ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a modular construction system that includes a base foundation having pairs of anchor straps molded therein for defining intersecting vertical wall mounting surfaces and attachment points. A plurality of panels connect between pairs of the attachment points and extend upwardly therefrom, one side of each panel being coplanar with a corresponding one of the mounting surfaces, adjacent coplanar pairs of the panels being connected by a plate that extends in line with top peripheral extremities of the panels. Adjacent sides of the panels have a tongue-and-groove configuration between the panel surfaces for holding the panel sides aligned each other in a direction normal to the panel surfaces. Angle brackets connect adjacent pairs of coplanar panels at intersecting pairs of the mounting surfaces. Joists connect between spaced pairs of the plates. A slot formed between the plate and a cap that is fastened to top portions of the walls opposite the panels from the plates can support panels of second story walls. Rigid insulation panels are easily installed with covering wall board members for forming a voidless wall configuration. Installation of electrical power circuitry is simplified by mounting outlet boxes directly to the structural panels, with power cables running in grooves that are formed in the insulation, being retained by the wall board.
