Their's a lot of people that are fighting building codes. I have an idea on how to get around it. I'm looking for input on whether or not the idea will fly.
Purchase a Engineered drawing of your choosing from Monolithic Domes.
This should satisfy the code requirements. Pore a slab with all the plumbing, electrical, and heating in it. Use re-bar to build the dome around the doors, windows, and chimneys and stacks. Cover it with burlap. Use a air compressor and thrash pump to shot crete the whole thing. Maybe 2 feet at a time allowing it to dry to add strength. Now get someone to spray one or two inches of polyurethane on top of that. Then 10 inches of papercrete on top of that. Then shot crete the outside.
You might be able to get an Engineer to stamp this variance. If not just shut up about it and maybe leave the polyurethane out as well. I will not be responsible for any of the out comes.
