- one or more of the building panels 100 may be entirely pre-fabricated off-site and delivered ready to use on-site.
- the method comprises the initial step of arranging at least one of the building panels 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 to span across temporary or permanent floor supports such as columns, band beams or wall.
- the building panel 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 may be arranged adjacent to many of the same or different building panels 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 to span a desired area.
- a concrete mixture is then poured over the one or more building panels 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and allowed to cure using typical techniques to form a concrete structure.
