The invention relates to a prefabricated construction element (1) having a permanent form, such as a longitudinal beam or a panel, consisting of two parallel plates that are formed, through molding and spaced apart from each other, from a hydraulic mixture such as concrete and from a built-in metal reinforcement, said plates being separated by an insulating block and connected together by transverse spacers (not shown), characterized in that said construction element (1) comprises consecutive prepositioning and bottom (6, 7) and/or top (8, 9) linking means, said bottom means (6, 7) consisting of a metal male connector (6) secured to the metal reinforcement of a first element (1) and arranged at the end of the bottom portion of said first element, and a metal female connector (7) secured to said metal reinforcement of a consecutive second element and arranged at the end of the bottom portion of said second element, the relative positioning of the male connector (6) and female connector (7) being such that said connectors can be connected together when the two consecutive elements (1) are assembled.
A construction system comprising at least two prefabricated construction elements each having a panel, the panels abutting each other along vertical faces, wherein each prefabricated element includes permanent formwork comprising two parallel plates at a distance from each other, each of the plates being in a solidified hydraulic mixture and including a built-in metal reinforcement, an insulating block separating the two plates, and transverse spacers interconnecting them, said construction system having prepositioning and connecting means to allow connection of two consecutive elements, formed by a male metal connector secured to the metal reinforcement of a first element, and by a female metal connector secured to the metal reinforcement of a second consecutive element, wherein the male connector includes a hook protruding in the direction of the female connector and the female connector forms a housing defined by first and second side walls perpendicularly stemming from a vertical face of a corner angle portion, delimiting a bottom corresponding transverse reservation, at an end of said second element, said first and second side walls being closed at their free ends by a third front wall perpendicularly stemming from a horizontal face of said corner angle, the hook cooperating with said third front wall to assemble the elements, the side walls of the housing of the female connector extending through fins extending away freely from each other to form a V, so as to allow guidance and facilitate the introduction of the hook in said housing.
