Parabellum Constructors makes stabilized compressed earth blocks in Central Texas. We take mostly native soil, add a small amount of Portland cement, and press it into a solid, natural building material.

That simple recipe brings a lot with it. Earth blocks don't burn, rot, or feed termites. They hold steady temperatures, so rooms stay comfortable and quiet with less energy. They're made from local soil with no synthetic chemicals, which makes for healthier indoor air and a lighter footprint. And they last for generations, not decades.

I've worked in residential real estate and construction from several sides, including land, development, building, and operations, in different roles and markets. I first learned CEB construction in 2008 and kept coming back to it. In late 2023 we set up Parabellum in Burnet County, and today we ship blocks to real projects.

If you bought your land for the land itself, pressed earth gives you a chance to build with that dirt, not just on it.

If you're building something that would benefit from a healthier, more durable, and more natural primary building material, we'd love to partner with you on your project.
