ConXtech manufactures a revolutionary and sustainable building system for the high-density residential, commercial residential, office, parking, industrial and hospital markets. ConXtech combines ConX system components with structural design and construction services enabling the efficient mass customization of buildings.

With the ever growing focus on re-urbanization, multi-story wood-frame buildings are being pushed to their structural and code limits. In addition, cost competitive options for the construction of buildings in the 5 -12 story mid-to-high rise market has been challenging in many geographies. ConXtech delivers a significant systemic change to this 5 to 12 story market, allowing owners and developers to build higher, faster, more cost effectively, with better quality and overall sustainability.

The ConX system reduces time, labor and overall project costs when compared to wood, conventional steel or concrete structures. ConX substantially accelerates the development schedule bringing a more rapid ROI. ConXtech also increases flexibility and feasibility for architects and urban planners enabling accelerated design and the delivery of higher quality urban projects.

How is this achieved? Through an innovative component based building system that enables mass customization; design tools (software), robotics and other state-of-the-art component manufacturing processes, and by drastically streamlining on-site construction processes.


ConX is ideal for high-density, mixed-use urban environments, particularly multifamily housing, residential over retail or parking complexes, hotels, as well as senior and student housing.

The process starts with the architect designing in AutoCAD. ConXtech receives those files, details the plans electronically and then imports them into ConXCAD, an AutoCAD compatible software tool which converts architectural drawings into manufacturing code. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment then cuts and drills HSS columns and wide flange beams to precise lengths complete with penetrations for MEP and fire sprinklers. Robots then weld precisely machined collar plates that form the moment connection to beam ends. ConXtech's unique gravity connection is comprised of HSS columns with welded double angle joints that are designed to simply receive ConX gravity beams. These beams are fabricated using state of the art CNC plasma cutting technology.

ConX reduces the structural frame of a building to systemized components; HSS columns, wide flange beams, and two interlocking joints; one which forms a moment connection (collar), and the other - a gravity connection. Both connections are simply assembled by lowering and locking them into place on-site, followed by bolting. ConXtech utilizes these connections to enable a rapid and safe progression of in-field assembly.

Other integrated components of the ConX system are also fabricated in the factory. ConXStairs, and ConXWall (exterior panel system) are designed and manufactured to precise specifications. These components are then sequentially delivered to the building site and assembled with virtually no on-site welding or waste, 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.



In 2002, the nearly complete residential core of the Santana Row development in San Jose, California, was devastated by a 13 alarm fire. Efforts to rebuild were stymied by the concerns of fire and city officials for this dense and demanding urban environment. After a rigorous review process, ConX was approved as the ideal system for rebuilding Santana Row in a fraction of the time and at a substantial cost savings. Since that point in time, ConXtech has designed and built over 2.5 million square feet of ConX.

ConXtech has proven what it can do for high-density residential - building faster, better & safer.
