LIVE · INSTITUTIONAL · CONFIDENTIALDEVELOPMENT INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM/VERSION 1.1 · 2026

The operating system for real estate development.

Design at
the Speed of
Capital

For developers, capital partners, and land owners underwriting sites: ZFramework compresses feasibility from 45 days to 5 — so you know what a parcel is worth, what it can hold, and whether to walk, before significant capital is at risk.

01 — Why ZFramework

Most deals die in the
90 days before anyone
can underwrite them.

Land moves in hours. Modeling it moves in months. That gap is where good deals get passed on, bad deals get green-lit, and capital sits idle waiting on a spreadsheet. ZFRAMEWORK closes the gap.

WITHOUT ZFRAMEWORK

Months lost

Feasibility studies that take 8–14 weeks while the deal slips away.

Eight tools

Architects, brokers, GCs, lenders — all working off different numbers.

Stale by Friday

By the time the model's built, the assumptions have already moved.

Surprises at IC

Yield-on-cost falls apart the moment one input changes.

WITH ZFRAMEWORK

Five days

From raw parcel to a defensible go / no-go.

One model

Land, design, cost, and capital — linked. Change one, see all.

Live by Monday

Re-underwrite a deal in minutes when the market moves.

Boardroom-ready

Every chart and number is the same one your IC will see.

02 — Proof, in numbers

Carry cost saved. Deals killed early. Deals greenlit faster.

  Inputs sourced from municipal zoning APIs, CoStar-grade lease & sale comps, and live GC hard-cost benchmarks. Every number in the model traces to its source.

Data source index — Where our data comes from

Every number on this site is traceable.

We pull from county assessors, municipal planning departments, federal open data, and licensed broker comp sets. Today most figures on the site are curated snapshots with the last-verified date shown; live municipal GIS and assessor feeds are rolling in as we wire each county. Modeled outputs (yield-on-cost, land residual, IRR) are clearly labeled and link to methodology — not a source.

4 SOURCES

Parcel & Ownership

County assessor records — who owns it, how big it is, what's built on it.

9 SOURCES

Zoning & Entitlements

Municipal planning departments — base zoning, overlays, FAR, height, parking.

4 SOURCES

Geospatial & Imagery

Parcel polygons, aerial imagery, topography, and flood layers.

4 SOURCES

Market & Demographics

Census, BLS, HUD, and Arizona OEO — the demand side of the model.

2 SOURCES

Transactions & Comparables

Recorded deeds plus licensed broker comp sets for lease and sale benchmarks.

4 SOURCES

Infrastructure & Hazards

Transportation, environmental, water, and flood data that gates feasibility.

03 — How
we work

Five rules. No exceptions.

These are the rules we won't bend.  They're what make the platform reliable, and what make our work worth trusting.

Clarity

If a number can’t be explained in a sentence, it doesn’t belong in the model.

02

Speed

Time kills deals. Every day of delay shows up somewhere in the IRR.

03

Together

Design, finance, planning, and execution work in the project working seamlessly.

04

Precision

Every chart earns its place. Every metric points to a decision.

05

Trust

Institutions trust what they can verify, with complete confidentiality.

04 — The 5-day window

From parcel to go / no-go in one work week.

DAY 01

Intake

APN, address, sponsor thesis. Zoning, title, and parcel pulled automatically.

DAY 02

Zoning + massing

Entitlement envelope, allowable FAR, height, parking, setbacks resolved.

DAY 03

Schemes

Three capital paths modeled in parallel — adaptive reuse, residential, commercial.

DAY 04

Pro forma

Hard cost, soft cost, capital stack, yield-on-cost, IRR and COC for each scheme.

DAY 05

Decision memo

Go / no-go recommendation with explicit kill criteria. Boardroom-ready.

05 — What you get on Day 5

A tangible decision package — not a slide deck.

01

Decision memo (PDF)

Go / no-go with explicit kill criteria, capital exposure, and entitlement risk flags.

02

Live underwriting model

Linked inputs — change FAR, see IRR move. Yours to keep.

03

Massing studies

Three schemes in 3D — adaptive reuse, residential, commercial — with metrics overlay.

04

Capital stack

Sources & uses, debt sizing, equity multiple, sensitivity table.

Illustrative model. Land cost held constant; hard and soft costs scale with the construction multiplier. Stabilized value derived from NOI ÷ exit cap. IRR proxy is directional — final underwriting confirmed at ZBUILD engagement.

07 — Built for

Three sides of the deal. One source of truth.

01

Developers

Land-led, time-sensitive. Underwrite faster than the broker can resend the deck — and walk before LOI when the math doesn't work.

02

Capital partners

Funds and family offices. Stress-test sponsor assumptions before equity is committed; benchmark against a comparable basis.

03

Land owners & brokers

Position the parcel with a defensible feasibility envelope — three capital paths a buyer can underwrite the same day.

04

Municipalities

Align entitlement policy with what is actually executable at today's cost of capital.

05

Industrial sponsors

Logistics and hospitality groups underwriting at speed across multi-site pipelines.
