      Hello Everyone
      I asked this about two months ago with no reply
      Will anyone share what the square meter or square foot cost of an AirCrete dome in $USD?

      From the standpoint of a "do it your self"
      Anybody?

        @Concrete-Pete Hello! We estimate a cost of $1 per square foot, per inch of thickness. This covers the AirCrete, fabric, and foundation. Hope this helps!

          @Concrete-Pete I made a rough spreadsheet to estimate dome cost. It doesn't include any finishing...

          Just select the thickness, in feet, in the green cells.
          Please let me know if it works.

          **Edit. I updated the spreadsheet to allow selection of values.

              I am designing a Nubian arch aircrete modular dome system. I have very limited resources so I came up with a design which lets me build a "room" to live in and then add "rooms" as needed. I have a solid modeling program which lets me build an exact model and it gives me total cubic inches and other info. I made a spreadsheet using all the data I could glean from the DomeGaia sight and I get this

              This is just the Portland cost. I have not figured out how far the Drexel or Dawn dish soap goes.
