Does all new construction in Florida and California require engineer sealed plans to obtain a building permit?
Yes. For example as of 2009, a Florida engineer seal on plans for a 40′ dome is about $400; a second dome’s seal is $300. An attached screen dome seal is $50. A 60’ dome seal is $800 to $1,000.

A California engineer seal for one dome is $1,500 to $3,000 depending on the size dome and the county you will build in. Plus California requires Energy Calculations.

Ai. can put you in contact with a firm that can perform the California Energy Calculations. If you are thinking of building near a large California city, their building departments usually require that the building kit be certified by the state of California. It is not cost effective for American Ingenuity to pay for this certification. As a result if this is required, you will not be able to build the Ai dome. What does the engineer do?
