ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to the field of building construction and in particular to prefabricated framing units for constructing interior and exterior walls, floors and roofs, some of which are telescopic and fold for easy shipment and installation.
BACKGROUND ART
According to existing methods of frame building construction, a concrete foundation is formed on which wooden floor joists are laid. Walls are constructed on the foundation and floor using wooden wall studs, and a roof is constructed on the walls using wooden rafters, beams and trusses. These methods require skilled carpenters and high quality wood materials, both of which are increasingly expensive. There is therefore a need for a system for framing houses or other buildings which uses prefabricated steel framing and which is quick and easy to construct.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The invention provides a prefabricated system for framing a complete building on a foundation. Folding telescopic framing units are used for vertical partitions and horizontal floor panels.
The invention therefore provides a prefabricated system of framing units for constructing a building comprising:
The invention also provides a method of framing a building comprising:
