Steel-framed homes · Florida

Engineered for strength. Built for generations.

Galvanized cold-formed steel where other homes use lumber. A ferrocement shell where they use siding. And a Lease-to-Keys path so you can move in now and work toward buying the home.

01 The problem

Florida is hard on houses. Wood wasn't built for it.

Hurricane-force wind

Roof-to-wall connections and protected windows and doors decide whether a home holds together when the wind comes off the Gulf.

Moisture that never leaves

Humidity finds its way into wood framing. Trapped moisture is the root of rot, mold and the repairs that follow.

Termites eat lumber

Subterranean termites are a fact of life across Florida. Wood-framed walls are a food source; steel isn't.

Combustible framing

Lumber contributes fuel. Steel framing is noncombustible — the structure itself doesn't feed a fire.

CyberOne started with a different question: what if a family home were framed with cold-formed steel, the way so many commercial buildings already are?

STRUCTURE

A complete steel-frame home. Not a wood house with steel accents.

Cold-formed galvanized steel studs, tracks and trusses replace lumber throughout the structure. Steel doesn't shrink, split or warp; it isn't food for termites; and it doesn't add fuel to a fire.

02 The system

Inside a CyberOne wall. Six layers, inside to out.

  1. 01

    Drywall interior finish

    The face you live with. Clean, paintable, ready for the family.

  2. 02

    Galvanized steel structure

    Cold-formed steel studs and tracks carry the loads. Noncombustible, dimensionally stable and not a food source for insects.

  3. 03

    Structural closed-cell foam insulation

    Sprayed into the wall cavity to fill every bay and seal the home against air leaks.

  4. 04

    House-wrap moisture barrier

    A synthetic drainage plane that keeps bulk water moving down and out, not in.

  5. 05

    High-rib metal lath

    A stiff metal mesh screwed back to the steel frame — the key the exterior cement coat grips onto.

  6. 06

    Ferrocement exterior sheeting

    A cement coat over the steel mesh. Hard, moisture-resistant and built to take the Florida sun.

ROOF

The roof system

  1. 01

    Galvanized steel trusses

    The structure of the roof, in the same cold-formed steel as the walls.

  2. 02

    Closed-cell foam

    Sprayed under the deck to insulate and seal the roof plane.

  3. 03

    Concrete board decking

    A noncombustible deck in place of plywood sheathing.

  4. 04

    Vapor barrier

    Keeps moisture out of the assembly below the finish roof.

  5. 05

    Standing-seam metal roof

    The finish surface — and the plane the rooftop solar mounts to.

Roof and wall assemblies are shown for the current CyberHouse models. Approved plans govern the specification for each home.

03 Why it matters

Four decisions we don't compromise on.

Wood-free structure

No lumber in the load-bearing structure. Steel doesn't rot, warp, or feed termites — so the frame itself isn't where those problems start. It is noncombustible, so it doesn't add fuel to a fire.

Engineered for Florida wind

Every home is engineered for the wind speeds Florida code requires at its exact site, with engineer-sealed plans and impact-rated windows and doors.

Energy designed as one system

Current CyberHouse specifications pair rooftop solar with battery backup, a tightly sealed and insulated shell, a variable-speed air conditioner, ENERGY STAR lighting and appliances, and low-E impact glass. Actual energy use depends on the home, the weather and how you live in it.

Low-emission interior finishes

Low-emission paints, hard-surface flooring, LED lighting and non-porous quartz counters — with moisture and ventilation handled at the shell of the house.

04 The homes

Two models. One structure.

Single-story, single-slope roofs built for solar, 9-foot ceilings, private entries. Choose by household size — switch between them here.

Photographs, the 3D scan and the video tour show completed CyberHouse homes in Florida. Finishes and options vary by home.

05 Lease-to-Keys

Move in first.
Buy when you qualify.

The Lease-to-Keys Program lets you move into a new CyberOne home today while a portion of your monthly lease payment — defined in your lease agreement — is reserved toward your down-payment goal for tomorrow. Ask for the numbers first: lease payment, purchase price and projected mortgage payment, in writing, before you commit to anything.

  1. 01

    Move into a new CyberOne home

    Your lease is written around one goal: buying the home. The monthly payment is set with your budget and your down-payment target in mind — not just the going rent.

  2. 02

    Build your down-payment reserve

    A portion of each monthly payment is reserved toward your future down payment and closing expenses. For example, a buyer who needs $15,000 for the 3.5% minimum down payment on an FHA loan can have the lease structured so that amount is set aside during the term.‡

  3. 03

    Qualify and take the keys

    If your credit needs work, the program may connect you with credit-counseling support during the lease. If you qualify for a mortgage with a payment that fits your budget, you can move forward with purchasing the home. Mortgage qualification is determined by the lender, not by CyberOne.

WATCH

How Lease-to-Keys works

4:25 on the path that turns the rent you are already paying into a down payment: what the lease covers, what gets reserved each month, and what has to happen before you can buy the home.

The film plays from YouTube. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play.

Purchase requires qualifying for a mortgage during the lease term. Not all applicants will qualify. If you do not purchase by the end of the lease, what happens to any reserved amount (refund, credit or forfeiture) is set by your written lease agreement — ask to see that term, and the current program terms, in writing before you sign.

Rate buy-down contribution

CyberOne may contribute up to $20,000 under the current program toward buying down your fixed mortgage interest rate, which lowers the monthly mortgage payment. Ask a specialist for a side-by-side of your rent today and a projected full mortgage payment.†

A structured path toward qualification

The program is designed to address the usual barriers to a mortgage — down payment, credit qualification and income — through a lease period with a defined savings target, followed by a purchase opportunity. Eligibility, participation and any future loan approval are determined by program terms and lender criteria.†

Every payment works toward your keys

The home you lease is the home you can buy once you qualify for a mortgage. Part of every payment is reserved toward your own down payment instead of going entirely to rent.

08 About

Founded to build the house differently.

Eco Solar Company, LLC, doing business as CyberOne Homes. Orlando, Florida — since 2018.

“Inspired by the lasting strength of ancient civilizations, CyberOne reimagines U.S. residential construction — replacing outdated methods with advanced, high-performance solutions.”

CyberOne was founded with one mission: to redefine residential construction by building with technologies that go past the limits of conventional methods.

The reference points are old ones. Rome, Egypt, Greece, Byzantium, the Inca and the Aztec left structures that are still standing. Set against them, the way most American houses are still put together is hard to defend — wooden beams, plywood, hollow block, shingle roofs and thin insulation, in a state that tests every one of those every year.

So the company was assembled as a team rather than a trade: engineers, architects, builders, steel specialists and manufacturers whose backgrounds are in high-performance residential and commercial construction. What they arrived at is a system rather than an upgrade — structural steel framing, high-performance closed-cell spray foam, rooftop solar with battery storage, high-efficiency heating and cooling, and low-emissivity impact-rated windows with hurricane-rated exterior doors, specified together, home by home.

CyberOne is a new-construction steel-frame home builder. Every home is engineered and permitted for its own site, and the approved plans and specifications govern what gets built.

06 Purchase power

See what you could own — with the numbers you already know.

Tell us how you're paid and what you pay in rent. We size your purchase power from that, then a specialist calls with real figures: lease payment, purchase price and a projected mortgage payment, in writing.

  • Takes about two minutes. No credit pull at this stage.
  • No obligation — the call is to give you numbers, not to close you.
  • Your information goes to CyberOne's sales team and, if you proceed, its lending partners — nobody else.
