Residential Online Evaluator v1.1

This Online Evaluator is a tool to provide you with size and cost estimates for Monolithic Dome Homes. You do not receive any designs or plans with this procedure. Purchase Dome Living: A Creative Guide For Planning Your Monolithic Dream Home during the planning stages of your project. This book contains more than one hundred easy-to-read designs for Monolithic Dome Homes, both large and small.

This evaluator is simply a way for you to get an idea of how much house you can afford. NOTE: These estimates do not include land costs, utilities, landscaping, driveways or sidewalks.

If you would like some guidance on how to take the next step, please read: The Road Home-- First Steps Toward Your Own Monolithic Dome Home. You may submit this evaluation, but you MUST fill out the bottom section of the form.

In most cases, the cost for a Dome Home will not vary much for a single dome vs. multiple domes. When submitting your evaluation to Monolithic, please provide details in the "Comments and Questions" field.
