Building Biology Consulting

What exactly is Building Biology?

Building Biology is the study of the holistic relationship between

humans and their living and work environment.

Many, many years ago when the human shifted from hunting to farming, permanent dwellings were necessary to protect the people against the elements, human enemies and predators. The
type of dwelling and the
building materials used were
basically determined by naturally available resources in the region.
Humans were able to plan and build their own dwellings mostly based on their needs and
creativity. Building techniques began to change around the middle of the last century when developed countries began manufacturing artificial building materials and home furnishings at low cost. Because of a
lack of regulations a vast variety of
chemicals, additives and compounds
found their way into our living rooms.
Formaldehyde, fire retardants,
lead and asbestos to just name a few.
Although being able to create all these materials at low cost was an achievement, the human body was not designed to absorb and digest all these new artificial additives. The consequences are allergies, respiratory diseases, rashes, lower immunity and more. Numerous chemicals have been linked to different forms of cancer, lung diseases and neurological issues.

What is a Building Biologist able to teach me that a General Contractor isn't?

In most cases a conventional General Contractor pursues the idea of

constructing a building at the lowest cost possible.

Economical, structural and technical aspects far outweigh any other concerns.

A building biologist also integrates, among others, ecology, medicine, biology,

chemistry, physics, geology, physiology, psychology, sociology, botany, and anthropology.

A Building Biologist puts the health, well-being and comfort of the inhabitants on top of everything else. He includes proven building biology and ecology-based principles to the planning, building,

furnishing stage and to the remodeling of homes, apartments, workplaces and other spaces. 

The principles of Building Biology are summarized under these FIVE topics

Our Consulting Services

Your Home Is

Your Castle...

...and it should be a haven of healthy living 

and a safe place for your family.



Modern homes have become a harbor of harmful chemicals. Building materials are not tested for the health of the indoor inhabitants.



You do not have to sacrifice durability or convenience to build or remodel with safer products. While initial costs can be slightly greater that conventional building, the materials and products we have used and recommend do not have the same negative impact on healthy, indoor air quality nor the environment like many conventional materials. 



Typically these products and materials have a substantial longer lifespan making them well worth the investment and helping you to build a legacy that can be enjoyed for years to come.
