A lightweight, low cost, insulating construction panel having a rectangular channel-iron frame, an outside face of lightweight corrugated metal, a main filler comprising a perlite and pumice binder sandwiching an insulating foam core. The construction panel has a plurality of vertical channel irons spaced in succession and forming a plane common to an inside face of the panel. Two weld wire screens are disposed against each of the inner surface and the outer surface of the foam core, and fastened together through individual weld wires extending horizontally through the foam core. The outside face may have a decorative, cementitious material. Each box frame has attachment means along each of four perimeter sides capable of mechanical attachment to a foundation and to at least three other panels so as to become load-bearing. The construction panel is strong, flexible, termite and fire-proof, and hurricane and earthquake resistant.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. A lightweight building panel, comprising:a rectangular channel-iron frame, said frame having a horizontal top member, a horizontal bottom member, a vertically-oriented left member, a vertically-oriented right member, each said member having an inside flange, an outside flange, and a perimeter surface, said frame having attachment means along each said perimeter surface, wherein said attachment means is a steel spring clip and corresponding notch for receiving said spring clip and said means capable of connecting said frame to a foundation weld plate and to each of three other frames so as to form a load-bearing wall assembly;an outside face of lightweight, structural corrugated metal, wherein said corrugated metal doubles as a form floor;an inside face opposite said outside face;a main filler comprising a perlite and pumice aggregate mix sandwiching an insulating foam core, said core having an outer surface proximate said outside face of said panel, and an inner surface proximate said inside face of said panel;a pair of wire mesh screens sandwiching said foam core, said screens fastened together through individual weld wires extending horizontally through said foam core;a plurality of vertically oriented channel-iron support members spaced in horizontal succession to form a plane defining said inside face of said panel;a plurality of reinforcing bars extending between and connecting said top member to said bottom member, and a plurality of reinforcing bars extending between and connecting said left member to said right member so as to form a plane between said outer surface and said outside face;a decorative coating on said inside face and said outside face of said panel;wherein, said inside flange of said top member and said inside flange of said bottom member are notched so as to receive said support members such that said support members remain flush with said inside face, and wherein said reinforcing bars are welded to said channel-iron frame.
