Earthship Biotecture guides clients through the planning and permitting phases of Earthship construction. We have decades of experience navigating the municipal building department regulations. We help clients understand the building process from choosing an appropriate site and sourcing recycled materials to selecting efficient appliances and maintaining their Earthship systems. Our Project Coordinator put together a general guideline for the clients and students to fill out as a first step towards building their Earthship.

We will use the information provided to proceed with the permitting and start staging the core requirements for a successful build.
