Manufacturing facility for production of standard size dwellings

A manufacturing facility for constructing standard size, non-roadable dwellings, having length and width dimensions, substantially in their entirety in said manufacturing facility, said manufacturing facility being located proximate a location at which standard size dwellings produced in said manufacturing facility are to be sited after exiting said manufacturing facility, and comprising:

• a plurality of subassembly production lines, at least two of said plurality of subassembly production lines providing means for constructing predetermined subassemblies of said standard size dwelling, each of said predetermined subassemblies comprising a structural section of said standard size dwelling, from the class of structural sections consisting of:
• walls, floors, roof trusses, roof, foundation base frame;
• a dwelling assembly alley located substantially proximate to said at least two subassembly production lines for providing a site for assembling a partially assembled standard size dwelling therein;
• hoisting means operational in said at least two subassembly production lines for transporting said constructed predetermined subassemblies from said at least two subassembly production lines to said dwelling assembly alley to install said constructed predetermined subassemblies into a partially assembled standard size dwelling located therein, which partially assembled standard size dwelling is non-roadable by having at least one of the dimensional characteristics:
• the smaller of said length and width dimensions being greater than 16 feet and being greater than one story in height;
• and
• wherein said dwelling assembly alley provides a transport element for transporting said partially assembled standard size dwelling while said standard size dwelling is assembled from said predetermined subassemblies by respectively incorporating said predetermined subassemblies into said partially assembled standard size dwelling using said hoisting means when said partially assembled standard size dwelling is positioned in said assembly alley opposite a corresponding one of said plurality of subassembly production lines until said partially assembled standard size dwelling is assembled substantially in its entirety.

A manufacturing facility for constructing standard size dwellings substantially in their entirety, said manufacturing facility being located proximate a location at which standard size dwellings are to be sited, comprising:

• a foundation assembly production line for constructing an integral foundation base frame that supports load bearing walls of said standard size dwelling;
• at least two subassembly production lines for constructing predetermined subassemblies for said standard size dwelling, each of said predetermined subassemblies comprising a structural section of said standard size dwelling, from the class of structural sections consisting of:
• walls, floors, roof;
• a dwelling assembly alley located substantially proximate to said at least two subassembly production lines for assembling a partially assembled standard size dwelling therein using said predetermined subassemblies, which are incorporated into said partially assembled standard size dwelling until said partially assembled standard size dwelling is assembled substantially in its entirety;
• and
• hoisting means operational in each of said at least two subassembly production lines for transporting said constructed predetermined subassemblies to said dwelling assembly alley for incorporation into a partially assembled standard size dwelling being assembled therein, with said hoisting means transporting at least a subset of load bearing ones of said predetermined subassemblies for direct connection to said integral foundation base frame.
