Method and arrangement for installing building panels

A method for installing building panels, the method including;

• forming a composite building panel from a plurality of panels, transporting the composite building panel to the site of installation and lifting the composite building panel by a lifting facility into position within a building,
• the lifting facility including a lifting bar that has a U shape to fit over and receive the top or upper edge region of the composite panel to attach across the top or upper edge region of the composite panel, the lifting bar having an elongate base and attachment members that extend from one or both elongate sides of the base and that have openings or perforations to receive screws for driving into the top or upper edge region of the composite panel to connect the lifting bar to the composite panel,
• the method step of lifting the composite building panel by a lifting facility into position within a building involving bringing the lifting bar into connection with the top or upper edge region of the composite panel and attaching the lifting bar to the top or upper edge region of the composite panel by screws driven through the openings or perforations of the attachment members and into the composite building panel, connecting or hitching the lifting bar to a crane or hoist and thereafter lifting the lifting bar and the composite building panel into position within a building.
