  • Patent number: 4041671
    Abstract: A method of building homes and the like which provides relatively low cost structures of unique esthetic appearance and requiring little maintenance. The method utilizes inflatable balloons on which substantially rigid, thin shells are formed utilizing reinforced and relatively fast curing materials. The present invention contemplates the fabrication of multiple interconnected shells to provide an integrated construction form. Once this rigid construction form is provided, door and window cutouts may be made and molds and/or frames such as window molds and/or frames fastened in place so that relatively thick structural and insulating materials may be placed over the shells to provide the structural integrity of the building when cured.
