System for assembling load-bearing frame of high-rise structure

A method for assembling a load-bearing frame of a high-rise structure, the method comprising:

• providing a foundation configured to support the load-bearing frame;
• providing a lifting assembly for coupling to and lifting a plurality of columns, the lifting assembly comprising a plurality of posts,
• connecting the posts of the plurality of posts with the foundation via a plurality of fasteners;
• providing a fixture rigidly connected to the foundation and configured to anchor a plurality of columns during assembly of the load-bearing frame;
• providing the plurality of columns, wherein at least one column of the plurality of columns is connected with an adjacent column of the plurality of columns via at least one beam;
• and
• vertically displacing the plurality of columns via the lifting assembly to allow placement of an additional plurality of columns onto the lifting assembly and under the vertically displaced plurality of columns.

A tier-based system for assembling a load-bearing frame of a high-rise structure, the system comprising:

• a first tier including:
• a plurality of columns, at least one column of the plurality of columns configured to be connected with an adjacent column of the plurality of columns via at least one beam;
• and
• a lifting assembly, wherein the lifting assembly vertically displaces the plurality of columns to allow placement of an additional plurality of columns under the vertically displaced plurality of columns.
