This one is a bit of a stretch for most people, but it's still a pretty good deal ... Tho, I'm sure shipping would be kinda expensive... but thats relative to just about anything that has to be shipped here.

The geodesics have always had issues with sealing all of the seams. These folks may have figured it out but buildings move quite a bit as the sun moves across them and cement with fibers may not last as long as you would like. It's a strong design, particularly for wind loads, but may be better suited for a dryer climate.

I was a shop foreman for a dome company years ago. Jay is very correct. For residential use domes have more problems than they do solutions. Interesting in the math though.
Assume the best and ask questions.
