System for production of standard size dwellings using a satellite manufacturing facility

Abstract

The system for manufacturing standard size dwellings comprises a network of facilities, sited to maximize the efficiency of the product and materials flows. In particular, one or more manufacturing facilities are used to manufacture subassemblies and supply materials for use in assembling a standard size dwelling in a factory environment. These manufactured subassemblies and materials are transported to one or more satellite manufacturing facilities, each of which are located proximate to a location where a large number of dwellings are to be built. The satellite manufacturing facilities function to integrate the received subassemblies and materials together to create a standard size dwelling, which is then transported to the foundation where the dwelling is to be sited. The satellite manufacturing facilities can optionally manufacture subassemblies, such as a roof subassembly, where appropriate as part of the dwelling assembly process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for manufacturing standard-sized dwellings using satellite manufacturing facilities that may be established on or near large housing developments to take advantage of secondary manufacturing at one or more other facilities. components and / or materials supplied from one or more other sources to efficiently manufacture standard size dwellings approximately in their entirety in a factory setting after transporting and placing these completed dwellings on a prefabricated permanent foundation completed before. Background technique [0002] Current state of the housing industry [0003] Based on the three basic methods used to produce dwellings, the current housing construction industry can be divided into the following types: factory-fabricated or modular (factory-fabricated); On-site assembly of components; and separate construction (spliced ​​construction)-constructing the house on-site at a specific constructi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Poor quality and also a significant amount of waste because the raw material has to be handled at least 2 to 3 times before being transported from the factory or workshop where it is to be shipped to the individual workplace

As a result of this repetitive handling of the raw material, there was excessive labor and significant breakage

Additionally, there will not be someone at the individual job site receiving the ingredients 24 / 7, leaving the ingredients and supplies exposed to possible delivery damage, theft, and inclement weather

Excess material is discarded if it is not in significantly greater quantities because the value of the salvaged material does not cover the costs involved in salvaging the material

[0064] Although tile-built dwelling structures are the best housing for consumers due to structural flexibility, the cost benefits gained from factory-fabricated environments are not achievable for this type of construction method due to size, and are often more cost-effective than this The non-multistory nature of this structure is more
