CobBauge 1
- The CobBauge Project team (based in UK and France) set out to run a long term project to understand Cob (Bauge in French) and to promote its use in the 21st century.
- They sought Interreg funding to support the project.
- Interreg in turn required the team to prove the viability of a traditional earth based building material and method during the first year to prove its technical performance capability, before releasing it with extra money for the remaining years.
- The team have succeeded in the first challenge and and now funded to progress with the remaining 4 years.
- The Phase 1 final event in December 2018 set out a plethora of evidence of the materials capability and the methods capacity to be a credible method of construction, compliant with the building regulations and numerous other advantageous properties.
Cobbauge 2
- The Phase 2 workshop in July 2019 started an interactive process of involving stakeholders in brainstorming the detailing of the future Cob construction.
- Phase 2 launch event 3rd September 2019 @ RICS London HQ

- CobBauge Tool is based on Life Cycle Analysis results of the project.
It enables the user to:
- Find the construction products based on their applications
- Find the construction products based on the user’s preferences
- Compare them mutually and to conventional products
- Filter the products based on the user’s location
- Calculate the delivery to site footprint and show the results on the graph for better and easier understanding of the users.
