Bracket, a building module, a method for making the module, and a method for using the module to construct a building

1. A rigid bracket, comprising:

a platform bearing a substantially planar surface and

first and second sides appending from the platform away from the planar surface,

a bottom panel extending from the first side to the second side,

wherein each of the first and second sides defines a proximal portion and a distal portion therealong, wherein the distal portion of the first side is inwardly directed toward the distal portion of the second side, wherein the distal portion of the second side is inwardly directed toward the distal portion of the first side, wherein the bottom panel extends from the distal portion of the first side to the distal portion of the second side, and wherein the bracket is formed from a single piece of a metal,

wherein each of the first and second sides define a base flange at an end of the distal portion thereof, wherein each base flange defines a first arcuate well inside of the first and second sides and a second arcuate well outside of the first and second sides.

2. The rigid bracket of claim 1 , wherein each proximal portion is parallel to the other proximal portion.

3. The rigid bracket of claim 1 , wherein the bracket is an extruded aluminum bracket.

4. The rigid bracket of claim 1 , wherein the substantially planar surface of the bracket is from about 9 square inches to about 25 square inches in area.

5. The rigid bracket of claim 1 , wherein the bracket is an extruded aluminum bracket, and wherein the substantially planar surface of the bracket is from about 9 square inches to about 25 square inches in area.

6. A building module, comprising:

an inner construction panel defining a planar surface thereon,

one or more rigid brackets each affixed by one or more fasteners to the planar surface of the inner construction panel, wherein each of the one or more brackets includes a platform bearing a planar surface facing substantially away from the planar surface of the inner construction panel, wherein the surface area of the planar surface of the one or more brackets is substantially smaller than the surface area of the planar surface of the inner construction panel to which the one or more brackets is affixed, wherein each of the one or more brackets includes first and second sides appending from the platform thereof, wherein each of the one or more brackets includes a bottom panel extending from the first side to the second side, wherein each of the first and second sides of each of the one or more brackets defines a proximal portion and a distal portion therealong, wherein the distal portion of the first side of each of the one or more brackets is inwardly directed toward the distal portion of the second side, wherein each of the first and second sides defines a proximal portion and a distal portion therealong, wherein the distal portion of the first side of each of the one or more brackets is inwardly directed toward the distal portion of the second side, wherein the distal portion of the second side of each of the one or more brackets is inwardly directed toward the distal portion of the first side, wherein the bottom panel of each of the one or more brackets extend from the distal portion of the first side to the distal portion of the second side, and wherein each of the one or more brackets is formed from a single piece of a metal.

7. The module of claim 6 , wherein the proximal portion of the first side of each of the one or more brackets is parallel to the proximal portion of the second side of each of the one or more brackets.

8. The module of claim 6 , wherein each of the first and second sides defines a base flange at an end of the distal portion thereof, wherein each base flange defines a first arcuate well inside of the first and second sides and a second arcuate well outside of the first and second sides.

9. The module of claim 6 , wherein the one or more brackets is an extruded aluminum bracket.

10. The module of claim 6 , wherein the planar surface of the one or more brackets is from about 9 square inches to about 25 square inches in area.

11. The module of claim 6 , wherein the proximal portion of the first side of each of the one or more brackets is parallel to the proximal portion of the second side of each of the one or more brackets, wherein each of the first and second sides define a base flange at an end of the distal portion thereof, wherein the base flanges each define a first arcuate well inside and a second arcuate well outside of the first and second sides, wherein the one or more brackets is an extruded aluminum bracket, and wherein the substantially planar surface of the one or more brackets is from about 9 square inches to about 25 square inches in area.

12. A method for constructing a building, comprising joining a plurality of the building module of claim 6 .
