This home sits on 37 beautiful acres in Harper, Texas and boasts exterior and interior walls made out of lime-stabilized (about 4% lime) CEBs, then finished with a lime plaster.
Our customer, Randy Simmons, built this home out of local dirt, with the help of an AECT 2500 compressed earth block machine!

Great CEB overview given by our own Ryan Runge
Thank you for your interest in AECT compressed earth block products and services. Advanced Earthen Construction Technologies was established in 1989 and has been building quality equipment and providing unparalleled support for the earthen construction industry ever since. AECT's various CEB machines produce anywhere from 240 to 480 compressed earth blocks per hour and are extremely energy efficient, consuming a minimal amount of electrical power or diesel fuel. We have been involved in projects in more than 50 countries around the world and are continually working to make advancements that reduce construction time and labor costs. Through the work of AECT, compressed earth blocks have become a viable building material that can be mass-produced to high technical standards. AECT's portable, self-contained CEB machines allow builders to produce compressed earth blocks locally, reducing cost and carbon footprint for both residential and commercial construction.
Earthen construction has stood the test of time (at least 5,000 years by most accounts). It's hard to argue with a building material that's natural, fire proof, bullet proof, tornado proof, hurricane proof, insect proof, eco-friendly, durable, and overwhelmingly beautiful! CEB construction, made possible through the use of AECT compressed earth block machines, offers a natural, environmentally friendly and inexpensive method of building...and because of the high energy efficiency of the earth blocks themselves, the real savings is in the reduced energy cost experienced over the life of the home.
The AECT compressed earth block system is helping to re-establish earth as a primary building material. We're glad you found us and hope you'll join us in showing that the world's search for a durable, eco-friendly, inexpensive, and beautiful means of construction is over!
