A building construction is provided in which a series of building units (5) are arranged in courses thereof to define walls to the building and wherein adjacent building units are located relative to each other by complementary inter-engaging formations (9, 10) at the operatively vertical ends thereof as well as by a series of uprights (3, 31) positioned at predetermined spaced centres passing through holes in the building units. The uprights are secured at their operatively lower ends to a common anchorage selected from a slab (1), a foundation, and a generally horizontal frame member (32). The hole through the building unit and the uprights have cooperating cross-sectional shapes and sizes such that the uprights serving directly to locate the building unit relative to the upright in a horizontal plane without any grouting or other filling material being introduced. The building units preferably have facing sheets providing a final external appearance and a core of lightweight foam material, typically and expanded naturally occurring mineral or a foam plastic material such as polystyrene or polyurethane. The invention also provides building units and wall panels embodying same. |
