South Industries Inc. is a pioneering company in the field of monolithic dome construction, recognized for its innovative approach and commitment to quality. Founded by three brothers—David, Barry, and Randy South—over 40 years ago, the company originally stemmed from a polyurethane foam spraying business. Their vision evolved to utilize foam and concrete technology, building robust, energy-efficient dome structures that span various applications from residential and commercial to industrial purposes.
Today, South Industries has made its mark globally, having constructed hundreds of dome buildings across nearly every state in the U.S. and in several other countries. The company's culture emphasizes a family-oriented approach, mirroring the founders' values of integrity and collaboration that have shaped their operations. This ethos extends to clients and stakeholders, fostering strong relationships and delivering projects on time and within budget.
Specializing in efficient dome designs, South Industries has developed advanced construction techniques and patented technologies, such as tension ring technology, which enhance the structural integrity and usability of their buildings. Their dome structures are known for requiring less maintenance and for their distinctive designs that offer flexible floor plans and spacious interiors—making them suitable for a variety of uses, including schools, gyms, storm shelters, and industrial storage.
The leadership at South Industries comprises the founding brothers and their extended family, bringing together a wealth of experience in construction management and a passion for dome building. Their commitment to social good is evident through initiatives like Domes for the World, a non-profit organization aimed at improving global living conditions through dome construction. Through a combination of innovative technology, skilled craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, South Industries remains at the forefront of the dome construction industry.
