A method is provided for erecting a multi-story building on a foundation using a plurality of pre-manufactured multi-story wall panels. A plurality of wall panels are erected on the foundation to form a perimeter of wall panels which extend vertically to span two or more stories of the building. A plurality of floor joists are joined between multi-story wall panels to extend generally horizontally therebetween. Optionally, once erected, concrete can be placed between the studs of the wall panels and in channels between joists. Various methods and materials for finishing the exterior side of the wall panels and reinforcing the wall panels and the joists are also provided.
