Abstract

Disclosed is a modular building system for configuring a building structure. The modular building system includes a foundation member, a plurality of wall members, a plurality of wall-retaining members and a roofing member. The foundation member has a plurality of engaging members that engages with a plurality of complementary engaging members of wall members. The foundation member and the wall members are detachably attached as the engaging members and the complementary engaging members engage to each other and create a space with a top opening. The adjacent wall members are attached by a plurality of the wall-retaining members. Further, the wall member includes a plurality of engagement members that engages with a plurality of complementary engagement members provided on the roofing member to detachably attach the plurality of engagement members on top portion of the plurality of wall members for covering the top opening, thereby configuring the building structure.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] The present invention claims priority under 35 United States Code, Section 119 on the U.S. Provisional Patent Application numbered 60 / 933,411 filed on Jun. 5, 2007, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to modular buildings, and more particularly, to structural elements for use in construction of the modular buildings.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] In present scenarios, the building construction field is generally labor and cost intensive. Construction of a building further requires involvement of a considerable amount of time. To reduce the factors such as labor, cost and time involvement in the construction of the building, prefabrication systems have been proven as one of the potential solutions. A typical prefabrication system involves prefabricated structures that are erected together to form a building structure.

[0004] Existing prefabrication systems fall into...
