What Americhanvre does

Americhanvre is a U.S.-based hempcrete contractor and materials supplier operating primarily from Pennsylvania, founded by Cameron McIntosh. The company delivers a vertically integrated stack that includes turnkey hemp-lime installation services, supply of hemp hurd and proprietary binder, the EREASY mechanized spray system, hands-on training programs, and consulting. Its served market spans residential clients, custom-home builders, and a small set of commercial and light-industrial projects distributed across at least eight states (Pennsylvania, Vermont, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, Washington, and Texas).

The firm's core technology is the EREASY Spray System, developed in partnership with EZG Manufacturing, which mechanizes the historically manual hemp-lime application process. Mix formulations are backed by ASTM C518 thermal performance testing completed in March 2023, and Americhanvre contributed technical work that supported the acceptance of a hemp-lime appendix (AC449) into the 2024 International Residential Code — a regulatory milestone that materially de-risks hempcrete specification in U.S. residential construction. The company also publishes educational content (Hempcrete 101, Spray-on Hempcrete Workshop) and operates a mobile demo unit ("Hemp House on Wheels") to shorten the sales cycle.

The business model is a mix of project-based installation contracts (typically residential and small commercial), materials and equipment sales (hemp hurd, binder, EREASY hardware), and fee-based training and consulting. Go-to-market is founder-led and content-driven, with the firm's profile as a founding board member of the U.S. Hemp Building Association reinforcing inbound demand. Customer base is highly fragmented across individual project sites rather than anchored to any single large enterprise buyer, and the company operates with a small (1–10 employee) team.
