A modular connector and modular bolt can be adapted to connect first and second prefabricated building components together. The modular connector can include a recess having a multistage notch structure that can be coupled with protrusions of a modular bolt. The chamber can also include a moveable butting element that is operably coupled with the multistage notch structure, where the moveable butting element can be adapted to move further into the chamber when the modular bolt is received by the multistage recess structure such that a relative position of the second prefabricated building component is adjustable with respect to the first prefabricated building component.

1. A modular connector for attaching prefabricated walls and columns comprising: a body structure having an internal chamber with an opening at one end and a closed base opposite of the opening with a multistage notch structure having a plurality of chamber stages in the internal chamber, each chamber stage has one or more chamber recesses and one or more chamber protrusions;a modular bolt having an external multistage protrusion structure with a plurality of bolt stages, each bolt stage has one or more bolt protrusions and one or more bolt recesses, wherein one or more of the bolt stages couple with one or more of the chamber stages when the modular bolt is received into and coupled with the internal chamber; anda moveable butting structure having a butting element coupled to a biasing element, the moveable butting structure located within the internal chamber and having the biasing element abutting a surface of the closed base, the moveable butting element being adapted to move toward the base upon being contacted by an end of the modular bolt such that a relative position of the moveable butting element and opening is adjustable. 2. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein each of the one or more chamber recesses of the modular connector comprises a ridge having a sloped surface and a lateral surface. 3. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein the multistage notch structure is a first multistage notch structure and the moveable butting element is a first moveable butting element, the connector further comprising: the body structure having a second internal chamber with a second opening at one end and a second closed base opposite of the second opening with a second multistage notch structure having a plurality of second chamber stages in the second internal chamber, each second chamber stage has one or more second chamber recesses and one or more second chamber protrusions; anda second moveable butting structure having a butting element coupled to a biasing element, the moveable butting structure located within the second internal chamber and having the biasing element abutting a surface of the second closed base, the second moveable butting element being adapted to move toward the second base such that a relative position of the second movable butting element and second opening is adjustable. 4. The modular connector of claim 3, wherein the first and second multistage notch structures are located substantially perpendicular to one another within the body structure. 5. The modular connector of claim 3, wherein the first and second multistage notch structures are located on opposite sides of the body structure. 6. The modular connector of claim 3, further comprising a third chamber having a third multistage notch structure coupled or integrated with the body structure, and a third moveable butting structure located within the third chamber, the third moveable butting structure having a butting element coupled to a biasing element, wherein the biasing element abuts a surface of a third closed base of the third chamber. 7. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein in a first connector position with the modular bolt coupled with the internal chamber the butting element is at a first chamber stage, in a second connector position the butting element is at the second chamber stage deeper in the internal chamber. 8. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein each chamber stage of the multistage notch structure is adapted to receive a corresponding bolt stage of the multistage protrusion structure of the modular bolt such that the butting element is movable further into the chamber, the movement increasing the number of chamber stages mated with bolt stages. 9. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein each chamber stage has a substantially same lateral chamber recess depth and substantially same chamber protrusion height. 10. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein each chamber stage is evenly spaced from the opening toward the base. 11. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein a first chamber recess of each chamber stage extends circumferentially around at least one chamber side wall at a substantially constant depth from the opening. 12. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein a first chamber protrusion of each chamber stage extends circumferentially around the at least one chamber side wall at a substantially constant depth from the opening. 13. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein the one or more chamber protrusions for each chamber stage define one or more stage apertures. 14. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein each chamber stage has a lateral wall surface and sloped wall surface. 15. The modular connector of claim 14, wherein the sloped wall surface slopes away from the opening and toward the base. 16. The modular connector of claim 14, wherein the sloped wall surface slopes toward the opening and away from the base. 17. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein each chamber stage includes a first sloped wall surface that slopes away from the opening and toward the base and a second sloped wall surface that slopes toward the opening and away from the base. 18. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein each chamber stage includes two lateral walls separated by a longitudinal wall. 19. The modular connector of claim 1, wherein each chamber stage has same shape and dimensions.
