<p>A method and apparatus for constructing a development or subdivision of individual dwellings. A large tract of land is subdivided into lots and semi-finished roads are built to connect the lots to a public highway. The roads also connect the lots to a factory in which houses are built and from which they arc transported to the lots. Suitable foundations are poured at each site, using special forms. The houses are built on jacks in the factory which support the perimeter frame of the house on a level plane. The house is lowered after completion onto a special trailer to be towed to the lot. Each house structure includes lifting rods extending from perimeter beams at the foot of the house walls. These are connected through a lifting harness to a crane for lifting the house onto the foundation. The houses are delivered progressively toward the factory, beginning at the remote ends of the tract. When all the houses have been constructed and put in place, the roads are finish surfaced and the factory is converted into a shopping center or other useful building for servicing the occupants of the houses.</p> |
