Abstract

The subject invention pertains to a method for constructing, transporting and erecting buildings. The subject invention also relates to buildings which can be transported and erected at a desired site. Advantageously, a specific embodiment of the subject invention can be relocatable. The subject invention is advantageous in situations where an individual or group, such as a school system or construction company, needs temporary, portable buildings which can easily be constructed and broken down for transportation to a new site. In a specific embodiment, the subject method utilizes durable construction materials to comply with building codes and withstand the rigors of years of service in a variety of environmental conditions in addition to providing rapid construction and relocation benefits.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A relocatable building section, comprising: 
 a floor panel;    a wall panel attached to a first side of the floor panel;    a first end panel attached to a first end of the floor panel and attached to the wall panel; a second end panel attached to a second end of said floor panel and attached to the wall panel.    
   
   
       2 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a reinforcing structure attached to the first and second end panels, wherein a first end of the reinforcing structure is attached to the first end panel and a second end of the reinforcing structure is attached to the second end panel.    
   
   
       3 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 a roof support structure between the reinforcing structure and the wall panel.    
   
   
       4 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 additional roof support structures between the first end panel and the second end panel.    
   
   
       5 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 3 , further comprising: 
 a roof structure attached to the first end panel, the second end panel, and the wall panel.    
   
   
       6 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 wherein the building section has an open face defined by the reinforcing structure, the first end panel, the second end panel, and the floor panel.    
   
   
       7 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a second wall panel attached to a second side of said floor panel, the first end panel, and the second end panel.    
   
   
       8 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 1 , wherein the floor panel comprises reinforced concrete.  
   
   
       9 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the wall panel, the first end panel, and the second end panel comprise reinforced concrete.  
   
   
       10 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 9 , wherein at least one of the wall panel, the first end panel, and the second end panel comprise a polystyrene composite.  
   
   
       11 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 1 , wherein the floor panel comprises relocation notches, wherein the relocation notches allow for attachment of transportation structures, wherein lifting the transportation structures lifts the relocatable building section.  
   
   
       12 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall panel comprises at least one bracing structure corresponding at least one installation brace during installation, wherein the at least one bracing structure is attached to at least two of the floor panel, the wall panel, the first end panel, and the second end panel.  
   
   
       13 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 3 , wherein the roof support structure comprise X-bracing roof supports.  
   
   
       14 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plumbing opening in the floor panel.  
   
   
       15 . The relocatable building section according to  claim 1 , further comprising of one or more building access openings on the wall panel and the first and second end panels.  
   
   
       16 . An interconnectable building section, comprising: 
 a floor panel having a first end and a second end;    a wall panel, wherein the wall panel connects to the floor panel lengthwise from the first end of the floor panel to the second end of the floor panel;    a first end panel, wherein the first end panel connects to the first end of the floor panel;    a second end panel, wherein the second end panel connects to the second end of the floor panel,    wherein the first end panel connects to an end of the wall panel and the second end panel connects to an opposite end of the wall panel.    
   
   
       17 . An interconnectable building section according to  claim 16 , further comprising: 
 a reinforcing structure, wherein a first end of the reinforcing structure connects to the first end panel and a second end of the reinforcing structure connects to the second end panel.    
   
   
       18 . An interconnectable building section according to  claim 17 , further comprising: 
 a plurality of roof support structures, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of roof support structures connect to the reinforcing structure and to the wall panel.    
   
   
       19 . An interconnectable building section according to  claim 13 , further comprising: 
 a roof structure, wherein the roof structure attaches to the first end panel, the second end panel, and the wall panel.    
   
   
       20 . An interconnectable building section according to  claim 17 , 
 wherein an open face is defined by a side of the floor panel opposing the wall panel, a side of the first end panel, a side of the second end panel, and the reinforcing structure.
