CONXTECH ® - SAMPLE PIECES OF PREVIOUS CONXL ™ BEAM TESTS


CONXTECH - CONX ™ VS. WOOD

In the United States, wood frame is the most common method used for low- to mid-rise residential, mixed-use, and small commercial structures. However, the ConX ™ system offers significant benefits over using wood, at a comparable cost, including:

• Ability to build higher than the building code limitations governing wood frame, particularly four to eight story buildings.• Ability to erect a building in a fraction of the time because all structural components are precisely pre- manufactured and simply assembled on site.• Lean crews - far less field labor.• Greener. Significantly less waste. (See ConXeco ™ story on home page)• Safer work environment, with no on-site waste or clutter.• Non-combustible - mitigates fire risk.• Non-corrosive and dimensionally stable - doesn't expand/contract with moisture content, nor will it shrink, creep, rot, bow, mold, split, decay or be subject to plate crush. • Premium seismic performance.• No shear walls or brace frames.• Developed with other trades in mind, such as electrical, HVAC, and plumbing, so that they spend less time configuring, drilling, and installing in a ConX ™ environment.


CONXTECH ® - CONX ™ VS. LIGHT GAUGE STEEL

In the last ten to fifteen years, components of light gauge steel have essentially replicated structural wood products. However, the ConX ™ system offers significant benefits over light gauge steel, at a comparable cost, including:• Ability to build higher than the, structural limitations and building code governing light gauge.• Ability to erect a building in a fraction of the time because all components are precisely pre-

manufactured and simply assembled on site - eliminating much of the structural complexity of light gauge multi-story construction. • Lean crews - far less field labor intensive.• Safer work environment, with minimal on-site waste or clutter.• Premium seismic performance.• No shear walls or brace frames. The simple ConXFrame ™ is the structure. • Developed with other trades in mind, such as electrical, HVAC, and plumbing, so that they spend less time configuring, drilling, and installing in a ConX ™ environment.


CONXTECH ® - CONX ™ VS. CONVENTIONAL STRUCTURAL STEEL

Traditionally, the use of structural steel has been limited to commercial or high rise residential structures. The ConX ™ system provides significant benefits over conventional structural steel methods, including:

• Less field labor.• Greener. Significantly less waste. (See ConXeco ™ story www.conxtech.com)• Lower building costs.• Significantly faster construction because of minimal field welding.• Shorter lead times because of systemized, standardized steel members.• Safer work environment, minimal "steel climbing" and reduced risk of injury. • Better seismic load distribution through total distributed load transfer.• No shear wall or cross bracing.• Use of ConXR ™, ConXtech's shorter span system enables freedom to place the structure virtually anywhere on a standard concrete podium without the requirement for load paths to align with parking or retail substructure below.• System was developed with other trades such as electrical, HVAC, and plumbing in mind, so that those trades spend less time configuring, drilling, and fitting and installing in a ConX ™ structure. • Less costly and time-consuming inspections.



CONXTECH ® - CONX ™ VS. CONCRETE

Structural concrete is rarely specified for the residential component of high-density, mid-rise and mixed-use projects because of the cost and logistics required to align all vertical load paths throughout the multiple occupancies. ConXR ™ is ideal for residential structures because the redundant, interconnected spans eliminate the need to align vertical load paths from residential floors through retail and parking structures. In commercial structures, use of ConXL ™ vs. concrete often enables savings in the foundation or footings of building because ConXL ™ is a comparatively lighter weight structure and the efficient distribution of loads through the nodal moment frame/space frame design. Not surprisingly, the ConX ™ system provides greater benefits than concrete, including: • Lower costs.• Significantly Greener. Lower CO2 Emissions. (See ConXeco ™ story on home page)• Flexibility to configure units, interior space and exterior windows without consideration for shear walls, brace frames, large columns, etc., typically required for concrete structures.• Lighter and safer structure to endure seismic events.• Eliminates disruptive traffic, cross-trade activity, and other noise associated with placing concrete.


PRIMARY ADVANTAGES OF CONXR ™ & CONXL ™ VS. OTHER STRUCTURAL METHODS

• Dramatically accelerates delivery of building shell for dry in.• Developed with efficiency and sustainability as primary goal.• Lowers overall construction costs.• Easy to "assemble" in field. Virtually no field welding..• Durable, seismically sound, and non-combustible.• Decreases insurance costs.• Manufactured and constructed with precision.• Infinite architectural freedom.• Dramatically reduces overall building construction time by bringing efficiencies to all trades.

Our Vision: “Improving Lives by Changing the Way the World Builds”ConXtech® is in the process of quantifying what we call the ConXeco™ factor. The following is an overview of the ConX® system and an attempt at articulating the positive environmental impacts of utilizing ConX.

Systemized ApproachConXtech ® delivers a "mass customizable" building structure comprised of a handful of common components that can be custom configured to achieve any look an architect may envision. ConXtech ® has systemized not only the structural steel building components, but everything from design to engineering to manufacturing to assembly in the field. The resulting structure is the "chassis" to which other modularized systems can be added. This approach allows ConXtech ® to offer a particularly "green", remarkably affordable and sustainable structural solution for multi-family, mixed-use, office, data center and parking structures - as well as industrial applications such as refinery, pipeline and petro-chemical structures.

Leveraging Technology ConXtech ® structures are designed and manufactured in a highly automated factory environment utilizing CAD/CAM, robotics, CNC machining and other state-of-the-art technologies. Although these technologies have been employed in the automotive, aerospace and a host of other industries for decades, the construction industry has been particularly slow to innovate or adopt technology for a variety of reasons. Now, as the world begins to recognize the value of building more sustainable communities, “Technology” is the key to cost control and quality and will enable unprecedented efficiencies in the use of materials and time and energy in the built environment.

Building Higher…AffordablyThe urban skyline is particularly void of structures in the 5- to 12-story range because: (a) wood is limited to under 5 stories; (b) concrete becomes more economically feasible when building beyond 10 or 12 stories; and (c) conventional steel is typically more expensive than other methods of building.ConXtech ® delivers seismically sound, sustainable structures that can be built higher than wood but more affordably than concrete or conventional steel structures. The ConX system allows developers to build higher than wood, enabling a parcel of land to "work harder" at 8-12 stories than at 4 or 5 stories. The cost of land is amortized across more units. ConX gives architects, developers and municipalities an additional tool with which to optimize land use and to deliver compelling communities to the urban core near retail, restaurants and public transit.

Efficient Use of Time, Materials and EnergyThe ConX System is inherently friendly to our environment in other ways as well: • ConX is precision manufactured in a factory environment reducing labor in the field. ConXtech ®, provides a predictable place of employment a factory - rather than varying job sites, which historically have required an entire labor force to travel great distances from home to jobsite to new jobsite. The benefits of this model are numerous as we enable employees to locate their homes and families near their place of employment. Fewer miles traveled means a savings in fuel, an opportunity to use public transit or bicycle to work and fewer hours commuting. Employment near home means more family time and more time to participate in our communities. • Structural steel is comprised of 65-95% recycled content.• We minimize structure, stair and exterior substrate-related waste both in the factory and at the building site. • ConXtech ® recycles all material which is considered “drop” or scrap. Our “drop” in the factory is less than 3.5%, whereas the conventional industry is 6-8%.• ConXtech ® assembles a structure in a fraction of the time (often 50% faster) compared to conventional methods and minimizes disruption to the community in which we are building.
