For self-builders & individuals
Be your own contractor — without the expertise gap.
Pro is built for the person standing on the parcel. Owner-builders, self-builders, individual architects, contractors, and tradespeople doing personal projects. faircompanies.build closes the gap between “I own land” and “I have a permit-ready set of plans” — without forcing you to hire a full design team for every question.
Your own project, end to end
Start from a single parcel and walk through every stage in plain language — feasibility, lot fit, jurisdiction, design, BIM, deliverables, permit strategy, value engineering. No gatekeepers between you and the answer.
Professional-grade outputs
The same permit-ready PDF, BIM/IFC export, and jurisdiction summary an architecture firm would charge thousands to assemble. Yours, on a Pro subscription.
Designed for one parcel at a time
Pro gives you unlimited projects so you can explore different lots or scenarios, but the workflow respects that you're focused on a single decision — not running a portfolio.
Where it fits
Concrete use cases
Owner-builder of a primary residence
Walk your own land through feasibility, code, and concept. Hand a clear scope and BOM to whichever specialist you bring in (or the trades you GC yourself).
Adding an ADU to property you own
Confirm ADU eligibility, jurisdiction-specific requirements, and a sensible massing — before you commit to drawings or a contractor.
Individual professional — architect, contractor, designer
Use faircompanies.build on personal projects or to validate a client lead before opening a formal engagement. Pro is enough for individual practice; firms with teams should look at /solutions/aec.
Pre-purchase due diligence
Run feasibility on a parcel before making an offer. Get zoning, hazard, and permit-history in minutes — same data sources the pros use, surfaced as plain-English answers.
How it works
A typical engagement
- 1
Start a project
Drop in an APN, address, or pin on a map. Site data prefills automatically.
- 2
Run feasibility
Confirm zoning, setbacks, hazards, and likely permit path before you commit any further.
- 3
Iterate concept
Test dwelling concepts that fit the lot and your budget. Rough BOMs and cost trade-offs are first-class outputs.
- 4
Build the deliverables
Permit-set PDF, BIM/IFC, scope list, and an honest jurisdiction strategy — what your contractor or permit office actually needs.
