Container-based fabricator SG Blocks<\/a> has signed a master services agreement with international design firm Grimshaw Architects<\/a>. Under the terms of the agreement, the NYC-based SG Blocks will incorporate Grimshaw as its premier design partner for utilization across its current projects and pipeline of future opportunities; Grimshaw, in return, will incorporate SG Blocks\u2019 modular, container-based structures into its industrial design portfolio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are truly honored to be collaborating with Grimshaw, one of the premier global architectural firms in the world,\u201d said Paul Galvin, CEO of SG Blocks. \u201cAs we expand SG Blocks\u2019 footprint both nationally and on a global scale and work on larger, more impactful projects, we look forward to working with Grimshaw to create container-based facilities of the future that set the highest possible standards of excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n

SG Blocks will provide Grimshaw with a systematic integration of container-building technology, which offers the firm an accelerated time to market, as well as a high level of design customization.<\/p>\n

\u201cSG Blocks is at the forefront of innovating in the modular space,\u201d said Andrew Whalley, partner at Grimshaw. \u201cThe firm\u2019s vision and ability to be sustainable and efficient truly resonates with us and we are thrilled to be partnering with such a pioneering disruptor of the construction space.\u201d<\/p>\n
