ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for erecting buildings is disclosed. The method involves providing frame elements of a building which may be made up of spaced columns connected together by a beam or beams which may meet at a gable. To erect the frames, each frame is disposed horizontally on the ground with bases of the columns attached by a hinge member to a footing. A spacer bar is supported with one end in a recess in the ground or attached to the frame. A tension member such as a cable is attached to the frame at the gable and is passed over the top end of the spacer post and a vehicle or other prime mover is attached to the tension member to pull the frame to erect position. Each of the hinge members may be made of a socket to attach to the base of a column and a shoe attached to a ground support footing. Each socket is hinged to the shoe by a forwardly facing slot that receives a pin on the socket. The slot is so shaped that the pin can enter it when the column is in horizontal position, but the pin cannot slip out of the slot when the column is raised away from the horizontal position. A second pin is provided which extends through flanges on the shoe and through flanges on the socket when the column is in erect position.
