The Alternative Building Company was founded in 1998 to carry out the construction and development of straw buildings in the South West of England.

ABC has completed 10 new straw buildings since its inception and in the process accumulated a valuable body of knowledge and experience.

The company offers a tried and tested design and build service to clients who would like a building that is sustainable, natural, healthy and designed to your specification.

Either as an extension to an existing building or as a new build, our buildings serve a variety of purposes for their owners. These include:-

• House

• Extension containing kitchen, dining and utility room
• Play room
• Extension containing bedroom and library
• Apartment at the end of the garden for non nest flying children (heavily soundproofed)
