Abstract
A pre-fabricated module for multi-dwelling housing units decreases the building time to of the multi-dwelling housing units such as apartment, hotels, and condominiums. The pre-fabricated module is an amenities module which is inserted into a housing unit within the multi-dwelling housing units. Through a plurality of quick-connect couplings and a quick-connect electrical coupling the amenities module accesses a water source, a sewage outlet, and an electrical source from the housing unit in order to provide functional amenities to a tenant. The amenities module includes a kitchen and a bathroom mounted within an enclosure allowing the tenant to cook and maintain hygiene.
