The design and construction of pre-fabricated homes has undergone little advancement in technology over the past fifty years. Currently, pre-fabricated homes are of similar design characteristics, that being, wood frame with sheets of plywood and dry wall. When natural forces such as high wind, water surge or seismic events are applied to these homes, “point loads” are generated at each wooden joint that may lead to catastrophic failure.

The World Home design will allow pre-fabricated all-composite homes to be produced that will exhibit tremendous improvements over existing pre-fabricated structures by using a “monocoque” design, low cost automated manufacturing process and pre-fabricated, “easy to assemble,” on-site construction.

By greatly lowering production and on-site assembly costs, the pre-fabricated World Home will reduce the over-all cost of homes by 30-percent or more and will allow these homes to withstand hurricane force wind, flood surge, fire and minimize damage associated with these events. In addition, the World Home will resist insect infestation, dry rot, rust and mildew; a virtually maintenance free home.

Unlike most conventional pre-fabricated homes, the pre-fabricated World Home is transported as flat stacked sandwich panels that are quickly assembled at the home site. The pre-assembled panels which make up the monocoque structure are considerably less weight; approximately 80-percent less than conventional wood structures, which may allow for several smaller homes to be shipped on a single transport trailer. In some applications, pre-fabricated homes may be transported by air and dropped into remote areas.
