A prefabricated volumetric construction module includes a self-supporting structure and pairs of corner castings rl arranged at least at the corners of the structure. During building construction, the modules are assembled and secured together using © connection rods and interlocking plates to provide vertical securement between vertically adjoining modules and horizontal securement between horizontally adjoining modules.
