Learn how to build your own Aircrete Dome

At a time when more people are homeless than ever before, and the dream of owning a home has long become but a pipe dream for the majority of people, Aircrete domes are the shining light at the end of an Aircrete tunnel!

This simple construction method uses mostly water, foam and cement. This somewhat simplistic recipe, however, provides us with an end product that is not only beautiful, but won’t burn, is vermin proof, waterproof, cyclone resistant, fully insulated, AND you can “do it yourself”. Not only that but it is as cheap as chips to build.

Pioneering Affordable Homes

Empowering You to Build Your Own Aircrete Dome

The amazing 2 day introductory workshop is now available online with video tutorials of everything that is taught during a live training.

 It includes a full colour, downloadable and printable manual and lifetime access to all of the training videos to view and review, at your leisure.

Since learning the techniques overseas several years ago, Kathy has been sharing the skills with hundreds of inspired and up-and-coming “Domies” at the learning centre in SE QLD.

Her teachings have culminated in one of the students achieving the first ever Council approved, 90m2 Aircrete dome home in SE QLD, which is now fully complete.

that we are aware of

Three new council-approved Aircrete Domes are being built in Australia.

“My fervent desire is to see this method become more mainstream and known to Engineers, Certifiers and Councils alike, and to provide a real and affordable ‘DIY’ opportunity that empowers people to build their own affordable dream home.”

“What really excites me about what we’re doing with the Aircrete Dome Academy is that we’re not just teaching another building method – we’re completely flipping the script on how families think about housing.”

What Makes This Different

So what’s different about this compared to everything else out there?

Firstly, I learned this directly from Domegaia in Mexico – I was literally the first person in the world to sign up for their very first workshop. But to attend their course (from Australia anyway) costs thousands of dollars, and you have to travel internationally to learn it.

I’ve taken that same knowledge and made it accessible to Australian families for only $499 AUD. And you don’t need to be in Australia – you can learn from anywhere in the world.

You learn the same techniques, the same skills, but you can do it from your own home, and in your own time.

Why Aircrete Domes Are Different

Every other “alternative building” method I’ve seen – from hempcrete and rammed earth, to mud brick and adobe – are all heavy, labor-intensive, and honestly, pretty intimidating for regular people.

We’ve had people at our workshops who’ve tried all those methods, and they tell me nothing compares to the simplicity of Aircrete domes. Not to mention that it is a very lightweight construction method, even though it has some seriously “heavyweight” properties.

These blocks are so lightweight I can pick them up with one hand – in fact, my granddaughter could probably handle them!

Redefining What’s Possible in Affordable Housing

Solving Real Housing Problems

But the real game-changer is that we’re not just teaching you to build a hobby project or an art piece – we’re teaching you to solve real housing problems.

That 4-meter dome we show you how to build classifies as a “shed” in Australia – no council approval needed – and only costs about $2,000 in materials for the basic structure. But with the very same skills, you can upsize your dome to a complete home.

If you compare that to granny flats or tiny homes, which can cost $100,000 and require permits, inspections, and months of bureaucracy, the results speak for themselves.

We’ve got the world’s first council-approved Aircrete dome home – 90m² for about $20,000 in structural materials. I don’t believe there is another building method that can deliver a waterproof, fireproof, cyclone-resistant, vermin-proof, fully insulated building at a fraction of the cost of virtually any other construction method. AND you can do it yourself.

Solving Real Housing Problems, One Dome at a Time

Our Mission

Most importantly, my main mission is honestly just to get this life-changing method out in the world.

It makes me so sad to see kids going into million-dollar mortgages – (the literal translation of the word “mortgage” is “death pledge”) – while their parents have land that could solve the problem. I know we’re sitting on something that could change everything.

We’re not just teaching building skills – we’re teaching families how to think outside the square and create their own solutions.

If you’re a parent watching your kids struggle with housing or crippling rent, this isn’t just another course – this is your chance to actually do something about it.
