A building wall construction particularly adapted for a foundation or basement wall includes a plurality of pre-formed or pre-cast concrete panels which have a shiplap arrangement of flanges projecting from opposite side edges. When the panels are assembled at the site, the flanges form vertical chambers between the adjacent wall sections to receive columns of reinforcing concrete. Channels in the upper and lower ends of the panels communicate with channels in adjacent panels to afford casting of a continuous peripheral bond of concrete around each panel. The bonds around each panel are also integrally connected with the bonds around adjacent panels. The wall assembly also includes for each wall section a variable or universal panel which has both of the side flanges projecting from the outer building face. This panel reverses the sequence of the projecting flanges to insure that both corner panels for one wall have flanges projecting from the outside face to meet with the outside flanges from transverse wall sections. The panels also can be employed to form a horizontal building structure such as a roof. Hollow tubes molded in the panels add rigidity, reduce weight and can be employed as conduits for electrical, heating and plumbing connections.
