Geodesic Dome Homes are kit homes with advanced alternative housing technology. Our concrete dome house plans have flexible exterior design and the latest flexible interior design. |
GEODESIC DOME HOMES ADVANCED HOUSING TECHNOLOGYHousing technology has changed very little since framing replaced the log cabin. Modifications that have been made to improve the efficiency and strength, also increased cost. We applied some American Ingenuity to the geodesic dome home, designed an all new component building system utilizing advanced kit home construction technology and developed a superior modular home plan without increasing the kit home's prices. Dome Building Kit Contents: American Ingenuity's Building Kit contains one entryway and all of the component panels (four foot tall risers and triangles) you need to assemble the basic dome shell. The floor plan you select will determine how many more entryways and dormers will be included with your building kit. The component panel includes the seven inch thick R-28 insulation. On the exterior of the insulation is ½” to ¾” thick steel reinforced concrete and on the interior of the insulation is ¼” Georgia-Pacific wall board. Onsite the kit is assembled by concreting the entryways, dormers, cupola, link and seams between the panels. You do not concrete over the entire dome. For the interior shell finish, fill the seams between the wall board with tape and joint compound; then paint. The component panels do not come with any paint on them. We do not add any color to the concrete. On site you concrete the seams between the panels so if we painted the panels or added color to the concrete, the panel concrete would not match your painted seam concrete. The concrete shell is painted after the entire kit is assembled. The paint should include a concrete primer and two coats of good quality latex paint. The dome can be painted any color, tan, green, blue, etc. preferably a light to medium color to reflect the sunlight. Our dome building kit does not include doors and windows. There is such a variety and varying price points, we leave that up to each client to purchase locally. The floor plan you select will determine how many entryways or dormers you will have. Within the entryways and dormers {eye brows}, you or your framing subcontractor installs a 2x4 wall to frame in what ever standard doors or windows you have purchased locally. No interior items are included in the building kit other than the shell wall board. We believe you should not pay shipping on items you can purchase locally such as: plumbing, electrical, framing, flooring, kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, lighting fixtures, etc. Dome Finished Costs: The finished costs on the domes depends so much on where you live, what the labor costs are in your area and what price points you select for your windows, doors, cabinetry, flooring, lighting fixtures, etc. You can ask at your local hardware store or ask a local contractor what the finished price per square foot is running for a conventional house in the neighborhood you plan to build in. That is what it will cost to finish the domes (if you do no labor yourselves), because everything in the interior is standard whether it is a conventional or dome house....plumbing, electrical, lighting fixtures, bathroom fixtures, flooring, kitchen cabinets, windows and doors, etc. is the same. Basically you end up with a super-energy efficient, super-strong home for about the same price as a conventional house. |
FLEXIBILITY OF OUR MODULAR HOME FLOOR PLANSYou can select standard entry ways, high profile entry ways, add window dormers to either the first or second floor and top it off with a cupola with a modular home kit. Entryways can also function as a balcony for the second floor. A patio or screen dome will add new dimension to your home. This balcony, serving the second floor Master Bedroom , provides a romantic seating area or your personal space. We only put a few of the stock plans on our web site. In the Planning Kit is a 60 page Stock Plan Booklet that contains stock plans for the 22' thru 48' domes. If you do not see a plan that fits your lifestyle we can modify our stock plans or we design custom plans for a reasonable fee. What we have found works best is for you to sketch out your ideas on a stock plan or on the blue floor planner pages in the stock floor plan booklet and email them to us at [email protected] or fax them to us at 321-639-8778. Please include your name, address, telephone number and best time(s) to contact you. Either Michael or the plans designer will review your sketch and call you with questions and a price quote. Once we receive payment in full for the Building Plans, we schedule them for production. We will fax you rough drafts that you review and make changes on and fax them back to us. After you approve the final draft, we design your structural blue prints and complete your plans. |
