Our Process

From Factory to Foundation.
We're With You the Whole Way.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

Completion

Your home is complete and ready for occupancy. Every Zona Verde home is delivered with all appliances, fixtures, and finishes installed — move-in ready from day one.

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

Consultation & Scoping1–2 weeks
Contract & Design Finalization1–2 weeks
Manufacturing4–6 weeks
Shipping5–8 weeks
Site Preparation (parallel)4–8 weeks
Crew Training1 week
Structure (walls, roof, doors)~15 days
Interior Finishing~15 days

Site preparation happens in parallel with manufacturing and shipping — when panels arrive, you're ready to build.

Conventional — 12–18 months

Planning, permitting, design2–4 months
Foundation2–4 weeks
Framing4–6 weeks
Roofing1–2 weeks
Rough electrical, plumbing, HVAC3–6 weeks
Insulation1–2 weeks
Drywall2–4 weeks
Interior finishes6–10 weeks
Final inspections2–4 weeks

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.
