Claims: What is claimed is:

1. A method of building a structure which comprises:

drawing a plan view of the structure,

having pairs of spaced apart parallel lines which indicate pairs of spaced apart parallel vertical surfaces of said structure, the areas between said pairs of lines indicating volumes between said pairs of surfaces which correspond with walls of said structure,

projecting said spaced apart parallel lines at those localities where said projections intersect with other spaced apart parallel lines and with other projections of other spaced apart parallel lines,

said projections of pairs of spaced apart parallel lines defining projections of said pairs of spaced apart parallel vertical surfaces of said structure,

each of said intersections of spaced apart parallel lines defining an area which is common to the areas between the intersecting pairs of lines,

each said common area defining a volume which is common to the volumes between the intersecting pairs of surfaces,

fabricating structural profiles in shapes corresponding to the said common volumes between the pairs of surfaces of said structure and including bonding elements projecting from said profiles,

determining from plan view the locations on the structure site for the respective prefabricated structural profiles and locating said profiles in their respective locations which correspond to the common volumes between the surface projections of said structure,

erecting said located profiles in their respective localities on site so that each structural profile will constitute a composite portion of the structure in place of and in substitution for a plurality of bricks and mortar at the localities of said common volumes,

at least a pair of said profiles having surface portions which define a common surface of said structure and aligning said profile surface portions,

providing a footing which is level and true, between said pair of profiles,

filling at least a space between the pair of profiles with building elements including bricks and mortar by building the bricks up course by course on the footing to form wall sections,

bonding the building elements to the bonding elements by cementing,

aligning the bricks with the surface portions of said profiles which define a common surface of said structure to provide a straight and true wall of said surface,

and leaving the structural profiles built into the erected structure as permanent components thereof,

said pairs of parallel spaced apart lines correspond with primary structures of said walls including bricks, and providing additional pairs of spaced apart parallel lines of said plan view, which additional lines correspond with secondary structure of said walls including plaster, wherein, additionally to said projections of said pairs of lines, hypothetical lines are provided on said plan view, said hypothetical lines intersecting with said projections of said other pairs of hypothetical lines, defining additional volumes,

fabricating structural profiles of plaster in shapes corresponding to the said additional volumes,

locating and erecting said plaster profiles in localities of said structure indicated by the plan and adjacent said wall sections, applying wet plaster to the building elements and smoothing the plaster surface and aligning the same with said plaster profiles by employing said plaster profiles as guides.

2. A method of building a structure as claimed in claim 1,

in which the erecting of said selected structural profiles in their respective localities on site includes securing said profiles in their true and accurate localities, and in true vertical alignment,

thereafter excavating trenches for foundations including for said profiles and then casting concrete foundations in said trenches including casting said profiles into said foundations so that profiles constitute an integral part of said foundations.
