[0002] For the facade of a multi-storey building, the facade is attached to the multi-storey building after the building is erected. It is known to use prefabricated modular elements. Therefore, a known method of constructing a multi-storey building involves erecting prefabricated facade elements. In addition to floors at any height of the structure, walls of the structure and, in some forms, windows are provided. Safety rails or scaffolding are required to provide access to the building. This involves the steps of i) erecting a scaffold or perimeter screen, and ii) extending the scaffold or perimeter screen upward from the ground or slab. iii) erecting supports for the upper floor; and iv) forming the upper floor. v) repeating the steps until the required height of the structure is reached; and vi) using scaffolding or perimeter scaffolding. vii) removing the lean-to; and vii) attaching the exterior facade to the structure. Alternatively, a known method involves constructing safety rails on any floor of a multi-storey building to prevent falls. This may include utilizing a harness for this purpose.

This document is not an admission that any information contained herein forms part of the general knowledge in the art of the United States or any other country. I want you to understand that. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In its broadest sense, it refers to the erection of a multi-storey building in which the facade is installed before the floors are laid. Thus, this methodology involves first constructing the floor structure of the building and then This reverses the traditional approach of attaching a facade to the floor structure. The inner structure is enclosed by a facade that forms a safety barrier envelope during its construction. This allows for efficient construction from the side outwards.
[0005] The construction process involves installing part of the facade, erecting the floor, extending the facade, and then An iterative approach can be followed to allow the next floor to be erected.
[0006] This method involves constructing a multi-storey building without the need for scaffolding or perimeter screening. This has the advantage of saving material costs during construction. It also significantly improves construction time. The facade precedes the construction of multi-storey buildings. and erect at least one subsequent floor within the facade envelope. To achieve this, a new construction process is provided that speeds up the construction of floors, and the floors are installed. There is no need to install separate safety barriers while the construction is underway, while construction workers and equipment can be safely installed afterwards. It can be constructed from the inside of the building to erect the adjacent floors. offers integrated connectors that allow subsequent floors to be quickly connected to the facade You may do so.

[0016] In some forms, the facade forms a framework. In some embodiments, the framework is formed from a plurality of interconnected frames. They form part of the facade panels. In other forms, these frames (with a more three-dimensional shape) The modules are formed as part of interconnected modules (each having a shape).
[0017] The advantage of using frame construction for facades is that they have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than panels. and can be easily connected to each other (using mechanical fasteners and the like). and can support a variety of infill materials and structures. For example, the infill element may be a window or door, or a replaceable barrier material. The frame may also be used for other purposes such as services, loading platforms, balconies and the like. It can be used to support or carry components.

[0023] If the facade assembly is a more modular structure, the depth of the modules may vary. In some configurations, these depths are 300mm, 60 In some embodiments, these modules may form part of the remaining floor construction of the building.
[0024] In some configurations, the building floors are erected on the upper or lower edges of the panels or modules. In some configurations, the floor is arranged so that the joints between adjacent panels In some embodiments, the facade assembly may span the floor facade. The device may include a connector to facilitate connection to the
[0025] This method involves the construction of multi-storey buildings without the need for expensive scaffolding or perimeter screening. This method also has the advantage of increasing safety. The facade acts as a surrounding screen or scaffolding to prevent objects from falling off the structure. This method means that the scaffolding can essentially be integrated with the exterior wall or exterior of the building. .
[0026] In some configurations, the facade panels are permanent facades, including fall protection and windows. It is made of a material strong enough to function as a
