Abstract: A fast, flexible, and affordable structural building solution is disclosed. Current construction methodologies are prohibitively costly, slow, and wasteful. This construction method provides responsive and adaptive short to long term structural solutions.

This system is easy to assemble and reusable with decreased maintenance costs and utilizes standardized shipping infrastructure. The structural elements are designed to build flexible residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. Component standardization reduces construction and maintenance cost over traditional building methods. The ease of construction reduces the learning curve for the assembly process. Embedded utilities in the components further minimize construction time. The modular nature of the design system allows for rapid assembly, disassembly, and redeployment as needed.
