Received 02/07/2013 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a building construction. In one form of the present invention there is provided a prefabricated building unit for transport as an ISO
standard shipping container.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
There is a need for affordable and sustainable mass produced buildings, and dwellings. The current techniques of building houses, for example, are typically very manual and expensive.
Most of a typical house is constructed on site. Skilled labour is required to build the house and connect the required services. Furthermore, it takes a considerable amount of time, typically many months, to build a house.
It is against this background and the problems and difficulties associated therewith that the present invention has been developed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, there is provided a building having internal flooring and a central roof section between two butterfly roof sections, wherein:
the building is partly formed from a container having a floor, removable side walls and a roof;
the internal flooring is formed by horizontally abutting the removable side walls of the container against opposite side edges of the floor of the container;
the two butterfly roof sections are formed by roof modules hinged in series along opposite side edges of the roof of the container; and the central roof section is formed by the roof of the container;
wherein at least one of the removable side walls of the container has a removable portion that forms external flooring of the building; and wherein an amenities module is insertable into a cutout left in the at least one removable side wall after removal of the removable portion therefrom.

The present invention also provides a method of forming a building having internal flooring and a central roof section between two butterfly roof sections, the method including:
providing a container having a floor, removable side walls and a roof;
forming the internal flooring by horizontally abutting the removable side walls of the container against the floor of the container, forming the two butterfly roof sections by hinging roof modules in series along opposite side edges of the roof of the container;
wherein the central roof section is formed by the roof of the container;
wherein at least one of the removable side walls of the container has a removable portion that forms external flooring of the building; and wherein an amenities module is insertable into a cutout left in the at least one removable side wall after removal of the removable portion therefrom.
The present invention further provides a kit of parts for forming a building having internal flooring and a central roof section between two butterfly roof sections, the kit of parts including:
a container having a floor, removable side walls and a roof, wherein the internal flooring is formed by horizontally abutting the removable side walls of the container against opposite side edges of the floor of the container; and roof modules that are hingeable in series along opposite side edges of the roof of the container to form the two butterfly roof sections;
wherein the central roof section is formed by the roof of the container, wherein at least one of the removable side walls of the container has a removable portion that forms external flooring of the building; and wherein an amenities module is insertable into a cutout left in the at least one removable side wall after removal of the removable portion therefrom.
According to a first aspect of preferred embodiments herein described there is provided a building construction comprising a body portion having a floor extension adapted to extend from the body portion and provide a floor area wherein the floor extension includes a fitting facility for receiving a building module.
According to a second aspect of preferred embodiments herein described there is provided a building construction having a body portion of a box configuration suitable for transportation AMENDED SHEET

Received 02/07/2013 as a transport container wherein the body portion has an upper structure having at least two elongate upper external edge portions with a gutter arrangement disposed inwardly of and along at least one of the two elongate upper edge portions.
According to a third aspect of preferred embodiments herein described there is provided a building construction comprising: a body portion and a gutter arrangement wherein the gutter arrangement includes a moveable hinge portion and a gutter portion, the moveable hinge portion being adapted to mount a roof extension to the body portion, the moveable hinge portion being movable to allow the roof extension to be inclined at angle relative to [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
