Problems solved by technology

These early housing modules failed when competing with site built homes due to the resultant high costs and/or extreme designs.
These high costs and cumbersome transportation methods prevented such prefabricated housing from reaching other markets, making availability within reach of only a limited regional market.
These designs suffered from drawbacks such as the shipping of empty space and the performance of extensive redundant site work to reconnect the modules and their associated components.
These attempts also disadvantageously failed to address the issues of very low cost, sustainability and worldwide distribution of housing units for dwelling.
These attempts also do not provide a solution to the worldwide challenges of providing a domicile of shelter and safety for those in need

Abstract

A single, self-contained housing core configured for containerization is provided. The housing core includes a first section having a floor and a first portion of walls. A second section is connected with the first section to define at least one cavity. The second section includes a ceiling and a second portion of the walls. The second section also includes a reservoir. Deployment items are disposed with the first and second sections. Implants are disposed within the first and second sections. Loose items are disposed with the first and second sections. Methods and systems of constructing a dwelling unit including the housing core and transporting the housing core via intermodal transport are also disclosed.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure is directed to prefabricated housing and, more particularly, to a single, self-contained sustainable housing core configured for intermodal containerization and transport with related methods for construction of a complete dwelling and systems, which may utilize unskilled labor to assemble on site.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Prefabricated housing for dwelling is well known. Some prefabricated housing modules were factory built and transported to a local building site via truck trailer. These early housing modules failed when competing with site built homes due to the resultant high costs and / or extreme designs. These high costs and cumbersome transportation methods prevented such prefabricated housing from reaching other markets, making availability within reach of only a limited regional market.[0003]More recent attempts have been made to overcome the associated high costs with early prefabrication housing in an effort to compete wit...
