Innovative Steel Structures (ISS) deploys U.S. cold-formed steel housing for reconstruction markets — starting with the QFN Venezuela Model. Partner with Texas Truss & Frame, ship containerized panels, assemble in-country. Plant capital only after demand is real.
ISS Venezuela Model Family
Steel frame to finished home · U.S. CFS · under 16 weeks
U.S. manufacture. Containerize. Export. No plant to fortify on day one.
Local crews erect precision-labeled frames — fast, lower overhead.
Mobile manufacturing nodes only when order books pay for them.
Visual proof
Model homes, export logistics, and the ISS mobile factory — the three assets operators and capital underwrite.
Third-party anchors
Factory-controlled light-gauge framing — ductile, recyclable, non-combustible assemblies.
High ductility vs brittle masonry failure modes common in reconstruction zones.
Texas Truss & Frame partnership + parallel acquisition for supply ownership.
Working capital into panels first — plant capex only after proven velocity.
How ISS deploys
We inverted the traditional foreign-plant playbook. Export U.S. panels now. Deploy mobile nodes when orders justify the capex.
Texas Truss & Frame produces precision CFS panels in the U.S. ISS containerizes full housing packages and ships to Venezuela (or any ready market). Local teams assemble. You avoid building, staffing, and securing a foreign plant before revenue.
When order books are real, deploy ISS Mobile Manufacturing Nodes — unpack, calibrate, produce on site. Same system. Lower landed cost at volume. No stranded factory capital if markets move slower.
No multi-million plant to fortify before the first unit ships.
Working capital into panels and logistics — not idle equipment.
Manufacturing nodes land when order velocity pays for them.
Same playbook for Venezuela, the region, and beyond.
ISS Venezuela Model Family · Caracas 1010
Emergency → transitional → permanent. One CFS system. Three revenue bands for reconstruction demand.
Compact. Fast. Essential.
Comfort. Function. Durability.
Space. Strength. Sustainability.
Beyond single-family
A 40-unit pilot becomes workforce apartments, boutique hotels, clinics, and offices — up to 5 stories on the same CFS system.
Time-lapse · steel frame to finished multi-story campus
*Market-indexed benchmarks; full economics under NDA.
Phase 1
40 units · 16 weeks · panels shipped, assembled on site
Phase 2
Up to 5 stories · mobile nodes when volume warrants
Planning estimator
Square-foot planning bands for Flat-Pack, Panelized, and Installed — one to five stories. Orientation only. Formal quote follows.
These are planning bands — not a bid. Freight, finish level, site, seismic package, and volume move the number. A formal ISS quote is required before any commitment.

Panelized · 768 SF · 1-story · $52–$68 / SF · $40k – $52k
USD planning range at selected stories. Excludes land, entitlements, and owner finishes above spec. 30–40% below conventional masonry on comparable envelopes.

M&A · Supply chain control
Every arc on this map originates at Texas Truss & Frame — ISS's exclusive manufacturing partner. We ship from that hub now. We acquire it in parallel. One U.S. plant feeds reconstruction, workforce, and export housing from Alaska to Venezuela — without standing up a foreign factory first.
TTF is the sole U.S. CFS source for ISS: precision trusses, joists, and pre-panelized walls — labeled, MEP-ready, wind-rated. Worldwide support from one Texas plant.
Partnership for speed. M&A for ownership. While containers move, ISS advances TTF acquisition to lock the hub every route traces back to — margin, capacity, and supply security.
Venezuela is the first reconstruction campaign. The same Texas hub already reaches the Caribbean, Central America, the Andes, Canada, and Alaska. One plant. Many theaters.

Why cold-formed steel
Where masonry fails seismically — and where factory control beats craft variance on speed and cost.
| Feature | CFS · ISS | Masonry | Poured concrete |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seismic performance | Superior — high ductility | Poor — brittle failure | Moderate — high mass |
| Speed to frame | 50–70% faster | Labor-intensive | Formwork & curing |
| Weight | 60–70% lighter | Heavy dead load | Very heavy |
| Cost predictability | High — factory controlled | Variable change orders | High overrun risk |
