http://www.gramavidya.org/ is an NGO to propogate alternate ecofriendly construction. Mrinmayee is their consultnacy wing. https://www.facebook.com/MrinmayeeGramavidya/ They train mesons on eco friendly construction. They may be able to give you pointers. If you have time, you can also attend their hands on courses. I work for an Engineering college with civil and architecture departments. Our faculty can also give consultation.
