At the heart of Hempscape is a long-standing commitment to better building materials, regional resilience, and grounded innovation. That commitment starts with founder Andrew Kavasilas, a quiet force in Australia’s hemp industry with decades of hands-on experience in cultivation, advocacy, and supply.

Andrew began working with industrial hemp in the late 1990s, among the first in Australia to grow under official permits. Since then, he’s been deeply involved in shaping policy, championing the legalisation of hemp seed foods, and developing low-THC cultivars tailored to Australia’s climate.
Through Hempscape, he brings this deep field knowledge into practical supply. Sourcing certified materials, supporting local builders, and helping natural construction scale responsibly across Northern NSW and Southeast QLD.
More than just a supplier, Andrew has consistently worked at the edge of research and regulation. His work with Southern Cross University on hemp genetics and his long-time role in national advocacy continue to inform the way Hempscape operates: grounded, credible, and future-facing.
