A wall cavity electrical cupboard system is provided for allowing flush mounting with ready electrical access wiring that is received through holes of the cavity container and can feed along the circumferential channel and into holes of the template openings and can be connected to control means in the electrical mounting module mounted on the support brackets such as fuses, surge protectors, short circuit protection cutoffs etc. Only the front switches or indicators appear through cut outs. The channel and the template openings provide a benefit that the wiring therefore can be selectively moved around and readily connected without needing to line up the holes of the cavity container and the electrical container and with adjustability and safety of placing wiring connection behind the sealing protector plate covering the opening except for what is allowable to show through the cutouts and be mounted on the support brackets.

An extendable electrical box system includes an electrical box being portioned into a first section and a second section, whereby the first section and the second section are movable relative to each other to selectively move the electrical box from a retracted position to an extended position. In the retracted position, the electrical box may be sized to receive at least one electrical component, such as an outlet receptacle or a light switch. In the extended position, the electrical box may be sized to receive more than one electrical component.

A cover extension can be installed above or below a wall-mounted electrical panel (e.g., a circuit breaker panel) to cover an opening in the wall immediately above or below the panel. The cover extension includes a panel member, a bottom flange, and two top couplings and stop members. The flange extends downwards from the panel member bottom and is offset from the panel member so that it can fit behind the panel cover of the electrical panel to secure the cover extension bottom to the panel cover. The mechanical stops (e.g., brackets) are located on the panel member rear face and configured to each cause the respective coupling member on the panel member rear face to engage the cover extension to secure the cover extension top to the wall.

A centralized core and node system for use in an integrated component-based construction projects includes a centralized core configured to be positioned on at least one external wall of a building project. The centralized core includes a core frame to support one or more resource distribution mechanisms and a core shell connected to the frame to at least partially enclose the one or more resource distribution mechanisms and form at least one part of the external wall of the building project. The centralized core and node system also includes at least one resource node. The at least one resource node includes a node frame and at least one resource connection point. The resource connection point including a node input for connection to the centralized core and a node output for distributing a resource to a desired location in the building project.

A construction component for use in integrated component-based construction that includes a base member having a predetermined size and a marking fixed to an exterior surface of the base member. The marking including an identifier and at least one indicator, wherein the identifier identifies the base member's location in a centralized building model and the at least one indicator indicates a location of a second construction component relative to the base member.

A method of integrated component-based construction includes receiving construction project input data comprising characteristics of a construction project and preparing a centralized construction model based on the construction project input data and on a component library. The component library includes a plurality of construction components having a plurality of predetermined characteristics. The methods also includes determining a construction plan based on the centralized construction model comprising a plurality of factors and sending fabrication instruction data and factor data based on the centralized construction model. The fabrication instruction data includes fabrication instructions for the construction components in the centralized construction model, and the factor data includes grouping instructions for the grouping of the construction components into each factor of the plurality of factors. The method also includes sending assembly data based on the centralized construction model comprising instructions for completing each factor in the plurality of factors.

A plumb adjuster configured to plumb an electrical enclosure mounted to a vertical or nearly vertical surface. The plumb adjuster includes a side wall with a threaded outer surface that is configured to engage a threaded surface of the electrical enclosure. The side wall defines a cavity accessible through a first opening at a first end that is configured to receive the head of a fastener for mounting the electrical enclosure to the surface. An end wall coupled to a second end of the side wall has an outer surface configured to engage the surface to which the electrical enclosure is mounted. The end wall has an inner surface configured to engage the head of the fastener. The end wall defines a second opening that extends through the end wall, and the second opening is configured to receive a shank of the fastener.

A filler plate for a loadcenter having an opening in a deadfront includes a cover plate constructed to cover the opening; a first leg coupled to and spaced apart from the cover plate to yield a first gap between the first leg and the cover plate, wherein the first gap is constructed to receive a first portion of the deadfront adjacent to the opening therein; and a second leg coupled to and spaced apart from the cover plate to yield a second gap between the second leg and the cover plate, wherein the second gap is constructed to receive a second portion of the deadfront adjacent to the opening therein.
