Hemp-based materials for affordable housing projects

Hemp-based building materials are becoming one of the most sought-after items in the construction industry, primarily because of their environmental friendliness. Now these materials are becoming the focal point of an affordable housing project.

The role of Global Hemp Group Inc. in promoting the home hemp industry

Global Hemp Group Inc. is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia and recently developed 664 acres in Hayden, Colorado. The aim of the development is to build affordable housing units from hemp-based materials.

The company plans to do so over a 25-year period and these newly acquired acres will be its third purchase in 2021 for a total of 874 lots. The project is now known as the Colorado Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone Project.

Hemp plants are first grown on the acquired land before the housing project begins. The Global Hemp Group plans to present the hemp houses on 44 hectares.

In a press release shared by the company, they claim the project is a vertically integrated project that seeks to explore the benefits of water resources for growing industrial hemp. They are trying to process and maximize hemp in the on-site production of green renewable building products.

Ultimately, it’s about building affordable, climate-neutral houses that will prove themselves over time. Town Manager for Global Hemp told Craig Daily Press that the project was a master plan to attract businesses.

Hayden Station will close in 2028, which will result in massive tax losses. That’s why this hemp project is so important because hopefully it will replace the source of income that was lost with the closure of Hayden train station.

The impact of the master plan on the community

Aside from the fact that hemp-based buildings are affordable, they also offer a lot more value to the community where the facilities are located. Hemp is growing in popularity, and since companies like Global Hemp Group want to grow the plant locally first, this will encourage residents of the community to start growing hemp.

City manager Mendisco believes the city is lucky because the proposed master plan clarifies how the area will be developed. He also told the press that the company had provided the city with all the necessary documents, with residents welcoming the development.

He added that the project fits in perfectly with the city’s agricultural history. Although it wouldn’t be typical agriculture with popular products like wheat or ranching, hemp cultivation is still referred to as agriculture.

If done correctly, and with the right type of partnership, both the company and the community will thrive. This move will also create many jobs for the community. In addition, communities are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of hemp not only as a suitable alternative to traditional building materials, but also as a profitable crop.

Hemp houses: the future of sustainable building

Environmentally conscious construction companies have long sought a practical and inexpensive substitute for their building materials and thought there was no such option. Little by little, people started doing research, and hemp was always considered.

Today, home builders, weakened by the ever-increasing cost of building materials such as steel, wood, and concrete, have an acceptable alternative with hemp. Construction investors faced with tight margins are struggling to cope with the rise in prices, which is why houses are becoming increasingly expensive.

Now that you understand why Global Hemp Group Inc. is interested in “affordable housing” like hemp, you are guaranteed TWO workable benefits. First, hemp is cheaper to use, and second, it reduces dependence on fossil fuels.

Hemp can be used as a raw material for the following construction phases:

• Floors

• Foundations

• roofs

• insulation

• Shingles

• walls

• cabinets

• Foils

• Block work

• Masonry

Hemp is also a breathable building material; it is mold, mold and pest resistant. It is also an excellent insulator and is available across the country and can effectively fill in any gaps caused by a lack of wood or steel.

For over 80 years, hemp was mistakenly classified with cannabis as a banned drug in America. But that situation changed in 2018 when it was legally and officially separated from cannabis, although it is still in the same industry but not the same. Hemp houses will continue to grow with this recognition and encourage more people to try it out.

What is the goal of every contractor? An environmentally conscious contractor’s dream comes true every time hemp is used. Interestingly, this dream can turn into a community-driven dream because people still don’t know that hemp has a lot of potential in the construction sector.

But the moment one person in the community takes the initiative and builds a hemp house, others will do the same, and from then on there will be more hemp houses in town.

So Global Hemp Group Inc. starts with acres of land, which is a lot of investment in protecting the environment while providing affordable housing. With this investment, the hemp growing industry is getting a lot of attention which is good for business.

Get started on a construction project soon, be like Global Hemp Group Inc. and keep an eye out for hemp material. Then discover ways in which you can use it in place of concrete, steel, or wood. The hemp cultivation trend is here to stay!

Bottom line

The hemp and cannabis industry has long been in the spotlight because of the myriad of benefits it offers consumers. Hemp, in particular, has become a leading material in the construction industry to minimize or eliminate aggressive, environmentally harmful chemicals.

As Global Hemp Group Inc. takes the lead in setting up affordable housing projects, other companies will soon follow suit. Hemp already has a bright future in the construction industry and it’s only a matter of time before it takes over the entire health and safety sector.
