A building system for constructing a building having at least one room comprises a plurality of prefabricated wall sections to form exterior walls. Each of the wall sections comprises a rigid, rectangular peripheral metal frame comprising a pair of opposed side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge, and having a height, when erected, generally corresponding to a height of said room. The rigid peripheral frame includes parallel composite side supports extending along said side edges to be vertical when the wall section is erected. Each rigid peripheral frame comprises a pair of coextensive, parallel, spaced apart sub-frames, each sub-frame being rectangular and comprising a pair of opposed side members, a top member and a bottom member, and each composite side support comprises a side member from a first of said pair of sub-frames, and another side member from a second of said pair of sub- frames, such that when the wall sections are joined together, a plurality of load bearing members are formed, each of which extends along the abutting side edges of adjacent wall sections and is comprised of four of said side members. Preferably, the spaces between the sub-frames are filled with fibreglass insulation. The system further comprises connecting means to join said plurality of said wall sections together in fixed relationship to one another, such that side edges of adjacent wall sections abut one another. The building system permits manufacture of the wall sections to be a two step process. For shipping into hard to reach places for which transport space is limited, baled, compressed fibreglass batting and the sub-frame structural members are shipped, disassembled, to an interim assembly station where the sub-frames and possibly the main frames may be assembled and ready for erection into a building.
