Abstract (en)

Modular caisson units are pre-fabricated and erected and assembled at the building site. The caisson units make the external walls (8) and the roof panels (42) of the building or house. They carry their own heat insulating material (14) and provide passages for the servicing of electric cables and water pipes (28). They act as structural elements for the house. Some caisson units serve as a beam (31) disposed across the house openings which permit great versatility in the location and dimensions of such openings. These beam units (31) serve also to interlock with the roof caissons (42). An eave unit is also provided to interlock the wall caissons (8) with the roof caissons (42).
