ConX® System
Rapid assembly structural steel building system for efficient construction
The ConX® System is a Flexible Modular Structural Steel building system designed for rapid assembly and construction. It utilizes a standardized "kit of parts" approach with tapered, "lower & locking" steel connections that enable safe and quick assembly without field welding. The system comprises three main variants - ConXR, ConXL, and ConXL+, each suited for different building heights, bay sizes, and applications.
The ConX System features prefabricated components and revolutionary connections that allow for faster and safer erection compared to conventional steel construction. It employs lean-inspired repeatable processes in fabrication, achieving high precision and quality. The system is AISC codified and approved by regulatory agencies.
Key components include ConX Beam Assemblies, Column Assemblies, Collar Assemblies, standard egress stairs, elevator support steel, and edge closure. The system also facilitates integration of MEP systems and exterior skin systems.
ConX can be used throughout a building's primary frame as a Special Moment Frame (SMF) or Flexible Moment Connection (FMC), and can be supplemented with ConX Gravity Connections or other lateral force resisting systems for a hybrid approach. The standardized connections and interfaces create a "System of Systems," enabling simple integration of other modular parts in both physical construction and digital design environments.
This modular approach allows for architectural flexibility while simplifying BIM and enabling early design integration. The system's efficiency results in assembly rates ranging from 4,000 to 15,000 square feet per day, depending on the specific ConX variant used.
