A method is disclosed for the method of building a structure. The method includes laying a foundation; running tubing within a column form; pouring the concrete into the column form; and forming walls so as to define the structure. The walls are formed from concrete columns separated by foam. The concrete attaches to the insulation as the concrete sets. A roof is also included and formed from a plurality of sections. The roof is placed in communication with the walls.

The invention comprises a product. The product comprises a first removable concrete form having a concrete forming face and a first insulating panel insert having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert contacts the concrete forming face of the first removable concrete form. The product also comprises an elongate anchor member having an enlarged portion and an elongate portion, the elongate portion having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the enlarged portion is disposed adjacent the first end and contacts the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert and wherein the elongate portion extends through the first insulating panel insert and extends outwardly from the first primary surface of the first insulating panel insert. A method of using a removable insulated concrete form system is also disclosed.

The present invention provides a system 10 for construction of formwork where a settable compound is pourable into a cavity in the formwork and retained by the formwork to set to form a completed structure. The formwork comprises structural panels 12, 14 connected by adjustable connectors 34 for varying the spacing between the panels.

The invention relates to a reinforcing element (1) comprising a first (2) and a second reinforcing mat (3) having metal mat rods (6), which are welded at angles to each other at junction points (7), which reinforcing mats (2, 3) are held spaced apart from each other at a normal distance (9) by rod-shaped spacers (8) with respect to the first mat plane (4) and the second mat plane (5) of the reinforcing mats. The spacers are metal (8) and are permanently connected to individual mat rods (6) of the first (2) and second reinforcing mat (3) by welding connections (10), preferably resistance welding connections, wherein at least individual spacers (8) protrude outward at least beyond the first mat plane (4) of the first reinforcing mat (2) in a direction (11) pointing away from the second reinforcing mat (3) by a first protrusion length. The invention further relates to a double wall furnished with the reinforcing element and a method for producing the reinforcing element and the double wall.

An extruder apparatus for the extrusion of a strand of building material for 3D printing of a structural part includes an extruder nozzle and at least one inner element. The extruder nozzle has a discharge opening for the discharge of the strand of building material out of the extruder apparatus. The at least one inner element is designed for arrangement within the extruder nozzle for purposes of defining an inner edge of a flow cross section of building material within the extruder nozzle in order to specify an inner edge of a strand cross section of the discharged strand of building material.

Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels and improved methods for creating the same address deficiencies in the current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels use less concrete and less steel reinforcement and weigh less than current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Additionally, improved tilt-up and precast construction panels have greater insulative properties (both heat and sound) than do current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels require less labor on the construction site, thereby increasing efficiency and profitability of construction crews. Additional advantages of implementations of the invention will become apparent through the following description and by practice of implementations of the invention.

The invention relates to a system for erecting a building structure, the system comprising a foundation for receiving the building structure, and a plurality of inner and outer walls, roof and floor panels, the panels being adapted to engage each other for defining at least one story of the building structure, wherein the foundation comprises a first section and a second section, the first section being adapted to bear the load of the building structure and the second section being adapted to provide access to the interiors of the building structure.
