Abstract
There is provided a structure that is a prefabricated (or systems-built) building space including a floor assembly, modular wall assemblies, and a roof assembly. The structure may at any time be connected to one or more other structures or prefabricated room extensions to form integrated building spaces. The structure is attached in a semi-permanent connection to a helical pier foundation assembly. The structure can include a locking mechanism adapted to be removably fastened to the floor assembly and the foundation assembly.

A modular construction system, comprising:
- a modular structure having:
- a floor assembly configured to be removably fastened to a helical pier foundation assembly by at least one of a plurality of fasteners, the helical pier foundation assembly comprising helical pier caps;
- a locking mechanism configured to be removably fastened to the floor assembly and the foundation assembly such that the locking assembly inhibits access to the at least one of the plurality of fasteners;
- a roof assembly comprising at least four purlins;
- and
- at least four modular wall assemblies removably fastened to the floor assembly, the modular wall assemblies comprising:
- a plurality of wall framing panels comprising wall battens;
- and
- a plurality of siding panels comprising siding battens configured to engage with the wall battens on the plurality of wall framing panels such that the siding panels are removably fastened to the wall framing panels;
- wherein the at least four modular wall assemblies support the roof assembly.
