Benefits of technology

[0044]In some embodiments includes a guide surface for facilitating alignment with the other building element.
[0054]Step (c) can include allowing thermally induced stresses in the self supporting unit to dissipate.

Problems solved by technology

Generally speaking, however, the prefabricated systems which have been proposed are suitable only for single storey or low rise buildings and are generally modular in their approach so that there is an inherent inflexibility that limits their application.

Embodiment Construction

[0196]In broad concept the inventor has realised that the building units per se (which delineates the interior space of the unit) can be considered separately from the structural frame of the unit, when this is implemented in a preferred form this can allow both flexibility of design an improved ease of manufacture.

[0197]In terms of ease of manufacture the building units can be manufactured to relatively relaxed tolerances, say ±20 mm, which is relatively easy to achieve. The structural frame segments can be manufactured to much tighter tolerances, say within ±1 mm so as to provide an accurate framework for the building. The building unit and associated structural frame segments assemblies can then be attached together in a manner that accounts for any inaccuracy in the building unit to form a building unit assembly for assembly into the building which has an accurately positioned structural frame segment attached to it.

[0198]The preferred embodiments provide an independent column s...

Abstract

The invention provides a method of building a building having a plurality of levels using. The building includes a plurality of building unit assemblies (2) wherein each building unit assembly is structurally self supporting and has at least one sidewall (4), a floor (8) and a roof (10), the method including the steps of: lifting the building unit assemblies (2) into position in the building so that each level of the building includes a predetermined number of units (2); connecting adjacent units (2) to one another in each level; and connecting units (2) in one level to corresponding units in at least one adjacent level that is vertically above or below the one level. In one form the building unit assembly (2) includes a building unit including two sidewalls (4) and (6) floor (8) and roof (10) with structural frame segments (16, 18, 20, 22) attached thereto.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a building system. The invention will be described in connection with construction of high rise buildings, however aspects of the invention will find application outside this field and the invention should not be considered as being limited to that exemplary field of use.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There have been many proposals to utilise prefabricated building methodologies in order to enable inexpensive and fast construction of buildings. Examples of prefabricated modular systems include those disclosed in the following prior art documents: U.S. Pat. No. 6,625,937; U.S. Pat. No. 5,706,614; U.S. Pat. No. 4,120,133; U.S. Pat. No. 6,826,879; U.S. Pat. No. 4,045,937; U.S. Pat. No. 5,402,608; U.S. Pat. No. 4,807,401; U.S. Pat. No. 4,545,159 and WO 2005 / 038155.[0003]Generally speaking, however, the prefabricated systems which have been proposed are suitable only for single storey or low rise buildings and are generally modular ...
