We provide comprehensive material development and implementation support by analyzing local bioregional and urban resources to create custom mix designs that meet modern building standards. Our assistance is structured in three key parts for the client, architect, engineer, and contractor:

Part 1: Material Development: Characterization of resources, mix design, prototyping, lab testing, and normative validation.
Part 2: Design Counsel: Detailing, Bill of Quantities (BoQ), Specifications and estimations.
Part 3: Contractor Counsel: Site organization, Tools provision, Training

Reference projects below illustrate the nature of our bespoke material development work, using algae, sunflower pith, earth, quarry waste, construction glass and many more.

We make uniquely bespoke materials. We establish customized production setups, either in our own facility or directly on your project site, tailored to your project's design, scale, and location. We have successfully executed projects across three continents.

The reference projects below offer comprehensive examples of our bespoke production development, showcasing the diverse applications of our expertise, such as moulded earth blocks from local excavation earth and cork-based acoustic plaster. 

We craft your unique designs into products, objects or interior elements in techniques like ramming, moulding, compacting, pouring. 

We prefabricate specific elements for your project integration. 

References show interior objects such as countertops, stools, lamps, table legs, showcasing the variety of ideas we can help you implement.

We offer professional, hands-on training sessions tailored for construction professionals and artisans. These sessions are designed to support the practical application of Léém products and technologies, such as Léém Clay Plaster and Earth Blocks. Our goal is to help your team successfully transition from conventional methods (like gypsum plastering or cement blockwork) to working with Léém materials.

Training can be delivered on your construction site or in our production hall near Tour & Taxis in Brussels. We adapt the content to your team's current experience level and specific project needs.

Beyond these trainings, BC studies also runs a variety of other educational activities. This includes our Focus Workshops: one-day deep dives into specific earthen construction techniques such as rammed earth, clay plasters & paints, or earth masonry.
