We already have photographs. Every one of us has a phone full of beautiful walls, and they haven't moved a single underwriting guideline.

Our latest post is the afterword to our three-part history of h**p-lime construction and it's not history, it's an ask. USHBA is building a confidential, members-only record of American h**pcrete buildings: the permit path, the wall assembly, the appraisal, the financing, the insurance outcome and yes, the refusals too.

Five permitted buildings. Zero published insurance or appraisal data in this country. That's the gap we're closing, one address at a time.

🌿 DID YOU KNOW?

H**p can be transformed into wood-like materials for applications traditionally made with timber.

Unlike trees that can take decades to mature, industrial h**p is a fast-growing annual crop that can be ready for fiber harvest in roughly 120 days under suitable conditions.

Its fibers can be processed with binders, heat, and pressure to create dense materials that can be cut and shaped like timber, opening up another practical use for this versatile crop.

From field to furniture, h**p offers a whole new way to think about wood.
