An improved construction system disclosed herein comprises a plurality of pre-engineered panalized or sectionalized building elements and units designed and prefabricated to include all of the basic services such as wiring, plumbing, ductwork, and the like, and materials in the form of framing structures with finished walls, flooring and ceilings adopted for ease of transport, assembly, disassembly and reassembly in accordance with flexible erection and construction processes. Each prefabricated panel or unit includes as an integral part of its structure a mechanical interconnection and interlocking means for fixedly joining each with one or more other panels along one or more preselected edge regions thereof. The interconnecting and interlocking mechanisms include a combination of architecturally sound arrangements of one or more connector plates, supporting and positioning blocks, girders or bearing plates and the like. These architecturally sound interconnecting and interlocking devices are pre-engineered and designed such that they are adaptable to meet the building code requirements of the specific community where the building is to be located. Each panel or unit is completed by having its exposed surfaces finished, and with the required utility service lines, such as wiring, plumbing, heating and the like, fashioned within the interior of the panels for mechanical, electrical and the like interconnections therebetween to provide a completely integrating utility service system when subsequently connected to incoming commercial utility supplies.

A building structure having a plurality of prefabricated panels assembled and erected in a preselected floor arrangement to form a structure wherein said plurality of assembled panels may be disassembled and reassembled to accommodate and expansion or reduction in the size of configuration arrangement of the building structure without disrupting or destroying the structural integrity of the structure the combination, comprising: a. a roof having a preselected length and width and having at least two roof panel sections connected to one another to form an apex of said roof structure and held in fixed position by means of upper and lower ridge connector plates which are connected respectively to a plurality of rafter elements of said roof panels to thereby form means of mechanically locking said panels at their adjoining edges regions in fixed interlocking relationship, each of said rafter elements extending the full length of said roof panels and being substantially paralled to one another, each of said rafters having an end remote from said roof apex with a cut-out near a lower end thereof having a pre-engineered and pre-designed configuration to which a key board and a roof panel connector plate is fixedly connected to each rafter at said cut-out to thereby link said rafters together along said preselected width of each of said roof panels to thereby form means for mechanically interconnecting said roof panels to one another section of said building structure; b. a ceiling having at least two ceiling panel sections connected to one another along one dimension by mechanical means to form a main ceiling structure therefor, a lock board connector and a ceiling band joist connector being fixedly connected along each paralled perimeter edge of said panels along one dimension thereof and perpendicular to one another along an upper ceiling joist edge of said one dimension, said cut-out of said rafter and said key board of said roof form a slot into which said lock board connector may be fitted in interconnecting fixed relationship with said rafters and said roof panel connector plate when positioned in flush alignment with said ceiling band joist connector to thereby complete an interlocking arrangement between said roof and ceiling sections; c. a plurality of wall panel sections having horizontal and vertical edges, two of said wall panel sections being connected with one another along their respective vertical edges to form a corner connection, said vertical edge of one of said wall panel sections consists of a vertical bracing stud member connected to a framing stud member in a perpendicular spaced relationship to form a first portion of an interlocking means of a corner connection, said vertical edge of said second wall panel section consists of a vertical framing stud member connected to one surface to a half stud member and on another adjacent perpendicular surface a second half stud member and a strip of structural filler material connected to said second half stud and said framing stud to thereby form an arrangement for receiving said first portion of an interconnecting means of a corner connection to thereby complete said connection; d. a floor having at least two floor panel sections each having a width and length and an adjoining edge region there between extending the full length of one dimension thereof, said adjoining edges each have a full panel girder member connected to a plurality of substantially parallel joist members along another dimension of said panel, each of said panel girder members and at least two of said joist members having a joist bracing connector plate connected there between to provide mechanical strength at their junction and to provide additional means for interconnecting said floor sections with vertical wall panel sections, a positioning plate, connected to said full panel girder member and extending the full length thereof, each of said positioning plates is connected in an upper of lower position with respect to one another to thereby form an interconnecting arrangement therebetween when placed in fitted spaced relationship to one another to further form at least one structural beam member for support of said walls, ceiling and roof; and e. a foundation for said building structure for supporting said floor panels which are set on said foundation at preselected locations thereof resting on said structural beam members formed by said floor panels at said adjoining edge regions to thereby provide support for said wall panels connected to said floor along preselected portions of said horizontal edges of said wall panels, said roof and ceiling for said building structure being connected to the horizontal edges of said wall panels remote from said horizontal edges of said wall panels connected to said floor to provide vertical support for said interconnected roof and ceiling panels to complete the erection and assembly of said building structure.
