A tough, water-proof building system provides wall, ceiling, and floor structures, as well as accessories. The walls can be designed to have vertical and horizontal strengths sufficient to be used in place of concrete, as an engineered solution, both above grade and below-grade, including in severe weather conditions. Walls have inner and outer layers, and structurally reinforcing members extending, typically as a layer and/or stud, the full height of the wall, at spaced locations along the length of the wall. The spaces between the structurally reinforcing members are optionally filled with insulating foam. An optional reinforcing stud is attached to, or overlaid by, the inner layer, and extends inwardly into the building from what is otherwise the inner surface of the building panel/wall panel. A building floor can be supported from the load-bearing wall, at locations on the floor support members which are below the top of the load-bearing wall.

A building as in claim 5, said building further comprising a concrete slab floor overlying portions of said bottom plate in ones of said channels and abutting said second outermost surface of said foundation wall, including in ones of such channels. 7. A building as in claim 1, a given said stud comprising first and second legs (128) spaced from each other and extending from the innermost surface in a direction away from both of said inner layer and said outer layer to an end panel (130) of the respective said stud. 8. A building as in claim 1, said upright wall further comprising a structurally-reinforcing web extending, at spaced locations along the length of said wall, from locations at or proximate said inner layer to locations at or proximate said outer layer and thereby defining intercostals between said inner and outer layers. 9. A building as in claim 1, further comprising thermal insulation in at least one of the channels (131), extending generally from a first one of said studs to a second one of said studs, and from said innermost layer to the fourth side of the channel. 10. A building, comprising: (a) a load-bearing foundation, said foundation comprising a footer, and a foundation wall supported from said footer, said foundation wall having a top, a bottom, a length, a thickness, an inner layer, and an outer layer, a plurality of fiber-reinforced studs being spaced along the length of said foundation wall and extending away from a body of said foundation wall, channels being defined between respective ones of said studs, a given said channel being bounded on two sides by ones of said studs, and on a third side by said inner layer, a fourth side of said channel, opposite the third side, being unbounded by any element of said upright foundation wall, further comprising a bottom plate under said foundation wall, including under such channels, said bottom plate extending along the length of said foundation wall including under ones of the channels; and(b) an upright wall supported by said foundation wall, said upright wall having a height defined between a top and a bottom, a length, and a thickness, and comprising (i) an outer fiber-reinforced polymeric layer, said outer layer defining an outermost surface of said upright wall,(ii) an inner fiber-reinforced polymeric layer, said inner layer defining an innermost surface (25) of said upright wall,(iii) a structurally-reinforcing web extending at spaced locations along the length of said wall, from locations at or proximate said inner layer to locations at or proximate said outer layer and thereby defining intercostals between said inner and outer layers. 11.
