Disclosed is a building system with an unusual combination of foam plastic and common structural members. Flanged steel structural members are inserted through openings in wire trusses and the resulting assembly is fused together with foam plastic inside a large mold. Multiple copies of said assemblies are molded into a single large block of polystyrene. This method provides for subsequent separation of the panels using conventional hot wire cutting equipment. The separated assemblies have flat flanges that project toward the panel faces but are hidden under a thin layer of foam plastic. Access to these flanges allows mechanical attachment of panel-joining membranes and a wide variety of surface finish materials. This method simultaneously provides smooth polystyrene surfaces for adhesive attachment of some finishes, including those that utilize glass fiber mesh.
