High-Quality, Radically Affordable Housing
Powered by AI, Model/Z is on a mission to make housing affordable and accessible to all through cost-effective and durable modular homes.
ABOUT MODEL/Z
Model/Z’s Modular system is designed for simplicity, scalability, and impact. We work with forward-thinking developers to deliver precision-built, affordable housing.
What Sets Us Apart:
Crafted by Experts
Advanced manufacturing developed by SpaceX engineers and executives from the automotive industry enhances quality control, value, and reliability of product.
AI-Optimized Design & Scalable Modularity
Our proprietary Z/Suite software uses AI to identify the ideal sites for your projects and creates optimized building layouts. Then our modular base units bring those designs to life across different lots, budgets, and zoning conditions.
Truly Affordable
Factory-built efficiency and smart design allows us to deliver units for less than half the cost of traditional construction without compromising durability or lifespan.
Seamless Assembly
Every unit is built off-site for speed and precision, then installed in days, not months.
our MISSION
Transform tomorrow’s neighborhoods through efficiency, quality, and community impact.
Our mission is to make housing affordable by manufacturing cost-effective and durable modular housing faster than anyone else in the US.
Our goal is cut total development costs by 60% and reduce multifamily project timelines by 50%. Our Z/Suite AI-engine enables developers, municipalities, and community development organizations to unlock the underutilized value of their land for housing.
Rooted in South L.A., Model/Z is locally built and operated, drawing from decades of experience to create lasting impact. Over 75% of our assembly line team are residents from surrounding neighborhoods, and nearly 20% are women. Through our vocational program, we train 10–20 new hires each month, focusing on formerly incarcerated, veterans, and members with learning disabilities.
Discover how Model/Z’s modular system and AI-driven planning tools help developers cut permitting timelines, reduce hard costs, and scale projects profitably.
