The Revolutionary Bubble Construction Method; Its Lighter, Faster, and Greener
We humans always love circular designs as compared to flat ones. This trend is now famous in the construction industry. The houses and buildings are now being constructed in circular patterns. Homes built with this method are amorphous in look, but they are amazing to look at and eye-catching pieces of architecture.
Bubble construction methods can reduce construction costs by up to 40% and this is safer than traditional buildings. Moreover, these bubble houses are fire resistant too. If you are planning to do something different with your next construction project then a bubble house is a great choice. With necessary Building Takeoff Services, you can easily accomplish your bubble house project because it takes 35 times less time as compared to traditional constructions.
What is Bubble Construction?
This method is more referred to as “Bubble Construction,” which was invented in 1940 but has become the focus of attention now. Homes that are built with this method are called realtor-futuristic homes.
Bubble Construction is a creative building method. In this method, hollow big-sized balls are built on-site and made of foam. These balls are filled with air to get tight. Then steel rods are laid over the balls in a circular shape. Then finally concrete work begins. After that the balls are then removed from below and a beautiful building structure is ready. After all this process, the interior of the building is adjusted by properly establishing floor doors and windows. The outer surface of the roof is also painted to get an attractive look. All these procedures are so quick and fast, approximately 35 times the traditional methods.
The bubble construction method also reduces the building wait by up to 40 percent. Moreover, it also saves construction materials and costs.

Building estimating services can help in constructing the bubble house perfectly saving costs and time.
Make Environment-Friendly Bubble House
Your bubble house will completely qualify for LEED conditions. Bubble houses can be made from recycled materials. For example, plastic can be used in the construction of bubble houses, and 1 kilogram of plastic can replace 100 kilograms of concrete. Overall bubble houses require fewer building materials. The reduced material consumption can reduce overall building weight by up to 30% to 50% as compared to conventional concrete methods. Moreover, the bubble construction method has structural efficiency, faster construction, and is also eco-friendly.
Old and New Bubble Houses
Initially, the construction of bubble houses was different. They were made from airframes. The concrete mixture was then poured over these balloons and got shaped after drying. Then dry cement mixed with water was poured over the balloons which later flattened after it got dry.
But today, bubble houses are not necessarily constructed in this way. The construction occurs in the normal method but the shape of the building is kept circular from the top. So we can say that homes can be constructed inspired by the bubble method of construction.
Fire Resistance
Bubble homes can be insulated easily as compared to traditional houses. Thus Bubble Homes can be made more fire-resistant as compared to other buildings. The bubble house’s structure acts as a compression block for flexural resistance that maintains the integrity of the building. Moreover, proper insulation estimating services can contribute a lot to making your bubble house fire-resistant.
