ABSTRACT:
The method of constructing single story building structures involves installing upon a prepared ground surface an array of upstanding load-supporting columns in spaced parallel lines and transverse parallel rows to define bays between adjacent column lines and define a rectangular panel area between each group of four columns at the corners of each such area. Primary and secondary panels are assembled in the panel areas at a convenient working height near the ground surface with the primary panels to form the roof structure over alternate bays and the secondary panels to form the roof structure for the bays intermediate these alternate bays. Each primary panel includes beams of a length to extend between adjacent columns in a line of columns, the beams being located at each end of the primary panel, and spaced joists secured perpendicularly to these beams with joist bridging secured perpendicularly of such joists. Each secondary panel includes spaced parallel joists temporarily secured perpendicularly of the beams of the primary panels in adjacent alternate bays and joist bridging secured perpendicularly of the secondary panel joists. The endmost joists of each panel are spaced inwardly of the ends of the beams. Thereafter, the secondary panel joists are disconnected from the primary panel beams and selected panels moved into a storage position where predetermined panels overlie one another, thereby clearing a portion of the intermediate bays with this cleared portion then being available to accommodate lifting equipment which successively raises the individual panels for connection to the upper ends of the columns located at the four corners of each panel area. Gap sections are installed in the roof gaps overlying each row of columns to complete the building roofing. Essentially all electrical and mechanical facilities for the building can be installed on the panels while the panels are being assembled near the ground surface.
