A lightweight building panel made from autoclaved aerated concrete has a lifting element in the form of an insert partially embedded within the panel and having at least one exposed end extending from an access void provided in at least one surface of the building panel to allow lifting of the panel by a lifting apparatus connectable to the lifting element. The lifting element can take a variety of forms and be located at different locations within the panel. The access void provides clearance enabling access to the end of the lifting element for releasable attachment of the lifting apparatus to the panel. The advantage of having an integral lifting element is that multiple building panels can be lifted in unison and, if required, deposited one at a time in sequence where required for installation in a building in a single lift operation.
