We are a full-service construction company. Our work includes additions, retrofits, and complete builds for residents and commercial clients. Our involvement can range from managing an entire project from initial visioning to completion, to constructing a specific component of a project (such as straw bale walls or earth plaster) to consulting on energy efficiency, and more.
All of our work is based on natural and green building techniques and materials.
Members of the Fourth Pig bring years of experience in natural building including straw bale homes, green retro-fitting, cob, rammed earth, earth bag, post and beam, passive and active solar design and installation, as well as years of adult education experience.

•natural, non-toxic and health-focused materials and design
•life-cycle management of building materials
•local materials sourcing
•solar design for efficient heating, cooling, lighting
