Claim 1

A modular construction wall section for bearing upon and securement to a conventional sill, which sill includes: a pair of spaced apart side surfaces of predetermined height, and a top surface, and for forming a wall of a building, said wall section comprising: a. an upright main panel having, i. a pair of spaced apart vertical edges, ii. upper and lower lateral edges extending between said pair of vertical edges, and iii. inner and outer surfaces; b. a pair of side panels extending angularly from said main panel, each said side panel having i. a first vertical edge coincident with a respective vertical edge of said main panel, ii. a second vertical edge spaced from said first vertical edge a distance corresponding to the distance between the sides of said sill, and iii. an upper lateral edge, and iv. a lower lateral edge spaced above the lower lateral edge of said main panel a distance of the sides of said sill; c. a pair of inwardly directed flanges, one of said flanges extending along the second vertical edge of each of said side panels; and d. further including a ledge for receiving thereon the lower edge of a beam having spaced apart upper and lower edges and spaced apart vertical edges, said ledge being defined by the upper lateral edge of a said side panel and the respective said flange being spaced below the upper lateral edge of said main panel a distance corresponding to the distance between the upper and lower edges of said beam.
