◆Multi-award-winning since 1989
Earth, Shaped to Last.
For over 35 years, Rammed Earth Constructions has built Australia's most distinctive rammed earth walls, bringing timeless beauty, exceptional strength and lasting performance to homes, galleries and landmark public buildings.
◆Who We Are
Raw earth, shaped into striking architecture
For more than three decades, Rammed Earth Constructions has shaped raw earth into some of Australia's most striking architecture. From country homes on the Sunshine Coast to award-winning galleries and national-first commercial developments, we build solid, monolithic rammed earth walls that are as enduring as they are beautiful.
Every wall we build is unique, formed from carefully selected and tested earth, compacted by hand and machine, and left to stand as its own finished surface. No render. No paint. Just earth, engineered to last for generations.

What Our Clients Say
We had a vision of how rammed earth would complement our rainforest setting, and at the same time turn a badly designed house into a beautiful functional eco-friendly house. Rammed Earth Constructions worked with our design to create our dream, their efficient and hard-working team patiently undertaking the difficult task of ‘adding on’ to an existing building.
We are extremely happy with the results. Each wall is like a piece of art in itself and we never get tired of gazing at the subtle patterns and colours in the walls in different lights. It is a complete joy every day to live in this house, and much of that is due to the rammed earth walls.
John Oliver and his team at Rammed Earth Constructions built my house and they did a sensational job! It was a complex construction with nine different roof structures intersecting with each other and built on a fairly steep site with difficult access. We used a variety of materials, including rammed earth, in the exterior and interior in not so usual ways and that made the job more challenging. Professional, calm, organised, a pleasure to work with. The result: a HIA Award-winning home, and a builder we now call a friend.
Rammed Earth Constructions undertook the construction of rammed earth walls to the award winning Garangula Gallery. The project was a significant undertaking with rammed earth being featured predominantly throughout the design. The Rammed Earth Constructions team certainly lived up to their preceding reputation and the expectations of the entire Project Team and the Client.
They willingly worked with us to specify and prototype the material and the process and consistently maintained a high level of quality from the beginning to the end despite being hundreds of kilometres from home for a considerable period of time. The result is a most remarkable example of the beauty and versatility of rammed earth.
How a house is built is as important as how it looks on paper. Who you engage as builder is a crucial factor in obtaining the house of your dreams.
It is the builder who translates the drawings of the architect into walls and windows, roof and floors and rooms. The builder needs to be planful, organized, diligent, and attentive to all manner of detail. Our builder, Rammed Earth Constructions, displayed these qualities in all aspects of the construction of our house, while maintaining a harmonious relationship with us and our architect throughout all the stages of the project.
