A building system (5) including a panel system (10) and a formwork system (78). The panel system (10) includes a plurality of modular panels (12) arranged to fit with one another in a predetermined grid arrangement (13) to form side walls of a building in a fitted condition. At least the bottom sides (24) of each of the modular panels (12) includes a plurality of apertures (34) that are arranged at predetermined spaced apart locations along the bottom side (24) so as to coincide with the predetermined grid arrangement (13). The formwork system (78) includes a plurality of modular formwork members (80) that are associated with each of the modular panels (12) to provide a supporting slab (72) having slab apertures (76) to allow coupling with the modular panels (12). Modular panels (12), formwork members (80) and associated methods of use are also disclosed.

A sleeve assembly is provided comprising an inner tubular member and at least one outer sleeve that receives at least a portion of the inner tubular member. The outer sleeve may longitudinally telescope with the inner tubular member to move between a non-expanded position and at least one expanded position. In some embodiments, the inner tubular member comprises a first locking component and the at least one outer sleeve comprises a second locking component that interlocks with the first locking component to secure the outer sleeve in the non-expanded position and/or at least one expanded position. Related methods for making a sleeve assembly are also provided.

A method of constructing a hollow wall structure comprising: a step (A) of constructing a grout wall mold; a step (B) of grouted a curable liquid material into the grouting space; a step (C) of removing the first template wall and the second template wall so as to produce a semi-finished hollow wall having the Styrofoam board; and a step (D) of removing a semi-finished hollow wall having the Styrofoam board so as to obtain a hollow wall having a communication space. The communication space has an inflow conduit and a connection channel.

A method of constructing multiple conduits in building foundations that eliminates the process of core drilling after the foundation has been poured and set. This method creates optional openings for possible future connections. The process uses removable conduit molds installed before the foundation is poured. Once the foundation has set, conduit molds are removed to explose conduits in the foundation as needed.

An assembly for realising a lamp incorporated into a masonry wall, comprises a lamp housing that delimits a lamp seat suitable to house a lamp body, and a mould suitable to be removably fixed to the lamp housing and to the inner side of a formwork in which the pouring is carried out, so as to realise, after pouring cement in the formwork, a light-emission cavity open on the outer surface of the masonry wall. The mould is suitable to rigidly support the lamp housing before and during the pouring of the cement and is provided with mould fastening means suitable to removably fix the mould to the inner side of the formwork.

A rough-in box used during the construction of buildings having poured concrete flooring, such as multi-story high-rise buildings. The rough-in box may be used to retain an opening in the floor through which plumbing and mechanical components may be installed after concrete has been poured around the device and hardens into a slab. The present invention also relates to a method comprising the steps of assembling the side walls of a box, placing a lid made of a material stronger than that of the side walls and capable of supporting a weight of 2,000 pounds, placing the box over a hole on the floor, and pouring concrete to form a floor around the box. The box will remain in place providing an accessible penetration through the flooring with space for plumbing connections and a flush surface with the floor over which pallet jacks and workers may travel without obstruction.

A method includes coupling a platform to a sheet metal having alternating peaks and Valleys. The platform includes a block-out component configured to conform to a valley of the sheet metal. The method further includes coupling a lead-sleeve to a mounting region of the platform. The method further includes pouring concrete around the platform and lead-sleeve, where the block-out component blocks a flow of the concrete from below the platform. The method also includes inserting a cutting tool through the lead-sleeve to remove one or more portions of the sheet metal to form a through-penetration.

A method can produce an assembly for a line penetration. The method includes: (a) cutting a fire-protection mat forming a fire-protection module to length appropriate for the size of the line penetration, where the fire-protection mat has a flexible carrier element, on at least one end region of which a fire-protection tape of an intumescent material is fastened, (b) bending the fire-protection mat into a circular shape and joining opposite rims of the fire-protection mat to one another via a joining means, so that the fire-protection tape is disposed in a region of an axial end of the circularly shaped fire-protection mat, and (c) fastening at least one mechanical positioning element constructed separately from the fire-protection mat on the fire-protection mat and which is arranged in such a way that the assembly can be fastened, via the mechanical positioning element, on a wall or on formwork.

[Problem] When inspecting whether each sleeve is in the correct position, to alleviate the burden on an operator and reduce the inspection time. [Solution] When an operator captures an image of a reference marker 3 or a sleeve marker 4 using a camera C, the image is sent to a sleeve marker position analyzing means 5 for the position of each sleeve marker 4, . . . to be analyzed. Then, a sleeve marker position assessing means 6 assesses whether the position of each sleeve marker 4, . . . is suitable, by superimposing the resulting analysis data and a BIM model stored in a BIM model storage means 2. Since it is sufficient for the operator to capture an image of the reference marker 3 or the sleeve marker 4 using the camera C, the burden on the operator can be alleviated, and the inspection time can also be reduced.
