1. A modular building unit for use in constructing a building comprising:
- a top, a base, two opposed ends and at least one open side,the at least one open side extending between the two opposed ends and being substantially free of structural supports;
the modular building unit being configured to be interconnected to a second modular building unit along the at least one open side; and
the building unit being dimensioned to enable the building unit to be accommodated at or within a predetermined width limit for transportation before assembly and the building unit and the second modular building unit, when assembled, exceeding the predetermined width limit.

Abstract
A modular building unit for use in constructing a building comprises a top, a base, two opposed ends and at least one open side. The at least one open side extends between the two opposed ends and is free of upwardly extending structural supports. The modular building unit is configured to be interconnected to a second modular building unit along the at least one open side. The building unit is dimensioned to enable the building unit to be accommodated at or within a predetermined width limit for transportation before assembly and the building unit and the second modular building unit, when assembled, exceeding the predetermined width limit.
