ABSTRACT:
A prefabricated, movable and reusable, semipermanent modular building structure is provided for attachment to a common hallway of an existing permanent building for expanding the size thereof. It is based on a plurality of foundation units arranged along the ground to define a contiguous perimeter of the structure and, optionally, interior support within the perimeter. Each foundation unit on the perimeter can have a decorative finish on one vertical face thereof. Every foundation unit includes a mechanism for leveling same relative to adjacent foundation units, and a fixture for the coupling of a tie-down thereto. At least one building unit rests atop the foundation units. A portion of each building unit located over any of the foundation units can be moved to provide access to the foundation unit's leveling mechanism and tie-down fixture. A tie-down device is used to couple the building unit to the tie-down fixture of a foundation unit.
