Glossary

[0076] The terms used in this description are defined below to ensure that the proper import is ascribed to these terms and the usage of these terms is therefore unambiguous. [0077] Master Production Facility—the facility that builds subassemblies and / or receives materials for processing and / or distribution to Satellite Manufacturing Facilities. The master production facility may or may not be located proximate to a community where the dwellings produced are to be located.

[0078] Satellite Manufacturing Facility—the facility described herein which is used to produce standard size dwellings in a hoisting supported production environment, which can comprise one or more enclosed structures or other work areas.

[0079] Dwelling—a structure(s), typically comprising either a single family or multi-family home, which is used to house individuals.

[0080] Standard size dwelling—a dwelling which constitutes a “normal” or full size dwelling, presently produced on-site by means of stick...

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

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to a system for manufacturing standard size dwellings using a satellite manufacturing facility that can be erected on or near a large housing development to efficiently manufacture standard size dwellings, substantially in their entirety, in a factory environment using subassemblies manufactured at one or more other facilities and / or materials supplied from one or more other sources, prior to transporting and placing these completed dwellings on pre-constructed permanent foundations. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION—THE HOUSING INDUSTRY TODAY [0002] The present residential construction industry can be divided into segments based on the three basic methods which are utilized to produce dwellings: manufactured or modular (manufactured), panelized or component (panelized)—with elements fabricated both on and off site, and individually built (stick-built)—with dwelling construction in-place at a specific building site. Each of these three ...
