A method of erection of a high-rise building structure formed of modular units. A row of building support structures is positioned on the foundation, preferably below grade level, one such supporting structure being provided for each modular unit. Alternate ones of the supporting structures are permanently fixed in place, but the remaining supporting structures have associated therewith a jacking means capable of raising a modular unit supported thereon by an amount at least equal to the height of such modular unit. In assembling the building, a plurality of modules is placed on the supporting structures and secured together, after which the interconnected modules are raised by the jacking means. After having been raised by an amount substantially equal to the height of a modular unit, an additional module is placed in each open space, i.e., on each of the alternately spaced supporting structures not having an associated jacking means. Thereafter, each jacking means can be lowered, with the row of interconnected modules now supported on the supporting structures not having the associated jacking means through the intervening alternately spaced modules. Additional modular units can then be placed in the alternate spaces now provided atop each structural support having the jacking means. The lowest level of modular units are now all interconnected and the above-described operation can be repeated for each additional story in the building. |
