A building assembly for efficiently and economically constructing walls and roofs for a building assembly that utilizes a prefabricated building panel. The prefabricated panels utilize miter-cuts when joined, form cores, interior and exterior walls, and roofs, when placed together. The walls are pre-formed, offsite according to the required size dimensions and then transported to the job site. The panels are made essentially of a expanded polystyrene panel having cores and channels. Each building panel also includes vertically disposed parallel voids that are approximately 4 in. in diameter, spaced approximately 2 to 4 ft. apart, and receive poured concrete and steel rebar to provide structural rigidity to the entire building assembly. The poured concrete includes rebars that protrude through the entire channel and coring system and are embedded in the slab, and which may be extended above the wall height to bend and overlap the roof for added structural support. The building panels may be adapted for appropriately-sized walls or roofs. Each polystyrene building panel may be modified to include air conditioner and plumbing chases, as well as passages for receiving electrical, telephone, or cable wiring. The light-weight panels may be pre-fabricated onsite or at a factory enabling as few as two workers to assemble a complete building structure in as little as two days.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method for constructing a building assembly comprised of a plurality of wall panels and roof panels, said method comprising the steps of:cutting wall panels and roof panels into desirable dimensions;creating cores and channels in said wall panels and said roof panels according to pre-determined specifications;preparing a job site by pouring concrete to form a slab;inserting a plurality of rebar into said slab wherein said rebar protrude upwards from said slab to align with said cores;cutting additional passages in said wall panels to allow for utility stub outs;aligning said wall panel cores over said plurality of rebar and any said stub outs;connecting a second set of rebar to protruding rebar to form an extended set of rebar;supplying a bonding substance between said slab and said wall panels;joining said wall panels together via joining means;connecting a third set of rebar to said extended set of rebar to create a tie beam;pouring a cementations mixture to fill said cores and said channels containing any said rebar to form a wall assembly;placing said roof panels upon top portions of said wall assembly in order to align said roof panel channels with said extended rebar;adding supporting members to said roof panels in order to support said roof panels, workers and anticipated roof loads thereon;joining said roof assembly to said wall assembly via joining means;adhering said roof panels to each other via said joining means to form a roof assembly;inserting said extended set of rebar into said channels in each said roof panel;placing additional rebar into said roof channels;connecting said additional rebar with said extended set of rebar;pouring said cementatious mixture into said roof panel channels containing said rebar to form a building assembly;creating passages in said building assembly for insertion of windows, doors and utilities;inserting utilities within said passages; andapplying a coating onto surfaces of said building assembly, to add rigidity to the building assembly and to form a coated, rigid building assembly.
