Our Story
The Aussie Built team has combined their years of experience in the Australian Outback with the Oklahoma red dirt to develop forming and ramming systems that produce precision rammed earth structures.
Our passion is to "build for a lifestyle and not cost per square foot" — to build a home that functions in symbiosis with its hosts. If it makes sense, why aren't we doing it? No more toxins and unhealthy air. Rammed earth is a truly minimal maintenance structure that works with its surroundings that will stand the test of time.
Love for the environment flows into everything Aussie Built does. From utilizing local soil and natural materials for rammed earth to creating rainwater collection systems that help reduce the use of domestic water. We use our experience, passion and common sense to create beautiful structures that will not only last a lifetime but will leave a lasting impression on all who experience them.
Mick Gower: Our Fearless Leader
Native Australian, Mick Gower, is a true craftsman just like his grandfather, Frank Gower, a journeyman carpenter and master builder who was commissioned to build the entire township of Nangwarry, South Australia. With more than 30 years of living, working and breathing the relationship between earth and structures, it’s not only Mick’s journeyman training origins, or his extensive experience in living off-the-grid, or his many years designing and building in the U.S., it’s the Gower family ethos of authenticity in work, adventure, and sustainability that inspires every aspect of Aussie Built.
