Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, rammed earth construction is legal in Los Angeles, provided it complies with the California Building Code. Custom Green Construction Inc. integrates necessary steel reinforcement and specialized engineering to meet strict seismic safety regulations while maintaining the aesthetic and thermal benefits of natural, stabilized earth walls.
Rammed earth performs exceptionally well in Southern California by utilizing thermal mass to absorb heat during the day and release it at night. This natural temperature regulation significantly reduces the need for air conditioning, lowering energy bills and providing a fire-resistant barrier essential for high-risk wildfire zones.
