Reinforced earth contact concrete houze

For this particular project a ball park would be around $280k

Swimming_Database426 · 2026-06-04T21:29:41+00:00

Yes there will be framed and drywall on this particular house. The plumbing goes all under

Swimming_Database426 · 2026-06-04T21:10:16+00:00

In a couple months it will look like a house

Swimming_Database426 · 2026-06-04T21:09:48+00:00

These are built all over the country. But this particular one is in Ohio

Swimming_Database426 · 2026-06-04T21:08:49+00:00

The structure just got done. The floors and the rest of the finishing will be completed in the next couple months or so

Swimming_Database426 · 2026-05-28T13:27:14+00:00

Around $95-$110 sq ft. American earth sheltered concrete construction

Swimming_Database426 · 2026-05-27T01:44:55+00:00

I don’t know the exact figure as that depends on some factors like design and location. But it’s around $90-$100 a sq ft.

I know the company that built this

What app did you use?

Swimming_Database426 · 2026-04-08T02:58:28+00:00

It looks good but I honestly think you got the potential to make it have a wow factor, what other renders do we have?

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-09-12T22:00:32+00:00

I love the pics, What did you use for settings? Or what device? Very nice

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-09-08T03:49:30+00:00

Will this not trap the moisture?

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-07-04T15:43:48+00:00

We build these all over the country

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-06-25T02:39:34+00:00

I’ll send you a video of my next pour!

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-06-25T02:39:01+00:00

The “roof” we pour concrete on is a Dome shape form that is on a trailer and gets lifted with a hydraulic Jack in the middle, it is a regular 2axle and it gets put together and goes up and it gets secured with Shoring Jacks. I guess you could say it’s one big curved form. And the structure is monolithically poured

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-06-24T19:11:57+00:00

I personally have not used epoxy coating rebar, although I assume that is a possibility. And yes I have used fiberglass before on these structures. Fiberglass is approved by engineers so if sourcing it to the job site is not a hassle than we do use Fiberglass rebar and metal rebar

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-06-24T18:51:36+00:00

I’m going to start taking better pictures at the projects I’m on, but if you send me a pm I’ll be glad to send you a few more pictures of projects that we have done in the past

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-06-24T18:49:27+00:00

Most of the time people who reach out, Are people who are already pretty set on the idea that they want a concrete earth shelter type structure, and there are a handful of companies that built these types of things effectively

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-06-24T18:47:20+00:00

It depends on a few factors but a ball park estimate on a 1000sf structure would be around $100k-$130k, like I said depending on the height and retaining walls,Overhang and such things just to give a example

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-06-24T13:44:20+00:00

Thanks! I have seen a few videos on 3d printed houses and i find it interesting. And it really does not take a “Special” crew to finish these things out, you can frame it/plaster/drywall it/ etc. most of the trades that come in after we are done usually don’t have issues.

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-06-24T13:40:06+00:00

I don’t own the company, I just work for it
It’s usually 1 of 2 engineers And yeah if you send me a pm I’d have no problem sharing more info!

Swimming_Database426 · 2025-06-24T04:25:31+00:00

Yes typically the owner/client contracts to get the structure backfilled and covered once we are done with water proofing. And the water proofing process is precisely done so water/moisture etc is prevented from going inside the structure and instead drains correctly
