Each block has a first end provided with a vertically extending guide hole having one of the guide members extending therethrough, and a second end coupled to a first end of a horizontally adjacent block. The fabricated building also includes a first threshold defining a first guide hole having one of the guide members extending therethrough and a second guide hole having one of the guide members extending therethrough. The fabricated building also includes a second threshold defining a first guide hole having one of the guide members extending therethrough and a second guide hole having one of the guide members extending therethrough. The first threshold and the second threshold define a frame space therebetween.

Multiple linings are assembled between any of the two upright frames, and each lining is located corresponding to the inside of each of the separators. Multiple outer plates are assembled between any of the two upright frames, and each outer plate is located relative to the outside of each of the separators. A door plate assembly is installed between the base frame set and the top frame set.

Disclosed herein is the fabrication and implementation of prefabricated volumetric construction modules that include transitioning members that adjust between vertical support columns and structural trusses via lateral joints. Modification of vertical support columns to trusses enables open space configurations in volumetric construction. Each volumetric module includes a habitation zone and a truss zone. Folding or transitioning a vertical support column at the lateral joint positions a lower region of the support column from the habitation zone into the truss zone. The vertical support columns are transitioned in a specified order where within a given row of vertical support columns. Beginning from a first interior column on an edge-positioned transforming volumetric module, workers fold half of the vertical support columns of the given row into the truss arrangement in a first direction toward the edge-positioned transforming volumetric module. Continuing from a second interior column on an opposite edge-positioned transforming volumetric module, a worker folds a remaining half of the vertical support columns of the given row into the truss arrangement in a second direction toward the opposite edge-positioned transforming volumetric module.

The present invention provides a construction set suitable for creating a variety of structures and includes a plurality of elements. A modular construction system includes hubs which are embodied as solid-surfaced hexahedrons having at least one flanged protrusion on at least two faces of each hexahedron. Adjacent structural bodies in the modular construction system may be connected to as few as one face of a hub, or to as many as all six faces, by means of attachable connector elements. The hexahedron at the core of the hub may be of the same or larger dimensions relative to the cross-section of the framing materials (e.g., lumber, tubing, composites, metals, extruded members) it connects.

A connector assembly, having an upper connector coupled to a lower connector and a gusset plate sandwiched between the upper and lower connectors. Also, disclosed is a hoistable connector assembly, a lifting frame assembly, a coupling system for modular frame units, a method for assembling a module unit using the connector assembly, and a modular frame unit and building having the connector assembly.

A mobile office structure and comprises a base frame set including multiple first base frames and multiple second base frames. Multiple wheel sets are connected to the underside of each of the second base frames. A top frame set includes multiple first top frames and multiple second top frames. Multiple upright frames are located at four corners of a combination of the base frame sets and the top frame sets. Multiple separators are respectively connected between any two of the upright frames. Multiple linings are assembled between any of the two upright frames, and each lining is located corresponding to the inside of each of the separators. Multiple outer plates are assembled between any of the two upright frames, and each outer plate is located relative to the outside of each of the separators. A door plate assembly is installed between the base frame set and the top frame set.

A portable housing system is provided that transmits forces through a plurality of walls. The walls may be arrayed about a central axis. A tension cable is wrapped around top ends of the walls, and anchor cables are interconnected to bottom ends of the walls. This cabling system transmits lateral forces through the walls towards the central axis. Joists and rafters extend inwardly from the walls towards a floor ring and a roof ring, respectively. The weight of the housing system acts against the cabling system, and the housing system rests in balanced state. The anchor cables may also anchor the housing system to a ground surface.

A portable shelter that is convertible between a collapsed transport configuration and an expanded operational configuration. The shelter includes a container having a wing wall that is selectively pivotal between a closed position and an open position, and an inflatable tent having a flexible inflatable support structure and a flexible cover. When the wing wall is in the open position, the inflatable support structure is selectively inflatable from a collapsed configuration to an operational configuration to thereby support the cover in an expanded operational configuration above the wing wall, such that the cover forms a sheltered space. The inflatable support structure is selectively deflatable from the operational configuration to the collapsed configuration, whereupon the first wing wall may be pivoted to the closed position to store the tent within an internal space of the container, such that the shelter is in the transport configuration.

A construction system comprising an elongate column member, an elongate beam member and at least one connector member. Each of the elongate members comprising an interior engaging portion 3B. The connector member includes a protruding keying portion 12 and mating formation 13. When the elongate column member and elongate beam members are engaged with the connector member in use, the interior engaging portion slidably receives the mating formation therein. The elongate members have a keying portion on an outside of their body to allow connection to a wall frame.
