Buildings method of construction

Abstract

In the construction of a building, for example a house A, a plurality of composite assemblies, such as Pa . . . , are built of pairs of composite boards 2a and 3a . . . of prescribed thickness held apart by spacers 4a . . . of a prescribed width at a fixed spacing. The composite assemblies only are used to make up a wall W . . . and a ceiling C for separating upper and lower floors. Before the building of the house A begins, a flat foundation plane 24 is built of concrete over the ground E of the house A. A plurality of upright supports 21 . . . have anchor plates 21c . . . at the bottom thereof. The anchor plates 21c are secured to the foundation plane 24. The upright supports 21 . . . also include retainers 21j at the top thereof that are secured to a ground sill 23 as an outermost member of the house A. A cladding panel 22 is installed on the side of the retainer 21j to cover up the gap between the ground sill 23 and the foundation plane 24. This reduces the amount of skilled site work to a minimum, thereby giving significant savings in the time and cost of building as well as in the material cost and improving heat insulation and sound insulation.
