How it works
Choose a house plan you love. Buy it from the designer. Then we help you convert it to ZeroCut and connect with a builder.
Choose a plan
Explore the Showcase by style, size and layout. Consider your lot, local setbacks and the space you need. Already have a plan or your own design? You can bring that to us, too.
Buy it from the designer
Purchase directly from the designer through their plan page. Ask for a PDF or CAD license that allows modifications before buying, since conversion requires it. The designer supplies the plan and confirms the license terms.
Convert to ZeroCut and connect with a builder
Send us your plan, license details and build location. A ZeroCut tech reviews conversion suitability and the next steps for plans and permitting. We convert the plan to the ZeroCut Building System and connect you with an independent licensed, certified builder who quotes, contracts and builds.
Before you begin
Do I need a special license?
You need permission from the designer to modify the plan. Ask which PDF or CAD license allows conversion to the ZeroCut Building System; buying a plan alone does not necessarily grant modification rights.
Can any plan be converted?
Not every plan is suitable as drawn. A ZeroCut tech reviews the layout, structure and site requirements to identify any changes needed before confirming conversion. Local engineering and permitting requirements still apply.
Who builds it?
An independent licensed, certified ZeroCut builder quotes, contracts and builds your home. FBX supplies the ZeroCut Building System and field tech support; FBX does not perform construction.
How long does it take?
The ZeroCut shell takes about 7 days, compared with about 26 days for a stick-built shell with trades. These are shell estimates, not a complete-home schedule. Conversion, engineering, permits, site preparation and finishes have separate timelines that depend on your plan, location and builder.
Do you sell the plans?
No. You buy them from the designer. We convert them and connect you with a builder.
