Natural Building Network

The Natural Building Network was founded to help move Natural Building from "the Fringe, to a Force". The Natural Building movement is growing and NBN is taking a leadership role in promoting sustainable, renewable living, legalizing sustainability and supporting those working in the movement worldwide.

The Natural Building Network provides a place where the curious, interested and motivated can find skilled help and accurate and up-to-date information, and where Natural Builders can gather to share ideas, announce events and opportunities. Here you can find a listing of trained builders, contractors, teachers, workshops or skilled volunteers near you with whom you can build, learn or collaborate.

Founded in 2005, our charter members include pioneers in the Natural Building movement and non-professionals with a passion for ecologically sound and fundamentally safe ways of living. Our members come from all walks of life but share a care for our planet. We are teachers, artists, doctors, community leaders, professional builders, owner-builders, engineers, architects, designers, lawyers, contractors, international development workers, and more. We share an interest in seeing Natural Building become a safe, beautiful, renewable and common sight in our modern landscape.

NBN is at the forefront of the Natural Building movement. We are helping to facilitate Natural Building guilds throughout the world; we are working to create effective connections between Natural Builders, building officials and policymakers; soon, we will have technical data for engineers, architects, contractors and subcontractors; 10% of our funding to supports low income projects and builders; we are ready to help builders connect and mobilize in the event of natural disaster. .
