ConXtech® has designed and delivers innovative, mass customizable, and sustainable structural steel building systems and components. Often referred to as a "full-scale erector set," ConXtech applies technology to the building industry resulting in dramatic efficiencies. Based upon the theory that a finite number of precisely manufactured connectors, components and assemblies can be reconfigured to achieve almost any design criteria, the company employs Building Information Modeling (BIM), CNC machining, and robotics to streamline the structural design, manufacturing, through field "assembly" processes.

The company now has two discrete systems. ConXR™ is ideal for mid to high-Rise residential structures, including mixed-use, hotel, student, military and senior housing. The system is also well suited for industrial applications such as the petrochemical industry where tangible value can be realized by quickly and efficiently delivering robust and infinitely configurable structures. ConXL™, ConXtech’s long span system, brings a systemized solution for commercial office, GSA, military, R&D, data center, hospital, retail, educational, institutional and parking structures.

ConXtech works with owners, developers and design teams to integrate ConX® into their aesthetic vision and budget. Using state of the art technology, ConXtech then mass customizes a uniquely simple, yet structurally robust, bi-axial moment frame/space frame. ConX structures are designed, manufactured and erected at unprecedented speed. This systemized approach not only accelerates the ROI, but results in an inherently seismic, blast and progressive collapse resistant structure, without the cost premium typically associated with high performance structures.

ConXtech offers a selection of building components and services. From delivering a simple structure to be erected by others, to a complete turn-key product and on-site assembly/construction services package that includes design build responsibility and management of the structural engineering team.

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 offered by ConXtech 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. Through a joint venture called BuildPODs™ , fully finished factory built kitchen and bathroom modules are available to further expedite the building process beyond the structure.

The process starts with the architect designing in Autocad, Revit, or Tekla software. ConXtech receives those files, details the plans electronically and then 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 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. ConXtech utilizes these connections to enable a rapid and safe progression of in-field assembly and has achieved an enviable safety record.

Other integrated components of the ConX system are also fabricated in the factory. Optional 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 nearly 5 million square feet of ConX.
