Abstract

The present invention relates to a facility for manufacturing non-roadable buildings. The facility includes an enclosed area having a roof and a plurality of bays for positioning the non-roadable buildings therein, each of the plurality of bays is configured to have one non-roadable building positioned therein and being at least partially enclosed and separated from each other of the plurality of bays. The facility further includes an exit positioned adjacent each of the plurality of bays configured to allow the non-roadable building positioned therein to pass therethrough when the non-roadable building is substantially complete and lifting devices positioned within the enclosed area and configured to move elements for manufacturing of the non-roadable building through the facility, including movement of the elements to each of the plurality of bays.

         2 . A facility according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said lifting means includes at least one of the following: an overhead crane, a gantry crane, a floor crane and a fork lift.   
     
     
         3 . A facility according to  claim 1 , further including
 a plurality of subassemblies areas, each subassembly area dedicated to building a predetermined portion of the non-roadable building.   
     
     
         4 . A facility according to  claim 3 , wherein
 said elements for manufacturing include said predetermined portion.   
     
     
         5 . A facility according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said lifting means are configured to pass over and between said plurality of bays.   
     
     
         6 . A facility according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said facility includes a dedicated area to move said lifting means.   
     
     
         7 . A facility according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said non-roadable buildings are at least two stories.   
     
     
         8 . A facility according to  claim 1 , further comprising
 a vehicle connection area proximate each said exit, said vehicle connection area configured to allow a multiple piece transporter access to at least two sides of said building, said multiple piece transporter being capable of lifting and moving said non-roadable building to a predetermined site.   
     
     
         9 . A method of manufacturing non-roadable buildings, comprising the steps of
 providing an enclosed area having a roof, said enclosed area having a plurality or bays for positioning said non-roadable buildings therein, each of said plurality of bays configured to have one non-roadable building positioned therein and being at least partially enclosed and separated from each other of said plurality of bays;   assembling said non-roadable buildings, such that each of said non-roadable buildings is substantially complete, using lifting means positioned within said enclosed area to move elements for manufacturing of the non-roadable building through said enclosed area, including movement of said elements to each of said plurality of bays; and   exiting said enclosed area through a doorway configured to allow said substantially complete non-roadable building to pass therethrough and adjacent each of said plurality of bays.   
     
     
         10 . A method according to  claim 9 , wherein
 said lifting means includes at least one of the following: an overhead crane, a gantry crane, a floor crane and a fork lift.   
     
     
         11 . A method according to  claim 9 , further including the step of
 providing a plurality of subassemblies areas, each subassembly area dedicated to building a predetermined portion of the non-roadable building.   
     
     
         12 . A method according to  claim 9 , wherein
 said lifting means are configured to pass over and between said plurality of bays.   
     
     
         13 . A method according to  claim 9 , wherein
 said enclosed area includes a dedicated area to move said lifting means.   
     
     
         14 . A method according to  claim 9 , wherein
 said substantially complete non-roadable buildings are at least two stories.   
     
     
         15 . A method according to  claim 9 , wherein
 said step of exiting said enclosed area includes connecting said building to a vehicle at a vehicle connection area proximate said exit, said vehicle connection area configured to allow a multiple piece transporter access to at least two sides of said building, said multiple piece transporter being capable of lifting and moving said non-roadable building to a predetermined site.   
     
     
         16 . An enclosed facility for manufacturing movable standard sized dwellings, comprising:
 a plurality of bays configured to have one movable standard sized dwelling manufactured and positioned therein, each of said bays at least partially separated from each of said other bays;   a plurality of subassembly areas, each of said subassembly areas configured to have a portion of the standard sized dwelling built therein:   lifting means to lift and move each of said plurality of subassembly areas to each of said plurality of bays; and   an exit proximate each of said plurality of bays configured to allow the standard sized dwelling to exit each bay;   wherein said standard sized dwellings are configured to be moved by a multiple piece transport vehicle, capable of moving said standard sized dwelling from an area adjacent said exit.
