Construction system and method for constructing buildings using premanufactured structures

摘要

Examples of construction systems and methods of constructing multi-story buildings utilizing premanufactured and prefinished components are disclosed. Examples of premanufactured and prefinished components include floor and ceiling slabs, non-weight bearing window walls, demising walls, exterior walls, and utility walls. The premanufactured and prefinished components may be transported to the construction site and assembled at the construction site.

1. A method of constructing a multi-level multiple unit building comprising:
premanufacturing non-weight bearing walls at a site distant from a building site; positioning an exterior visible primary load-bearing steel assembly at the building site that provides lateral outermost planar surfaces of the building that are offset and external to any outermost planar surfaces provided by premanufactured non-weight bearing walls after the building is constructed; pouring at least a first monolithic concrete slab, a second monolithic concrete slab, and a third monolithic concrete slab at the building site; lifting the third monolithic concrete slab, wherein a top surface of the third monolithic concrete slab comprises a roof of the building and a bottom surface of the third monolithic concrete slab comprises a ceiling of a building level below the third monolithic concrete slab; employing a top surface of the second monolithic concrete slab as a shared floor of an upper building level comprising multiple units; employing a bottom surface of the second monolithic concrete slab as a shared ceiling of a lower building level comprising multiple units; and attaching the non-weight bearing walls to the bottom surface of the third monolithic concrete slab and the top surface of the second monolithic concrete slab.
