ABSTRACT:
A modular construction system for a plural-level building formed of a plurality of box-like modular units. Each unit includes side walls, a roof and a floor, and has a cantilevered portion. When stacked to form a building structure, the units are arranged in a first row in staggered configuration with alternate units in the first row extending in a frontward direction and the remaining units in the first row extending in a rearward direction, with the cantilevered portions of the frontwardly extending units overlapping with the cantilevered portions of the rearwardly extending units. The units are further stacked in a second row overlying the first row with the units in the second row being in staggered configuration wherein alternate units in the second row extend in a frontward direction and the remaining units extend in a rearward direction. A unit in the second row is supported by each of two alternate units in the first row which extend in a like direction as that of the one unit in the second row; and at least a part of the cantilevered portion of the one unit in the second row is supported at least in part by an adjacent unit.
