BZI® Announces Its New ExoClip™, ExoWall™ and EntroDeck™ Products Are Now Available for Architects and Engineers to Integrate Specs Into Early Stages of Building Design to Further Enhance Safety and Efficiency

BZI® announced today that three proprietary construction breakthroughs, ExoClip™, ExoWall™ and EntroDeck™, are now available for architects and engineers to incorporate into building designs from the earliest planning stages. The new suite of innovations spans substructural seismic protection, unitized wall systems, and prefabricated structural panels — each designed to bring measurable improvements in safety, speed, and build quality. Today’s announcement also marks the branding of proprietary BZI products, reflecting the company’s continued expansion of integrated offerings across the full construction lifecycle.

“Our focus on productization to enhance building performance is a critical component of BZI’s wholistic customer experience,” said James Barlow, CEO of BZI. “Safety, efficiency and quality are more than a growing brand attached to our company and affiliates. Our integrated and proprietary innovations, products, services and processes span all phases of construction and are proving to have a significant impact on risk mitigation and provide a higher certainty of seamless, smooth execution of top-caliber building projects.”

BZI’s Proprietary Top-Down, Prefabrication Building and Systems

ExoClip™ ExoClip is designed to separate the building facade from the primary structural system. During seismic events or building movement, ExoClip dampens and reduces transferred forces, protecting the envelope and its connections. Unlike rigid connectors that transmit movement directly into the facade, ExoClip functions like a shock absorber, allowing the structure to move while minimizing impact on the envelope. This reduction in transferred load can bring facade systems within acceptable performance thresholds, allowing IMP providers to warranty products that might otherwise be excluded. Additional benefits of ExoClip are lateral and in-plane loads. The design is very effective at absorbing load in high winds as well as expansion and contraction environments.

ExoClip joins BZI’s growing portfolio of construction products, equipment, tools, and processes — expanding the resources available to engineers, architects, and end-users. It is part of a broader suite of top-down, prefabrication, and panelization solutions, several of which have been recently renamed to better reflect their expanded capabilities:

ExoWall™ ExoWall™ is a complete, unitized IMP wall panel system, including panels, fittings, and engineered connections, assembled into large panel sets and installed on site. This product offering, an industry first, is warranty eligible by IMP manufacturers and specifiable directly into project plans by architects and engineers. ExoWall is made possible through BZI’s exclusive equipment and processes, including the WallMaster® and WallTable™. ExoWall transforms traditional IMP installation by accelerating project delivery in a safer, and more cost-effective building-envelope solution.

EntroDeck™ EntroDeck is a complete roof or mezzanine panel built at ground level, enabling a controlled, top-down erection process that improves speed, safety, and efficiency. Panels are constructed using the PanelTable® system, then lifted and positioned using MezzMaster® for accurate placement within the steel structure. By shifting assembly from the air to the ground, teams reduce fall exposure, streamline workflows, and improve overall build quality. Unlike other installation methods, panelized sets consolidate multiple steps into a single lift — reducing labor hours and accelerating project schedules. EntroDeck brings a fundamentally different approach. Many steel structures are built piece-by-piece at elevation. Instead, EntroDeck enables a controlled, top-down strategy.

“The capabilities we are highlighting today are game changers. They reflect our consistent commitment to improving performance and safety for our teams and customers in every way, at every stage, while also elevating industrywide standards,” added Barlow.

“Safety is the cornerstone of any successful project, and BZI’s innovative expertise and dedication to safety has consistently impressed me every time we’ve collaborated,” said Billy Wilson, Regional Field Coordinator at Ryan Companies. “I confidently advocate for BZI to work on Ryan Companies’ projects.”
