Benefits of technology

[0006] There is considerable cost advantage obtained by the invention, by prefabricating the building frame initially as one or more assemblages in a geographical location where material and labor costs are low, and shipping corresponding building frame assemblages by sea container to a region of the world where buildings and their construction costs are expensive.

Problems solved by technology

However, the trusses are individual pieces that lack assemblage with framing members for walls and floors.
Thus, the roof trusses need to be constructed onto load bearing walls, which consumes time and labor costs in significantly large amounts.

Embodiment Construction

[0031] This description of the exemplary embodiments is intended to be read in connection with the accompanying drawings, which are to be considered part of the entire written description. In the description, relative terms such as “lower,”“upper,”“horizontal,”“vertical,”, “above,”“below,”“up,”“down,”“top” and “bottom” as well as derivative thereof (e.g., “horizontally,”“downwardly,”“upwardly,” etc.) should be construed to refer to the orientation as then described or as shown in the drawing under discussion. These relative terms are for convenience of description and do not require that the apparatus be constructed or operated in a particular orientation. Terms concerning attachments, coupling and the like, such as “connected” and “interconnected,” refer to a relationship wherein structures are secured or attached to one another either directly or indirectly through intervening structures, as well as both movable or rigid attachments or relationships, unless expressly described oth...

Abstract

A building frame (100) is designed as multiple assemblages (104), (200) and (300), which are built and then collapsed for shipment in one or more shipping containers (400), transported to a building site, and removed from the corresponding shipping containers (400). the assemblages (104), (200) and (300) are constructed as a building frame (100) at the permanent building site, or, alternatively, are assembled into subassemblies at a temporary building site, and are transferred to the permanent building site.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to assemblage construction, shipment and building construction, and, more particularly, to a method and system for design, prefabrication, shipping and construction of a building. BACKGROUND [0002] Prior to the invention, factory precut buildings have been shipped in kit form with loose pieces, lumber precuts and precut panels of sheathing and flooring. The loose and precut pieces arrive at a building site ready for assembly, without requiring measuring and cutting. However, the loose pieces must be unpacked and sorted. Then the loose pieces are assembled and constructed in a standard manner pertaining to on-site building construction. Prior to the invention, factory assembled roof trusses were available for shipment. However, the trusses are individual pieces that lack assemblage with framing members for walls and floors. Thus, the roof trusses need to be constructed onto load bearing walls, which consumes time and labor c...
