Introducing Z/Suite: Streamlining Site, Design, and Permitting for Multifamily Real Estate

If you are developing multifamily real estate in California, your project may spend more time in pre-construction than anticipated.

Many multifamily developments experience 6 to 10 months in design coordination, another 6 to 9 months in plan review, plus additional months securing financing. Combined, that can result in 12 to 18 months before construction begins.

In today’s environment, that timeline directly impacts the feasibility of your project.

We built Z/Suite for multifamily developers to reduce that exposure.

How Z/Suite Works

Z/Suite integrates site analysis, layout optimization, financial modeling, and permit pathway mapping into a single workflow designed specifically for modular multifamily projects.

Here are our four tools for developers:

Z/Scout analyzes hundreds of parcels using 25 data points and surfaces development-ready sites based on zoning, incentives, and modular suitability.

Z/Design generates optimized building layouts and produces 90% of construction plans without extended back-and-forth with your design team.

Z/Forma runs pro forma modeling with predictable construction costs and generates eRFPs before you commit capital.

Z/Expediter maps and simplifies 127+ permitting checkpoints, reducing approval timelines from months to weeks.

Z/Suite works with Model/Z modular units and also functions as a standalone planning tool for any multifamily project.

The result is an earlier certainty which improves financing conversations, strengthens investor confidence, and supports faster construction starts.

Early Access for California Developers

We are opening limited early access to qualified 50+ unit projects across Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, Inland Empire, and the Bay Area.

Participants receive a free property analysis, pro forma review, and direct planning access to the Model/Z team.

If you have a site in your pipeline, schedule a 15-minute feasibility call and see what Z/Suite surfaces before you commit capital.
