Underlyingwall 20 is part of an underlyingvertical level 28 in the multi-story building. In order to complete underlyingvertical level 28, numerousunderlying walls 20 may be needed. Afloor joist 30 is secured to opposedsurface 22 of underlyingvertical level 28. The purpose offloor joist 30 is to support an overlyingvertical level 32. Overlyingvertical level 32 is defined by afloor 34.Numerous floor joists 30 may be necessary to supportfloor 34 adequately.Floor 34 may consist of a concrete topping on metal docking. Anoverlying wall 36 is then installed along topperipheral edge 26. Underlying and overlyingwalls studs 37 and bracing 39.Studs 37 give multi-story building more structural support.

FIG. 9 details a method of construction using modular structures.Overlying module 138 is stacked aboveunderlying module 140. Both overlying andunderlying modules overlying module 138 onunderlying module 140, acolumn 142 of modular structures is formed,column 142 having a definingwall 144. Anunderlying wall 146 is stabilized in spaced relation tocolumn 142. Underlyingwall 146 is a prefabricated load bearing wall, underlyingwall 146 having opposedsurfaces peripheral edge 152. Underlyingwall 146 is part of an underlyingvertical level 154 of a multi-story building. In order to complete underlyingvertical level 154, numerous underlyingwalls 146 may be needed. Afloor joist 30 is secured to opposedsurface 150 of underlyingvertical level 154.Floor joist 30 is also secured to definingwall 144. The purpose offloor joist 30 is to support an overlyingvertical level 156.Floor joist 30 may be secured to both definingwall 144 andopposed surface 150 using any of the above described embodiments of joist supports 42, 62 or 70. InFIG. 9 ,floor joist 30 is secured to opposedsurface 150 usingjoist support 42. Overlyingvertical level 156 is defined by afloor 158.Numerous floor joists 30 may be necessary to supportfloor 158 adequately.Floor 158 may consist of a concrete topping on metal docking. Anoverlying wall 160 is then installed along topperipheral edge 152. Overlyingwall 160 is a prefabricated load bearing wall, overlyingwall 160 having opposedsurfaces peripheral edge 165. Overlyingwall 160 andfloor 158 make up overlyingvertical level 156. The process described above is then repeated until a desired number of vertical levels are installed to complete the multi-story building. As each overlyingvertical level 156 is secured on top of underlyingvertical level 154, overlyingvertical level 156 becomes the next underlyingvertical level 154, and the process is repeated. This construction method may be used to quickly and efficiently put up modular structures of a multi-story building using prefabricated load bearing walls. All of the embodiments of construction methods described above may be included in this embodiment. - The
modules FIG. 9 may be bathroom modules. Within overlyingmodule 138 is positioned amodule floor 166. Belowmodule floor 166 is positioned anunderlying roof 168, so that there is aplumbing space 170 betweenmodule floor 166 andunderlying roof 168. Underlyingroof 168 forms part of underlyingvertical level 154, and is lower thanfloor 158. The purpose ofplumbing space 170 is to make room for adrainage system 172 to be installed belowoverlying module 138.Drainage system 172 may be any system of drainage or plumbing devices or pipes necessary for multi-story building. Underlyingroof 168 may be supported by floor joists 30 (not shown). The embodiment of a method of building construction shown inFIG. 9 is shown in more detail inFIG. 10 . Anopposed surface 174 is positioned on the side ofcolumn 142 opposite to definingwall 144.Opposed surface 174 faces abathroom 176, while definingwall 144 faces aninterior room 177. Secured toopposed surface 174 and definingwall 144 arejoist supports joist support 70, described above. Secured to joist supports 178 and 180 arefloor joists Floor joists support module floor 166 andfloor 158, respectively. Belowmodule floor 166 is positionedunderlying roof 168. In the embodiment shown, underlyingroof 168 is secured tounderlying module 140. Plumbingspace 170 is positioned betweenunderlying roof 166 andmodule floor 166 in order to provide room for the appropriate drainage piping and plumbing elements. - In all embodiments of the disclosed method of building construction, screws 60 are used as a securing means, although other means of securing may be used. An example of an alternate means of securing may involve securing with nails or bolts.
- In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be one and only one of the elements.
- It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the illustrated embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter defined in the Claims.
