Schedule reroof projects. Re-roofs often end up being Spring and Fall, even winter, care taken to protect finished home from damp. Call ODI. We are hearing from 1980's dome owners about a re-roof! Often a cupola added in the process.

We are enjoying an increase in people calling to learn more about building domes. Many have yet to begin the search for land, first on the "to do" list. A 50x100 lot is enough land; look for the area, or State and price (high now, going higher) that works for you. We do a better job of designing the dome (no charge for a sketch) with rooms you want, oriented to view, sun and access to the road.
The best value is using a lower level (yes or no), for garage (yes or no) then chose the dome diameter. It is a good idea to have plans drawn well ahead of construction, meaning, find land that might work and call us. OK to do a sketch on more than one potential site.
Our $15 catalog package or a call to our project advisor gives enough information to get to "how much does it cost to build". We base the per square foot cost on your area. When we know more, like foundation and HVAC system, upgrades from builder basic (carpet/vinyl on floor and laminate on countertops) minus anything you have skill, time, tools and willingness to do we can get closer. However, a planning number, like $100 a square foot (calculation ease), can be used now and includes the cost of the kit (often 30-50K) like knowing truss cost on a rectangle home.
Get land selected, (not necessarily purchased) call and describe the potential site, (north, south, east, west) for view, "front" of property and access to the road. What you want in terms of rooms in a, 1-2-3-4,000 sq. ft. home. Building a home, even as only the owner developer is a detailed process. We assist you to be successful; the outcome is gorgeous space.
For builders or owners wanting to develop investment projects, we assist with identifying popular plans that suit your market (#B/B), discuss scope of work and answer construction sequencing questions. Kit costs include skylights, framing for, yet not the windows and doors. We can include panels for the lower level when above grade. Ask for a computer sketch, to scale for a lot(s) in your subdivision.
It is generally more convenient and cost effective to purchase floor joists and framing material for the interior to kitchen cabinets and floor coverings locally. We are pleased to let you know what is included in our panelized product.
Before we take money to draw plans, we assist in determining a workable budget for the whole project based on a sketch and choices you make, whether a builder does everything or you contribute. Plans that suit you and your site (custom) are as reasonable as other's stock plans as often they are created from elements that already exist. When the plan fits you, your land and budget, you are more successful in attracting a lender, builder and completing a successful project. State specific engineering and heat loss calculations are provided when required.
Request new plans to review:
Many are evolved from loved plans with choices as to openness and location of rooms, laundry, "front" and garage entrances.
Kitchen as "heart" of home in the 35', 39', 45' and 50' dome size w/ or w/o lower level for living/garage
Community Space to small residences.
Many new plans include a separate living space for another generation, guest rooms or group living.
