An individual building module for use in forming a room or similar of a building structure, typically of dwelling units in high-rise building structures, includes a structural framework of columns and beams, and infill panels made from light weight building material located between the columns and beams for forming the walls, floor and ceiling of the room. The lightweight building material is preferably autoclaved aerated concrete. Owing to the lighter weight of the building module, it can be more readily hoisted into position for installation in the building structure which is an advantage since specialised heavy duty lifting apparatus are not required. Individual building modules are interconnected to one another using a variety of different connectors. One preferred connector is a spigot having a locking arrangement for interlocking columns of adjacent modules to one another when in side-by-side and/or vertically stacked relationship to one another. The advantage of the connectors includes reducing lateral and/or vertical relative movement of the modules.

A reinforced building product and a method of manufacturing such a reinforced building product is described in which the building product comprises a generally solid rectilinear body of a lightweight cementitious material in the form of a panel of a regular parallelepiped shape having a generally curvilinear reinforcement embedded wholly within the rectilinear body in which part of the curved reinforcement is closer to one face of the building product and another part of the curved reinforcement is closer to another part of the building product thereby providing enhanced strength to the panel. A method of forming the curved reinforcement mesh is also described in which a generally planar mesh is deformed into a generally curved shape for being embedded within the rectilinear body during moulding of the panel. The curvilinear reinforcement imparts greater strength and rigidity to the building product to enable the panel to resist damage due to flexing or bending during manufacturing, handling and installation of the panel which is the advantage of such an arrangement.
