Less complexity.
More room for your vision.
Our aluminum beams are extruded in a factory to exact measurements, then bolt together on your site with a patented locking connection. No welding. No special tools. A small crew can put up a full frame in days instead of weeks.

From the founder
You will talk to me, not a sales team.
I spent three decades in Silicon Valley semiconductor R&D before I started Core X Frame in 2023, and I still take the first call on every project. Thirty minutes is enough to tell you whether the system fits your lot and what it would cost installed. If it does not fit, I will tell you that too.
