pricing comparison but just to have some type of idea.

Thanks sincerely!

John,
Straw bale homes are typically more expensive to build than a conventional home for a number of reasons including increased labor costs and the cost of plaster and other subcontractors. The long term savings of a bale home are fantastic and that is where their amazing value comes in year after year!
