A 3D construction module comprising: a) First and second vertically upstanding, spaced apart panels oriented generally longitudinally; b) First and second mesh layers oriented generally transversely and longitudinally, each of said first and second mesh layers comprising at least one rod member oriented generally transversely and being mounted to each of said first and second panels, said first and second mesh layers being vertically spaced from each other, said at least one rod member of said first mesh layer being longitudinally offset relative to said at least one rod member of said second mesh layer, said first and second mesh layers further each comprising first and second longitudinal rod members oriented generally longitudinally; said at least one rod member of said first mesh layer configured to co-operate with said at least one rod member of said second mesh layer to form a first horizontally projected retention cell to restrict longitudinal translation of vertical reinforcement bars held in said retention cell; c) a first vertical reinforcement bar held, respectively, in said retention cell, translation movement transversely of said vertical reinforcement bar being restricted by said first longitudinal rod member of said first mesh layer. 74. A module as claimed in claim 73 further comprising a reinforcement mesh comprising first and second reinforcement bars oriented generally longitudinally, said first and second reinforcement bars being interconnected by at least one transverse connecting rod member, said reinforcement mesh being vertically positioned between said panels between said first mesh and said second mesh.
