| Green Building with Straw Bales Since 1991 |
Welcome to Paja Construction, Inc. - the only New
Mexico Company
to build
completely green houses and walls using straw bale construction
Since our inception in 1991, we
have constructed 64 houses, over 300 privacy walls, and remain
busily working with bales.
Our carefully-honed methods are a result oftens of thousands of hours in the field;the extensive and continuous critique of each project;feedback from other contractors, building inspectors, and homeowners;and the application of today’s most modern building techniques.This exciting building method is well over a century old—yet still feels brand new.
I encourage you to browse our gallery, where you can view a showcase of many houses and walls during all phases of construction. You might also enjoy our how-to section, which takes you on a step-by-step journey through our building methods. Be sure to also check out our current projects and keep up with our progress on each one. Or if you seek information on bale building and the numerous other ‘green’ construction methods we use, check out the About Paja Construction page, where we provide a quick history of who we are and what we do.
And don’t forget, you can always contact us via phone or e-mail. Better yet, come work with us for a few hours or days: we truly enjoy teaching and sharing as we build.
