Abstract: A method includes measuring a first reference line inward from a first edge of a foundation slab. The method includes measuring a second reference line inward from a second edge of the foundation slab that is substantially perpendicular to the first edge and meets the first edge at a first corner of the foundation slab so that the first and second reference lines intersect at a first corner point on the foundation slab. A first corner track is placed in a first corner area so the first corner track is flush with the first and second reference lines. The method includes placing additional corner tracks in respective second corner areas so the corner tracks are flush with the respective reference lines. Edge tracks can be set on the foundation slab extending between the corner tracks, for receiving wall panels.

Abstract: Various embodiments for a wall assembly having an acoustic panel defining a plurality of thru-holes that act to break low density mechanically coupled pathways for sound transmission through the acoustic panel for reducing sound transmission are disclosed herein.

Abstract: Examples of a construction assembly include a truss hanger and an embed plate. The truss hanger is configured to support a truss structure, and the embed plate is configured for mounting to a predetermined position over a wall element and configured to engage the truss hanger to maintain the truss hanger in a fixed position relative to the wall element. The embed plate shifts load associated with the truss structure from a face of the wall element to studs of the embed plate.

Abstract: A new prefabricated wall panel is the basic unit of a new, more efficient and stronger wall system. The wall panel is manufactured from a plurality of foam sections sized to leave vertical and horizontal voids into which concrete is later poured, each foam section having an inner and outer surface and two sides; and a plurality of fastening strips. The fastening strips are longitudinal metal strips being situated between the sides of two foam sections. Each fastening strip has two longitudinal fastening strips projecting perpendicularly to the longitudinal fastening strip and the fastening strips being adjacent to the outer surface of the two foam sections.
