Cost of an Air Dome

Generally prices range:

United States between 10 to 50 dollars per square feet.

Europe between 50 to 250 euros per square meter.

The prices are significantly different between markets due to the different standards for fire safety, energy source, inflation systems and HVAC.

Dome Installation Cost and Timeline:

• Installation: Requires a supervisory team, laborers, heavy equipment, electrician, and HVAC technician. Small domes can be installed in 1-2 days, larger ones may take weeks. Installation cost depends on time and resources used.
• Design and Engineering: Structural and mechanical engineering typically costs around $20,000, depending on local codes and requirements.
• Foundation: Cost varies based on soil conditions and local codes. Example: Hybrid foundation for a 100,000 sq.ft. dome in Michigan may cost $350,000.
• Ongoing Expenses: Utility costs range from $0.50 - $1.50 per sq.ft. annually. Minimal maintenance required.
• Safety: HeroX domes prioritize safety with strong materials and engineering. We typically use Ferarri or Sattler fabrics.

Project Roles:

• HeroX: Provides dome components and consultation.
• Engineers: Structural and mechanical engineers procured by our consultants, others by the buyer.
• Installation Team: Installs dome components; manual labor required.
• Architect, Contractor, Electrician, HVAC Technician: Procured by the buyer for site work, permits, and installation.
• Dome Operator/Maintenance Team: Procured by buyer for ongoing operation and maintenance.

Purchase Process:

1. Scope Discussion: Determine dome size, use, occupancy, timeline, and funding options.
2. Design and Engineering: Full engineering determines dome package scope and cost.
3. Production and Site Work: Dome production begins while site work commences.
4. Transportation: Dome and components transported to installation site.
5. Installation: Completed by expert installers, timeline varies based on dome size and complexity.
