A connection utilizing a joist hanger to hang a joist or beam from a wood structural support member such as a top plate or header in cooperation with a first plurality of fasteners such as screws or nails and one or more substantially vertical fire-resistant panels such as drywall.

The innovation relates to a pool covering system that is usable as a flooring surface. The pool covering system includes brackets and support beams spanning the pool opening. The beams provide structural support to cross members and flooring placed on top of the beams. The pool covering system does not require significant drainage of the pool and does not damage the pool structure during installation and use.

This invention relates to a demountable cassette construction system for building a structure comprising one or more demountable cassettes, wherein the or each of the one or more demountable cassettes are attachable to one or more adjacent demountable cassettes via demountable joints, wherein the demountable joints permit the one or more demountable cassettes to be removed from a structure without removal of and/or damage to the or each of the one or more adjacent demountable cassettes.

A construction module for use in a modular construction system, which improves the aesthetic finish and facilitates the operation and assembly of the elements comprising it, said constructive module being formed by at least two units of material and by at least one cylindrical bar that go through the at least two units of material transversely through perforations, wherein said at least one bar comprises on its surface at least two threaded sections separated by a smooth section, each threaded section being located inside each unit of material. The disclosure also consists in a modular construction system configured by at least two construction modules and in a method of assembling a modular construction system.

A building includes a floor located between an upper floor and a lower floor. The floor includes first floor extending members and second floor extending members that intersect the first floor extending members. The first floor extending members and the second floor extending members are made of wood. A reinforcement member is arranged in at least one of a section between two of the first floor extending members and a section between two of the second floor extending members.

A modular partition system comprises a plurality of panels and at least one connecting strip. Each of the plurality of panels comprises two support members extending generally perpendicularly to a plane of the modular partition system and a central panel extending between said two support panels. The plurality of panels are arranged such that the central panels of each of the plurality of panels are generally mutually parallel and one support member of each of the plurality of panels is adjacent to a support member of an adjacent panel. The at least one connecting strip cooperates with a support member from each of two of the plurality of adjacent panels so as to connect said two of the plurality of adjacent panels.

A volumetric modular unit constructed at a modular unit factory and shipped assembled to a modular building project site is disclosed. A modular building constructed from shipped volumetric modular units is also disclosed. Features of a volumetric modular unit and modular building are designed to account for and leverage traditional building practices. Shipping constraints often dictate volumetric modular unit design constraints. The volumetric modular unit and modular constructed building addresses both design needs and shipping constraints to leverage more economical resources available at a volumetric modular unit manufacturing plant.

A modular system for the dry building of structures for constructions, such as walls, floors, balconies, roofs or the like, includes a plurality of planar modular beams that define a respective plane and that are mutually jointed, and a plurality of planar panels anchored thereto at least at or in proximity of the end portions of the same planar modular beams.
