Hemspan® is a young company with bold ambitions. We are on a mission to revolutionise and decarbonise the construction industry by combining modern methods, technology, and hemp to produce net-zero carbon solutions.
We're using these methods in our developments, working with our housing partner Pure Eco Homes. Currently on-site at Oak Tree Rise in Burrough Green, Cambridgeshire. Phase 1 is due to complete five hemp homes by the end of 2023, ready to welcome their residents to a sustainable and healthy living environment.
