ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns prefabricated buildings built up of transportable prefabricated room elements each being a cell-like structure having four faces and comprising a floor panel, load-bearing columns attached thereto, and a roof or ceiling supported by the columns. In one construction in which the columns are provided at corners of the floor panel, one corner is void of a column so that when the room elements are mounted face to face, with the column-less corners meeting, an unobstructed floor area results. In another construction, a column is omitted at an intermediate point in the length of one face. The room elements are constructed at a factory, and a temporary support is inserted at each location at which a column is omitted. The room elements are transported from the factory to the building site and there assembled face to face into storeys of a building in which the room elements of each upper storey are supported on the columns and temporary supports of the room elements of the next lower storey. At or near to each temporary support, adjacent floor panels are then connected by a reinforcing element which extends across the front between them so as to support or render these floor panels mutually-supporting as in a structural whole, after removal of the temporary supports. Only when this reinforcing elements has been provided, are the temporary supports removed.
