[Greenbuilding] need help pricing out a stud frame wall versus straw bale

[michael hollihn]

hello all
i am a natural builder in bc, canada.
i build timber frames with small-scale selection logging families from the
areas where the client lives.
the wall systems i am gaining experience with are straw-bale, light-clay,
rammed-earth, and log.
i have two clients curious about straw bale but would like to see price
comparisons of straw versus 2x6 stud frame.
does anyone have this information?
if not, once i make this spread-sheet showing all the variables, i will be
happy to share it.
for now, if anyone can help with pricing out 2x6 stud frame wall systems, i
would be very happy to share what i am learning also.
blessings
