The present disclosure relates to a thermal break for use in tilt-up construction. The thermal break generally comprises an elongate body comprising a thermal insulating material. The thermal break may further comprise one or more protrusions extending away from the elongate body. The present disclosure further relates to a method of constructing an exterior wall comprising the thermal break positioned between a fascia wythe and a structural wythe of the exterior wall. The exterior wall may be tilted up to a vertical position during construction of a building, and the thermal break provides a fixture-mounting surface onto which a fixture, for example a door frame, window frame, air venting grill, or other building component can be mounted.

A method for framing a structure using pre-dimensioned components comprising lower support components, framing components for assembling a series of frames, sheathing, and a template for guiding the assembly of the series of frames. The method comprises the steps of: fastening the lower support components together to produce a lower support rim; assembling the series of frames using markings on the template to guide placement of framing components; and fastening the series of frames to the lower support rim.

The present disclosure relates to an exterior wall for tilt-up construction comprising: (a) a fascia wythe; (b) a structural wythe; (c) a layer of insulating material disposed between the fascia wythe and the structural wythe; and (d) a thermal break in contact with at least the structural wythe, the thermal break comprising an elongate body comprising one or more thermal insulating materials, a first surface suitable for mounting a fixture, a second surface opposite the first surface, a first contacting surface, and a second contacting surface opposite the first contacting surface, the first contacting surface and the second contacting surface extending between the first surface and the second surface. The elongate body is substantially made of a non-wood material, and the structural wythe contacts at least a portion of the second contacting surface. The present disclosure further relates to methods of constructing an exterior wall comprising a thermal break.

A portable building, the portable building including: a body having at least one wall that is adapted to move from a substantially vertical position to a second position; and at least one slideout portion that slides outwardly from the body. The body is substantially the size of an ISO shipping container in a transport configuration.

A structure is provided. The structure includes a first component disposed in the first plane. The structure also includes a second component extending from the first component and disposed in a second plane. The second plane is inclined at an angle with respect to the first plane. Each of the first component and the second component are constructed by forming layers parallel to each other using an additive manufacturing process.

Improved tilt-up and pre-cast constructions panels and methods for providing the same are disclosed. In some implementations, multi-layered construction panels are provided, were such panels include one or more panel cores. In some cases, the panel core includes a first core body having a first slab of insulating material and a first portion of a grid body, and a second core body having a second slab of insulating material and a second portion of a grid body. In some cases, outside layers of concrete are disposed next to the slabs of insulating material, and a concrete core is disposed between the slabs of insulating material. In some cases, the grid body includes a first outside plane grid mat, a second outside plane grid mat, and an inside plane grid mat, each of which is (in some iterations) embedded in one or more layers of concrete.

The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to pouring concrete around a window frame begins by spraying a flat surface with a release, followed by positioning window assemblies on the flat surface. The window assemblies include at least a frame, and also possibly a sash, glazing and removable bracing. The window assemblies are secured to the flat surface and then concrete is poured around the window assembly to form a wall. Once the concrete cures around the frame, the bracing is removed, and the wall is tilted/lifted to a vertical position.
