Our systems allow you to complete your superstructure in an expedited timeframe, reducing the building costs associated with traditional construction. Standard or custom components, including pre-finished interior and exterior panels in a range of building material options, allows for design flexibility and can adapt to unique client demands. Tighter tolerances and precision assembly processes dramatically reduce site issues, allowing your project to advance with previously unthinkable speed, accuracy and economy.

Prefinished external panels

Watertight and airtight assembly of pre-finished exterior panels

A-Linx has invested nearly a decade into refining our exterior panel assembly processes, always with the goal of resolving industry-wide challenges of waterproofing, air sealing and fire rating. Our processes now deliver to the highest industry standards.

Light-gauge steel superstructures

Advantages of light-gauge steel superstructures

Offers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material
Steel is dimensionally stable - it does not expand or contract with moisture content
Steel is 100% recyclable and non-combustible. Not vulnerable to termites and mold
Steel is inorganic - it will not rot, warp, split, crack or creep
Steel's high strength results in safer structures, reduced maintenance and slower structural aging
Lighter structures with stronger connections result in higher resistance to seismic forces. Reduced probability of damage in high winds.
A-LINX render

With A-Linx panelized components superstructure completion times are typically 35% faster and overall costs are typically 20% lower than structures erected using conventional methods. Our factory-made components:

  • are assembled to high-precision standards
  • dramatically reduce production waste
  • are adaptable to a wide variety of design approaches

Six advantages you can't afford to ignore:

REDUCED MATERIAL WASTE
Zero net material waste incurred compared to traditional methods. Result: tighter cost control.
LEAN MANUFACTURING APPROACH
Systemic approach to building safely, quality first, cost-focused and efficiency oriented. Result: optimal product, significant cost savings.
LIGHTER FOUNDATIONS
Lightweight components reduce the required bearing capacity and increase efficiency. Result: significant cost savings
LIMITED STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Better materials management reduces on-site storage and space-usage requirements. Result: ideal for compact work sites.
EXPEDITED ERECTION

Panelized System

Elements of A-Linx panelized system

1. Floor assemblies
A-Linx uses a variety of floor systems, including composite decks, hollow-core plank, open web steel joists, and standard C-joists.
2. Exterior walls
Exterior wall sections are typically shipped with insulation, air barrier and sheathing in place. They can also be shipped with a variety of pre-installed exterior finishes, i.e. EIFS, faux brick, hardy board or aluminum paneling.
3. Prefab panels
Load- and wind-bearing panels are designed using specific gauges and dimensions based on load requirements to support the building's complete superstructure.
4. Structural steel
Structural steel elements such as posts, angles, HSS and W sections, are included as required to provide added strength for point loading and to support larger spans.
5. Lintels
Steel stud/track or structural steel beams are installed above most windows and doorways to distribute load across open spans.
6. Slab shoring
When required, these temporary beams support the floor slab while the concrete is being poured and cured. They are strategically located to allow roughing in of interior walls on below floors.
Typical inclusions not illustrated
  • Cast-in-place cores
  • Pre-installed windows and doors
  • Prefabricated mechanical openings

Precision, economy and a faster path to a watertight superstructure

PRECISION & RELIABILITY

The construction industry is already moving toward systems-based operations that shift traditional field work into controlled off-site facilities, backed by standardized build processes that ensure benchmarked quality standards. A-Linx delivers all the benefits of precision, factory-based component assembly.

MANAGING TOTAL COSTS

Value-streamed assembly processes maximize production efficiencies and streamline component delivery to the site. Front-loaded planning allows for value engineering and for cost-containing strategies to be designed into the entire structure. In every aspect, the A-Linx approach drives competitive costing.

REDUCING ERECTION TIME

Pre-fabrication reduces build times on site by 20% compared to traditional methods. It significantly reduces weather-related delays allowing you to get to a watertight superstructure in previously unthinkable timeframes. Interior finishes can advance at an accelerated pace and clients enjoy a shorter timeline to facility opening and occupation.

SUMMARY OF BENEFITS TO OFFSITE CONSTRUCTION

  • Reduced number of skilled workers needed on site
  • Enhanced workmanship and factory-built precision
  • Improved quality control and production efficiencies
  • Reduced time to watertight superstructure
  • Reduced total superstructure install costs

Bottom-line savings that deliver a competitive edge

The A-Linx Light-Gauge Steel system delivers a revolutionary competitive advantage - primarily through reduced erection times and a significantly reduced materials cost.

The reduction in materials usage and the associated cost savings are reflected in the finished superstructure weight. Comparison of typical weight by construction method:

METHODLBS / SQ. FT. COMSLAB55 CAST IN PLACE95 PRECAST*65 *To achieve sound attenuation comparable to comslab, precast requires 75-90 lbs./sq. ft.

Lighter-weight structures can be erected over less stringently engineered foundations and footings, again, resulting in lower overall build costs.

Other significant savings, as we've detailed throughout this site, also arise from:

  • Reduced need for expensive skilled trades on site
  • Reduced exposure to weather delays results in lower downtime
  • Assembly processes in our factory are cost controlled for maximum economy
  • Controlled materials procurement and handling in factory result in reduced waste
  • Front-loaded planning allows for value engineering and for cost-containing strategies to be designed into the entire structure

The bottom line results of these and other factors dramatically validate our claim to offering a significant competitive edge as compared to traditional building processes.

True Volumetric Building

A-Linx delivers volumetric structures that radically change the construction landscape

True Volumetric Logo

A-Linx is the manufacturing and installation arm of True Volumetric. Its modular structures are engineered to advanced manufacturing-sector tolerances, delivering uncompromised dimensional stability from factory floor to final set. That level of precision rewrites construction economics, collapses timelines, and unlocks a level of fit and finish the industry has never achieved. This is the breakthrough that turns offsite construction from a promising concept into a decisive, category-defining advantage.

Metaloq Worker

Metaloq technology: the heart of an industry-changing innovation

Corner beams connected

Every A-Linx module is built on a proprietary METALOQ frame using fabrication techniques that include laser cutting and press braking to achieve final volumetric frame tolerances of approximately ±0.01 inches (H) and ±0.03 (L) with near-perfect squareness. This level of precision, coupled with our own expertise in exterior panel finishing, enables:

  • consistent, repeatable stacking
  • flush structural and envelope interfaces
  • predictable waterproofing conditions
  • automation-ready alignment for future manufacturing integration

Designed to disrupt construction conventions

Radically altering the construction landscape across a wide spectrum of case uses, one module at a time.

Unlike conventional offsite systems that import traditional construction materials into a factory-based production, True Volumetric applies proven manufacturing principles for precision, repeatability, and tolerance control. The result is a unique product that performs reliably from factory assembly through transportation, stacking, and long-term building service. Our METALOQ-based structures are ideally suited for modular projects requiring high precision, repeatability, speed to market, reduced manufacturing complexity and, ultimately, solid bottom-line economics. Typical use cases include:

  • Hospitality (hotels, extended-stay)
  • Multi-family residential from entry level to luxury
  • Student housing
  • Medical and healthcare facilities
  • Correctional facilities
  • Institutional and civic buildings
