Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a prefabricated structural beam unit for a building structure. The beam unit includes a planar sole, two laterally spaced, elongate sidewall sections, and two longitudinally spaced endwall sections. The sole, sidewall sections and endwall sections combine to define a cuboid cavity at least partially filled with a composite material, wherein at least one endwall section includes one or more structural engagement connectors dimensioned to engage with, or interlock, under gravity assistance with one or more complementary structural engagement connectors forming part of a further prefabricated building unit of the building structure. Other embodiments relate to a prefabricated structural column unit.
