Panelized CFS · ship, then assemble

Efficient

Factory walls and roof. Labeled. Less waste on site.

Fast

Ship panels. Assemble. Dry-in without waiting on a plant.

Affordable

One CFS system from a home to five stories.

Visual proof

A deployable system.

Model homes, export logistics, and a mobile factory path — the assets operators and capital underwrite.

Product family

Third-party anchors

Cold-formed steel (CFS)

Factory-controlled light-gauge framing — ductile, recyclable, non-combustible assemblies.

Seismic advantage

High ductility vs brittle masonry failure modes common in reconstruction zones.

U.S. manufacturing base

Texas manufacturing hub. Factory QC on every panel that ships.

Capital sequencing

Working capital into panels first — plant capex only after proven velocity.

How ISS deploys

Panels first. Plants when the market earns them.

We inverted the traditional foreign-plant playbook. Export U.S. panels now. Deploy mobile nodes when orders justify the capex.

Phase 1 — ISS branded containers loading from Texas for export
Phase 1 — Now

Ship containerized panels · assemble in-country

Precision CFS panels move through a U.S. panel-supply pipeline. ISS containerizes housing packages and ships to reconstruction markets. Local teams assemble. No foreign plant to staff on day one.

  • Lower day-one overhead & plant security cost
  • U.S. factory QC on every panel at the dock
  • 16-week path to first revenue units
  • Emergency, transitional & permanent models
Phase 2 — ISS containerized factory assembling CFS panels in-country
Phase 2 — With demand

In-country containerized manufacturing

When order books are real, deploy ISS Mobile Manufacturing Nodes — unpack, calibrate, produce on site. Phase 2 with demand. Same system. Lower landed cost at volume. No stranded factory capital if markets move slower.

  • Mobile nodes arrive containerized
  • 5–7 day frame velocity at full production
  • Unlocks multi-story, hotels, clinics
  • Capital follows demand — not the reverse

Lower security risk

No multi-million plant to fortify before the first unit ships.

Capital efficient

Working capital into panels and logistics — not idle equipment.

Demand-validated plants

Manufacturing nodes land when order velocity pays for them.

Market portable

Same playbook for Venezuela, the region, and beyond.

Panelized CFS homes

Three homes. Every market segment.

Emergency → transitional → permanent. One CFS system, home to five stories.

Why cold-formed steel

CFS vs. traditional construction

Where masonry fails seismically — and where factory control beats craft variance on speed and cost.
