DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a method for arranging lines in a floor level to be divided up into smaller rooms in the case of house and utility building, starting from an unfinished floor area, whereby a partition wall construction of random type is used as well as a floor construction for a building structure, such a floor consisting of an underlying bearing construction of for example reinforced concrete and a covering construction arranged thereon.
Known for house and utility building is the raising of a building structure from a bearing construction consisting of for example reinforced concrete with which the floors and bearing walls are formed. This construction can be made of pre-cast elements or cast-in-situ concrete elements.
Further it is usual to arrange the partition walls on the floor areas, which operation may or may not be subject to the wishes of the user. These partition walls may be permanent or movable. All these systems have the drawback that the lines for gas, water, electricity and outlet pipes are fitted later, which involves much extra work with respect to channels to be hacked out and the like. Particularly in the case of prefab building the arranging of the lines demands a coordinated plan because decisions about one system (e.g. floors) are closely linked to decisions about another system. Passageways such as doors are moreover difficult to cross and special provisions have to be made for this purpose. All this makes the building cost comparatively high.
For further finishing the bearing floor is levelled off or covered with a covering construction in which the supply and drain lines have to be accomodated. With intersecting lines this may cause problems because a sufficient separation must be maintained between these lines. This requires much preparatory work such as determining the final arrangement and location of the lines, plotting the many dimensions, including the height dimensions. In addition, the floor and the different types of line are each laid by different tradesmen, which creates a coordination problem.
The invention has for its object to obviate the above mentioned drawbacks and provides for this purpose a method which is distinguished by: determined pattern of division, floor of a finishing layer, whereby the duct-like parts serve as a basis for the partition walls to be placed thereon.
The concept of the invention has as starting point that the lines, which mostly extend along or in the partition walls, must be fitted directly before placing of the partition walls, and at the location where these are to be placed. This has become possible as a result of the duct-like parts which support the partition walls, these parts accommodating the required lines. Crossing at openings such as doors is furthermore easy to perform because the lines can run along beneath the door opening. This makes possible the so-called "closed loop" in a "smart house".
In order to facilitate connecting of the lines to supply and outlet lines it is possible to have the covering layers of the floor provided with groove channels that are recessed out of it. These groove channels usually cross the partition walls and duct-like parts and therefore lines to be arranged in them so that easy connections can be carried out at the intersections.
The invention further relates to a method for laying out a space of which the dimensions along two horizontal axes re defined by a longitudinal and transverse edge of a rough floor of a building construction.
With such a method the starting point up to the current time has been the marking out of determined marker points on the covering construction of the rough floor, such marker points being used for placing of the upright parts in the space. These upright parts are for example partition or dividing walls, which normally have to be placed according to a pre-determined drawing plan. The inhabitant or user of the space has relatively little say in this matter, because the desired changes entail difficulties in system building.
The invention has for its object to i
