Help with construction in France – requirements & tasks

The scope of work includes:

Installation of micro waste processing
Installation of well and water purification
Installation of reversible ground source heat pump
Installation of solar arrays
Installation of wind turbine
Installation of thermal and electrical stores
Construction of toilet/shower block
Renovation of period property using both modern and traditional methods
Conversion of barn into accommodation

Landscaping and planting of trees
Installation of pool
Clearing of woodland
Cooking/Cleaning

We will be erecting 6 large bell tents in the main field for all of our accommodation, with a large fire pit in the center for evening/communal activities, which will provide sustenance throughout. We could also do some pick-ups from the airport, but not for short stays, sorry 🙁

In return, we ask for 5 days a week at 6 hours a day, of positive teamwork, with the weekend to spend at your leisure. Any previous construction experience would be advantageous but not necessary, also things like a driving license, French fluency, super cook, great personality, etc would help. We are looking for a diverse range of people, to make the experience more enjoyable for everyone. We could also really use some help with a website, marketing, and helping us and any other volunteers learn French and German

Glamping Site Construction – Living

Accommodation: Other
Room type: Twin Bed Private

We will be erecting 6 large bell tents in the main field, this will accommodate all of us, so 2 persons per tent, These tents will eventually be hired out for glamping and are suitable for 4, so good quality and plenty of room inside. Also sharing will be either 2 male or 2 female, unless a couple, in which case we can provide a double bed. Construction of the toilet block will happen within the first couple of weeks, where each tent will have access to private lockable washing and WC facilities.
