===== Final thought =====

Hempcrete is no longer purely experimental in the U.S. — model building-code appendices, active domestic suppliers and tribal/community pilot factories mean the barriers to affordable hemp housing are mainly organizational, not technical. With prefab panels, local supply, training and smart financing you can build hemp-based homes that are affordable, healthier and lower-cost to operate. Start with a small, well-documented pilot and use that success to unlock grants and lender confidence.

If you want, I can:
* draft a one-page permit packet checklist tailored to a specific U.S. city or state (I can include the exact Appendix BL language and a simple spec sheet), or
* build a sample budget for a 600 sq ft hemp-panel ADU using real supplier lead times and cost ranges.

Which would be most useful right now?
