ABSTRACT:
A method and factory for making prefabricated parallelipiped configured sections which are transported to a building site where they are joined to form completed buildings. The factory is an elongated building wherein at one end metal frameworks and beams for floor, wall, ceiling and roof panels are made and rust-proofed. Next, a plurality of paths are provided for manufacture of the panels by delivering concrete material fill within the frameworks, cast in situ at least for the floor panels. The panels are then introduced into a drying area where the concrete dries and hardens and the panels are connected to form basic structural sections and, by overhead cranes, such sections are placed in groups of five on conveyor tracts which include, in endless members, elements that move the groups of sections by pushing against the metal framework of the rearward sections -- there being a framework-to-framework junction of sections with each group. From the drying area the groups of sections are moved by the conveyor track to an assembly area which has a continuing similar conveyor track and storage facilities for plumbing and electrical supplies, wall coverings, insulation and the like and the groups of sections are moved from location to location in the assembly area for finishing operations. Finally, at the end of the factory building, the completed sections are displaced one by one by a further conveying track operation to a location from whence each section may be transported to the building site or to a storage area.
