You are only as strong as your weakest link and in construction business, your buildings durability depends solely on the quality and above all else unique properties of the material that you use.
To try and express this thought further through yet another proverb, what is an ocean but a multitude of drops, and in your home each single brick represents a drop on its own.
Now, one thing is true, you simply cannot check every brick, every plank and every bolt and screw that goes in your house. What you can do is to select the best building material type for your needs.

Choose wisely
There are a lot of solutions that are considered to be more or less traditional in this business, such as brick and mortar. However, construction with these materials, regardless of how usual and simple it may be, can sometimes be quite expensive.
Luckily there are some cheaper, more eco friendly building solutions, whether your talking about your interior, exterior or garden, that are just ideal for these purposes. This way, you will be able not only to finish your construction quicker but also to help your planet along the way. All of these amazing factors sound almost too good to be true.

Straw Bale Construction
Here is something completely revolutionary and innovative, when the future of construction is in question. Straw bales are cheap, light and reliable material which when combined with mortar gives a completely solid construction solution.
Still, the main reason for people turning more and more to these “alternative” construction solutions is the fear of harmful influences that some of the more common materials such as PVC can have on individuals and the environment.
A Concrete Home
Let’s not kid ourselves, there is nothing more durable, endurable and stable than concrete, or even reinforced concrete. So when building something to last or to be able to withstand any potential catastrophe you simply cannot go wrong if you go with concrete.
The mix itself is very organic since it is made from natural components such as gravel and cement. Still, to protect its surface from corrosion and staining you can always apply concrete sealers on it.
Think locally and make a global difference
Another great way to create a building that is both eco-friendly and budget friendly is to use local materials. The price of transportation of large quantities of construction materials is high and is paid not only in money but in the environmental hazard which it brings as well.
This brings us to the next definition which explains what is an eco-friendly material? Sometimes, the most eco friendly material is the one that exists in abundance on a local level.
House can be made by a number of materials and in a great number of ways and designs, however constructing a home is something completely different. In order for you to make yourself a home, you need to build it with love and care, and to do so in ways which suit you most: financially, aesthetically and above all else practically.
If you can achieve it all and save the planet at the same time, you will reach a notion that is nearly impossible to top.
