ABSTRACT:
A building having an equal number of exterior wall and roof sections is constructed of prefabricated building units each having a roof section and wall frame section pivotably affixed for relative pivotal movement. The building units are erected in pairs on a foundation assembly by a temporary central column thereat at the upper end of which is temporarily affixed a roof section bracket and is a cable-operated hoisting assembly located above the bracket. Each pair of units is oriented on the foundation on opposite sides of the central column in a folded condition with the roof sections superimposed over the wall section frames and with the inner ends of the roof sections adjacent the column, and the inner ends of the roof sections of the pair of units are then engaged and lifted by the hoisting assembly to an elevated position at the bracket from which the roof sections incline downwardly while the wall section frames are moved outwardly from the central column. The roof sections are then fixed to the bracket, and the wall section frames are fixed to the foundation. Following the erection and affixation in place of each pair of building units, the central column is detached from the bracket and is removed, and the building is finished as desired.
