Benefits of technology

[0013]Using the materials and methods described herein, the present invention provides a more cost effective way of producing pre-site built modular and panel systems, which at the same time produces a faster built, stronger and environmentally safer commercial and / or residential building.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional construction is limited to those types of materials which pass the stringent fire safety codes.
In view of these delays, there are often long periods of weeks and months each year when traditional builders are idle and construction is halted or intermittent at best in the northern climate.
The conventional building materials and methods of construction described above do not lend themselves to a workable solution for the needs of affordable housing.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]As seen in FIG. 1 a first embodiment for a manufactured panel is disclosed and generally designated as panel 20. Panel 20 generally comprises a frame assembly 30, a metal lath 70, an exterior finish 90 and an interior finish 96. Panel 20 can be preferably attached to a concrete slab 25, which has been previously been formed through conventional practices. FIG. 2 illustrates a second embodiment for the manufactured panel which is highly similar to the first embodiment, with the addition of lateral wall channel bracing provided, which can be preferably equally spaced up the wall and attached to the metal studs of the frame assembly 30. In one non-limiting embodiment, lateral bracing can be spaced out in ⅓rd lengths of the wall height, though such is not considered limiting. Though also not considered limiting, the lateral bracing can be preferably provided for commercial buildings and a panel 20 without bracing can be used for residential buildings. The below description for the...

Abstract

A building modular and panel system for construction using prefabricated modular panels. The system includes top and bottom plates connected to metal studs. A high rib metal lath with moisture barrier backing can be secured to and covers the metal studs. A light weight gas injected concrete/plaster seizer mix is sprayed over the metal lath to create the structural panel. The structured panel is preferably bolted to the slab. To provide further support, especially in a commercial setting, one or more lateral wall channel bracing can be attached to the metal studs.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to building construction and building materials and more particularly to a novel modular and panel system for a building and novel method of construction of the building.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]The three basic components for residential construction shells generally are the foundation, the frame or skeleton and the skin. The foundation includes contiguous structural elements typically set on contiguous concrete footing poured into excavations in the ground beneath. The frame includes the floor, the exterior walls, and the roofing joists. The skin has both exterior and interior applications and includes whatever materials or layers that are applied or connected to the frame. The skin also includes insulation, drywall, roofing systems, etc. The house or other building (collectively referred to as “building”) is put together piece by piece outdoors where all of the...
