ConXtech® is a building technology company which designs and delivers an innovative, mass customizable, and sustainable structural steel building system called ConX®. The company utilizes state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies to produce premium building structures – at no cost premium. Often referred to as a full-scale erector set™, ConX is comprised of a finite number of precisely manufactured steel connectors, components and assemblies that can be configured to achieve almost any design and structural criteria. ConXtech employs Building Information Modeling (BIM), CNC machining, and robotics to streamline the structural design, detailing, manufacturing through field assembly processes. The company also licenses its proprietary manufacturing technologies through a network of Certified ConX Fabricators and Erectors, and sells its patented connectors through that network. ConXtech applies technology to the building industry resulting in dramatic efficiencies.
ConXtech offers two discrete systems. ConXR™ is ideal for mid to high-rise residential structures, including mixed-use, hotel, student, military and senior housing. The ConXR system is also well suited for industrial applications such as alternative energy and oil, gas and petrochemical structures where value can be realized by quickly and efficiently delivering robust and infinitely configurable pipeline, pipe rack structures. ConXL™, ConXtech’s long span system, brings a systemized solution for healthcare facilities (including OSHPD approved hospitals), military, GSA, commercial office, data center, R&D, retail, educational, institutional and parking structures.
ConXtech and their expanding network of ConX Certified Fabricators works with owners, developers and design teams to integrate ConX® into their aesthetic vision and budget. Structures are produced in a highly automated ConX factory environment, where quality and costs can be controlled, and production can be optimized through process. Leveraging state of the art technology uniquely simple, yet structurally robust bi-axial moment frame/space frame structures are manufactured and erected at unprecedented speed.
This systemized approach accelerates ROI, but also results in a structure which is inherently seismic, blast and progressive collapse resistant, without the cost premium.
ConXtech has worked with some of the most respected architectural and engineering firms in the world and the list grows every day. We are happy to give design teams the tools and technical assistance needed to offer this proven and truly revolutionary system to their clients looking for a faster, better, safer and greener way to build.
CONX CHASSIS BASED MODULAR™- A COMPONENT BASED BUILDING SYSTEM
ConX reduces the structure of a building to a chassis of systemized components; HSS columns, wide flange beams, and three interlocking connectors; two which form a moment connection (collar), and the other – a gravity connection. These connections are simply assembled by lowering and locking them into place on-site, followed by bolting. These lower and locking connections eliminate field welding and enable a rapid and safe progression of field assembly.
Other integrated components of the ConX system can also be fabricated in a factory environment. Optional ConXStair and ConXWall panelized exterior wall systems are designed and manufactured using a standardized set of connection details. These components are then sequentially delivered to the building site and assembled with virtually no on-site welding or waste, thus providing a dramatically safer construction environment. A mid-rise building comprised of structural frame, exit stairs, concrete filled corrugated metal deck, and exterior wall panels is constructed in vertical sections, enclosed, and ready for follow-on trades in weeks rather than months.
ConXFrame™ is a structural steel moment frame/space frame comprised of HSS columns and wide flange beams joined together by precisely machined steel connectors. ConXtech’s lower and locking connector technologies are comprised of:
ConXColumn™ – gravity or moment
ConXBeam™ – gravity or moment
ConXCollar™ – a “node” comprised of a vertical HSS Column surrounded on 4 sides by ConX Moment Connectors.
Other building components include:
ConXFloor™ – corrugated metal decking with lightweight concrete fill
ConXWall™ – a panelized exterior wall system (substrate over steel studs)
ConXStair™ – common area stair system with railings
ConXRoof™- a standard set of roof details that allow a high quality roof to be quickly and easily installed by your roofing contractor.
ConXtech’s Chassis Based Modular system also enables the use of other modularized building components. Fully finished factory built kitchen and bathroom modules are available to further expedite the building process beyond the structure.
