A modular building structure with relative integrated plants, as obtained by assembling a plurality of module frames to obtain a complex frame, allows associating ducts of one or more plants to the module frame. The module frames have a parallelepiped-like shape and are identified by beams joining in respective angles, including a plurality of connecting knots joining module frames adjacent to the angles; the adjacent beams of side-by-side module frames are spaced apart by the knots and the panels and are connected to the beams of the module frame thereto, so as to create an air gap. The integrated plants have a plurality of ducts arranged in the air gaps and in the through channels, which include, at edges or angles of the module frame, quick connections for connecting the ducts related to a module frame to those of another module frame placed side-by-side thereto.

A building is constructed by providing a subfloor and forming a hole in the subfloor. A hole protector includes a cylinder, a skirt disposed around the cylinder, and a cap disposed on the cylinder. The hole protector is disposed over the hole with the cylinder extending into the hole. The hole protector is fastened to the subfloor. The cap is removed from the hole protector. An MPE is disposed through the cylinder.

A modular building structure, obtained by assembling a plurality of module frames to obtain a complex frame is provided. The structure includes walls and floors implemented by cladding panels, and the module frames have a substantially parallelepiped shape. The structure includes connecting knots joining module frames adjacent on a same plane, on the lower side or upper side, at angles, or which provides for the connection of the module frames to a basement or to a roof structure. Each knot has a box-like structure with an inner core shaped like a hollow straight parallelepiped, formed by six walls facing two by two, each wall has an opening that form respective channels opened according to orthogonal axes. At each opening, the knot includes a corresponding supporting plate, parallel or orthogonal therebetween; each supporting plate, extending beyond the plane defined by one or more adjacent supporting plates, defines a respective rest.

A duct assembly, to house and route utilities for example in floors, walls and overhead spaces, including a plurality of tracks connected together with a plurality of joint bars, where each track includes a bottom side, opposed side walls separated by a central wall and an open top. The assembly includes a shelf support partway along the wall between the bottom side and the open top to support a plurality of middle covers defining a lower chase. The assembly further including a plurality of top covers removably connected to a top of the tracks to define an upper chase.

A building based on a large-space structure body and a freestanding external envelope structure and a construction method, wherein the building comprises a structure body composed of a vertical-structure reinforced concrete member, a reinforced concrete girder and a reinforced concrete slab, and a freestanding combined external envelope system externally hung in a periphery of the structure body; and the structure body is made of a prefabricated combined reinforcement cage member poured with concrete, the prefabricated combined reinforcement cage member is combined and assembled by a prefabricated vertical-structure reinforcement cage member, a prefabricated girder reinforcement cage member and a prefabricated slab reinforcement cage member, and the prefabricated vertical-structure reinforcement cage member is a prefabricated shear wall reinforcement cage member or a prefabricated column reinforcement cage member.

The present disclosure relates to components and methods for a modular building system, used as mid-rise residential and office building, to pre-fabricate and assemble the system quickly, easily and simply. More particularly, it relates to a building temporal self-supporting panel system invention that includes formwork, structural rebars and insulated panels for the purpose of wall, floor and roof. The panel system is composed of a number of layers and a temporal-structural frame, integrating all constructive elements needed: temporal structural capacity, thermal and acoustical insulation, impermeability and pre-installations; designed considering operation, function, fabrication and assembling.

The invention relates to a building concept wherein locations of rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens can be easily changed during the lifespan of the building. These rooms may be positioned in several locations almost everywhere in the building and the building may be easily remodeled during its lifespan. The invention is based on providing at least one space part that comprises a floor defining the area of the space part and at least one length of non-load bearing wall bordering the perimeter of the floor and at least one load bearing vertical duct element having at least one vertical cover wall that can be at least partially opened in order to provide access to the inside of the element.
