There are disclosed modular building units, building systems, buildings, methods of constructing a building, kits for forming a modular building unit, and methods of constructing a modular building unit of a building. One method of constructing a modular building unit (12aIV) comprises the steps of: providing a service pod (50bIV) configured to perform a service function within the building, the service pod comprising a structural frame (110bIV) having at least one load-bearing support (214); providing a roof structure (99aIV) for the modular building unit; providing a floor structure (103aIV) for the modular building unit, and connecting the service pod to the floor structure to form a modular building unit sub-assembly (200) comprising the service pod and the floor structure, and then connecting the roof structure to the modular building unit sub-assembly to form the modular building unit, by connecting the roof structure to the service pod. The service pod is arranged so that the at least one load-bearing support extends between and connects the roof structure to the floor structure, structural loading being transmitted from the roof structure to the floor structure through the at least one load-bearing support.
