We have been researching different types of building methods we can use for our buildings at the village in Cebu. We are going to use a method of building developed by David South of www.monolithic.com.
The homes and buildings are built with concrete using a large balloon (airforms) covered with rebar then covered with concrete. The buildings can withstand typhones, earthquakes, fires ect.
We will build the buildings the ministries need and also use this same method to provide homes for people
that don't have a home. We plan on building villages through out the Philippines. We will find land and develop it for this purpose. According to the united nations an ideal sized home
would be 350 square feet, we can build these homes for about $800 not including plumbing, interior, or electric.
The homes will be better then the small nipa huts the people are living in now. When
storms sweep through the Philippines these little bamboo huts are destroyed and offen kill the occupants. We can do better by giving them a concrete dome home .
We will need 3 ecoshell airforms, a 20 foot (315 sq ft) for $2300, a 30 foot (750 sq ft) for $3950, and a 40 foot (1250 sq ft) for $8260.
Each airform can be used to build 100 homes. As soon as our land is paid for we will start building the first 2 homes for the kids, a 40 foot dome 1250 square feet.

In the month of October I went to Italy Texas to attend a workshop and
receive a certificate for building concrete domes
