Abstract:
1. A method of producing prefabricated frames for a building, including the steps of: inputting data relating to a design of the building into a computer program; automatically translating the data into designs of a plurality of separate frames, the plurality of separate frames comprising a plurality of structural elements and having a size and shape to be assembled together to complete the building; automatically producing operational instructions for roll-forming machinery and cutting machinery to fabricate the plurality of structural elements; roll-forming a strip with the roll-forming machinery; cutting the strip with the cutting machinery into the plurality of structural elements; wherein the steps of roll-forming and cutting the strip are accomplished in accordance with said operational instructions; assembling the plurality of separate frames from the plurality of structural elements; injecting the plurality of separate frames with a high density insulating foam which bonds to the plurality of separate frames as the foam hardens, to a depth greater than the plurality of structural elements on at least one side of each of the plurality of separate frames to thereby form a metal-free foam façade; and applying a weatherproof coating to said foam façade.
