A building system using prefabricated building panels preferably with a foam core and the fastening components and raceway components used therewith which may be substantially incorporated during prefabrication. An improved method for the assembling of a building or structure which building preferably uses foam core structural wall, floor, ceiling and roof panels. Locking mechanisms are used and integrated with a raceway system. The raceway system is comprised of components which are used in conjunction with the locking mechanisms to form utility carrying raceways and to securely connect wall panels together in edge-to-edge relationship to form walls including structural walls and curtain walls, roof panels to form the roof and to connect the wall panels and roof panels together to result in a complete structure. The raceway system is preferably included and integral with the locking mechanisms of the building system. That is, the raceway system also serves to enhance, when used with the locking mechanism, the locking interengagement of the various building panels. The invention further relates to particular locking or fastening components; a ram-lock device and a cam-lock device. The ram-lock device comprises basically two components, a ram-lock coupling and thread components. The cam-lock device also comprises basically two components, a cam-lock hook component and a cam-lock latch component.
