What does a straw bale house cost?
Just as with any other house, the primary costs of construction are spread across the entire structure; including foundation, framing, roof, plumbing, electrical, and finishes. The use of straw bales does not magically make everything else in the house cheaper, and in most cases, the added labor and finishing of the bales will add around 15% to the cost. Each building must be individually priced in order to accurately assess costs.
