Abstract A modular building unit for construction of a building, said modular building unit comprises a structural frame suitable for interconnection to another modular building unit in construction of the building, a stud frame panel internal and parallel to an adjacent face of the structural frame, a weather resistant removable external panel affixed to each side and end face of the structural frame and is in-line with the corresponding side or end face of the structural frame, and one or more removable vertical supports. The external panel covers the stud frame panel when in place. The modular building unit is suitable for handling as a shipping container for transport. The removable vertical supports extend between horizontal members of the structural frame and located between the weather resistant removable external panel and the stud frame panel parallel to the respective adjacent face of the structural frame.
