Abstract

A modular building system in which individual cuboid modules are assembled at a manufacturing facility, optimized for transportation, and transported to a building site by conventional delivery systems. On site, the modules may be modularly assembled into multi-modular buildings. Buildings may be assembled by attaching together a plurality of the structurally self-supporting modules. The modules may be attached horizontally adjacent or vertically adjacent one another using a variety of specialized, interchangeable adaptors. The modules may also be offset horizontally, vertically or perpendicularly to one another.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to buildings. In particular, the invention relates to a modular building system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] In order to optimize building design flexibility, cost, and adaptability, modular building systems have been developed for residential, commercial and industrial application. However, existing prior art modular building systems have several drawbacks, which the present invention seeks to overcome.

[0003] Current prior art construction methods generally require the majority of construction work to be performed at the building site. There exist some prefabrication methods that seek to reduce the amount of on-site work, thereby realizing some cost savings. Significantly increasing the ratio of factory-based assembly to on-site work further reduces construction costs and improves the quality of construction. This efficiency is achieved by delivering to a building site finished modules which may be very quickly ...
