A composite building block (1) with a connective structure (4) between the inner (3) and outer (2) wall units is present. The wall units (2, 3) can be made of cement, clay, brick, or similar materials. The connective structure (4) is made of a material different than the wall units (2, 3) and may be integrally formed per the requirements of a particular wall construction project. In one embodiment, the connective structure (4) comprises a center form (10), and one or more arms (7) have connectors that connect to corresponding connectors integrally formed on the wall units (2, 3). The center form (10) may partition the cavity between the inner (3) and outer (2) wall units into two or more cavities (3b), which may then be partially filled with, for example, insulative material or load-bearing materials, such as concrete.
