A multi-sided building construction assembly having a plurality of side wall units, a like plurality of generally triangularly configured roof panels, a like plurality of combination union brackets, and a like plurality of footing brackets, with a roof center hub support having a like number of sides. The combination union bracket is configured for being received and connected atop the adjacent edges of adjacent side wall units, and include a pair of upwardly and angularly disposed roof connecting brackets. The roof center hub support has a number of side edges, each of which is disposed at the angle necessary for the pitch of the roof panel, which is supported at one end by the brackets of the union bracket member, and at the other end by the roof center hub support. The footing brackets include angularly disposed arms at the appropriate angle for the polygon, and attach beneath adjacent edges of adjacent side wall units and may be attached to a concrete slab. Footing straps are included for attachment to the footing brackets to maintain structure alignment if the structure is not to be erected atop a slab of other foundation.
A multi-sided building structure assembly comprising:
A multi-sided building structure assembly comprising:
In a prefabricated building construction having a given number of adjacent wall sections having a predetermined angle therebetween and a roof comprising a given number of generally triangular roof panels having first and second sides and an apex, said roof panels configured for coupling together at the apexes thereof and for being attached at a given pitch relative to said wall sections, tension band means interconnecting said wall sections and said roof panels for maintaining the individual alignment of said wall sections and said roof panels, and for supporting the weight of said roof, and wherein said tension band means includes a plurality of connector assemblies, each of said connector assemblies comprising first and second generally coplanar arm portions angularly positioned relative to one another at said predetermined angle for attachment to said first and second arm portions, respectively, for coupling to the lower edges of the sides of said roof panels for maintaining said roof panels at said pitch.
