Abstract: A modular assembly jig system for use in constructing a structural element on a construction site is disposable between an operative assembled configuration and a collapsed configuration for transport or storage. The system includes a jig platform assembly comprising a plurality of platform members, and a support assembly disposed in a supporting relation to the jig platform assembly. An alignment assembly disposed along the jig platform assembly facilitates alignment of a portion of the structural element during construction. A guide assembly having at least one guide member is at least temporarily interconnected to the jig platform assembly, and an adjustable clamp assembly is operatively positionable along at least a portion of the guide assembly. The adjustable clamp assembly retains at least a portion of the structural element in position during construction. An extension assembly is provided to increase an operative working area of the jig platform assembly.

Abstract: A portable self-supporting vertical wall assembly jig residing at a construction site can include two parallel vertical supports, two perpendicular horizontal supports, and a removable wall platform. The vertical supports can each have one hinge which reduces the height by at least one third. The two perpendicular horizontal supports can include a top horizontal support and a bottom horizontal support. The removable wall platform can be able to be removed after construction of a vertically assembled wall. When the platform is removed from the jig, the platform completely can support the wall and can be able to transport the wall to location different from the assembly jig without additional construction equipment. The wall can include a top plate, a bottom plate, and two vertical elements. The top and bottom horizontal support can include spacers which temporarily brace the two vertical elements of the wall during vertical assembly of the wall.
