A method of constructing a construction shell, the method comprising the steps of: forming a sheet of thin flexible material into a shape complementary to the shape of a constructional shell to be formed; erecting and supporting the sheet material in the desired shape and configuration of shell required; strengthening and stiffening the sheet of thin material progressively to form a strengthened shell former of the desired shape; coating the strengthened and stiffened shell former with at least one layer of an outer or inner structural coating material so as to form a constructional shell of desired shape which can be used for a variety of different building constructions. The method of constructing an outer shell for a building according to the invention as hereinbefore described can additionally comprise the following steps: constructing a building foundation, foundation slab or wall of a desired shape; fixing peripheral edge parts of the sheet of material to the building foundation and erecting and supporting the sheet of material in a double curvature shape so that the sheet of thin material can be progressively stiffened and strengthened to form a stiffened shell former of the desired shape on which or inside of which a layer of structural coating material can be applied.
