Ecoshells are strong structures that can withstand natural disasters, fire, termites and rot. In underdeveloped areas with hot climates, EcoShells make affordable, low maintenance, sturdy housing. see ww.monolithic.com/topics/ecoshells for more info.

Framed with rebar it is thickness & size dependent. Following the usual rules of 6 to 11 inch gapping in the rebar.

I scrolled down on the comments and saw most people were concerned of price well I think if you can cut down on hiring tradesmen that's a Hugh saving and this allows for most of that ,cement perlite vermiculite are not that expensive ,if you know what your doing get good advice ,for the average person , its a good chance it will work compared to a conventional house

Hi, congratulations for your great videos. These houses are not very cold or very hot in summer, since they are of pure concrete? thank you.

i like the idea, im just not entirely convinced its affordable, how much does it cost for all the steel and concrete to get it done for like just the most basic one, i would love to hear some prices, or if anyone can tell me where i can look

The one in the video is MUCH cheaper than a normal house. However it is for 3rd world. The monolithic dome costs about the same as a custom built stick house.

This is very nice indeed! Is there any other types of steel framing available? I'm envisioning a two story, say 65 to 70 feet wide, with rain fly in the front, and surrounding balcony/water catcher to collect rain water. Could you show more about how they are framed inside? I saw a geodesic dome in Virginia covered with Poly foam, 8" thick (so were the doors) with only a pot belly stove in the center that heated the whole single room, prolly 70 feet in diameter.It was tough, but flammable

Way too much for one of these. Watch more videos. Building these in a developing nation, at least the shell, can be as little as $5,000-$9,000, depending on size. The costs are then a matter of how much stuff you want to put into it, and how creative you want to be. Do your homework, and lots of it. Let the pros put up the shell, plumbing and wiring. If you can do some of the finish work, like painting, installing floor tile, etc., then costs can be reduced. I’m building a medium-size house for my retirement home, with a smaller dome for a party room detached from the main dwelling. These jewels are weatherproof, earthquake proof and very energy efficient.

How much you've contributed to the quality of life for so many, and such a great solution with domes! You should get a Nobel Prize! I'm also wondering why you don't use aircrete, so much lighter and very strong, and it's insulating properties to help keep the homes cool in such a hot and humid climate. You don't show how electrical wiring goes in and plumbing for kitchen sink and shower.... I'm thinking they'd prefer non-communal restrooms but it keeps the budget down and provides for many more homes. Thanks for your great work and for sharing this video. I'd like to build a dome like this as I'm low budget Senior Citizen living in a big high-rise bldg. My own home would be nice. I think aircrete could cut that $25,000 way down. See Steve's Aircrete Dome he built for I guess $9,000. It looks like he interconnected 3 domes, very nice. The aircrete dome people noted a 1,000 sq ft 3 inch thick aircrete dome would cost $4,000 but said nothing about plumbing and wiring etc.

casey alexy This type of construction is going on now, all over the world. It is the new paradigm for building construction. After the F5 typhoon Yolanda wreaked havoc in the Philippines, there are now whole villages going up using the monolithic dome construction, because they are typhoon and earthquake proof. They don’t rot, termites don’t eat them, and they can be gorgeous on the inside. They can save you 50% on energy costs. No shingles, little construction waste, and they go up relatively quickly.

T. B. The insulation properties, with spray insulation under 3 inches of shotcrete applied from the inside will cut heating and cooling costs by 50% or more.

I have a way to build without the air form. After you build your steel cage you pile cement mix on it by hand. The proof lies on many videos showing third world mud house construction techniques. As the roof curves in, you're gonna have problems but I can solve that with little resources....twigs, grass what have you.

Their 12' x 18' x 10 ft high shells are $12,000 on special. Not very competitive with traditional small building prices, compared to steel for example, which requires only assembly with no special gear or tools.

@@protonneutron9046 You're a strange little person , getting excited about something they have no experience with. Steel framed and clad houses don't use rebar, except in a foundation. They unbolt, and can be transported anywhere, and re-erected with a drill. They are half the price of these concrete items. The fact that the blow up balloon used for forming Eco-sheels is not a benefit. Steel structures are self framing, need no formwork, are termite proof, fireproof etc. Try and get a grip
