A composite wall, ceiling or floor panel (10), system and method, including a sheet (14) having a first face (18) including at least one first mounting portion (16), and at least one formwork member (20) with at least one second mounting portion (30) arranged to engage with the first mounting portion of the sheet to retain the sheet and said at least one formwork member together. Structural support comes from piers (for a wall) or beams (ceiling or floor) formed in the spacing between adjacent formwork members. The formwork members act as the core of a wall, ceiling or floor panel. An external coating (123) is applied to the formwork members, such as spray shotcrete or render. Channels (28) formed by the formwork members defines integrated ducting for services to be run.

A combination for plumbing fixtures, particularly tiled floors with drains, is disclosed. An exemplary combination includes a substantially planar shower tray bonding disk on a flooring substrate and surrounded by a prefabricated polymer foam shower tray on the flooring substrate and at the circumference of the bonding disk. The disk includes an interior rim that defines a drain opening and a plurality of slotted openings for permitting mortar to penetrate the disk. The drain opening in the disk can thus be positioned at a drain cut out in the flooring substrate.

A small, heavy duty, transportable building having pre-manufactured panel assemblies made out of magnesium oxide for the floor, wall and roof that are quickly fastened together, on site, using common metal screws. All building materials are inorganic for extreme mold and mildew resistance. Furthermore, the building panels are configured and fastened together for inherent insulative fire and flood resistant properties. Commercial metal strut forms an economic protective perimeter around the magnesium oxide surface panels, and offer a fastening means to adjoining panels. The uses of the building (bunker, enclosure, shelter, shed, little-house, etc. . . . ) are myriad and not intended to be limited in usefulness. In addition, the building configurations and square footage options are limitless, single wide building ways, storied if desired. The design also allows manufacturing of the panel assemblies with common, hand tools, power tools, and welding equipment. No crane is needed for building erection.

Gypsum panels, methods for their manufacture, and systems and methods for monitoring environmental conditions with such panels are provided herein. The panels include a gypsum core having a first surface and an opposed second surface, a first facer material associated with the first surface of the gypsum core, and an environmental sensor assembly associated with the gypsum panel and configured to detect an environmental condition of the gypsum panel and wirelessly communicate data on the environmental condition to a reader.

An insulation board assembly includes an insulation board body that has a front face, a back face, a top edge, and a bottom edge. The back face has a drainage channel extending from the top edge to the bottom edge. A drainage insert is positioned in the drainage channel proximate the bottom edge of the insulation board body. The drainage insert has a front face, a top edge, a bottom edge, and two side edges, and an insert height measured between the top edge and the bottom edge of the drainage insert. The drainage insert defines at least one interior drainage passage extending from the top edge of the drainage insert to the bottom edge of the drainage insert. A channel height of the drainage channel is preferably at least twice the insert height.
