APEX EcoBuilt

Leading Manufacturer of Aluminum Systems & Modular Housing

Aluminum Construction Materials

APEX EcoBuilt manufactures aluminum building materials for facades, ceilings, doors and windows, and modular buildings from a 150,000 m² factory. Extrusions, panels, and framing are engineered and fabricated together for project-scale applications.

Aluminum offers low weight, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. Our guide to aluminum as a construction material explains alloy behavior, thermal performance, and comparisons with steel and vinyl.

Aluminum Building Material Product Lines

APEX manufactures aluminum building materials across four product lines, from extrusion and CNC machining through finishing.

Facade & Curtain Wall
Aluminum Extrusions
Panels & Ceiling Systems
Modular & Prefab Structures

Facade Systems
Facade & Curtain Wall Components

APEX manufactures concealed, exposed, and semi-hidden frame curtain wall systems, along with full-glass, point-supported, and related connector systems. Profiles are available in 6061 and 6063 aluminum; see the 6061 vs 6063 aluminum spec guide.
- The unitized hidden frame curtain wall system uses factory-pre-glazed modules shipped as sealed units.
- Mullion and transom profiles are sized to each project’s spans and loads. See the aluminum curtain wall mullion and transom profiles.
- See the curtain wall wind load calculations guide for project planning.
Projects include West Side Place in Melbourne and the Four Seasons Luneng Hotel in Dalian.

Custom Profiles
Aluminum Extrusions & Structural Framing

APEX extrudes and CNC-machines mullion, transom, structural glazing, and other custom profiles to project dimensions. Sections outside standard curtain wall ranges are handled through custom aluminum extrusion manufacturing.
- Mullion and transom profiles
- Structural glazing and other custom profiles
- Extrusion and CNC machining to project dimensions

Panels & Finishes
Aluminum Panel & Ceiling Systems

APEX produces flat, perforated, honeycomb, and baffle ceiling panels, along with solid and honeycomb facade cladding panels. PVDF-coated cladding is available in 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.0 mm gauges.
- Flat, perforated, honeycomb, and baffle ceiling panels
- Solid and honeycomb facade cladding panels
- PVDF, powder coating, and anodized finish options
For finish selection, see the powder coating vs. PVDF vs. anodizing comparison. Aluminum baffle ceiling systems can be matched with facade finishes on the same project.

Prefab Structures
Modular & Prefab Structures

APEX’s modular and prefab range includes container houses, light steel villas, and capsule units for camps, exhibitions, and temporary sites.
- Container houses, light steel villas, and capsule units
- Solutions for camps, exhibitions, and temporary sites
- Examples include the standard flat-pack container house and the European-style 4-bedroom light steel villa
Height and seismic requirements vary by project. See modular building height limits and seismic design for high-risk zones for the main planning factors.

Process

Manufacturing Capability & Engineering Process

APEX produces project-specific aluminum building materials in a 150,000 m² factory. Extrusion presses and 5-axis CNC machining centers handle profiles, finishes, and fabrication according to project drawings.

BIM and FEA check wind, thermal, and seismic performance before extrusion. Curtain wall assemblies are also mockup-tested against AAMA water and air infiltration protocols. Related checks are explained in the curtain wall wind load calculations guide and the R-value, U-value, and SRI guide.

Aluminum's recyclability can support green-building goals. See our guide to choosing eco-friendly building materials when comparing sustainability, cost, and lead time.

Industries

Industries & Project Types We Supply

The same product lines get specified across different project types, which is part of why the range stays broad rather than narrowing to one building typology.

Commercial Buildings

Office towers, retail, and mixed-use developments specifying curtain wall and ceiling systems together.
Residential Developments

Window systems, folding doors, and facade cladding supplied at scale across multi-unit projects, including towers like West Side Place above.
Hotels & Resorts

Curtain wall and cladding matched for hospitality finishes, including the Four Seasons Dalian project above.
Temporary Camps & Remote Sites

Modular aluminum-framed units for mining, oil and gas, and disaster-relief deployments.
Office & Mixed-Use Projects

Combined facade and interior ceiling packages for coordinated commercial and mixed-use developments.

APEX has also provided OEM services to international brands in residential construction, supplying material to their specification for onward sale under their own name, and does business across 80+ markets globally.

Ordering

Ordering: Lead Time, Quantities, and Samples

Ordering details depend on the product type and project scope.

Lead time

Catalog reorders usually move faster. Custom curtain wall units and villa configurations require BIM/FEA review and profile setup before production. For modular projects, see the 90-day timeline from inquiry to site delivery.
Order quantities

Quantities are confirmed from drawings or unit counts rather than one fixed minimum. Facade packages follow elevation size, while modular orders follow unit count.
Samples

Spec sheets and finish samples for catalog products, including PVDF panels and baffle ceiling systems, can be requested before quantities are finalized.

Get In Touch

Request Aluminum Material Specs & Pricing

Two ways to move a project forward, depending on where it stands: request spec sheets, finish samples, or a drawings review before committing to a material spec, or request a formal quote with project dimensions, quantities, and finish requirements already defined. Either path routes to the same team, and both are the fastest way to get a project-scale order scoped against real drawings rather than a catalog SKU number.

Engineered Material vs. Off-the-Shelf Aluminum

Engineered material and shelf-stock aluminum solve different problems. The table below is a straightforward way to tell which one a given job actually needs.

Choose off-the-shelf stock if...	Choose engineered material if...
You need a small quantity for same-day or local pickup	You're sourcing a full facade, ceiling, or modular package
The job is a repair or a non-structural fix	Drawings define custom dimensions or finishes
No wind, thermal, or seismic review is required	Load performance needs to be modeled before fabrication
Finish matching across a project isn't a factor	Multiple product lines — panels, framing, ceilings — need to match one spec

Engineered orders take longer to move from inquiry to fabrication than a shelf-stock pickup, because BIM/FEA review and custom profile setup happen before extrusion. That trade-off is what buys the dimensional accuracy and load performance a facade or modular package actually needs.
