Email RSS Twitter Facebook YouTube  The True Cost of a Dome Home
Conflicting goals  The initial cost of a Monolithic Dome is
usually the same as a custom-built, conventional home of equal
interior finish. If you planned on buying a $100,000 house, you
will probably have to pay $100,000 for your dome home.  However,
the long-term, day-to-day costs of a Monolithic Dome will always
be lower. And the true cost of owning a dome home is
substantially less.  There are two parties when a home is built:
the contractor and the owner. The contractor’s primary goal when
building the home is to make a profit. If it were otherwise,
s/he could not stay in business. The home owner’s primary goal
is to build the best home for the least amount of money.  These
two goals, profit and value, are at odds with each other. The
profit a contractor wishes to make on a home is usually higher
than the actual profit gained. And the owner’s expectations of a
home are always much greater than his or her ability to buy one.
