Modular panels and system for using said panels

Abstract

Construction panel and method for construction using said panel. Each construction panel comprises a lightweight structural element and insulation material sandwiched between a multilayer of lightweight boards which may have different types of finishing. The invention discloses an innovative system for rapid, more efficient and safer construction of building structures, resulting in lightweight yet resistant structures.

1 . A modular construction system comprising:
 a plurality of structural elements,   a plurality of pre-fabricated panels, comprising a plurality of lightweight boards and insulation;   wherein said panels comprise a plurality of pre-fitted mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) first fix and a label.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said structural elements comprise U-channels, C-channels, struts and beams. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of panels further comprise lightweight structural elements. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said label may be a barcode label. 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 4 , wherein said barcode label comprises information on project, site, location, position, orientation, dimensions, dates and composition of said panel. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 1  for use in construction of internal walls, external walls, load bearing walls and slabs. 
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said panels may be used vertically, horizontally or at any angle in between. 
     
     
         8 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the structural elements and the panel composition are prepared according to building codes to withstand required seismic movement, weather conditions, fire, floods and load bearing. 
     
     
         9 . A method for building a multi-story structure comprising the steps of:
 a. preparing a floor slab,   b. preparing lightweight modular panels which comprise a plurality of lightweight boards and insulation, wherein said panels comprise a plurality of pre-fitted mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) first fix and a label,   c. assembling a structural building skeleton,   d. fixing labeled lightweight modular panels according to the information contained on said label, wherein said label may be a barcode label which comprises information on project, site, location, position, orientation, dimensions, dates and composition of said panel,   e. filling and sealing gaps between said panels and between said panels and floor,   f. pouring or making ceiling slab,   g. filling and sealing gaps between said panels and said ceiling slab, and   h. applying finishing on said panels.   
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein preparing said floor slab comprises marking the boundaries and positions of said panels. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein the steps of a. to h. are repeated for each floor.
