Abstract

Disclosed is a modular building system including, in some embodiments, one or more wall panels, one or more floor panels, and one or more roof panels. The modular building components of the modular building system including the one or more wall panels, the one or more floor panels, and the one or more roof panels can faun housing or storage structures with electrical wiring, plumbing, or both wiring and plumbing. The housing or storage structures can be erected by one or more persons without a need for a plumber, an electrician, or power tools. Also disclosed is a method for erecting one or more housing or storage structure in accordance with the modular building system.

Claims (14)

1. A method for erecting a housing or storage structure with a modular building system, comprising:

unpacking a kit including wall panels, floor panels, and roof panels for the housing or storage structure;

spreading out a footprint guide of the housing or storage structure;

inserting pipes a certain depth into the ground such that the pipes are about perpendicular with the ground around the footprint guide; and

connecting the panels to each other and the pipes to form the housing or storage structure, wherein modular building components of the modular building system including the wall panels, the floor panels, and the roof panels connect to each other and the pipes to form the housing or storage structure without a need for power tools.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein connecting the panels to each other includes first connecting the floor panels to each other to form a floor of the housing or storage structure.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein connecting the panels to each other further includes connecting the wall panels to the floor panels after forming the floor of the housing or storage structure.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein connecting the wall panels to the floor panels includes forming a first perimeter of connected wall panels on the floor before forming a second perimeter of connected wall panels over the first perimeter.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein connecting the wall panels to the floor panels and connecting the wall panels to other wall panels includes forming electrical connections of wiring in the panels or plumbing connections of tubing in the panels between at least two of the panels, and

wherein the electrical connections of wiring and the plumbing connections of tubing respectively do not need an electrician or a plumber to make the connections.
