A construction element includes superposed wooden structural boards that are provided with grooved patterns at the contact interface between the boards in order to prevent the first board and the second board from sliding relative to each other along at least one axis. The construction element further includes a retention system for retaining the boards against each other at the contact interface. The grooved patterns are pre-pressed against each other and the retention system includes at least one metal threaded rod component at least partially passing through at least two of the wooden structural boards at the contact interface.

A drywall kit is provided including a wall frame, a drywall section, and a cabinet. The wall frame includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a plurality of vertical studs. A first vertical stud includes a first hole and a first bolt screwed into the first hole. A second vertical stud includes a second hole and a second bolt screwed into the second hole. The drywall section includes a third hole which aligns with the first hole and a fourth hole which aligns with the second hole. The cabinet includes a back panel. The back panel includes a fifth hole which aligns with the first hole and a sixth hole which aligns with the second hole. The cabinet and the drywall section are secured to the wall frame via the first bolt and the second bolt. A method of installation is also provided.

A construction system includes a set of constituent elements, at least one of which includes at least two superimposed folds each including at least two wooden structural boards. In this system, at least two constituent elements are fixed together by a non-adhesive fixing device and at least two adjacent folds are held against each other by non-adhesive holding device. The faces in contact with two structural boards are at least partially provided, at their contact interface, with a set of grooved patterns arranged so as to prevent the structural boards from sliding one relative to the other along at least one first immobilisation axis. A method for manufacturing such a construction system is also disclosed.

A construction system for building a home independently is provided that assists a sole home builder so that a modern home can be built without the use of heavy machinery or reliance on professionals.

A connection means for building components is described. According to the invention, a connection means can be arranged opposite on the external surface of a building component, having a body, this body comprising a case and containing at least one filling material within said case, where said filling material is more elastic than the material forming said case, said case and said filling material being adapted to receive at least one through anchoring element which can be fixed to said building element.

The present technology relates generally to a platform and concrete composite slab system used as a building material. A platform, is formed from joined, substantially coplanar boards with connector plates partially embedded between the boards such that a portion of the connector plates extend above the platform's top surface. A reinforcing material (e.g., wire mesh and/or rebar) can be arranged on the prongs or other portion of the connector plates spaced above the platform and concrete is poured over the reinforcing material and allowed to cure, forming a reinforced concrete layer that encases the connector plates and reinforcing material. The connector plates act as standoffs and help to suspend the reinforcing material in the middle of the concrete layer to increase the strength of the reinforced concrete and to fixedly anchor and bind the concrete layer to the platform, so as to establish a composite action between the platform and the concrete.
