Overview

2×–5× Faster

Assembly Speed Improvement

Their system enables steel erection at least twice to five times faster than traditional methods.

10,000 ft²/Day

Field Assembly Rate

Achieves field assembly rates exceeding 10,000 square feet per day with no field welding required.

10M ft²

Global Structures Delivered

Has delivered over 10 million square feet of structural steel globally with their innovative system.

10% Less

Cost Efficiency

Factory-driven precision reduces total installed costs by approximately 10% compared to traditional methods.

Engineers a factory‑prefabricated 'kit of parts' with tapered, self-aligning lower-and-locking connections for rapid field assembly.
Employs modular fabrication and digital integration (BIM, CNC, robotics) to ensure error-free frames.
Components are engineered to handle gravity, wind, seismic, and blast loads for robust safety.
Uniquely, their bolted connections allow full disassembly and reuse of frames, repurposing for seismic bracing or training towers.
Factory-driven precision minimizes on-site waste, schedule risk, and carbon footprint.
Operates globally from its California base, transforming the design and construction of rapid steel projects.

Culture + Values

Mission: To use our patented technology to consistently deliver accelerated structural steel solutions.
Vision: To accelerate construction innovation using our patented structural steel solutions: to become the dominant structural steel solutions provider worldwide.
Describes itself as 'an innovative company… delivering unprecedented speed, safety and quality through technology, integration and precision tolerance.'
Collaboration is a must, and we look for hard working team players who want to be part of the fast-growing movement to improve the construction industry.
Positions itself as a technology company at its core, combining end-to-end integration with significant technological and design innovation investment.

Environment + Sustainability

10M sq ft

Global Structural Steel Delivered

Over 10 million square feet of Cradle-to-Cradle Certified structural steel solutions have been successfully delivered, highlighting global reach and sustainability leadership.

97% Recycled Steel

Sustainable Steel Sourcing

Steel sourced from Electric Arc Furnaces utilizes 97% recycled scrap steel, with collar forgings achieving 100% recycled content, embodying circular economy principles.

5%–30% Steel Reduction

Efficient Structural Solutions

Advanced manufacturing methods reduce structural steel usage by 5%–30%, significantly lowering CO₂ emissions and enhancing construction efficiency.

Factory manufacturing uses CAD/CAM, BIM, robotics, CNC to optimize material, time and energy efficiency.
Factory precision reduces on-site waste; minimal field cutting, welding, and decking adjustments.
Just-In-Time sequencing minimizes storage needs and associated waste.
Bolted collar connections enable disassembly, reuse, repurpose—demonstrated by reuse in multiple projects.
