The Frame Changes Everything.
A patented aluminum framing system for homes and commercial buildings. Stronger than wood. Faster than steel. And it never rots, rusts, or attracts termites.
Our aluminum beams are made in a factory to exact measurements, then bolt together on your job site. No welding. No special tools. A small crew can put up a full frame in days instead of weeks.
Foundation
Works with any standard concrete foundation. Slab, pier, or raised. Steel core inserts anchor the aluminum frame to the base.
Columns & Beams
Factory-made aluminum beams slide into place and lock together. Vertical columns and horizontal beams connect with simple C-channel joints.
Master Lock
Our patented locking system connects beams to columns at any angle using just bolts. No welding, no special tools, no specialized labor.
Enclose & Finish
Panel systems, glass walls, or wood cladding attach directly to the aluminum frame. Go from bare frame to weather-tight in days, not weeks.
See how aluminum stacks up against wood and steel on the things that actually matter when you are building.

Your ADU, Built in Weeks
Where a traditional build takes 6-12 months, a Core X Frame structure can go from bare ground to move-in ready in a fraction of the time. Less disruption to your life, faster return on investment.
Built to Last a Lifetime
Aluminum doesn't rot, warp, crack, or attract termites. Your frame is essentially permanent. No re-framing, no structural surprises decades down the road.
Design Freedom
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls, dramatic rooflines, open-plan interiors. The aluminum frame's strength means fewer compromises.
