The purpose of this blog is to teach what natural building is, why you should do it, and how you can pull it off.

About Mark:

Hi, I’m Mark Plemel, the writer of Learn Natural Building. I’m an engineer turned natural builder who wants to teach others what I know about natural building. Learning, building and nurturing are my passions. The first two I can get plenty of building natural homes, and nurturing budding natural builders through this blog is how I can use natural building to get a dose of my third passion. My interest in natural building began in 2015 and that’s when I began learning about it, but it wasn’t until 2019 that I left my engineering job to become a professional natural builder. I will teach you what I learn as I learn it – giving you a learner’s point of view.
