In some embodiments, the framing assembly 300, or components thereof, is/are removeable and reusable. In some embodiments, the framing assembly 300 comprises a plurality of vertical supports 302. The supports 302 are structured to be vertically disposed in an underlying surface, in spaced apart relation from one another, and appropriately secured in place. The supports 302 can be any suitable material, including, for example, steel rebar. In this context, a suitable material means the supports 302 are strong enough to hold up an arrangement of support headers 304, spans 306, and associated components without bending. In other words, the supports 302 should maintain a linear or substantially linear shape throughout the process. In some embodiments, the keyboards 204 are adapted to receive the vertical supports 302. For example, a notch 205 can be cut out or otherwise be displaced from the keyboard 204 in the appropriate size and shape to securely receive the support 302. The supports 302 can be any suitable length (i.e., to accommodate a suitable height from the surface of the ground). In some embodiments, the supports 302 are structured to be one inch, or 2″, or 3″, or 4″, etc., from the desired wall height.

In some embodiments, the framing assembly 300 comprises at least one support headers 304. In particular, a support header 304 is structured to be removably disposed on an exposed end of each of the supports 302 that have been previously anchored in the underlying surface (e.g., ground). In some embodiments, each of the support headers 304 includes a mounting hub that removably engages (e.g., a tubular opening that receives) the exposed end of the supports 302, such that after construction of a wall section and/or the entire structure, the support header 304 can be removed from its engaged relation with the supports 302 and reused at a subsequent location. In some embodiments, support headers 304 are structured to receive and removably engage and retain a span 306. In some embodiments, a plurality of spans 306 are provided, each span structured to extend between adjacent supports 302 and their corresponding support headers 304. Additional elements are contemplated for achieving effective and appropriate aligned positioning of the spans 306 between the adjacent supports 302, but also allowing for appropriate removability of the support headers 304 and spans 306 for subsequent reuse.

In some embodiments, the framing assembly 300 comprises at least one vertical braces 308. In such embodiments, the braces 308a can be included on the interior side of the to-be-constructed wall and the braces 308b can be included on the exterior side of the to-be-constructed wall. The vertical braces 308a, 308b can be any suitable material, including, for example, wood (e.g., 2′×4′) (height×width). In some embodiments, the upper end of a plurality of vertical braces 308 is removably coupled to the span 306. For example, in some embodiments, an upper portion of the vertical braces 308 are coupled to the span 306 using a horizontal strap 312 projecting out from the span 306. In some embodiments, the span 306 comprises at least one slots 313 configured to receive the strap 312. In some embodiments, the span 306 comprises a slot 313a on the interior side of the span 306 and a slot 313b on the exterior side of the span. In such embodiments, the slots 313a, 313b are arranged on the opposing faces of the span 306 so the strap 312 can pass entirely through the span 306. In such embodiments, the straps 312 can be coupled to the interior vertical braces 308a and the exterior vertical braces 308b. In some embodiments, a plurality of interior vertical braces 308a are arranged at a lower end on the slab C1. In some embodiments, a plurality of exterior braces 308b are arranged at a lower end on the ground.

In some embodiments, the framing assembly 300 comprises at least one horizontal braces 310. In such embodiments, the braces 310a can be included on the interior side of the to-be-constructed wall and/or the braces 310b can be included on the exterior side of the to-be-constructed wall. The horizontal braces 310a, 310b can be any suitable material, including, for example, wood (e.g., 2′×4′) (height×width), dowl, steel rod, plastic rod, etc. In some embodiments, a plurality of interior horizontal braces 310a are removably coupled to at least one components of the wall assembly 102. For example, in FIG. 1, the braces 310a are coupled to the interior expanded metal mesh sheets 104a. Other configurations are contemplated (e.g., the braces 310a can be coupled to the vertical braces 308a). In some embodiments, a plurality of exterior horizontal braces 310b are removably coupled to the exterior vertical braces 308b. Other configurations are contemplated (e.g., the braces 310b can be coupled to the exterior expanded metal mesh sheet 104b).

In some embodiments, the arrangement and connectivity of the vertical braces 308 and the horizontal braces 310 is configured to maintain the integrity of the desired shape and thickness of the to-be-constructed wall, as dictated in some embodiments by the spacing between the interior expanded metal mesh sheets 104a and the exterior expanded metal mesh sheets 104b (the spaced distance including the welded wire mesh sheet 106 therebetween).

In various embodiments, a method for constructing a building structure, including a plurality of sidewalls, is provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises installing the form boards 202 about ¾″ (0.75″) outside of the desired dimensions (e.g., perimeter) of the to-be-constructed walls. Next, a keyboard 204 sized about 2.75″×1.5″ (width×height in inches) is attached on the interior side of the form boards 202. In such embodiments, the form board 202 is lying vertical on its side and the keyboard 204 is laid flat so its top surface is flush with the top of the form board 202. The keyboard 204 is sized and shaped to form a keyway in the concrete slab when removed. In some embodiments, the keyboards 204 are attached from the outside surface of the form board 202 with a fastener (e.g., screw, nail) that can be removed later. In some embodiments, the top surface of the form board 202 and the top surface of the keyboard 204 are marked to indicate where the vertical support 302 will be positioned. A notch 205 in the keyboard is then cut out in an appropriate size and shape for accepting the vertical support 302. In some embodiments, supports 302 are installed in all corners and/or locations where a support is needed for the support headers 304. The supports 302 are anchored below the desired footer, and the top of the support 302 is about 2″ above the desired wall height. In some embodiments, when installed, the bottom surface of the spans 306 will be about 3″ higher than the wall after construction. In some embodiments, the about 3″ gap between the bottom surface of the span 306 and the top of the wall above will provide a sufficient gap for pouring in wall material (e.g., pumping concrete in).

In some embodiments, once the vertical supports 302 are stable, the slab steel is placed with the slab mesh extending up the wall approximately 18″ to form a starter steel for the wall. In some embodiments, the starter steel is beneficial, but in some instances is optional. In such embodiments, the vertical supports 302, the support headers 304, and spans 306 would be installed before the slab C1 is formed.

Once the supports 302, support headers 304, and spans 306 are installed, the vertical straps 110 are installed with the j-hook facing the interior side of the to-be-constructed wall. Next, the welded wire mesh 106 is suspended from vertical straps 110. In some embodiments, the bottom of the welded wire mesh 106 extends into the footer and supports the footer support bars, and then slab steel is installed. In some embodiments, horizontal braces 108 are installed one in the vertical straps 110. In some embodiments, the slab C1 is then formed, and the keyboards 204 are removed.

In some embodiments, with the keyboards 204 removed, the exterior expanded metal mesh sheets 104a, 104b is inserted in the keyway 114, and optionally coupled to the form board 202, which is still in place. The top surface of the expanded metal mesh sheets 104b should be about 3″ below the spans 306 designating the height of the finished wall. In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the interior expanded metal mesh sheets 104a rest on the slab C1 and braced by a removable wood board (e.g., 2″×4″) attached to the slab C1. The top portion of the interior expanded metal mesh sheets 104a is supported by an arrangement of at least one vertical braces 308 and at least one horizontal braces 310. In such embodiments, the at least one vertical braces 308 are coupled to the span 306 using horizontal straps 312.

In some embodiments, cut outs in the structure of the system 100 are made for windows. In some embodiments, the wall material (e.g., concrete) is then pumped in between the spaced distance between the internal expanded metal mesh sheets 104a and the external expanded metal mesh sheets 104b to obtain the desired wall (e.g., C2 and C3 combined). Once the wall is formed, with the top of the wall meeting the top of the expanded metal mesh sheets 104, the spans 306, support headers 304, supports 302, and form boards 204 can be removed, and the walls are ready to receive roofing trusses, which will be attached to the vertical straps 110.
