Yet cob is often difficult to permit and can be used in inappropriate ways due to a lack of sound engineering and design information.

Essential Cob Construction is required reading for engineers, architects, designers, contractors, and owner-builders working with this ancient, aesthetically pleasing, low-carbon building material.
