Kit Frames & Components

The structural heart of METALOQ system

METALOQ kit frames are made of cold formed steel designed for high-accuracy, high-volume modular production.
Built from six proprietary innovations, they are the most complete and precise volumetric framing solution available.
Stackable to 10 stories in standard configuration and 30+ stories in augmented versions, with no welding required for assembly.

The 6 Innovations

Precision Kit Frames

Precision locating features that allow facade panels to be factory installed and modules to be closed up as they are set.
Assembling dependably and accurately from inside or outside the building.

Proprietary Joist Clamp Connection

A clamped joist-to-rim connection delivers the high fixity floor structure needed for road worthiness and provides the diaphragm action required for taller buildings.

Taper-Lock Horizontal Module Interconnector

Clamped, precision, flush-topped horizontal connection and a referenceable square outside corner datum, simplifying construction rain-proofing.

Autonomous Locking System

Automated picking, placing, locking, and releasing of modules, allowing the crane operator to assemble a building with minimal ground crew involvement.

Autonomous MEP Connections

Module interconnection, dramatically reducing on-site labour and speeding up the building assembly process.

Drone Halo Guidance System

Maneuverable drone halo in conjunction with the autonomous locking system eliminates ground crew, taglines, and up to 80% of set crew working on the module stack.

Key Features

  • Stackable to 10 stories in standard configuration, 30+ stories with augmented material gauges
  • No welding required for assembly, bolted connections throughout
  • Frames produced as kits, buildable in hours with a small crew and hand tools
  • Load bearing walls or point loaded columns providing architectural flexibility
  • Outward facing “C” sections minimize thermal and acoustic bridging
  • Compatible with cementitious board and concrete floors
  • Edge-to-edge rim beam contact for exceptional force transfer in vertical load bearing and seismic applications
  • Bidirectional lateral and seismic capacity
