Abstract
For the development of three-dimensional 3D modular parts in combination with panels, the modular assembly being equipped with joints that allow its flattening and transport stacked with the panels in the truck, to the construction site, where the assemblies are gradually removed for the assembly of the house. The modular parts, through the joints, are opened on site, such as the mirrored one forming square rings (16), fixed together in a longitudinal direction until forming a tunnel (18), to which another tunnel (19) is mounted in parallel, forming the base structure of the house to receive the internal and external closing panels, including finishing panels, in addition to the hydraulic and electrical elements and metal structure for the roof, receiving metal tiles, forming a novel system for the construction of a prefabricated house.

Description
Initial comments [001] The descriptive report refers to a patent application for the construction of a house with 3D modular parts combined with internal and external cladding panels, all interconnected to form a hybrid system, with the 3D modular parts being articulated and opened on the construction site for connection with the cladding panels. [002] Assembly in modular construction is preferably done using panels, which, because they are transported stacked, facilitate transport logistics; however, they require more connections between them at the construction site. 3D modular parts, on the other hand, require much more space in the truck, thus bringing limitations in this sense, but they gain in speed of assembly. [003] The 3D modular parts of the presented system are transported in the truck folded and closed, along with the closing panels, and, on site, they are removed, articulated and opened sequentially on the slab or foundation defined to receive the closing panels in quick and easy assembly, with work done by a small team of people, using simple tools and following an instruction manual. [004] This technology, which involves a set of 3D modular parts and panels in a hybrid system, will have its assembly explained later and, as will be seen, differs from any other offsite modular home construction system currently available on the market. Technical comments [005] There is a perceived current appreciation for offsite modular construction processes whereby houses are produced in a closed and controlled environment, producing 3D parts or panels, or both, which are transportable to the delivery site where assembly will take place on some type of foundation that has already been executed. [006] The appreciation of these offsite modular construction processes is also reinforced by increasingly intense and prevalent climate change, mainly due to accelerated deforestation (which, despite its devastating effect, continues to be practiced on a large scale). This has altered and deteriorated the quality of life on the planet, generating climate problems such as endless droughts or catastrophic floods, leaving millions of people in many areas of the world homeless and forced to relocate, being hastily accommodated in temporary and often precarious housing. Therefore, the search for new solutions has led to an increasing effort in the development of new construction technologies in the industrial model, produced in safer, faster, and more sustainable ways, with less waste of material and energy resources. [007] The inventor of the application to be described below has been working on the development of offsite modular construction systems for many years, including an invention of his already registered with the INPI under number BR1020160054184 - TRANSPORTABLE BOX, WITH SYSTEM FOR ASSEMBLING A COMPLETE HOUSE”. Purpose of the request [008] An innovative set made from modular, three-dimensional 3D parts (with planes on the three axes - x-y-z), developed so that after being produced in the factory they can be folded and closed into a compact format, leaving no empty space in the transport truck, being arranged in a specific order. Because all their planes are aligned and overlapped in order to reduce their dimensions, it reduces logistics and transport costs. [009] In the assembly of the house, the 3D modular pieces are gradually removed, articulated and opened to achieve their final shape and, in the case of the “C” shaped pieces, which have parts of the floor, wall and roof, and are the main pieces in the assembly of the house, their opening will define the order of assembly of the house. These “C” shaped pieces, when placed opposite an identical piece by their open side, form a “square ring” which, in turn, with successive repetitions of this operation and interconnecting these square rings longitudinally, form a parallelepiped structure of a “tunnel”. [010] One, two, three, or four "tunnels" can be braced and fixed side-by-side to form the main structure of the house. Once this structure is complete, it will first receive a 3D closing piece in the central floor space, and subsequently, depending on the number of rainwater drainage planes chosen for the roof, it may or may not receive a 3D closing piece in the central ceiling space. Then, the internal partition panels and the external closing panels will be installed, properly interconnected with the modular 3D pieces that formed the tunnels. Where metal or wooden frames are present, they will already be installed, and then the electrical and plumbing installations will be placed on the roof slab with connections to the wall branches. Finally, a rigid galvanized steel metal structure will be placed and fixed on the roof slab, and the roof tiles will be fixed on top of it, completing the assembly of the house. [011] The system presented allows for two assembly options with different parts, but similar in shape; the first using the smaller and lighter parts, cal
