Building assembly system and associated method

A method for assembling a building, the method comprising:

• arranging, at an assembly level, a bridle onto a vertical support core, wherein the bridle is disposed on a plurality of stub columns that are arranged on a base supporting the vertical support core;
• positioning a plurality bearing pads on side beams of the bridle to correspond to girders of the floor plate;
• attaching the bridle to a plurality of lift jacks that are suspended from a plurality of cables that arranged on the vertical support core;
• and
• assembling one of a plurality of floor plates onto the bridle at an assembly level proximal to the base;
• wherein assembling the one of the plurality of floor plates comprises arranging the girders of the floor plate onto the plurality of bearing pads.

A reusable bridle for assembling a building, comprising:

• a plurality of lifting beams including a first lifting beam and a second lifting beam, and a plurality of side beams including a first side beam and a second side beam;
• wherein the plurality of side beams and the plurality of lifting beams are arranged around an outer periphery of a vertical support core of the building, wherein the first lifting beam is arranged on a first side of the vertical support core, wherein the second lifting beam is arranged on a second side of the vertical support core that is opposite to the first side, wherein the first side beam is arranged on a first end of the vertical support core, wherein the second side beam is arranged on a second end of the vertical support, wherein the first side beam is connected to first ends of the first lifting beam and the second lifting beam and wherein the second side beam is connected to second ends of the first lifting beam and the second lifting beam;
• wherein the plurality of side beams are connected to the plurality of lifting beams;
• and
• wherein the plurality of lifting beams are configured to be attached to a plurality of lift jacks that are suspended from a plurality of cables that arranged on the vertical support core of the building.
