  • end wall frames 16 Attached to and extending upwardly from the floor frame 13 are end wall frames 16 that are both internally and externally cladded, and provided with an insulation material if so required. Extending between the end wall frames 16 is a side wall frame 17 that is also internally and externally cladded, and provided with an insulating material if so required. Opposite the side wall frame 17, between wall end frames 16, is a support frame 18. Supported by the end wall frames 16, the side wall frame 17 and support frame 18 is a ceiling frame 19 that has a ceiling lining attached. The ceiling frame 19 acts as a bearer for braces 30. Also an upper floor frame 20 is also provided and has sheet floor material 15 attached. Floor frame 20 is independently attached to side wall frame 17 and support frame 18.
  • the frame 19 and frame 20 provide a frame assembly 53.
  • Pivotally attached to the side wall frame 17 by one or more pivot assemblies 21 is a roof frame 22.
  • the roof frame 22 would have an external roof cladding 21 and preferably an internal cladding 24, and insulation material if so required.
  • an insert frame 25 that is also externally and internally cladded.
  • the size and configuration of the insert frame 25 will determine the inclination of the roof frames 22 and therefore the room space available to the upper floor of the home 10.
  • Each pivot assembly 21 includes a central shaft 26 that is attached to the frame 22 to support the frame 22, and a surrounding sleeve or bearing 27 that is fixed to the associated side frame 17.
  • the shaft 26 is slidably mounted within the sleeve 27 for angular movement about the longitudinal axis 28.
  • Extending between each frame 22 and the associated ceiling frame 19 and/or floor frame 20 are jacks 29 that are operated to cause pivoting movement of the associated frame 22 about a horizontal axis. Accordingly, the jacks 29 raise and lower the associated frame -22 between the lowered transport position at which the frame 22 is horizontal and located adjacent the frame 20, and a raised position at which the frame 22 extends upwardly at an acute angle to the frame 19.
  • the jacks 29 may be hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical.
  • braces 30 are secured in position to and in maintaining the inclination of the associated frame 22.
  • end frames 31 are secured in position together with the insert frame 25.
  • the various frames may be provided with door and/or window openings.
  • the frames are provided with service conduits (sewerage and water) and electrical wiring.
  • the building 11 when in the transport configuration occupies a volume similar to that of an ISO container. This enables efficient transportation of the building 11 and the efficient use of available equipment currently used for the handling of such containers. It is also preferred that the building 11 be provided with appropriate gaskets and seals so that when erected the various walls are sealingly joined.
  • the building 11 have the various frames formed from metal such as extruded aluminium and/or rolled sheet metal.
  • the external cladding may be metal sheeting or plastic sheeting.
  • FIGs 18 to 13 there is schematically depicted transportation assemblies 32.
  • the assemblies 32 are intended to support an associated one of the buildings 11.
  • a building 11 would occupy the space 33 (as shown in Figure 8) that would approximate the size of an ISO container.
  • the building 11 would also be provided with a bolt on transom frame 34 that would facilitate handling of the building 10 by suitable equipment such as forklifts.
  • Each assembly 32 includes a base member 35 to which the associated building 11 is secured by means of flanges 36.
  • the base 35 has an upper rectangular hollow member 38 that slidably receives inner members 39 to which there is attached end collars 37.
  • the inner members 39 are movable between a retracted position (as shown in Figure 12) and an extended position (as shown in Figure 14).
  • the end collars 37 have rotatably driven jacks 40 that engage columns 41 to cause vertical movement of the collars 37 along the columns 41 to raise and lower the base member 35.
  • the inner members 39 are extended and the jacks 40 operated to cause the lower end of the columns 41 to engage a ground surface to support the assembly 32 and the building supported thereon.
  • each assembly further includes a transport member 42 that includes a transverse beam 43 to which there is pivotally attached a pair of legs 44.
  • the legs 44 are angularly movable between a transport position as shown in Figure 14 and an operative position (ground engaging) position as shown in Figure 12.
  • the legs 44 would be provided with support pads 45.
  • the legs 44 would be adjustable in length. When in the operative position the legs 44 would support their associated building 11 in a raised position.
  • each transverse member 43 would have sockets 46 that would receive the projections that would typically secure an ISO container in position.
  • each assembly 32 would further include a stacking frame 47 including a transverse member 48 supported by vertical columns 49. Each column 49 is bolted to flanges 50 and 51 so that each member 48 is supported on the lower member 35. Each member 48 has projections 52 that would engage within the sockets 46 of an associated assembly 32 stacked thereon. Accordingly, the assemblies 32 and their associated buildings 33 are vertically stackable.
  • the above described preferred embodiment has a number of advantages including being easily transported by sea, rail and road while taking advantage of existing container handling equipment.
  • the home 10 can accommodate a wide variety of floor plans, with the upper floor being changeable in ceiling height by the use of different insert frames.
  • standard materials are employed and the walls, floor and roof provided with insulation.
