Just-in-time factory methods, system and network for prefabricating class-A fire-protected wood-framed buildings and components used to construct the same

A method of producing a pre-fabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building in a factory environment supporting one or more production lines for producing prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building components designed for construction of a pre-fabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building on a building construction site, said method comprising the steps of:

• (a) receiving an order for a prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building characterized by a set of design specifications;
• (b) analyzing the set of design specifications for said pre-fabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building, into a set of design specifications for prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building components to be fabricated in said factory environment in accordance with a prefabricated wood-framed building project;
• (c) determining the type and quantity of wood and/or engineered wood products (EWPs) required to fabricate each said prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building component specified by said pre-fabricated wood-framed building project;
• (d) determining a supply of clean fire inhibiting chemical (CFIC) liquid required to treat pieces of wood and/or engineered wood products (EWPs) to be used to fabricate each Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building component required by said prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building;
• (e) coating the pieces of wood and/or the EWPs along a production line in said factory environment, using said supply of CFIC liquid so as to produce pieces of Class-A fire-protected wood and/or Class-A fire-protected EWPs required to fabricate the prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building components for said prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building;
• (f) as each treated piece of wood and/or EWP is coated with said CFIC liquid in said factory environment to produce pieces of Class-A fire-protected wood and/or Class-A fire-protected EWPs, certifying and marking each said treated piece of wood and/or EWP as being coated with said CFIC liquid for inspection and documentation purposes;
• (g) fabricating each prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building component in said factory environment, using one or more of said pieces of Class-A fire-protected wood and/or Class-A fire-protected EWPs;
• (h) during fabrication of each pre-fabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building component in said factory environment, applying an identifying tag to each produced Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building component being produced for the ordered prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building in accordance with the pre-fabricated wood-framed building project;
• (i) during fabrication of each said prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building component in said factory environment, capturing and collecting digital photographs and/or videos visually showing an indication of Class-A fire-protection stamped or posted on each said pre-fabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building component;
• (j) uploading said digital photographs and/or videos including wood-treatment and fire-protection information with time/date and location stamping, to an information server maintained on a computer network;
• and
• (k) during construction of said prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building on a building construction site, remotely located from said factory environment, accessing said digital photographs and/or videos, including wood-treatment and fire-protection status information with time/date and location stamping, from said information server maintained on said computer network, so as to provide visual evidence to one or more entities involved with said prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building, indicating that each said prefabricated Class-A fire-protected wood-framed building component has been coated with said CFIC liquid and provided with Class-A fire-protection while being fabricated in said factory environment.
