ABSTRACT:
A building that can be constructed quickly in a wide variety of configurations has a sill beam that runs along the perimeter of the building. The plumbing, electrical and other utility needs for the building are channeled through a cavity provided for in the sill beam. Columns are removably mounted on the sill beam according to the desired configuration with exterior and interior panels extending between the columns. Overhead, roof beams extend between columns with roof panels extending between the roof beams. Similarly, the floor is constructed of a plurality of floor panels. The panels forming the exterior walls of the building are pre-finished on both sides. The building can withstand earthquakes and other large vibrations caused by operating heavy machinery or blasting by isolating the mass of the panels extending between the columns with a mounting flange arrangement that provides a sealed connection between the columns and panels, but that allows relative movement between them if the building is subjected to vibrations.
