Michael Palethorpe

Michael has over 30 years of experience in project management, managing businesses and projects of all sizes and complexities. He has extensive experience running businesses of all different kinds, including being project manager for SIREWALL USA on one of the 10 largest homes (70,000 sq ft) in the USA, involving features and details that have never been done before in rammed earth.


Michael is in charge of US project consultation including (but not limited to): SIREWALL relationship liaison for US projects, plan review and project specific detail recommendations, soil analysis and project specific mix design, training of local contractors, site managers and crew in SIREWALL means and methods, quality control and quality assurance throughout the duration of projects; this is managed through onsite work inspections at key points in the means and methods process and the management of project efficiencies and excellence throughout the project, to the completion of the project.


Michael is passionately committed to altering how people and the planet are impacted by the buildings we inhabit. 


Joss Krayenhoff

Joss has 20+ years of SIREWALL experience and has been involved in much of the R&D to create and evolve our systems. Starting out as the clean up kid on site and growing through each role in the company, Joss now operates the Canadian branch of SIREWALL and works with the SIREWALL USA core team to help manage the US operations. His life purpose is in creating places that fundamentally shift the way people live and interact with the world. He thinks there must be more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking and is continuing to figure out what that is.


Joss is our in house expert on SIREWALL and supports the US consulting including (but not limited to): Detailed plan review and project specific detail recommendations, mix design review and recommendations, Means and Methods review, consulting on, and troubleshooting challenges that occur during a build.
