Abstract
Disclosed is a modular building system including, in some embodiments, one or more wall panels, one or more floor panels, and one or more roof panels. The modular building components of the modular building system including the one or more wall panels, the one or more floor panels, and the one or more roof panels can form housing or storage structures with electrical wiring, plumbing, or both wiring and plumbing. The housing or storage structures can be erected by one or more persons without a need for a plumber, an electrician, or power tools. Also disclosed is a method for erecting one or more housing or storage structure in accordance with the modular building system.
Claims20
A modular building system, comprising:
- one or more wall panels;
- one or more floor panels;
- and
- one or more roof panels,
- wherein modular building components of the modular building system including the one or more wall panels, the one or more floor panels, and the one or more roof panels form housing or storage structures with electrical wiring, plumbing, or both wiring and plumbing erectable by one or more persons without a need for a plumber, an electrician, or power tools.
A modular building system, comprising:
- one or more wall panels including pre-wired wall panels, pre-plumbed wall panels, or pre-wired and pre-plumbed wall panels,
- wherein each pre-wired wall panel includes electrical wiring running through the wall panel from a top, side, or bottom of the wall panel,
- wherein each pre-plumbed wall panel includes tubing running through the wall panel from a top, side, or bottom of the wall panel, and
- wherein at least two of the wall panels fit together enabling at least one electrical connection of the wiring or plumbing connection of the tubing between the at least two wall panels;
- one or more floor panels including pre-wired floor panels,
- wherein each pre-wired floor panel includes electrical wiring running through the floor panel from a side of the floor panel, and
- wherein at least two of the floor panels fit together enabling at least one electrical connection of the wiring between the at least two floor panels;
- and
- one or more roof panels including pre-wired roof panels,
- wherein each pre-wired roof panel includes electrical wiring running through the roof panel from a side of the roof panel, and
- wherein at least two of the roof panels fit together enabling at least one electrical connection of the wiring between the at least two roof panels, and
- wherein modular building components of the modular building system including the one or more wall panels, the one or more floor panels, and the one or more roof panels form housing or storage structures with electrical wiring, plumbing, or both wiring and plumbing erectable by one or more persons without a need for a plumber, an electrician, or power tools.
A method for erecting a housing or storage structure with a modular building system, comprising:
- unpacking a kit including wall panels, floor panels, and roof panels for the housing or storage structure;
- spreading out a footprint guide of the housing or storage structure;
- inserting pipes a certain depth into the ground such that the pipes are about perpendicular with the ground around the footprint guide;
- and
- connecting the panels to each other and the pipes to form the housing or storage structure,
- wherein modular building components of the modular building system including the wall panels, the floor panels, and the roof panels connect to each other and the pipes to form the housing or storage structure without a need for power tools.
