         10 . The building panel of  claim 1 , wherein the polymeric block comprises one or more passages, wherein at least one of the passages comprises a horizontal slot on a surface of the polymeric block, wherein the horizontal slot is configured to receive one or more electrical lines or one or more plumbing lines. 
     
     
         11 . The building panel of  claim 1 , wherein the polymeric block comprises one or more doorway cut-outs. 
     
     
         12 . The building panel of  claim 1 , wherein one or more electrical lines preinstalled in the polymeric block. 
     
     
         13 . The building panel of  claim 1 , wherein one or more plumbing lines preinstalled in the polymeric block. 
     
     
         14 . The building panel of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more studs coupled in one or more of the slots on the surface of the polymeric block. 
     
     
         15 - 24 . (canceled) 
     
     
         25 . A building panel, comprising:
 one or more polymeric blocks;   one or more framing studs at least partially embedded in or to at least one of the one or more polymeric blocks; and   one or more surface-mounted framing studs mounted on at least one exterior surface of the polymeric block, wherein the orientation of at least one of the surface-mounted framing studs is different from the orientation of at least one of the one or more embedded framing studs.   
     
     
         26 - 57 . (canceled) 
     
     
         58 . A building, comprising:
 two or more building panels coupled to one another,   wherein at least one of the building panels comprises:   a polymeric block comprising a panel interior surface and an panel exterior surface;   one or more framing studs at least partially embedded in or to the polymeric block, wherein the panel interior surface of the polymeric block is offset from the framing studs.   
     
     
         59 . The building of  claim 58 , wherein at least one of the building panels is configured to be freestanding during when installed on a base structure for the building. 
     
     
         60 . The building of  claim 58 , wherein at least one of the building panels comprises a frame, wherein the frame is at least partially embedded in the polymeric block of the panel. 
     
     
         61 . The building of  claim 58 , further comprising one or more panel connectors, wherein at least one of the connectors at least one of the building panels to at least one other of the building panels. 
     
     
         62 . The building of  claim 58 , wherein at least one of the building panels is coupled to at least one other of the building panels by way of tongue-in-groove connection. 
     
     
         63 . The building of  claim 58 ,
 wherein the two more building panels comprise a first building panel and a second building panel, wherein the first building panel and the second building panel couple with one another in a corner,   wherein each of the first building panel and the second building panel comprise a framed polymeric portion, an interior polymeric portion offset from the framed polymeric portion, and a notch,   wherein the notches in the first building panel and the second building panel are arranged in a complementary manner at the junction between the first building panel and the second building panel such that the interior polymeric portion of the first building panel meets the framed portion of the second building panel and the interior polymeric portion of the second building panel meets the offset portion of the first building panel.   
     
     
         64 . The building of  claim 58 , further comprising an adhesive configured to couple at least one of the building panels to at least one other of the building panels. 
     
     
         65 . The building of  claim 58 , wherein at least one of the building panels forms a portion of a wall of the building. 
     
     
         66 . The building of  claim 58 , wherein at least one of the building panels forms a portion of a roof of the building. 
     
     
         67 . The building of  claim 58 , wherein the offset in the polymeric block forms an insulating portion that thermally insulates the framing studs from the interior surface of the polymeric block.
