Cob is made of materials that can be prepared locally and cost effective. The other main wall material, mud bricks, is contrasted against the cob as a chance to learn more than one method of construction in one building. Space between the cob and mud bricks is to serve as corridors that creates more shading in the region of tropical climate. Abundant openings should be useful for ventilation picking up the prevailing wind when open. Clearstory windows on the north side is also for the natural light decreasing energy use for lighting. Hollow bricks are used at the south side corridor where it’s not necessary to be enclosed. The ceiling is set high so that the hot air can rise to keep the area cool. The total estimated budget including local labor is $9,440.
Budget
Walling Bricks ( $.20/brick) 1200 x $.2=$240 Heavy Wood beams $2/linear foot 152ft x $2=$304 Framing Lumber $1/linear foot $499
Foundation Concrete Gravel sold by truck trips $100/trip Sand sold by truck trips $60/trip Cement $11/bag $1437
Finishing Tiles & Mortor $1500
Roofing Zinc Roofing $3000
Miscllaneous Doors $100 Windows $700
