    The document discusses different types of foundations and wall bases that can be used for wattle and daub construction. These include wood columns embedded in concrete foundations, concrete block walls with a concrete filling, and cyclopean concrete foundations. It also describes traditional, conventional, and prefabricated panel approaches to the wattle and daub structure and filling. Traditional uses wood or bamboo poles filled with earth and straw between bamboo strips. Conventional uses a wooden frame with cane or bamboo poles fixed with wires and nails. Prefabricated panels have a sawed wooden frame filled with interwoven battens that form self-supporting walls.

    TYPES OF WALL BASE & FOUNDATIONS

    The type of material used for the foundations will depend on the availability of
    material, its cost and implementation time. The minimum width of the foundations will be
    40cm.Nevertheless it is advisable to use a ratio 1.5 times the width of the wall.

    STRUCTURE & FILLING - Traditional Wattle & Daub
    Traditional wattle and daub consists of a structure made from cylindrical wood or
    bamboo filled with earth and straw inside a double structure made from bamboo strips or
    thin canes.

    STRUCTURE & FILLING - Conventional Wattle & Daub
    This type of wattle and daub is a more modern version of traditional wattle and
    daub and is the most widely used. It has sections of cane or bamboo poles fixed with wires
    and nails to a sawed wooden structure which enables a better finished assembly.

    STRUCTURE & FILLING - Prefabricated Panels
    The "Quincha" prefabricated panel is a sawed wooden frame, filled with interwoven cane or
    bamboo battens, inserted in such a way that they are self-anchoring. After being assembled these panels are
    walls which will be plastered with earth and straw mortar with an initial layer and then a thin finishing layer. The
    advantage of prefabricated panels is that they enable the panels and the structure that will carry them in the
    wall to be made at the same time, thus reducing assembly time
