BLOX is an integrated design-build company that manufactures large prefabricated components for buildings. It was founded in 2010 by Chris Giattina, as a spinoff from Giattina Aycock Architecture Studio. In 2014 the firm moved to a 50-acre site at the Interstate Industrial Park in Bessemer. BLOX currently employs 390 people. Its revenues for 2018 were $48.6 million.

BLOX describes its methodology as "DMC", for "design-manufacture-construct". The first major project to utilize BLOX's DMC components was Cardiovascular Associates clinic on Colonnade Parkway, completed in 2012. The company has specialized in patient rooms and restrooms for healthcare facilities, a manufacturing niche known as "modular medical pre-fab sub-assemblies", but has also delivered components for offices and other building types.

In 2019 BLOX announced an investment from the Jacksonville, Florida-based design and construction firm Haskell.
