Abstract:

A method for providing standardized modular elements usable to construct a building. The method includes defining a set of allowable functional building block configurations divided into assembly levels, defining allowable configurations and allowable interactions for each allowable functional building block configuration usable in a building configuration. The method also includes producing standardized modular elements based on the allowable configurations and allowable interactions for a desired building configuration. Fabricated standardized modular components are provided (produced, assembled, or fabricated) at an off-site location and employed in a building at an on-site location.
