Disclosed herein is a method for erecting a shuttering framework. The method comprises the steps of a) mounting one end of a first support to the ground or other stationary object and mounting one end of a first brace to the ground or other stationary object, b) attaching the opposite end of the first brace to the opposite end of the first support or to a position between the two ends of the first support, c) repeating a) and b) for a second support and a second brace, and d) mounting a plurality of ties between the first and second supports. Also disclosed herein is a method of casting concrete.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a modular ledger of an integrated construction system. In one implementation, the modular ledger includes a rail, having a first end and a second end. Each end of the rail is configured to receive a coupling component. The rail has a plurality of holes configured to couple to bracing components of the integrated construction system.

A modular building formwork apparatus includes a formwork wall and at least one interlocking device. The formwork wall includes a wall plate and a frame disposed on the wall plate. The frame has an aligning hole and a locking hole. The interlocking device includes a housing unit, a rotation transferring unit, a transmitting unit and a locking member. The rotation transferring unit has an input shaft and an output shaft. The transmitting unit is movable relative to and rotatable about the output shaft. The locking member has a head portion, a positioning portion and a threaded portion. The locking member is insertable into the aligning hole to permit the threaded portion to threadedly engage in the locking hole.

An interlocking device is adapted to lock two modular building formworks. Each formwork includes a wall plate and a frame. Each frame has aligning and locking holes. The interlocking device includes a housing unit secured to the frame, a rotation transferring unit having intersecting input and output shafts, a transmitting unit movably coupled with the output shaft, and a locking member having a head portion, a positioning portion and a threaded portion. The locking member is insertable into the aligning hole of one frame to have the head portion abutting against the frame, and the threaded portion is matingly engageable in the locking hole of the other frame so as to lock the two formworks.

A structure construction apparatus including a frame unit, a formwork unit and a compacting unit is provided. The frame unit is provided on a ground on which a structure is to be constructed. The formwork unit is mounted on the frame unit, and maintains structural materials in a form to be constructed. The compacting unit is disposed to be adjacent to the formwork unit so as to compact the structural materials provided in the formwork unit. The formwork unit and the compacting unit are configured to move through the frame unit so as to automatically construct the structure.

The rail has a plurality of holes configured to couple to bracing components of the integrated construction system.

A construction apparatus constituted of: a support structure comprising a support frame, a first inner support arm extending from the support frame and a first outer support arm extending from the support frame; a support extension member; a first enclosure member; and a second enclosure member, the second enclosure member positioned in parallel with the first enclosure member such that a space is defined therebetween, wherein the first outer support arm is juxtaposed with the outer face of the first enclosure member, wherein the first inner support arm is juxtaposed with the outer face of the second enclosure member, wherein the support extension member extends through the first enclosure member and the second enclosure member, and wherein the first end of the support extension member is secured to the first outer support arm and the second end of the support extension member is secured to the first inner support arm.

A wall assembly for forming an external wall on a building structure is disclosed. The wall assembly comprises a cladding and a plurality of vertical formwork members spaced along the wall assembly, and a horizontal formwork member extending along the top of the wall assembly. The formwork members are elongate profiles having a substantially constant cross sectional shape and they are arranged so that with the cladding they form an interconnected formwork defining a formwork space. A cementitious material cast within the formwork space is interconnected and forms a single underlying structural frame within the constructed wall assembly. The assembly includes connectors extending between the vertical and horizontal formwork members and the cladding on which they are mounted. Each connector extends from the cladding through the formwork space to the formwork member and is cast within the cementitious material. A method of building a wall assembly is also disclosed.
