RE: Eco-Build Workshop Challenge Days 1-3. "Build a Tiny Earthship in 2 weeks on a $3,000 budget with 30 unskilled volunteers!"

in #homesteading7 years ago

This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Are $3,000 in U.S. dollars? Do you mind itemizing how this money is used? I am considering building one in the future. Thanks!

thanks! the $3,000 is in USA dollars yes..
in terms of the break down im afraid the best i can do is give a more general breakdown as it normally is. Each project is quite different and since this was not a house that would be lived in it would be better to give general numbers anyways

so! since your decisions and choice will dictate a lot of the real numbers.. the best i can say is:

  • the roof will cost around 30% of the total cost unless you choose a very eco and cheap option.
    -. the tyre work and main walls will cost around 20% of your total budget.
  • The finishing may cost 50% or more depending on your choices.. It includes everything such as electrics, plumbing etc.

These figure can vary wildly depending on what you build and where you build..

Awesome! Thank you so much for the breakdown of the cost, which gives me a general idea where to spend and save money. Wish you the best in all your future projects!
