Abstract: A panel fixture is provided for receiving insulative blocks and trusses for facilitating fabrication of modular building panels. The fixture includes a main beam to which first and second rows of staves are mounted via respective first and second U-channel members. The rows of staves accept insulative blocks and trusses therebetween in alternating block/truss, block/truss fashion. Multiple geometry building structures are possible using the disclosed fixture alone or in combination with fixtures having multiple sub-fixtures.

Abstract: Apparatus for constructing modular buildings in which a reuseable framing structure is expanded to a shape desired of a building, building material is removably attached to the framing structure, fluent concrete is introduced to the building material, the framing structure is retracted with the building and removed. The framing structure has means for expanding its height and width. It also has means for changing the slope of its roof portion as well as changing the angles of its sides. Thus, many different shaped building can be constructed with the same framing structure.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for constructing a modular concrete shell housing unit in which complementary counterpart form assemblies are detachably connected on a supporting concrete floor slab at their inner adjacent longitudinally extending framing members, the form assemblies having first means for rolling movement longitudinally on the floor slab and second means for elevating, leveling and lowering the framing and superstructure of the form assemblies from and to the floor slab and for rolling movement of the assemblies transversely thereon toward and away from each other. An inner wall form and roof form are respectively movable and fixed components of each form assembly, the inner wall form being translatable laterally outwardly and inwardly with respect to the framing structure. A pivoting roof edge plate section is hingedly mounted to and at the lateral distal edge of the roof form.
