Innovation in modular structures

A method of modular construction, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) establishing a rectangular point grid, the rectangular point grid having a plurality of grid points connected by a plurality of grid lines;
• (b) designing a floor Plan for a structure based on the rectangular point grid, wherein the designing step further comprises:
• (b1) laying out cat least one interior wall between a first grid point and a second grid point along a grid line between the first grid point and the second grid point of the rectangular point grid;
• (b2) laving out a first wall panel column coincident with the first grid point;
• (b3) laying out a second wall panel column coincident with the second rid point, wherein the at least one interior wall abuts against the first wall column and abut against the second wall column;
• (b4) laying out at least one exterior wall between a third grid point and a fourth grid point along a grid line between the third grid point and the fourth grid point t) the rectangular point grid;
• (b5) laying out a third wall panel column coincident with the third grid point;
• (b6) laying out a fourth wall panel column coincident with the fourth grid point, wherein the at least one exterior wall abuts against the third wall column and abuts against the fourth wall column;
• (b7) designing a plurality of components with which to construct the structure that conforms to the rectangular point grid, wherein the plurality of components have dimensions that an integer multiples of a length of a one of the plurality of rid lines;
• and
• (b8) designing a plurality of ceiling panel borders having a thickness equal to a ceiling panel thickness and a width equal to one half of a wall panel thickness, wherein each of the plurality of ceiling panel borders have a different length such that an end of each of the plurality of ceiling panel borders when installed are coincident with a grid point or a midpoint of a grid line.
