EarthBlock to Begin Construction
MONDAY , JUNE 12, 2006 11:36 AM
CINCINNATI, Jun 12, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EarthBlock Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:EBLC) an
international leader in cost effective building technologies and
earthen construction, is pleased to announce that it will begin
construction of two 1,272 square foot homes in Midland, Texas. The
homes will be built on adjoining lots purchased earlier this year. The
homes are anticipated to be completed by early August, 2006.
The walls of the homes will be constructed of compressed earth
blocks. The blocks form walls 12 inches thick and provide a strong,
quiet and very energy efficient dwelling. The blocks are manufactured
on the building site, eliminating shipping and handling of wall
materials. This allows the walls to be constructed more quickly than
traditional wood framed houses. Each house will contain approximately
6,000 compressed earth blocks. While the cost of the homes will be
comparable with other homes in the vicinity, the energy savings and
high quality of our masonry homes should make them very popular.
Gregory Pitner, EarthBlock's President noted, "We are excited to
be building in Midland, an area with little affordable housing
available. We are hopeful that these are the first homes of several
planned developments in Texas. This site is particularly inviting as
it is within easy walking distance of an elementary school."
