Complete prefabricated mechanical & utility system

Abstract

A complete prefabricated mechanical and utility unit for residential or commercial use that includes all utilities and mechanics for servicing the adjacent uses. Once attached to utility supply lines the invention does not require work from skilled labor to operate. The unit has the ability to support satellite services as required.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a prefabricated system incorporating a complete mechanical and utility unit that can operate as a stand alone “closed system” with the possibility of elements being added on at the time of construction or at a later date.BACKGROUND[0002]Traditional construction practices for constructing a building are not efficient and wasteful of time of skilled labor, materials and future resources to operate. One of the major expenditures of the overall cost of any project is skilled labor (e.g. Electricians, Plumbers, etc.). The skilled labor is also required to work at the job site which is not efficient in many ways. Two examples of this are: the skilled labor is required to travel to and from the site and the skilled labor must relocate all of their equipment throughout the project as the work is completed.[0003]The common solution to this problem has been to prefabricate Modular buildings in part or whole.

Problems solved by technology

Traditional construction practices for constructing a building are not efficient and wasteful of time of skilled labor, materials and future resources to operate.

One of the major expenditures of the overall cost of any project is skilled labor (e.g. Electricians, Plumbers, etc.).

The skilled labor is also required to work at the job site which is not efficient in many ways.

Whole fabricated buildings are difficult to transport to the site and erect.

Partially fabricated units are not complete and must be assembled often resulting in double the amount of structure (walls, slabs, etc.).

Attaching said units also require a great amount of on site skilled labor to assemble the mechanical systems.

The resultant joints between the units leave a potential for failure.

These prefabricated buildings or modules provide limited design flexibility, allowing few configurations and not recognizing specific site or design conditions.

Often storage space is limited and difficult to secure on a construction site.

One solution proposed by past inventions have created prefabricated systems that can be stacked or assembled to create this service core, but the connections and structural intersections make these systems difficult to use in the field requiring special knowledge for installation and construction.

These connections are also a possible point of failure in the systems.
