RDI, Inc. was started when founder M. Lee Miller discovered
an exciting opportunity to make use of his extensive construction
skills and experience in developing ‘new-old’ proprietary
processes utilizing Adobe and Compressed Earth Building “CEB”
technologies.
Construction in progress—The builders dry stack
the CEB blocks without mortar between the courses. This method
of construction is possible because the dimensional accuracy
of each block is less than 1/64th inch. The wall system is
extremely strong, capable of withstanding a “Minimum”
lateral wind load of 120+ mph and a roof load of 300 tons.
