About
Aerecura specializes in the art of crafting remarkable rammed earth walls, high performance sustainable homes, and custom rammed earth architectural features across the province of Ontario. We are based in the beautiful counties of Prince Edward, Bruce, and Grey.
Aerecura's vision for the future is that rammed earth becomes a common feature amongst Ontario’s built landscape.
Aerecura will continue to strive for change by encouraging a shift in perspective within the construction industry to a more sustainable, inclusive mindset.
Aerecura is a company built on a strong familial foundation. Rammed earth is a generational building material, one that will last Sylvia’s grandchildrens’ grandchildren, and beyond.
Environmental mission and strategy (ESG)
After building her home, Sylvia and Graham set to work building a new company, Aerecura. Its mission: to combat climate change through knowledge about, and construction of, rammed earth. Aerecura aims to empower those within the home building industry and homeowners alike to be part of the solution to the climate change crisis.
Climate change is the number one challenge today, demanding immediate attention in all aspects of our lives, especially when it comes to how we choose to build. Buildings account for as much as 40% of the world's energy consumption, and are responsible for up to 30% percent of the annual global greenhouse gas emissions. Building intelligently and sustainably is a pivotal part of our collective ability to build a greener future, and a powerful motivation for Aerecura now, and always.
As a woman-owned company, Aerecura emphasizes collaboration and inclusivity, a unique approach within an industry with so few women at the helm. Sylvia’s leadership defines the dynamic approach Aerecura brings to each project. This team based approach leads to fulfilling and successful projects for both Aerecura’s talented craftspeople and their clients.
