To learn about the 15', 18' and 20' two frequency domes that Ai has designed for the rebuilding of Haiti, please scroll down to the bottom of this page. An entryway is a structural item (an awning/eyebrow) that extends out from the dome. Under this entryway your locally purchased doors and windows are installed. Each of Ai's stock floor plans vary in the number and location of entryways and dormers (places for single windows or single doors to be installed). Building Options is the general term that we apply to entryways, dormers, skylights, cupola and link. Building Options can add $2,000 to $4,000 on to the price of the basic building kit. Please scroll down this page to see the pricing of the individual Building Options. Ai's stock plans show the location of the entryways, dormers, skylights, etc. If a stock plan does not fit your lifestyle, Ai can modify a stock plan or design a custom plan from your sketches. The stock floor plans can be viewed and printed out by going to this link Stock Floor Plans. Or you can purchase a Planning Kit which includes a 60 page Stock Floor Plan Booklet and a DVD or CD for $9 plus mailing costs by going to this link Visit Our Store.

Second floor window dormers are not available on 22' and 30' domes. Second floor door dormers are not available in the 22', 27', 30', 34' or 60' domes. Skylights do not open and are installed inside the triangular concreted panels. Two domes can be connected by a link.

Screen Dome Kit
Payment for Building Kits and Screen Dome Kits: Building Kit and Screen Dome Kit orders require a 30% deposit and signed Order Form and signed Conditions of Sale for American Ingenuity to schedule manufacturing. The balance, in the form of a cashier's check, is due 14 days prior to shipment. Florida residents, add sales tax plus your counties' surtax. No Credit Card Charges. If the building kit is shipped out of Florida, you do not pay Florida sales tax. The Building Kit Order Form will list the following:
All payments are to be made in USdollars. Delivery and Availability: Once Ai receives your 30% deposit based on your Building Kit with options pricing and the signed Building Kit Order Form and Conditions of Sale, Ai schedules your kit for manufacturing. Allow eight to twelve weeks for manufacturing time. Shipping: Shipping is scheduled after Ai receives the final payment. One semi truck can carry one 30', one 36', one 40', one 45', one 48' kit, possibly two 27' kits, or two 22' kits. A 60' kit requires two trucks. American Ingenuity can coordinate the USA shipping. International clients coordinate their own shipping using a freight forwarder. To learn about importing American Ingenuity's dome kit, please click on Importing. The number of kits one truck can carry can change if the building kit contains four or five entryways, a link and thicker insulation. Entryways and a link take up more space than triangular and riser panels. Once you select your floor plan, Ai can be specific about how many truck(s) your order will take. Each International client hires a freight forwarder to coordinate their container’s shipping and pays their shipping and custom fees directly to the freight forwarder. Ai’s manufacturing costs in Florida are well below the national average, which offsets any long distance shipping expenses. Ai can actually manufacture a kit here in Florida and ship it to Washington state cheaper than we could manufacture it there. Having our manufacturing plant located in Florida is advantageous for shipping since more is shipped in than out of the state, leaving many trucks headed out empty. Ai utilizes independent trucking agencies. American Ingenuity contracts to have these trucks carry your building kit outside Florida for approximately $2.00 to $2.50 per mile per truck from Ai's plant in Rockledge, Florida. Shipping within Florida is a minimum of $800. If your Florida building site is south of our factory, the truckers charge more because they have to drive south before they can drive north to leave Florida. These trucking costs are less than Ai could do with our own trucks because if we used our own trucks, they would have to deliver the kit and return to our factory empty. Shipping costs are paid to American Ingenuity seven days prior to the scheduled shipment date with a bank check. Per mile shipping costs can vary due to fuel costs and travel distances. Click on Shipping to learn more. American Ingenuity's Philosophy: One of the main reasons American Ingenuity is very reputable is that we really try to treat all our customers the same. Our business philosophy and product is unique to the housing industry. Ai believes that each person should pay for only what they need.
As a result of the above philosophy, the American Ingenuity dome shell kit costs about one half less than the shell materials cost for a conventional house or wooden dome or sprayed concrete dome. Dome Building Kit: Ai's Dome Kit consists of all the triangular and riser component panels for the dome shell and panels for one entryway. Each component panel has 7" thick rigid R-28 expanded bead polystyrene insulation (which is comparable to 11" of fiberglass batting); a steel reinforced concrete exterior surface and interior shell wall board. All triangular and riser panels now include Georgia Pacific 1/4" Dens-Deck wallboard on the interior surface of the insulation. The 22' Building Kit component panels consist of 3 1/2" thick E.P.S. To learn more about what is included in the Building Kit, click on Kit Contents. Due to the thick insulation, the American Ingenuity Dome will save you 50% to 70% on your heating and cooling expenses versus a conventional house. To learn more about the advantages of the Ai Dome view the files listed under the menu item, Advantages, located at the top of our Home Page. These Advantages are Energy Efficiency, Strength and Low Exterior Maintenance. American Ingenuity’s dome building kits do not include doors and windows. There is such a variety and varying price points, Ai leaves the doors and windows up to each client to purchase locally. The floor plan you select will determine how many entryways or dormers your dome home will have. Within the entryways and dormers {eye brows}, you or your framing subcontractor installs a vertical wall to frame in what ever standard doors or windows you have purchased locally. Ai specializes in the manufacturing of the special dome kit as a result no interior items are included in the building kit except for the interior shell wallboard that is on each component panel. Ai believes you should not pay shipping on conventional items that you can purchase locally such as: your foundation, plumbing, electrical, framing, flooring, kitchen cabinets, kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, lighting fixtures, windows, doors, etc. To learn more about what is not included in the Building Kit click on Items Not Included. If your Dome Building Kit is shipped outside of Florida, you do not pay Florida sales tax.For information on the 60' dome click on 60'. **The Kit and Option Pricing does not include the costs for the Building Plans, Engineer Seal on the building plans (if needed), Energy Audit (if needed in Florida or California or New York, etc.), 2x4's for the temporary wooden rib system, Hub Deposit, Lifting Spike Deposit, Shipping or Fork Lift rental to unload the truck at your site.
Plans are 33 1/3% off the pricing listed below,if ordered before January 1, 2011
BUILDING PLAN SETS contain all blueprints typically provided with any type of housing and include floor plans, exterior elevations, dome shell section view, top view showing panel placement, floor joist framing plans, structural details, and locations of plumbing and electrical fixtures. The Plans do not include the plumbing, electrical or HVAC diagrams because we have found that those subs like to draw their own diagrams. If your Building Department requires these diagrams, let us know and we will quote you a price. Modified, Stock or Custom Plans:All of Ai's are on this web site. In the Planning Kit is a 60 page Stock Floor Plan Booklet that contains the stock plans printed out for the 22' thru 48' domes. All 60' dome plans are custom. Ai does not keep stock plans printed out as we are continually making improvements. So from the point Ai receives your Building Plan order to the point we mail your stock building plans (with concrete foundation) can be two to four weeks. Allow at least five weeks for modified plans and eight weeks for custom plans. To order the Planning Kit click on the blue button located on our Home Page titled "Visit our Store". If you do not see a plan that fits your lifestyle we can modify our stock plans or Ai can design custom plans for a reasonable fee. To learn more about this service, click on Stock, Modified, Custom. How the plan design process works and plan delivery time: If you do not see a stock plan that fits your needs, what Ai has found works best is for you to sketch out your ideas on a stock plan or on the blue floor planner pages located in the back of the stock floor plan booklet and email the sketches to us or fax them to us at 321-639-8778. After you fax, please call our office at 321-639-8777 and confirm Ai received your fax....correct number of pages, pages legible, etc. Ai does not make in-office appointments to discuss floor plans. Please include your name, address, telephone number and best time(s) to contact you. The plans supervisor will review your sketch, possibly call you with questions and give you a price quote. Once Ai receives payment in full for the Building Plans and the Plans Quote signed, we schedule your building plans for production. Ai will fax or email you two rough drafts that you review and make changes on and email or fax them back to us. After you approve the final draft, we design your structural blue prints and complete your plans. Once Ai starts your modified or custom plans design it can take five to eight weeks to complete.......usually most of the time is taken up between when we send you the draft and when you return it to us. Engineer seal: About half the states in America and all new construction in Florida and California require engineer sealed building plans to obtain a building permit. This seal can be purchased through American Ingenuity. In Florida a 40' dome seal is about $400. In California and western states a seal is $1,200 to $3,000 depending on the size dome and the county you wish to build in. Plus the state of Florida requires a Florida Energy Audit which we complete for around $85. American Ingenuity’s dome exceeds any state's building codes. But the building departments do not know this so they require a licensed engineer certified for your state to review our Building Plans and affix his seal and signature to the structural sheets. His seal and signature means that Ai’s Building Plans comply with your state's building codes. To learn more click on Engineer Seal. Building Plans showing Metal Framing: · If the first floor of the dome is concrete then it is $30 for us to design with steel studs and steel joists for the second floor. · If the dome has a basement or raised first floor then it is an additional $30 to design basement studs and first floor joist with steel. · The cost of metal framing is slightly higher than wood. You should only use metal framing if your subcontractor has worked with it before. · Metal Framing is not more fire proof. In a fire it will deform quicker than wood. Building Plans Payment: Building plans may be purchased with Master Card, Visa, Check, or Money Orders. Plans are shipped free of charge via priority mail. All payments are to be made in USdollars. ___________________ Concrete Domes For The Rebuilding of Haiti For the rebuilding of Haiti, American Ingenuity has designed three small sized 2 frequency domes...15', 18' and 20'.
