Abstract: There is provided a building formwork module (12) for use in a modular formwork system (10). The module (12) comprises a first face (14) and a second face (16) that are connected by a web (20). The faces (14, 16) and web (2) define two channels (22, 24) that extend along the longitudinal length of the module (12). The channels (22, 24) are able to accommodate wall forming material such that the wall forming material is able to solidify therein. The web (12) in the module (14) provides the module (12) with a rigidity that maintains a relatively flat outer surface on at least the first side (14) of the module (12) against what would be the pressure applied by wall forming material as it solidifies within the two channels (22, 24).

Abstract: A building formwork module is described for use in a modular formwork system. The building formwork module comprises a body portion defining at least one elongate channel that extends through the building formwork module, the body portion having at least two sides. A first side is provided with a first distancing means that is arranged such when the first side is disposed in abutting relationship with a side of an adjacent building formwork module an elongate gap is defined between the first side and the side of the adjacent module. A settable material can be directed into the at least one elongate channel and the elongate gap between two adjacent modules.
