Why Choose Us

The Monolithic story begins with David B. South and his interest in dome building. That interest started when David was still in high shchool and never waned. In fact, it intensified. By 1975, David and his two brothers, Barry and Randy, had successfully built their first Monolithic Dome— a potato storage facility in Shelley, Idaho, 105’ in diameter and 35’ high.That project resulted in a patent for the process and launched an innovative construction system for Monolithic Dome homes, schools, churches, sport and commercial facilities.Today, Monolithic is a family of companies sharing a mutual goal: to improve the lives of people worldwide through the introduction and construction of Monolithic Domes, for personal and public use, that are superior in strength, energy-efficiency and cost control.Headed by President David B.
