For the "Do-It-Yourselfer's"
Building a home couldn't be easier, and not just any home but a home that withstands the forces of nature for a third of the cost or less than previously dreamed of. What I'm talking about is a geodesic home. A home that is not only known for it's unique shape but also for it's uncompromising strength. Unlike conventional homes which can barely withstand an 80 mph wind gust, geodesic home configurations have been wind tunnel tested to exceed 200 mph sustained winds.
Until now it has been very difficult to obtain ALL of the information needed to successfully and confidently build a geodesic on your own. The formulas have always been confusing and often times incomplete. After a lot of frustration, many of those who have ventured on their own have quit shortly after starting, because the panels were not going together like they thought they should, or the domes leaked because of too many miscalculated cuts.
NOT SO!, for the offering from Dy-Lutions. We at Dy-Lutions have taken the extra steps2 needed to not only help you make your dreams come true , but we have done ALL of the work, the math, and even dug through and solved all of those missing equations for you. Whatever diameter house you ask for we'll send you plans with not only each complete design step, but with the most common framing extensions for exterior doorways and windows, so you can add as many as you like when you want to.
Dy-Lutions' design department uses Pro/ENGINEER 3D solid modeling software to provide you with professional drawings of every stage of your dome home. We have diligently detailed every strut, subassembly, and completed dome, to help you take advantage of the materials you've purchased, keeping scrap, and cuts to a minimum. We also show you how to build tooling fixtures1, if needed, to speed up and simplify your cutting and panel building.
We offer a complete Bill of Materials (BOM) of every dome so you will know how much wood, bolts, nails, etc you will need. This is a great convenience since material pricing varies so much in each region of the United States. Why not take advantage of the cost savings in your area. You can email, fax, or hand deliver the BOM to your local hardware store for pricing. This saves you on shipping and handling charges and allows you to take full advantage of your local savings. This option alone usually adds up to thousands of dollars of savings in your pocket.
What the competition is currently offering:
A ?unique connecting hub,? which they only specialize in, that attaches all of the struts together at their appropriate angles and makes ?your? geodesic home become a reality, for a little(?) added cost.
Fact:
Not only do the voids caused by the connectors cause weaknesses within the final roofing that lead to leaks, but by using them you will only have 60% of the strength that you will have in building your own home with the configurations that we'll be showing you in your design plans.
So you may be asking, why spend money on connectors that are inferior and that will end up in costing you more in the long run? Yeah, we came up with that answer too! Our design saves you money by not using special hubs so you gain more strength and durability than if you used connectors.
With Dy-Lutions' designs you are getting:
No fancy connectors to buy to raise the price of your home.
No kits to buy that start off reasonably priced:
- but end up costing just as much as a regular box home with all the things you like.
- By adding two extra doorways and possibly a walkway you would have doubled the price of a kit home.
- that don't take advantage of the savings where you live.
With Dy-Lutions you get down to earth building plans with ALL the guesswork ERASED! We supply you with beautiful professional blue prints with attention to every detail.
Also included,
How to build extensions with confidence!
Without extra costs!, ... simply because you changed your mind,
or you simply wanted to add an extra sliding door, walkway, or entryway.
You can build as many as you wish without degrading the structural integrity of your dome home.
At the same time adding the uniqueness that you desire in your home.

1We already have the tooling fixtures designed which can be built in very little time which are included in the plans. These help simplify your mitered cuts, keeping them accurate, easy, and consistent. As with any building project accuracy in your cuts make the final assembly a snap.
2You don't have to be able to understand the complex geodesic math required in the design of your dome home. We've taken care of that for you. If you have patience and some basic woodworking skills you'll have little trouble in building your own home.
