Assignee:

SUSTAINABLE LIVING TECHNOLOGY, LLC - Seattle WA

International Classification:

E04B 1/00
E04G 21/14

US Classification:

521251, 5274521

Abstract:

The present invention integrates the use of pre-manufactured structures with minimal on-site installation and lift-slab construction to achieve the construction of multi-story buildings. The pre-manufactured structures are designed to be readily integrated with both horizontal and vertically adjacent building components, including lift-slab components, so that multiple building stories may be readily and securely stacked, one on top of the other. The present invention advantageously permits top- down lift-slab construction for multi-story buildings. The present invention also provides for the development of flexible design plans for institutional, residential, office and other types of buildings. The present invention advantageously provides for easier, more efficient, faster, cheaper, safer, higher quality and more consistent, environmentally advantaged, energy-efficient, easier to maintain, intelligently designed, and customizable multi-story building construction.

Abstract:

The present premanufactured structures for constructing buildings comprises a construction system for an energy efficient multi-story building with a plurality of standard single or mixed units. The multi-story building is constructed using premanufactured structures comprising: a plurality of non-weight bearing walls, the plurality of non-weight bearing walls with finished exterior including all electrical, insulating, plumbing and communications components that are premanufactured at a site distant from a building site, and the plurality of non-weight bearings walls are attached to a plurality of floor and ceiling slabs and interfacing with each other to enclose the plurality of units of the building; a plurality of interior components that are premanufactured at the site distant from the building site to connect to inside portions of the non-weight bearing walls; and a plurality of exterior components that are premanufactured at the site distant from the building site to attach to exterior surfaces of the building. The plurality of non-weight bearing walls, the plurality of interior components, and the plurality of exterior components are installed and connected together to provide the energy efficient multi-story building with the plurality of units with different floor plans, and optionally, a retail level with underground parking.
