A method of construction is disclosed employing reinforced concrete building block modules which are assembled into load bearing walls. The modules are configured as hollow rectangles with each of the corners beveled and with reinforcing rods extending through each of the top, bottom and sides of the rectangle and into the bevel spaces. After assembling the modules into wall structures, the adjacent reinforcing rods are joined to each other and the bevel spaces filled in with concrete. The modules are optionally provided with attached or integrally formed exterior and/or interior facing panels and the hollow space within each module is adapted to be filled with foam insulation. In the resulting wall structure, the sides of each of the modules act as load bearing columns supporting the building floors, with the weight thereof transmitted into the columns by the top of each module acting as an arch. In an alternate form of the invention, the connection between reinforcing rods is provided by tensioning arrangements which also draw the block modules and floor together.
