Abstract

The system for manufacturing standard size dwellings comprises a network of facilities, sited to maximize the efficiency of the product and materials flows. In particular, one or more manufacturing facilities are used to manufacture subassemblies and supply materials for use in assembling a standard size dwelling in a factory environment. These manufactured subassemblies and materials are transported to one or more satellite manufacturing facilities, each of which are located proximate to a location where a large number of dwellings are to be built. The satellite manufacturing facilities function to integrate the received subassemblies and materials together to create a standard size dwelling, which is then transported to the foundation where the dwelling is to be sited. The satellite manufacturing facilities can optionally manufacture subassemblies, such as a roof subassembly, where appropriate as part of the dwelling assembly process.

Description

SYSTEM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BUILDINGS FOR STANDARD SIZE HOUSES USING A MANUFACTURING SERVICE BY SATELLITE FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a system for manufacturing buildings for standard-sized housing, using a satellite manufacturing service, which can be erected on or near a large housing development to efficiently manufacture buildings for standard-sized housing. , practically in its entirety, in an industrial environment using pre-assemblies manufactured in one or more other services and / or materials supplied from one or more other sources, before transporting and placing these complete housing buildings on permanent pre-built foundations.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION - THE HOUSING INDUSTRY TODAY The residential construction industry today can be divided into segments based on the three basic methods used to produce buildings for housing: manufactured or modular (manufactured) , divided by boards or components (with panels) - with elements manufactured both above and outside the site, and individually constructed (constructed with wood) - with the construction of the building for housing in place at a specific construction site. Each of these three methods has different advantages and disadvantages. In addition, each method is suitable to produce a particular type of housing building. A common goal of the residential construction industry is to produce high-quality residential buildings that have broad market appeal in a cost-effective manner. The fabricated house is constructed in a factory that is geographically distant from a housing development or a particular building site. Manufactured manufactured modules must be transported through public roads and avenues to a distributor or pre-determined construction site. The oldest of this class of houses were called mobile homes. They were equipped, and currently still is, with axes connected to a landing gear frame. Typical manufactured housing is built in a factory that serves a broad geographic region, varying in size from tens to hundreds of radio miles in several states. Due to the cost efficiencies inherent in industrial production, the manufacturing method (and some divided by boards) succeeds in producing new, lower-cost housing typically for small-sized houses that are often in a rural environment. A fabricated house is produced for direct sale to a customer and installed on a particular construction site or can be sold to a distributor and kept in inventory for sale and subsequent installation. The manufactured housing of today offers significant improvements with respect to the previous mobile home. The finished housing can comprise a plurality of manufactured modular segments and the modules are transported from a remote factory to a dedicated distributor or construction site. Once delivered to the final construction location, the modules are joined together to form a resulting residential building that is significantly larger than a typical single-module 12 'x 70' house. The main advantage of manufactured homes is the use of an industrial environment. Within an industrial environment, there is a controlled environment where the buildings for complete housing are built, which roll well by road. Factories represent a significant advantage in efficiency for mass production. The advantages of an industrial environment are: You can produce buildings for housing very quickly from the order for a finished product. Time saving is a market advantage and a source of cost savings in terms of financing costs associated with the resources linked to the housing building. Bad weather had a negligible impact on production. Construction tolerances are more precise and more controllable, while resulting in a better overall product quality. Increased production through multiple changes is easily achieved due to the decisive conditions of lighting, ventilation, and air temperature controlled 24 hours a day. Non-sequential construction techniques are possible.
A Federal Building Code (HUD) that offers an aerodynamic regulatory environment can be used because it focuses on performance standards rather than implementation standards. In addition, housing construction in accordance with the HUD Construction Code is less expensive to produce than wood-built homes that are constructed in accordance with the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or other building codes. local. The highest cost efficiencies are reported in both the amount and hours of work needed to build the houses, and the unit cost of labor due to the use of repetitive production tasks. The ability to buy and manipulate material volumes in a fixed manufacturing location also produces higher cost efficiencies. A method for the construction of a residential building that bears similarities to the technology of a manufactured housing building is the panel construction method. Panel construction consists of a system for prefabricated walls, floors, and roof components in units or sections. This method of construction is the most efficient where there is a repetition of panel types and dimensions. The panels are manufactured using a template, in which the frame members are placed and then interconnected via nails, screws, or welds. The inner and / or outer lining, or even the entire interior or exterior finish, can be applied to the wall panel before the finished panel is raised over the structure. The panelization in the workshop offers many advantages. The panel workshop provides a controlled environment where work continues regardless of weather conditions. The application of covers and finishing work are easier and faster with the panels placed in a horizontal position instead of a vertical position. In the construction with panels, the main components of the houses are either prefabricated in a distant industrial environment or in the place where, unfortunately, the installation of panels is exposed to local weather conditions. If the components or panels are built in a factory, they are transported later through public roads and avenues to the construction site where they are erected in the place and interconnected to form the basic structure of the housing building using the techniques of conventional construction. The panel construction technique requires the use of on-site construction equipment to handle the pre-assembled components and also requires significant amounts of finishing work to be done at the site to assemble the components and the assemblies of the final construction between the panels and then apply all the finishes that are not included in the panels or components. The main advantages of the construction with panels are the following: The cost and production efficiencies of the manufacture of panels in the off-site factory. Cost reductions can also be made from the mass production of panels at a project location. The assembly of panels or components is quite fast and accelerates the production program for the construction of houses. Pre-fabricated panels can be achieved for the production of homes in remote regions.
The remaining category of residential housing is the house built with wood which is either the usual construction according to one of the individual specifications of an owner, or as a dwelling with the specification of the builder, or built as one of a plurality of models pre-existing in a housing development. These housing buildings are constructed in the traditional way using frame members (typically dimensional wood) to fabricate the building for housing on a foundation at the construction site according to a set of architectural plans. The design of the house built with wood differs greatly from the design of the manufactured home. There are no architectural limitations, structural, or similar dimensions with the house built with wood, with those imposed on the design manufactured under road transport limitations. Transportation through public roads involves restrictions on height, width, length, and weight. In wood construction, height, width, depth, roof slope, roof protrusion, gable, skylight, etc., are all fully exposed to individual tastes limited only by the code restrictions that govern building construction. The ability to produce standard-sized homes with substantial design flexibility is the reason why most homes built today are homes built with wood. The wood construction requires a sequential construction format, where article A must be completed before article B can be started, and article B must then be completed before article C is started and so on successively. For example, the walls at ground level must be completed before the floor of the second level can be started, and the walls of the second level must be completed before the roofing of the second level can be started. The wood-based housing industry relies primarily on homebuilders that outsource work and packages of materials to a number of independent companies that supply and install their portion of the work. While this method of residential housing construction has worked for many years, there are inefficiencies inherent in this method that result in significant cost consequences for the home buyer. The buildings for housing built with wood can be built to any size or design desired within the limitations of the structural capabilities of the framework material.
Homes with multiple floors can be easily constructed with architectural features, room sizes, and design that are determined by the architect, home builder, and / or owner. There are no major restrictions imposed by a need to transport the structure through the existing public highway or avenues system. Other advantages of construction techniques with wood are: The ability to build a wide variety of buildings for standard size housing (including a single plant and multiple plants). Individual customization is easy. Well-known and widely accepted construction methods. There are generally experienced subcontractors available.
Sources of financing for debt and equity available for housing and projects. Thus, it is evident that each of the methods of construction of buildings for residential dwellings mentioned above has certain distinct advantages, these advantages are typically coupled intimately with the type of housing building produced by the selected construction method.
PROBLEM - METHODS OF INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION While manufactured homes, divided by panels and built with wood have many advantages in their respective market applications, each of them also has different disadvantages. These disadvantages are at the heart of the problem facing the housing industry today and, in particular, for the industrial method: dimensional and design restrictions have confined manufactured homes to a limited market segment. The industrial method can not be used to build standard-sized dwellings without the segmentation of the house into modules of relatively small dimensions that results in a design and compromises of floor plans. The manufactured modules must be transported a significant distance from the factory to the construction site, often via a distributor. The manufactured segments of the home undergo significant architectural and floor plan restrictions due to the need to transport the complete modules through public roads and avenues. There are significant size limitations in manufactured homes: typically one floor, 3.05-4.27 meters (10-14 feet) wide by 15.24-21.34 meters (50-70 feet long with box-like architecture.) The cost of shipping the modules from the factory to the destination, place the modules on the foundation, field to match the modules together on non-repetitive site conditions at sites of 80.47 kilometers (50 miles) each other, distributing the manufactured homes through marketing organizations with expensive distribution services, installing the final finishes in individual homes with 10% of the work that is applied in the distant site, and providing support service across a wide geographical area, all added to a significant cost component in these There is a possibility of damage to the manufactured modules of the house during prolonged transport through the system. ema of public roads. Manufactured housing industries are functionally constrained from serving the new internal market of new wood-built communities because these communities often require significant production speeds of 4 to 15 houses per month for 2 to 5 years, which could change the available production to the network of distributors that service the factory resulting in unacceptable interruptions of the distribution system.
PROBLEM - CONSTRUCTION METHODS WITH PANELS There are also problems with homes built with panels: Field work is required for the field assembly of the panels. There are fewer units of buildings for complete homes, because it is a method to produce only housing segments, which therefore limits the manufacturing efficiency only increasing to that small portion of the house that is actually built in the factory. With the method of construction with panels, it is not possible to build houses of standard size without the segmentation of the house into modules of relatively small dimensions, which results in many concessions. Finishing components and work in a home represent a component of work with much higher profit margins for construction subcontractors. Therefore, the work of finishing is still an activity of the subcontractor in the field of construction with panels, thus limiting the cost savings that can be made by the builder with the construction with panels and with respect to the comparable cost of a housing built with wood. The panels or components that are manufactured require more field assembly that consumes a significant amount of time and are therefore exposed to local weather conditions. Panels built in a remote plant have size limitations due to the need to transport these panels through public roads and avenues. The panel construction method only accelerates the frame construction segmentation, which represents only an ever-increasing time saving over what is currently a multi-week portion of a 3- to 8-month project. Panels must be assembled at the project site, and construction junctions between panels must be repaired and completed at the project site. There is a possibility of damage to the panels and components during prolonged transport and handling.
PROBLEM - METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION WITH WOOD There are also problems in the method of construction with wood for residential buildings: The construction with wood is inherently a process of construction of sequential housing - the floor is built before the walls, the walls before the roofs, and the roof after all the other frames are completed. This is a prolonged process and therefore results in a construction activity of long duration.
Much of the work done in the construction of wood in a residential building is at the mercy of local climate conditions that can slow down programs and cause damage to materials due to water, including damage to the molds. The supply and handling of bulk materials are not possible because the materials need to be segregated for each individual home. The materials and supplies are mainly transported manually, piece by piece, to the interior of the house during construction. It is common to have 3 to 8 month construction programs in the wood construction of a residential building, which results in an additional cost of capital and financing during this period of time. The homes must be in accordance with local building codes, such as, for example, the Uniform Building Code (UBC), without any construction capacity with the Federal Building Code (HUD). in English), which could be faster, less expensive, and provides a less rigorous regulatory environment. The cost of construction labor with wood is high to attract the necessary levels of experience to the widely distributed work sites. In addition, there is a hidden cost for workers who have to travel to diverse and changing work sites during short trips, with material handling representing another inefficiency and a source of additional defects, which must be corrected at an additional cost. The supervision and quality control in the construction with wood is not uniform. A significant disadvantage of the technique of construction of buildings for houses built with wood is that, without taking into account the size and / or complexity of the building for housing, these homes are built according to a process that is determined by both building codes and the need for efficiency of the various independent subcontractors who commit themselves to building the building for housing. In particular, each subcontractor wishes to minimize the times when they must visit the construction site and often prefers unobstructed access to the majority of the structure with interference or limited coordination with other subcontractors. This construction process, especially at the beginning, depends a lot on the weather conditions and can only occur during daylight hours. An interruption in the flow of construction caused by one of the subcontractors has an expansive effect since the other subcontractors must wait for the completion of a particular task before they can start their work. Therefore, while each task of the individual subcontractor does not necessarily take much time in the construction of a residential building constructed with wood, the time intervals between the arrival of the various subcontractors and the delays caused by climate and other work of the subcontractor significantly lengthens the amount of time required to complete each housing building. In addition, operation in a field environment is detrimental to maintaining the quality of construction because it is difficult to use portable hand tools to accurately cut and assemble the frame material in the walls and various finishing elements with precise tolerances . It is often difficult, in the construction of houses built with wood, find a sufficient number of experienced workers who can work a residential structure of high quality at very reasonable costs. The quality is affected and there is also a significant amount of loss, because the materials must be handled at least 2 to 3 times between the shipment from the factory or shred to be delivered to the individual work site. There is excessive work and significant interruption as a result of this repetitive handling of materials. In addition, typically there are no people at individual work sites all day to receive materials, so materials and supplies are exposed to the possibility of damage, theft, and bad weather. Excess materials, unless they represent a significant amount, are discarded because the value of the recovered materials does not compensate the cost involved to recover these materials. While the residential structure built with wood is the most convenient residence for consumers due to the design flexibility, the cost benefits obtained by the industrial environment of the factory are not available for this type of construction method due to the size and Most often to nature these structures are not multi-plant.
SOLUTION The problems described above are solved, and a technical breakthrough is achieved through the system for manufacturing buildings for standard-sized homes using a satellite manufacturing service that is capable of efficiently producing buildings for standard-sized housing in an industrial environment. . This manufacturing system uses a network of manufacturing services to respond to the fundamental desire to maximize the efficiency of construction of housing buildings by implementing both a factory and a method for the construction of buildings for standard-sized homes. The system for manufacturing buildings for standard-sized houses comprises a network of services, located to maximize product efficiency and material flows. In particular, one or more manufacturing services are used for preparing pre-assemblies and supplying materials to be used in the assembly of a building for standard-sized housing in an industrial environment. These pre-assemblies and manufactured materials are transported to one or more satellite manufacturing services, each of which is located close to a location where many residential buildings will be built. Satellite manufacturing services work to integrate the pre-assemblies and materials received together to create a building for standard-sized housing, which is then transported to the foundation where the building for housing will be located. The satellite manufacturing services can optionally manufacture pre-assemblies, such as, for example, a roof pre-assembly, when appropriate as part of the assembly process of the residential building. The satellite manufacturing service is therefore capable of producing buildings for standard-sized homes and supplying them to a new community at an efficient cost and efficient time in a manner distinct from any prior art construction method. The satellite manufacturing service not only overcomes the problems inherent in the construction methods of the prior art, but also combines the advantages of the three methods of building buildings for dwellings identified above. The buildings for housing produced within the satellite manufacturing service appear to be identical to the consumer for standard-sized housing buildings built with wood. These housing buildings have substantial design and architectural flexibility, large rooms, modern floor plans, and overall significant living space. The buildings for houses that can be produced using the satellite manufacturing service are different from any buildings for homes manufactured and produced today. These buildings for housing can include a wide variety of single-family buildings of a normal size and two floors or various forms of buildings for multi-family housing. A major attribute of the satellite manufacturing service is its ability to build a wide variety of products for residential buildings. All that is required is a community of sufficient size to amortize the cost of the satellite manufacturing service. This flexibility is essential for international applications because the design and requirements of the home are very different from one region to the next. A common ingredient is that more often in housing requirements by volume, high-quality, low-cost housing buildings that can be constructed in a timely manner are in demand. In addition, the use of a satellite service to carry out the process of integration of pre-assemblies eliminates the restrictions of a limited number of designs of buildings for houses from the assembly process, since the pre-assemblies of various master production services can feed the service satellite manufacturing, thus adding to the diversity of housing building choices available to the consumer. The satellite manufacturing service is a specialized manufacturing service erected immediately to a location where many residential buildings will be built. The satellite manufacturing service can be linked to this community via a controlled access road, where public access can be limited and where the impediments of width and height can be much less restrictive than public streets and where distances of satellite manufacturing services to the locations in which the assembled housing buildings will be located. As a direct result, the primary problem that implies the restrictions of the public road infrastructure that lies between the factory and the construction site for the shipment of manufactured products or with panels is overcome. The satellite manufacturing service brings the factory to the construction site. This opens the door to a whole new world of design and construction methodologies for factory-produced housing buildings. The overwhelming restrictions imposed on the design of the building for housing, size, transportation problems, etc., are eliminated due to the limitations of transport on public roads between a remote factory and the final housing building site. The housing buildings that will be produced using the satellite manufacturing service have special design features.
An example is an integral base frame comprising a structural base element located on the perimeter of each building for housing, and the load base that carries the interior walls, which strengthen and stabilize these buildings for standard housing for the manufacturing, transportation, or laying in foundations, and long-term durability. An important feature of the satellite manufacturing service is that the sequential construction process required with the prior art of construction methods with wood to produce standard-sized housing buildings is now obsolete. The pre-assembly lifting equipment, such as, for example, free-opening bridge cranes, is the key to handling and transporting materials in assembly areas in the satellite manufacturing service. Semi-trucks with loaded trailers can enter the main structure of the satellite manufacturing service to stimulate a very efficient unloading and the subsequent handling of materials directly from bulk truck shipments to assembly areas or storage areas via the pre-assembly lifting equipment. The lifting equipment can also place large rolls of carpets, appliances, cabinets and the like directly into the building for partially manufactured homes to eliminate excess labor. Large single or multi-storey wall panels, floor mounts, large ceiling mounts, etc., can be handled in a production environment. The finished components from the assembly areas can also be lifted and placed directly at each final destination of the component in the home partially completed with the lifting equipment. The satellite manufacturing service represents a radical new approach to building buildings for standard-sized housing on a large-scale basis. The satellite manufacturing service not only overcomes the problems inherent in the construction methods of the prior art, but also combines the advantages of the three methods for the construction of buildings for dwellings identified above. The result is that standard-sized residential buildings can be constructed virtually faster, with superior quality, less cost, and more efficiently than comparable on-site housing construction by using prior art construction methods.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE MANUFACTURING SERVICES NETWORK U.S. Patent No. 6,000,192 entitled "Method of Production of Standard Size Dwellings" and U.S. Patent No. 6,253,504 entitled "Manufacturing Facility for Production of Standard Size D ellings" both exhibit an integrated manufacturing service for the manufacture of standard-sized residential buildings in an industrial environment. The manufacturing services set out in these patents manufacture all of the buildings for standard-sized housing within the factory and supply the entire residential building to the construction site, which is located next to the manufacturing service. A problem with this integrated architecture is that the entire manufacturing process is implemented in a single site and the manufacturing service must be reproduced in its entirety in each community where the buildings for housing will be manufactured. The present system for manufacturing buildings for standard-sized houses comprises a network of services, as shown in Figure 3, located to maximize product efficiency and material flows. In particular, one or more master manufacturing services are used to manufacture pre-assemblies to be used in the assembly of a building for standard-sized housing in an industrial environment and / or material processing and distribution. These manufactured pre-assemblies and materials are transported to one or more satellite manufacturing services, each of which is located close to a location where many residential buildings will be built. The satellite manufacturing services work to integrate the pre-assemblies received and the materials together to create a building for standard-sized housing, which is then transported to the foundation where the building for housing will be located. The satellite manufacturing services can optionally manufacture pre-assemblies, such as, for example, a roof pre-assembly, when appropriate, as part of the assembly process of the residential building. In this way, a plurality of less expensive satellite manufacturing services can be used together with one or more master production services to maximize efficiency and savings in housing construction.
MANUFACTURING SERVICE OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BUILDINGS FOR STANDARD SIZE HOUSES Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of the prior art manufacturing service described in the patents mentioned above, which is situated in a residential housing development and Figure 2 illustrates a perspective view of the prior art manufacturing service of Figure 1 with the roof removed from it. The fabrication service 100 disclosed herein comprises a building of sufficient size to encompass the production operation of the residential building and of height to provide sufficient clarity for the constructed housing building, which is typically from 9.14 meters to 12.19 meters (30 feet at 40 feet) in height. The manufacturing service has two large doors at the end 101, 102, thereof with a first door 101 as shown in Figure 1 which will be on the side to the left of the construction and will be used to provide the transport element with the entry to the manufacturing service 100. A second large exterior door 102 is located on the opposite side of the extreme wall of the construction and is used to provide entry to the supply vehicles that are providing the raw materials to a delivery lane, located within the manufacturing service, for the assembly of residential structures that takes place within the manufacturing service 100. When collapsing the linear structure of the production of traditional residential housing in a process practically volumetric, and relocating the partially complete structure of a line for production of pre-assemblies from manufacturing service 100 to another, a significant amount of flexibility in work planning can be achieved by intermingling the work of completion, in black work, and characteristic in operations concurrently existing within the same structure. In Figure 1, one can see a full-sized residential building D separated from the manufacturing service 100 through an exit door 105 (Figure 2) located on the far side of the manufacturing service 100. The exit door 105 It is dimensioned to allow the movement of the building for houses of standard size D, mounted on the transport element to be moved from the manufacturing service. Figure 1 also illustrates a full-size standard D residential building that crosses a path through the community to a construction site B that has a foundation in place and on construction site B a crane C awaits the arrival of the building for standard-sized housing D. When the standard-sized residential building D reaches construction site B, crane C is used to lift the building for full-size standard housing D outside the transport element T and to place the structure D on the pre-existing foundation where it is secured in place.
Alternatively, the pre-existing foundation can be a three-sided structure and the transport element can enter the basement area of the foundation where the transport element can be removed from the lower part of the entire housing building as the building for housing is placed in the foundation. The transport elements T shown in Figure 1 typically comprise a "trailer" or "frame" which is provided with a rolling apparatus, such as, for example, with a sufficient number of axles and wheels to support the weight of the building for full-size housing D. The bed of the trailer T is large enough to support the building firmly for full-size houses D which is built in stages on the transport element T as the transport element T moves from the door of income 101 from manufacturing service 100 to the exit door. A towing vehicle, such as, for example, a tractor, is used to move the transport element T and the full-size residential building D from the exit door of the manufacturing service 100 to the construction site B and from there return the transport element T to a parking area adjacent to the manufacturing service 100 to be used in a subsequent assembly of residential structures. The community can be occupied in stages as buildings for standard-sized housing are manufactured and placed. The public access to the community is typically selected at a location distant from the manufacturing service 100, such that the housing buildings are located from this growing junction with the manufacturing service 100. The manufacturing service 100 takes advantage of the highways temporary R, which are closed to public use and are available to transport the buildings for full-size standard housing D from manufacturing service 100 to construction site B. As sections of R roads are filled with buildings For complete housing, these sections can be converted from construction use with restricted / controlled access to public use. The location of the manufacturing service 100 is such in the particular environment illustrated in Figure 1 that the full-sized residential buildings D span the R roads internal to the development and therefore do not compete with the existing public roads with their size limitations and weight, power lines, bridges, and existing traffic. It is also possible to erect the manufacturing service 100 in a site that requires the use of existing public roads, which are feasible provided the portions of the existing road that are used are free of obstructions and can be monopolized during the movement of the road. a building for homes of standard size D.
ARCHITECTURE OF THE MANUFACTURING SERVICE OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE The economic viability of the prior art manufacturing service 100 is a function of the efficiency with which residential structures can be produced, because the efficiency must offset the cost of erecting the service of 100 manufacturing in a particular site for housing development. It is obvious that the benefit provided by this manufacturing service 100 is a function of the number of sites for construction B, the increasing savings in costs associated with each unit manufactured, and the speed with which these sites can be populated with structures residential The manufacturing service 100 achieves its efficiency by combining the operation of commercializations of mutually exclusive, linear buildings of the prior art in an intensive volumetric approach in the process of assembling residential structures. This difference in assembly philosophy, as well as the use of lifting elements used in manufacturing service 100, provides the efficiencies and "automation" that help make this project profitable. further, the only integral base frame that is used as the props of each building for standard-sized housing D that is assembled not only allows it to be constructed, transported, and place the entire structure on a foundation with concrete casting from an irregular field, but which also provides a basis for the building for standard-sized housing D that is more stable and rigid than existing manufacturing methods. The manufacturing service 100 is oriented as shown in Figure 2 which is a perspective view of the manufacturing service 100 with the roof removed from it. With respect to this, the first line for production of pre-assemblies Pl produces an integral base frame that is placed on a transport element T. The second P2 and third P3 production lines for pre-assemblies build and subsequently relocate pre-assembled pre-assembled panels, including two-story high wall panels, on the pre-assembly of the floor. The fourth line for production of pre-assemblies P4 produces and places a pre-assembly for full-size roof over the divisions produced and installed previously in the building for houses of standard size D partially complete. Referring to Figure 2, the manufacturing service 100 shows the use of a plurality of production lines P1-P5 for juxtaposed pre-assemblies oriented in parallel each of which is used to create pre-assemblies and / or provide storage of the materials that They are used in the construction process. Orthogonal and aligned at one end of this plurality of production lines for pre-assemblies is a "lane for supply" DA through which the vehicles for supply pass to supply the raw materials used in the process of assembly of the building for standard size homes. The supply alley DA typically extends to the full length of the manufacturing service 100 and has sufficient dimensions so that the supply vehicles can be driven through the manufacturing service 100 to park the adjacent pre-assembly production line which is the destination for the materials provided by the supply vehicle. An integral H * lifting element to the P * pre-assembly production line then has the ability to quickly discharge raw materials from the supply vehicle and the supply vehicle then goes to manufacturing service 100 to a distant exit door 106 from the entrance door 102 through which it entered the manufacturing service 100. Juxtaposed and orthogonal to the plurality of lines P1-P5 for production of pre-assemblies and at the opposite end to the alley of DA supply is an alley for assembly of the building for HA houses where the raw materials and pre-assemblies produced in each line for production of pre-assemblies P * are assembled and integrated in a way inside the building for houses of standard size D. Each line for production of pre-assemblies P * takes the materials raw materials and either produces the pre-assemblies that are lifted by the lifting elements H * over the building to D-size dwellings that will be assembled or provide a storage capacity for the various raw materials that are used to create the building for standard-sized dwellings D. The specific details of each line for pre-assembly production P * is a matter of choice of design and determined to some extent by the architecture of the buildings for houses of standard size D that will be assembled in the service of manufacture 100. Suffice it to say that each line for production of pre-assemblies P * is responsible for the complete construction of a volumetric section of the building for standard-size housing D or used to complete the finishing work within the building for standard-size housing D that has been completed to a large extent in the previous stages of the construction process. In the first line for production of pre-assemblies Pl, a pre-assembly for floor is produced and loaded onto the transport element T. The pre-assembly for the floor includes an integral base frame that strengthens the pre-assembly for the floor to allow the construction, transportation and placement of the building for standard-sized dwellings D on its foundation. In the second P2 and third P3 production lines for pre-assemblies, which continue to the right of the first line for production of pre-assemblies Pl, large wall panels are mounted, rocks are placed on the sheet, finished, painted and subjected to inventory on shelves before installation in pre-assembly for adequate floor. In the second P2 and third P3 production lines for pre-assemblies are installed windows and doors in the pre-assemblies of wall with panels. In the fourth line for production of pre-assemblies P4, the full-size roof pre-assemblies are manufactured on the floor of the manufacturing service 100 and then they are lifted and placed on the building for standard-sized houses D partially complete and mounted by the crane of bridge H4. The finishing work, including the finishing of panel assemblies, cabinets, floor coverings, trimmings, etc., starts in the second line for production of pre-assemblies P2, continues through the fourth line for production of pre-assemblies P4 and is the primary activity implemented in the fifth line for the production of pre-assemblies P5. A strategic achievement of the manufacturing service 100 is to provide a large-scale factory in which there are multiple lines for production of P * pre-assemblies and which can be used to produce increasingly larger aspects of a building for standard-size dwellings D. Some fundamental considerations are that the manufacturing service 100 makes the bulk materials available for all lines for production of pre-assemblies P *, the capacity is provided in the modality shown here through the DA supply alley, which serves all lines for production of pre-assemblies P *. A second consideration is that a plurality of lines are used for the production of P * pre-assemblies, each of which produces a different increase in the building for standard-size dwellings D. An assembly lane of the HA housing building is used to relocate the building for standard-sized houses D partially complete of one line for production of pre-assemblies P * to the next line for production of pre-assemblies P * sequentially typically via the transport element T on which the building for standard-sized housing is built. A third consideration is the use of high capacity H * lifting elements in the production lines of P * pre-assemblies to allow the unloading and movement of bulk materials and for the construction and handling of large pre-assemblies, including the installation of the pre-assemblies in a building for houses of standard size D partially complete.
LIFTING ELEMENTS The operating efficiency of the manufacturing service 100 is achieved in part through the use of H * lifting elements that allow the movement of large volumes of materials or large pre-assemblies that are efficiently produced within the manufacturing service 100. The H * lifting elements minimize manual labor because they are used to select and place raw materials in place, individual pre-assemblies, and pre-stored materials, such as cabinets, floors, plumbing fixtures, in buildings for partially full-size standard housing. As can be seen from the perspective view of Figure 2, the manufacturing service 100 is housed within a steel structure building which uses a plurality of steel folds to support the roof, as well as the elements of H * lifting that are part of the manufacturing service 100. The folds are aligned with the limits of each line for production of P * pre-assemblies and have sufficient structural integrity also to support the lifting elements H * and the loads to which they provide service . The folds are typically supported by a plurality of columns, located at regular intervals along the length of the fold, with a free opening that is provided across the width of the assembly hallway of the HA housing building as well as the DA supply alley. For example, the assembly lane of the HA housing building should be sized to fit the full size of the building for full-size D-assembled homes. These dimensions could typically be a floor of 9.14-12.19 meters (30-40 feet) to the free space of the crease and a support column to support the free opening of the column of approximately 18.29 meters (60 feet). The specifications for the construction of steel folds of this construction are well known and are not discussed in detail herein. The bars that support the lifting elements H * are fastened to the columns and can also be hung from the folds in the opening area to provide support for the bars where the opening between the columns is greater than otherwise acceptable. for the load capacity of the bars. There can be multiple lifting elements H * in each line for production of pre-assemblies P *, with capacity to lift these lifting elements H * that are individually sized according to the task to be carried out in the line for production of pre-assemblies P * associated . The coverage area by the lifting elements H * inside a line for production of pre-assemblies P * can be superimposed in such a way that each lifting element H * has a sufficient variation of travel to provide the greatest flexibility in the use in that line for production of pre-assemblies P *, thus allowing the tasks to be carried out by a lifting element when the other lifting element is busy performing another task.
ARCHITECTURE OF THE MANUFACTURING SERVICE BY SATELLITE The integrated production of buildings for houses of standard size in an individual manufacturing service that is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 is segmented in the system of the present for the manufacture of buildings for houses of standard size , which comprises a network of services, as shown in Figure 3, located to maximize product efficiency and material flows. A portion of the manufacturing and assembly processes is carried out in the satellite manufacturing services 300-303, each of which is located in a respective residential housing development, and some or all of the processes for pre-assembly and material preparation / handling are implemented in one or more of the 311-312 master production services. A description of the typical processes for the production of pre-assemblies is found in United States Patent No. 6, 000,192 entitled "Method of Production of Standard Size Dwellings" and United States Patent No. 6,253,504 entitled "Manufacturing Facility for Production of Standard Size Dwellings", and will not be reproduced herein for simplicity of description. The various architectures and implementations of the satellite manufacturing service 300 are described herein and can be used for the use of pre-assemblies and materials produced in the master production services 311-312. The satellite fabrication services 300-302 use the survey apparatus to efficiently manipulate pre-assemblies and materials to assemble a housing building at the satellite location, which is close to the location where the assembled housing building will be installed. Master production services 311-312 operate to manufacture pre-assemblies and prepare materials for use in the plurality of satellite manufacturing services 300-302. A master production service 311 can supply all the pre-assemblies and materials used by a satellite manufacturing service 301 or can provide a subset of the pre-assemblies and materials used by a satellite manufacturing service 300, 302. In addition, the plurality of services Satellite fabrication 300-302 can receive materials and / or pre-assemblies from other sources to be used in the manufacturing process of residential buildings. Each of the implementations of the satellite manufacturing service 300 comprises one or more assembly zones, within which the pre-assemblies produced by the master production services 311-312 and / or used to create pre-assemblies are transported, and / or that are used to assemble the finished materials. The mounting areas shown in Figures 4-6 are shown as examples of geometries that can be used to implement the production process, although these are simply examples and other configurations can be used to implement the present system for manufacturing residential buildings. of standard size, as defined by the appended claims. Each satellite manufacturing service 300-302 is typically located as shown in Figure 1, which represents a variety of buildings for housing that can be built, including single-family detached homes, as well as multi-family units of three floors M, to illustrate the flexibility of the production capabilities of satellite manufacturing services. Multi-storey multi-storey buildings may be produced as a combination of a two-storey component with a total floor area of a building for standard-sized dwellings, with a one-floor component of a similarly sized floor produced for the third floor and it is placed on top of the two-story component by means of a crane. As shown in Figure 1, each manufacturing facility is erected in close proximity to a large number of construction sites B, some of which are shown in Figure 1 having residences located there, others having pre-existing foundations. built on site and others marked as lots without construction work being carried out. Figures 4-6 illustrate the typical implementations of the various mounting areas contained in a typical embodiment of the satellite manufacturing service 300 of the present system for the manufacture of standard sized residential buildings. In these Figures, a plurality of assembly areas are exposed and the functions implemented in these assembly areas can be combined, modified, or eliminated as they can determine the needs of the building for housing to be produced and the savings of the process. The number and nature of the process steps set forth herein are outlined with those set forth in the aforementioned patents for simplicity of understanding of the architectures set forth herein, since the detailed descriptions contained in these patents may be used for illustration. It is envisioned that the mounting areas P1-P5 and the locations L1-L5 simply represent a sensitive allocation of the satellite manufacturing service space 300 for the purposes required for material handling and pre-assembly and assembly of the residential building.
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Figure 7 illustrates a perspective view of a typical T transport element that is used to support the building for standard size D houses as assembled in the satellite manufacturing service 300 and transported from this service to a site permanent. The transport element T, as shown in a typical embodiment of Figure 7, comprises a rectangular frame formed of a plurality of rigid interconnected support frame members T1-T5. Several of the support members T1-T4 form the substantially rectangular outer frame and the remaining support member T5 forms an inner support member. A building for standard-sized dwellings in outline form with dashed lines placed on the transport element T is shown to illustrate the size and magnitude of the transport element T with respect to a building for standard-sized housing. Typical T1-T5 support members are shown as steel I-beams of sufficient capacity to support the building for standard-sized housing. Three of the support members TI, T3, T5 are shown equipped with wheel assemblies to thereby allow the transport element T to be repositioned within the satellite manufacturing service 300 and therefore to the construction site with . the building for standard-sized houses placed on the transport element. Figure 7 also illustrates a trailer hitch PH fixed to one end of the substantially rectangular frame formed of the support members T1-T5 to thereby enable a towing vehicle to connect to the transport element T and perform the transport function. It is obvious that various alternative embodiments of the transport element T can be envisaged, such as, for example, having the distance of the axes to the total width of the transport element, as a function of the performance characteristics required for the specific implementation of the satellite manufacturing service 300, as well as, the nature of the trajectory that the transport element can take towards the construction site. It is also envisaged that the wheel assemblies W can be produced in such a way that they can be moved from the frame formed of the support members T1-T5. In this way, it is possible that the transport element could comprise the integral base frame FF of the structure itself, with the wheel assemblies W initially installed thereto to facilitate the movement of the building for standard-sized housing through the process of manufacture and to take it to the construction site. Once installed on the construction site, the standard-sized residential building no longer requires the W wheel assemblies, and these can be removed for reuse in the manufacture of another building for standard-sized housing. Also, the wheel assemblies W can be interchanged in such a way that a separate assembly is used to move the building for standard-size housing D to the construction site. Wheel assemblies that W can also be distributed within the factory if the foundation frame is used as part of a rail system.
ARCHITECTURE OF THE INTEGRAL BASE FRAME The integral base frame is that structural element that is integral to the base of a satellite manufacturing service to produce a building for standard-sized housing, and provides the foundation upon which the plants and plants will be added. the vertical frame elements for the residential building. The integral base frame allows you to create a building for full-sized housing in its entirety and move it before placing it on a permanent foundation. The integral base frame is typically provided at the base of the perimeter walls that go outward, on the internal walls carrying the load, at other selected locations and which may be contained within a floor pre-assembly. In the satellite manufacturing service, the standard-sized residential building is constructed with an integral base frame to allow for the simple relocation of the partially constructed residential building within the satellite manufacturing service and finally on a permanent foundation in the building site for homes. The residential building can also be moved later without significant complexity, because the structure incorporates the integral base frame and can be relocated to another permanent foundation. In this way, the building construction for standard-sized homes in the satellite manufacturing service is built practically "in space" instead of "in place". For this to be possible, the initial step in the manufacturing process requires the use of the integral base frame that establishes a solid starting point and provides a dimensionally stable foundation. The integral base frame provides with this the structural integrity to the base of the satellite manufacturing service to manufacture a housing building, which allows the housing building to exist in the space without continuous additional support to allow the building for housing Standard size that will be manufactured, transported and placed on a permanent foundation as a rigid, self-supporting, integral structure. The integral base frame distributes the vertical loads downwards from the wall sections towards the transport element and upwards from the transport element to the walls carrying the load. The integral base frame also provides a dimensionally stable flat surface on which the floor and wall elements can be added and can be fabricated from light gauge steel, standard steel sections, wood, concrete, plastic, or other suitable materials . Figure 8 illustrates a perspective view of a typical architecture of the integral base frame assembly FF that is used in the manufacturing process of the building for standard-sized housing. In particular, the integral base frame FF is the element that circumscribes the entire building for houses of standard size D and provides support and stability to allow the complete complete structure to be relocated by means of a C crane or by beams and rollers from an element of transport T to the foundation preassembled in the construction lot B. To carry out this function, the integral base frame FF comprises a set of steel beams, such as, for example, the I-beams or steel pipes that are assembled in a frame that adapts to the foundation. The I-beams or steel tubes, as shown in Figure 8, are assembled by welding together or by bolting to form a frame on which a FJ floor beam assembly can be fabricated. Beams I or pre-cut steel pipes are placed to cover the exposed ends of the partially assembled integral base frame FF and complete a total section of the floor pre-assembly. FJ beams are secured to integral FF base frame via welds, bolts, screws, shot nails and the like, at the points where one of the FJ steel beams will face a corresponding point of the FF integral base frame. The dimensions of the integral base frame FF and the beams FJ are preferably selected in such a way that the beams fit perfectly within the "bag" created by the cross section of the integral base frame elements and the integral base frame capped FF creates a resulting dimensionally stable pre-assembly and rigid floor. The FS floor covering, as shown in Figure 8, is placed to expose a length of the beams FJ sufficient to fit within the bag provided by the integral base frame FF, so that the pre-assembly for assembled floor is not Include no gap between the FS floor cover and the integral base frame FF. Alternatively, steel pipes can be used to create an integral frame on top of which the floor joists are placed, where they are easy to install and articulate in flexible ways.
SATELLITE SERVICE CONFIGURATIONS Figures 4-6 represent various configurations of the satellite manufacturing service 300. Folding the linear structure of the traditional production of residential housing into a virtually volumetric process, and relocating the partially complete structure within the manufacturing service by Satellite 300 from one location to another, a significant amount of flexibility in work planning can be achieved by intermixing the finished work, the black and characteristic work in concurrently existing operations within the same structure. Figure 4 illustrates a typical linear flow of the manufacturing process where the building for homes is assembled in a plurality of stages, with each location L1-L5 in the satellite manufacturing service 300 being served by an associated assembly area P1- P5, or in some cases an individual P5 mounting area can serve various locations L4A, L5 as shown in Figure 4. In this process, it is shown that the roof pre-assembly is manufactured on-site in the manufacturing service by satellite 300, instead of being supplied as a complete pre-assembly, due to the typical size of a roof pre-assembly. To illustrate this capability, the roof pre-assembly is implemented in a plurality of stages at the locations L4A, L4B feeding the installation location of the final roof L4 where the full roof pre-assembly is placed on the partially built-up housing building assembled that is has moved from location L3 to location L4. The residential building is assembled in stages, in each of the locations L1-L5, and the collection of these locations L1-L5 is referred to herein as an assembly lane HA for convenience. It is not necessary to be a specialized assembly lane, and the location of the buildings for housing in its various stages of realization can be determined by the availability and implementation of the various lifting devices used to move, lift and place the base frame , floor pre-assemblies, wall pre-assemblies, prefabricated kitchen / bathroom modules, roof pre-assembly, and any other components or materials. In this way, the use of an assembly lane of the HA housing building is simply an illustration to demonstrate a typical configuration and is not a limitation on the implementation of the satellite manufacturing service. The sequence of the process steps (described below) and the location of the various functions illustrated in Figure 4 are presented for illustration and are not intended to limit the concepts set forth herein. In particular, for a single-storey building there would be no need for a second floor-mounting process at location L3, and much of the finishing work can be implemented at location L3 instead of and / or in addition to the location L5 In addition, the construction of the roof pre-assembly can be implemented outside the building that houses other portions of the building assembly for housing, with the roof to be installed on the building for partially assembled homes either inside or outside the building that houses other assembly portions of the building for housing, with the external installation that reduces the requirement of height of the construction. Similarly, the finished work shown as being implemented at location L5 can be done inside another building, outside of a building, and possibly at a site distant from the building that houses other assembly portions of the residential building. The linear flow of the process shown in Figure 4 can be implemented in the configuration shown in Figure 5, where the multi-use mounting zones P1-P2 serve the assembly of the building for housing Ll, L2 and the locations of the manufacture of the roof pre-assembly L4B, L4A. The mounting areas P3 and P5 serve the locations L3 and L5, respectively, to provide the pre-assemblies and materials to the process steps implemented therein. The assembly of the residential building is carried out in various locations within the satellite manufacturing service 300 and this configuration can even be used to support two building assembly processes for homes where the L4B, L4A, L4 locations are used for functions designated for locations L1-L3, while location L5 comprises a location where the roof pre-assembly is manufactured. In this case, the roof installation can be carried out in locations L3, L4 and the residential building can go to the satellite manufacturing service 300 for the finishing work and installation in the permanent location of the housing building. Figure 6 illustrates a single linear flow of the assembly process of the residential building, where the pre-assembly of the roof can be carried out in the mounting area P4, for installation in the location L4. Alternatively, the mounting zones P1-P5 each can be used for the complete assembly of a building for housing in the associated locations L1-L5, instead of relocating a partially assembled house building between the locations L1-L5. Thus, in the configuration shown in Figure 6, five housing buildings can be mounted simultaneously. In all these configurations, and others naturally derived from these configurations, a lifting apparatus is used to move, lift and position the base frame, the floor pre-assemblies, the pre-assembled walls, the pre-fabricated kitchen / bathroom modules, the pre-assembly of roof, and any other components or materials. The centralized manufacture of pre-assemblies and / or the processing of the materials in "cutting lengths" and / or the assembly of the components and materials in the master manufacturing services 311, 312 provides economic and efficiency advantages, where manufacturing services masters 311, 312 can power many satellite manufacturing services 300-302, where the assembly of the housing building is carried out, using survey apparatus to implement this process. The following description of the various mounting areas refers to the specific configuration illustrated in Figure 4, although the concepts articulated therein can be applied to other configurations.
FIRST MOUNTING AREA The first mounting area Pl of the satellite manufacturing service 300 is mainly used to create the pre-assembly for floors, which at a minimum includes the residential integral base frame described above, and may also include the beam assembly for floors and the sub-floors as described above. The floor platform pre-assemblies are then typically placed on the beams and rollers of the transport element T which is placed in the assembly lane of the housing building HA of the satellite manufacturing service 300. In the first assembly area Pl can be include a mounting area of the integral base frame and partially assembled integral base frames are used to create a pre-assembly of floor joists, with insulation, electrical installation, plumbing installed in them and the floor covering installed in the same. The floor beam pre-assemblies are transported and placed on the transport element T in a predetermined position and interconnected with other frames (if any) produced to create a pre-assembly for full floor.
SECOND MOUNTING AREA The second mounting area P2 of the satellite manufacturing service 300 is mainly used to fabricate the exterior walls and interior walls on the first floor of the building for standard-size dwellings D. A mounting area is included to place wall panels in the second mounting area P2 to store the pre-assemblies of an exterior or interior wall, with the insulation, the electrical installation, the plumbing, the windows, the doors installed in it as desired. The workers can put adhesive tape on the joints, finish the joints, and paint the wall pre-assembly, if it has not been done. The pre-assembly of the finished wall is then relocated to storage shelves located in the second mounting area P2 or is placed directly in the position and secured in the housing building D which is assembled in the assembly lane of the housing building HA in a predetermined position and interconnected with other wall pre-assemblies to create a complete framework and the assembly of the structure in the basement. The exterior finish may not be present on the exterior walls to allow workers to have access to the various services that run through the walls. As the wall segments are joined, the pre-installed services must be interconnected in them, and this can be done via access from the outside (or the top) of the wall, instead of the interior as it is done in the news The multitude of subsystems comprising a building for housing are treated as an integrated system with the progression of construction of each subsystem coordinated with the various different systems to ensure a coherent construction of the building for housing in an effective manner. At this time, to increase the speed of manufacture, reduce the handling of materials, assemblies of cabinets, doors, windows, floor coverings, etc. can be pre-booked in the structure of the building for houses of standard size D. The pre-reservation allows that the workers in later stages of assembly have the necessary materials already located inside the building for houses of standard size D, via the element of H2 lift, to allow the workers to do the finishing work concurrently with the second floor and the roof that is assembled and installed in the building for standard-sized houses D. The materials, such as, for example, the joints, can be larger dimensions that are typically used because the H2 lifting element can be used to transport these materials, instead of depending on whether the workers handle each piece individually, with the size of the materials determined by the physical limitations of the materials. workers.
THIRD ASSEMBLY ZONE The third assembly area P3 is predicated on the presumption that the standard-sized housing building to be manufactured is a two-story residential building. Obviously, if building buildings are being manufactured for a plant, the third mounting area P3 as described herein can be judged to be unnecessary. The equipment (such as, for example, lifting apparatus H3) and the work areas of the third mounting area P3 are similar to those of the second mounting area P2.
FOURTH ASSEMBLY AREA The fourth mounting area P4 of the satellite manufacturing service 300 is mainly used to manufacture, relocate and install the pre-assembly of the building roof for standard-sized dwellings D. This assembly area, if used to manufacture a The roof pre-assembly can comprise a series of zones P4A-P4C each of which is used to manufacture a portion of the roof pre-assembly or a plurality of roof pre-assemblies. Roof fabrication can be implemented outside the building housing the satellite manufacturing service. The equipment and work zones of the fourth mounting zone P4 typically comprise at least one raw material processing phase. In particular, the standard lengths of the frame members and the roof shoring members are supplied to the fourth mounting area P4. A mounting area for roof pre-assembly is included in the fourth mounting area P4. The roof pre-assembly is then lifted into place above the two-storey mounted structure and thus something different from the existing roof designs must be constructed. In particular, because an H4 crane (such as an aerial crane) "selects and places" the total roof pre-assembly, the shoring used to fabricate the roof pre-assembly must be designed to withstand both traditional dynamic roof loads as static, supported by the frame of the house, as well as be able to support the weight of the roof assembled when it is rising. Therefore, roof shoring must be designed taking into account the loads of understanding and tension in all conditions. The overhead crane H4 transports the complete roof pre-assembly from the manufacturing areas for pre-assembly of roofs L4B, L4A to the alley HA of the building for housing, when placed on the assembled structure, which was installed on the transport element T in the first area Pl up to the third mounting area P3 of the satellite manufacturing service 300, in a predetermined position and interconnected with the inner and outer wall of the mounting areas to create a building for standard housing D full enclosed . The manufacture of the pre-assembly of roof over the production areas of the pre-assembly of ceilings results in a reduced time of assembly, because the work at floor level is easier, safer and more effective than the construction of the roof in place over the building for houses mounted on two floors two floors as is currently done in the technology for construction of buildings for housing with wood.
FIFTH ASSEMBLY ZONE The fifth assembly area P5 of the satellite manufacturing service 300 is used to perform all the remaining finishing work that was not completed in previous manufacturing stages. In this regard, the fifth mounting area P5 may not be strictly referred to as a mounting area because no pre-assembly is produced therein, but instead, in the preferred embodiment of the satellite manufacturing service 300, it is used. as a storage and assembly area where the pre-reservation materials are stored, such as, for example, the floor covering, they are stored and cut to a size for transportation to the assembly area suitable for insertion into the building for partially complete housing in the assembly lane of the housing building HA, as described above. Therefore, the finishing work includes any painting, installation of bathroom furniture, electrical outlets, upholstery work, installation of appliances, etc., remaining. The additional exterior work that was not previously completed is done at this time, such as, for example, the channels, roofing, electrical installation, exterior wall painting, etc. The materials for these activities can be stored in a plurality of rows of high niche storage shelves. The materials handled in the fifth mounting area P5 of the satellite manufacturing service 300 can be further adapted to processing using a forklift instead of an overhead crane. In addition, the assembly lane of the HA housing building may not be adjacent to the fifth assembly area P5, because there is not necessarily any relocation of large packages of materials for the housing building in this production phase. Therefore, the building for dwellings can even be moved at this time to a section of the building distant from the mounting areas P1-P4, or "outside the site" external to the construction to another enclosed structure, or even to a outside area.
SUMMARY The benefits of the satellite manufacturing service are those of buildings for standard-sized homes produced in the satellite manufacturing service represent significant advances from which it is produced by the housing industry today. This is achieved by collapsing the traditional sequential construction process into a small finite number of steps, each of which is implemented in a predetermined service assembly area somewhat independent of, still in close coordination with, the construction activity that is takes place in the other service assembly areas.
