There are four different types of natural mud-building techniques - Cob, Adobe, Rammed Earth and Wattle & Daub . Cob is the simplest ,and oldest mud-building technique. This is primarily, a mixture of the soil you dig for the foundation, some clay, cow dung, hay, cow urine and lime.

Traditionally, mud structures have a high plinth to prevent water-logging and a sloping thatch or tile roof that extends sufficiently to protect the walls from rain. In many parts of the world, including India, the roof is supported by wooden beams and it is made of thatch or bamboo matting with mud plastered on it.

Mud walls are protected against damage from rain by applying mud plaster, consisting of local soil, or mud collected from village pond, mixed with bhusha (wheat straw) on outer walls, rendering with Cow dung slurry.

A decent cob house ,can be built for anything ranging around $4,000 – $10,000. However the cost can vary depending on the climatic condition, location and the size of the house.


Mud is bad conductor of heat. So it prevents the flow of heat between surrounding and inside.
