1. A building, comprising: a structural frame of the building, at least one window or door supported by and substantially aligned to the structural frame, and an external wall formed from insulated sandwich panels, the insulated sandwich panels in the external wall being supported by the structural frame, the insulated sandwich panels being offset externally from the structural frame; each insulated sandwich panel comprising two skins and a continuous insulation layer sandwiched in between the skins;the external wall including insulating sealing means at any junction or space between the insulated sandwich panels and between the insulated sandwich panels and the at least one window or door, so that an insulation layer, formed by the continuous insulation layers and the sealing means, is continuous within the external wall and around the at least one window or door;the structural frame is exposed in at least part of an interior of the building when the building is finished and wherein at least part of an internal wiring of the building traverses the interior of the building on and/or in the structural frame;wherein a surface of one of the skins of at least one of the insulated sandwich panels is metal; andwherein a portion of a metal surface of at least one of the insulated sandwich panels adjoining another insulative component of the building comprises at least one channel configured to break thermal conduction along the portion of the insulated sandwich panel in a direction transverse to the at least one channel. 2. The building according to claim 1, the external wall further comprising sealing means at a junction or space between sandwich panels or between sandwich panels and other building components, including the at least one window or door the structural frame, a floor and a roof so as to substantially reduce or eliminate a flow of air through that junction or space. 3. The building according to claim 1, wherein the structural frame is pre-finished. 4. The building according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the insulated sandwich panels is pre-finished. 5. The building according to claim 1, further comprising: a subfloor structure for supporting the building;the structural frame further comprising a plurality of frame members including supporting posts, beams, joists and connections to the subfloor structure including slab or stump footings;wherein the frame is connected to the subfloor structure at one or more support junctions and the insulated sandwich panels and the sealing means are fixed externally of the frame, such that the insulated sandwich panels or the sealing means extend past the one or more support junctions such that substantially an entirety of the frame is insulated from an external environment and thermally separated from any parts of the frame or the one or more support junctions outside the insulation layer. 6. The building according to claim 1, wherein the structural frame is substantially made of metal. 7. The building according to claim 1, the portion comprising two adjacent generally parallel channels. 8. The building according to claim 1, wherein another component of the building is a further insulated sandwich panel, and the portion adjoins an insulating layer of the further insulated sandwich panel. 9. The building according to claim 1, wherein the at least one channel substantially follows a path which extends parallel to edges of the at least one insulated sandwich panel, such that an internal part of the insulated sandwich panel is thermally isolated from the edges of the panel. 10. The building according to claim 1, wherein the at least one channel is 1 mm to 12 mm wide. 11. The building according to claim 1, wherein the portion or a joint between the portion and the another component of the building comprises support material such that the portion or the joint is strengthened. 12. The building according to claim 1, wherein the interior of the building is substantially airtight and thermally isolated from an exterior.
