The journey to the keys

Seven steps from idea to keys

Building a home shouldn't mean coordinating ten contractors. From the first conversation to moving in, one team walks with you, and at every step you know what is happening, how long it takes and what you get.

Questions

Questions about the journey

How long does the whole journey take?

About 9–14 months. Permits and finishing take longest, so we include a preliminary schedule with the proposal.

I don't have a plot. Where do I start?

With the questionnaire and a conversation. We help you assess plots and check whether a dome home can be built on them.

Can I change decisions during construction?

Most decisions are agreed during design. Later changes are discussed separately so you know their cost and effect on the schedule.

Tell us about your dome

Answer a few questions and we will prepare a first proposal.
