==== 1) Pick the right technical approach (what hemp product to use) ====
* Hempcrete as in-fill on a conventional frame — most common in the U.S.: a timber frame carries structural loads and hempcrete (hemp hurd + lime binder) fills walls for insulation, moisture buffering and thermal mass. This approach avoids the low compressive strength problem of hempcrete as a structural material.

* Precast hempcrete panels or hemp blocks — factory-made panels/blocks speed construction, cut labour, and standardize quality (helpful for financing and scaling). Several U.S. firms produce hemp blocks and pre-cast panels.
