Some of the intermediate waif frames .30, 31. 32 may have doorway openings 33 formed therein, Thus, in the example shown different rooms and a hallway can be formed in the- ground floor of the prefabricated house 15 1.
End wall frames 34, 35 may extend either partially or fully between the side wall frames 20, 21, perpendicular to said side wall frames 20, 21, Window openings 37 may be provided m side wall frames 20, 21, or end wall frames 34. 35.
Referring in particular to Fig. 3 the set 4 of upper floor buildings sections 14, 15, 18 is shown. These are also of steel frame construction and are generally similar to theground floor building sections 9. 10, 11, 12 but further include a finer frame 40 interconnecting the lower ends of the side wall frames 20, 21, A stairway opening 41 is provided in the floor frame 40 of the intermediate upper floor building section 15 for alignment with the associated opening 28 in the ceihng frame 22 of the intermediate ground floor building section 10 upon which it sits in use.
Referring in particular to Fig. 4 arid F>g 5, each side wall frame 20 has a pair of integral spaced-apart lifting brackets 45 mourned at a top of the side wail frame 20, 21 adjacent each end of the side wall frame 20, 21. Each lifting bracket 45 has a rectangular frame 46 with vertical side panels 4? which are bolted to side faces Of adjacent studs 26 and a horizontal top panel 48 flush with an upper face 49 of the top rail 25. A central through-hole (not shown) extends through the top panel 48 and a bolt 5Q is welded to an inner face of the top panel 48 in alignment with the through'· hoi & for reception of 3 lifting eyebolt 52.
Referring in particular to Fig 6, an L-shaped firing bracket 60 is shown engaged' between corners of the side wail Fames 20, 21 to secure the upper floor building sections 14, 15, 16 to the ground floor buiiding sections 9, 10,11. As can be seen, the fixing bracket 60 wraps around the comer and is bolted to the top rail 25 of the lower side wall frame 20 and the bottom rail 24 of the upperside -wall frame 20 and also to ths ceiling frame 22 of the ground floor building section 9, 10, 11 and the floor frame Oof the associated upper floor building section 14,15,16.
in use, the various building sections 9,10, 11,12, 14, 15, 16 and roof sections 5, 7 are manufactured .in a factory and then delivered to a building site for assembly on the concrete slab foundation .2,
Although not shown in the drawings, the various building secttons may be fitted out with cupboards to form a kitchen for bedroom for example, arid also may be fully wired and all plumbing with kitchen and bathroom sinks, showers etc. installed prior to the delivery to the building site. At the building site lifting wires are attached to the four eyebolts 52 on each building section to lift the building section into place. The four ground floor building sections 9, 10, tt 12 are placed directly on the concrete slab foundation 2 end are rigidly secured thereto by belting or any other suitable means and they are also bolted together end to end to form a composite ground floor of the building. After removal of the eyebolts 52, the upper floor building sections 14, 16,16 can be lifted onto and placed upon the associated ground floor building sections 9.10.
11 and secured thereto by means of the fixing brackets 60 as previously described.
After removal of the kiting eyebolts 52, the roof sections 6. 7 can be placed on top of the upper floor building sections 14, 15, 16 and secured thereto and to each other.
The prefabricated house 1 can then be connected up Ιο electrical and water supplies Cladding can be attached to outer faces of the side wail frames 20, 21 and end wall .36 frames 34. 35 in the factory, or alternatively the cladding can be attached on site.
Further, if desired, an outer brickwork, or blockwork skin can be built up on the concrete slab foundation 2 outside the side wall frames 20.. 21 and end wail frames 34, 35.
Advantageously, by providing ppemboUomed. building sections for the ground floor this reduces the weight of each building section module and each ground floor module can be baited directly to the concrete slab foundation which forms the floor as with conventional clockwork house construction methods. Further, various house designs can be readily easily modularised with building sections which are factory constructed and finished for assembly on site, with minimal site works, thus greatly reducing onsite build lime .
The prefabricated house of this invention has been described 'for mounting on a concrete slab foundation. It is envisaged that it could also be adapted for mounting on W a rising Clockwork wall foundation.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in both construction and detail within the scope of the appended claims.
