The Octolithic, a concrete panel kit from Octolithic, is published at $79,000 for the kit and covers 1,187 square feet.

Octolithic does not publish a wind rating or a snow load for this model, so 38 percent of the fields we score are blank.

None of that tells you whether it works on your land. Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance are site specific engineering, so the only useful answer comes from running this kit against your address.

Completeness

62%

62 percent of the fields we score are backed by something Octolithic published. Why completeness is never part of the grade.

Conflict of interest

Kit Home Finder's owner, Jeremy Vest, also owns this maker. It is listed here because leaving it out would be its own kind of dishonest. It gets no forgiveness for missing data, it cannot be ordered through this site, and you can hide every kit we own with one switch on the Index. Our scoring code cannot read a commission rate on any kit, including this one.

The thing nobody else will tell you

This kit cannot be scored on its own. Nothing on this page tells you whether it works on your land.

Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance come from your address, not from this kit. Put in an address and the gates run against the real requirement at that point.

What the maker publishes

Everything here came off Octolithic's own pages, cited at the bottom. A blank is a blank: we never fill one in.

Build type	Concrete panel
Structural system	SCIP, steel reinforced concrete insulated panel, eight sided, thirty-eight feet across the flats. Concrete inside and out, applied on site over the panel. The eight faces tie back to interior centre walls that run through the middle of the octagon.
Finished size	1,187 sq ft
Bedrooms	3
Bathrooms	2
Wall R value	Published as around R-20 for an individual wall, with a claimed whole envelope figure in the R-30s and R-40s. No assembly, test method or reporting standard is named for either figure, and a whole envelope number is not comparable to a wall R-value.
Roof R value	Not published
Foundation types	Elevated only. The house is raised on its own eight sided garage story. There is no slab on grade version and the maker says there will not be one at launch.
Lead time	Not published
Delivers to	Florida only. The engineering stamp is state specific.
Country	United States
Build difficulty	Specialist crew and equipment Concrete is placed on site, which needs a pump, a crew and a finisher. This is not an owner build in any ordinary sense. Read from the construction method.

What the maker says it resists

Design capability as published. Not a certification, not a rating of your house, and not proof against anything.

Engineered wind speed	Not published
Roof snow capability	Not published
Seismic	Not published
Fire	Described as fire resistant, on the basis that concrete does not burn. No fire resistance rating, assembly class, standard or test is published. Ask for the tested assembly and the rating in hours.

Price

$79,000

This is the number the maker publishes. What it covers is in the line below, and it is almost never the finished cost of a house.

What that number covers	Kit only, and an estimate rather than a quote. Published as the eight wall and roof panels, mesh and tie wire, sill pans and flashing, channels for wiring and plumbing, interior wall framing, full blueprints and engineering stamps. No sprayer ships with the kit: the maker recommends hiring a plaster, stucco or shotcrete crew and putting them through the panel manufacturer's system training first. Stairs, porches and decks are not in the kit. Land, the garage story it stands on, windows, doors, trades, mechanical and the entire interior are all on top.

What else we found

This is the site owner's own company and it is held to the same rubric as every other maker here, with no forgiveness for what it does not publish. Nothing can be ordered. The maker states that no kit ships to anyone until the founder's own house is finished, standing and documented, targeted for late 2028, and production is capped at 120 kits a year. The buyability gate fails for that reason and not as a judgement of the product. The site describes the house as built to survive the storm and stay insurable but publishes no design wind speed, so there is no number here that can be compared against another maker or against a Florida building department requirement. Snow load, seismic and a roof R-value are not published at all, and a Florida product approval number is not published yet.

Questions to send this maker

Generated from what they left blank. Every one of these is a thing they could answer today and have chosen not to publish. Copy them into an email. If they answer, tell us and we will update this page with the citation.

What design wind speed is this model engineered to, in miles per hour, and at what Risk Category and Exposure Category?
What ground snow load can the roof carry, in pounds per square foot, and is that the ground load or the roof load?
What Seismic Design Category will you engineer this model to, and is that included or a paid upgrade?
What is the roof R value, and is it nominal or whole assembly?
What is the lead time in weeks from deposit to delivery, right now?

Across the whole Index, the average kit publishes about a quarter of what a buyer needs. This maker is at 62 percent.

Questions people ask about the Octolithic The Octolithic

Answered from what Octolithic publishes, including the answers that are "they do not say".

How much does the Octolithic The Octolithic cost?

Octolithic publishes $79,000. Kit only, and an estimate rather than a quote. Published as the eight wall and roof panels, mesh and tie wire, sill pans and flashing, channels for wiring and plumbing, interior wall framing, full blueprints and engineering stamps. No sprayer ships with the kit: the maker recommends hiring a plaster, stucco or shotcrete crew and putting them through the panel manufacturer's system training first. Stairs, porches and decks are not in the kit. Land, the garage story it stands on, windows, doors, trades, mechanical and the entire interior are all on top.

What wind speed is the Octolithic The Octolithic engineered to?

Octolithic does not publish a design wind speed for this model. Only about one kit maker in ten publishes one. Note that "hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, so a page using that phrase without a number has told you nothing.

What snow load can the Octolithic The Octolithic roof take?

Octolithic does not publish a snow load for this model. Around one maker in twenty does.

Can you actually buy the Octolithic The Octolithic?

No. Octolithic is not taking orders for this model today, whatever the renderings suggest.

What foundation does the Octolithic The Octolithic need?

Octolithic publishes: Elevated only. The house is raised on its own eight sided garage story. There is no slab on grade version and the maker says there will not be one at launch.

How well does the Octolithic The Octolithic stand up to a hurricane or a wildfire?

The honest answer is what it resists, and under what conditions. No kit home is proof against either, and any page telling you otherwise is selling. "Hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, no house can be tornado rated, and whole building certifications like LEED, Passive House and HERS all require a built, sited, inspected home and cannot be attached to a model from a spec sheet. What a maker can honestly tell you is what the design resists and under what conditions. For this model, they publish nothing at all.

Will the Octolithic The Octolithic work on my land?

Nothing on any spec sheet can answer that, including this one. Wind, snow, seismic, flood and soil requirements come from your address, not from the kit. The Kit Home Finder runs every kit in the Index against the published hazard data for your point and shows you what survives and why the rest did not. It is free.
