Our Process
From Factory to Foundation.
We're With You the Whole Way.
Consultation & Project Scoping
Every project begins with a conversation. We define the scope: number of homes, site conditions, model selection, colors, finishes, timeline, and local requirements. Our engineering team confirms structural compliance for your location.

Contract & Manufacturing
Once the project scope is finalized, we execute a contract and begin manufacturing your home panels. Our factory produces steel panels with electrical and plumbing already built in. Manufacturing lead time is typically 4–6 weeks.

Shipping & Site Preparation
While panels are in transit (35–45 days by container ship), your site preparation begins. Zona Verde coordinates foundation schedules, storage logistics, and material staging. Fabrication items ship first and arrive before the main panel delivery.

Crew Training
One week before panel arrival, Zona Verde's project manager and construction engineer arrive on-site. We conduct classroom training and hands-on instruction for your crew. No prior experience with our system required.

Construction
With the foundation ready, construction begins. Panels are positioned by crane and lock together on a track system. No heavy lifting required. Panels slide into place and secure automatically.

Timeline Comparison
Full Project Timeline: Order to Move-In
A Zona Verde project involves planning, manufacturing, shipping, site preparation, and construction. Here's a realistic timeline and how it compares to traditional construction.
Zona Verde: 4–6 months
Site preparation happens in parallel with manufacturing and shipping. When panels arrive, you're ready to build.
Conventional: 12–18 months
Total construction time: 8–12 months
A Zona Verde home can be move-in ready in 4–6 months. A comparable stick-built home takes 12–18 months.
FAQ
Common Questions
A Zona Verde home can be move-in ready in 4 to 6 months from the time of order. This includes 1 to 2 weeks for consultation and scoping, 4 to 6 weeks for manufacturing, 5 to 8 weeks for shipping, and approximately 30 days for on-site construction. Site preparation happens in parallel with manufacturing and shipping, so there is no waiting period between panel delivery and the start of construction.
A comparable stick-built home takes 12 to 18 months from planning to move-in. A Zona Verde home can be ready in 4 to 6 months, roughly three times faster. Traditional construction requires sequential phases (framing, rough-in trades, drywall, finishing) that each add weeks. Zona Verde panels arrive with electrical and plumbing pre-routed, eliminating the most time-intensive phases.
No. Zona Verde's project manager and construction engineer arrive on-site one week before panel delivery to conduct classroom and hands-on training for your crew. No prior experience with the Zona Verde system is required. Panels are numbered and color-coded and slide into place on a track system with no heavy lifting required. Once trained, your crew can build additional Zona Verde projects independently.
Zona Verde provides end-to-end project partnership: consultation and scoping, contract and manufacturing, real-time shipment tracking during transit, site coordination, on-site crew training, and engineering support throughout construction. Every home is delivered complete with all appliances, fixtures, and finishes installed, move-in ready from day one.
Zona Verde homes are compatible with standard foundation types including poured concrete slabs and pier systems. Zona Verde coordinates foundation scheduling as part of the project process. Site preparation begins while panels are being manufactured and shipped, so the foundation is ready when panels arrive.
